The EWTN News portal (December 10, 2025) reports on threats against Notre Dame College and Holy Cross College in Bangladesh from the group “Tawhidee Muslim Janata,” accusing Catholic institutions of proselytism. Archbishop Bejoy D’Cruze of Dhaka denies conversion activities, pleading for security while emphasizing the Church’s educational contributions to Muslim-majority Bangladesh. The article notes recent attacks on Catholic sites in Dhaka, including bombings at St. Mary’s Cathedral and Holy Rosary Church. This report exemplifies the conciliar sect’s suicidal tolerance of Islamic aggression while abandoning the Church’s divine mandate to convert all nations.
Naturalistic Appeasement Replaces Supernatural Mission
Archbishop D’Cruze’s statement that “the Catholic Church is not involved in proselytization” constitutes blasphemous betrayal of Christ’s final command: “Euntes ergo docete omnes gentes, baptizantes eos in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti” (Going therefore, teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost – Matthew 28:19). The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 1350) explicitly commands: “Missionarii obligatione tenentur fidei mysteria annuntiandi Christi regnum ubique terrarum dilatandi” (Missionaries are bound by obligation to announce the mysteries of faith and extend Christ’s kingdom everywhere). By denying the Church’s evangelizing mission, this “archbishop” aligns himself with Vatican II’s heretical declaration Dignitatis Humanae, condemned by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors (1864): “Liberty of conscience and worship is each man’s personal right…” (Proposition 77).
The article’s focus on “educational contributions” while omitting any reference to the salvation of souls reveals the conciliar sect’s reduction of Catholicism to social work. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) condemns this naturalism: “When God and Jesus Christ are removed from laws and states, the foundations of authority are destroyed…” The threat that Muslims “will not spare your places of prayer, churches, cathedrals” stems directly from the Vatican II sect’s refusal to proclaim Christ’s exclusive kingship over nations and individuals.
Islamic Aggression as Divine Chastisement for Apostasy
The attacks on Catholic institutions follow the predictable pattern when shepherds abandon their flocks. Pope Pius XI warned in Quas Primas: “Rulers of states must give public honor and obedience to Christ…” Instead, the conciliar hierarchy in Bangladesh tolerates Islamic supremacy while its “educational institutions” – as noted in the Muslim group’s letter – teach 90% Muslim students without converting them. This fulfills St. Pius X’s prophecy in Notre Charge Apostolique (1910): “The Church has been reduced to a humanitarian, pacifist, and egalitarian society.”
The article’s claim that “Catholics make up less than 1% of Bangladesh’s population” after centuries of missionary work proves the conciliar church’s impotence. Contrast this with the true missionaries like St. Francis Xavier, who baptized 10,000 per month in Goa, or the Martyrs of Nagasaki, who died rather than compromise the faith. The Syllabus of Errors (Proposition 16) explicitly condemns the notion that “Man may find the way of eternal salvation in the observance of any religion whatever.” Yet D’Cruze begs protection from Muslims rather than demanding their conversion – a dereliction of episcopal duty condemned by the Council of Trent (Session XXIII, Chapter I on the Hierarchy).
Theological Cowardice Invites Persecution
Nowhere does the article mention the state of grace, eternal damnation, or the duty to flee false religions. The Muslim letter’s demand to “ensure institutions are not used for religious conversion” goes unchallenged by EWTN’s reporting, which tacitly accepts Islam’s blasphemous claim to supersede Christianity. This violates Canon 1325 of the 1917 Code: “Catholics must defend the faith against opponents with all their strength.”
The conciliar church’s paralysis stems from its false ecumenism. Pope Pius XI’s Mortalium Animos (1928) forbade “participating in interreligious gatherings which presuppose all religions are equally valid.” Yet the Bangladeshi hierarchy likely engages in such dialogues, emboldening Islamic radicals to attack churches while “thanking” them for education. As Pope St. Pius X warned in Lamentabili Sane (1907), Modernism reduces religion to “human self-awareness of divine relations” (Proposition 20), making the Church powerless against militant Islam.
