Colombian Senate’s Empty Gesture to Sacred Heart Amidst Modernist Apostasy
The Colombian Senate passed a law on December 15, 2025, recognizing the “historical, religious, and cultural value” of the Church of the National Vow in Bogotá, a structure built following Colombia’s 1902 consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Senator Mauricio Giraldo framed the legislation as “caring for the soul of a country,” claiming the church symbolized post-war reconciliation after the Thousand Days’ War (1899–1902). The law enables state-funded restoration due to the basilica’s structural decay, with the senator proclaiming it protects “the heart of Colombia.”
Naturalism Masquerading as Piety
The legislation reduces the Sacred Heart devotion—a reparatory act for humanity’s offenses against Christ the King—to a cultural artifact. By emphasizing the building’s “historical and cultural value” over its supernatural purpose, the law enshrines the modernist heresy condemned by Pope St. Pius X: treating religion as a sociological phenomenon rather than the means of salvation (Encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis, 1907). Senator Giraldo’s declaration that “Colombia cannot renounce its roots” conspicuously omits the Duty of States to Submit to Christ’s Reign, as decreed by Pope Pius XI: “Rulers of nations must publicly honor and obey Christ” (Quas Primas, 1925).
“Legislating also means caring for the soul of a country”
This statement epitomizes the theological bankruptcy of post-conciliar regimes. No civil law can “care for souls” while rejecting the Church’s divine authority to bind and loose (Matthew 16:19). The Church alone holds the keys to eternal life, yet the senator’s words imply the state possesses a parallel salvific role—a blasphemous echo of the Freemasonic tenet that “the state is the source of all rights” (Pius IX, Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 39).
Invalid Consecration in an Age of Apostasy
The original 1902 consecration occurred under valid ecclesiastical authority, but today’s Colombia operates under anti-Catholic governance. The “consecration” Giraldo celebrates is meaningless while Colombia’s regime:
– Permits abortion and gender ideology (laws 1719/2014 and 2106/2021)
– Recognizes pagan indigenous “rights” over Catholic evangelization (2016 Peace Accord)
– Hosts “papal” visits from antipopes who preach syncretism (Bergoglio’s 2017 trip)
True consecration requires public submission to Christ’s Social Kingship, as Pope Pius XI taught: “Nations will find peace only when they recognize the reign of our Savior” (Quas Primas). Colombia’s modernist hierarchy—applauding this law—betrays the Sacred Heart by tolerating sacrileges like Bogotá’s annual LGBT “pride” marches passing the basilica’s doors.
The Masonic Stain on Sacred Symbols
The church’s designation as a “national monument” (1975) and “minor basilica” (1964) under antipope Paul VI exposes its compromised status. Paul VI’s liturgical vandalism (Missale Romanum, 1969) and ecumenical apostasies (Nostra Aetate) render his decrees spiritually void. Structural decay requiring “protective netting” mirrors the conciliar church’s collapse: a hollow facade awaiting state subsidies while its guardians deny the Faith.
Sacred Heart Devotion Perverted
The Sacred Heart revelations to St. Margaret Mary (1675) demanded reparation for outrages against the Eucharist and consecration of nations to Christ’s Kingship. Colombia’s law accomplishes neither:
– It ignores the 300+ attacks on Catholic churches since 2017 (ACI Prensa data)
– Funds restoration while state schools teach children to scorn chastity
– Celebrates a building while Colombia’s “president” Gustavo Petro promotes Marxism
Conclusion: When Stones Cry Out
This law is a political spectacle, not an act of faith. As the true Church teaches: “When God is excluded from laws, society collapses into violence” (Pius XI, Ubi Arcano). Until Colombia abolishes its blasphemous laws and expels modernist usurpers, no Senate decree—however ornate its language—will halt its descent into chaos. Let the crumbling stones of the National Vow Basilica testify: A nation that abandons Christ the King builds on sand (Matthew 7:26).
