Conciliar Sect’s Migrant Ministry Undermines Divine Law and National Sovereignty
The EWTN News portal (January 26, 2026) reports on the launch of “Catholic IMMpact” – a collaboration between the Hope Border Institute (HOPE) and Center for Migration Studies (CMS) to organize diocesan resistance against U.S. immigration enforcement. The initiative promotes parish training for public demonstrations, pressuring bishops to issue statements against deportations, and framing border controls as violations of “human dignity.” This program follows the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) condemnation of “indiscriminate mass deportation,” endorsed by antipope Leo XIV.
Subordination of Supernatural Mission to Political Agendas
The conciliar sect reduces the Church’s divine mission to social activism, stating its goal is “making visible the love of Jesus Christ” through opposition to immigration laws. This echoes the modernist heresy condemned by St. Pius X: “The Church has no right to interfere outside her own sphere… She has no competence in the political order.” (Encyclical Vehementer Nos, 1906). The true Church teaches that while caritas requires aiding distressed individuals, it never sanctions lawlessness. Pius XII explicitly affirmed that nations possess “the right to control borders according to the common good” (Apostolic Constitution Exsul Familia, 1952), a truth conspicuously absent from this initiative.
Naturalism Masquerading as Charity
Nowhere does the article mention the primary duty of converting migrants to the Catholic Faith, instead reducing “pastoral care” to material activism. This fulfills Pius IX’s condemnation: “The Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics because it steadfastly adheres to views which cannot be reconciled with modern progress” (Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 63). The project’s stated focus on “parish training” and “community engagement” constitutes organized dissent against civil authority – a direct violation of St. Paul’s command: “Let every soul be subject to higher powers: for there is no power but from God” (Romans 13:1).
Ecclesiastical Subversion Through False Obedience
The USCCB’s involvement demonstrates the conciliar sect’s corruption, as it pressures clergy to prioritize social engineering over spiritual duties. J. Kevin Appleby’s claim that “the Church in the U.S. is the one institution positioned to effectively oppose these enforcement tactics” inverts the Church’s mission. Contrast this with Pope Pius XI’s teaching: “The Church has not been instituted to conduct the earthly government, but to lead souls to eternal beatitude” (Encyclical Divini Redemptoris, 1937). By encouraging civil disobedience under the guise of “accompaniment,” these organizations pervert the virtue of obedience and endanger souls.
Antipapal Endorsement Seals Apostate Character
The project gains pseudo-legitimacy through antipope Leo XIV’s endorsement of the USCCB’s message. This follows the pattern of conciliar apostasy described in Pius X’s Pascendi Dominici Gregis: “The Modernist apologist does not deny, but actually maintains, that the Church must be subject to the civil authority” (§39). True popes never endorsed disobedience to lawful authority, as demonstrated by Pope Gregory XVI’s condemnation of those who “excite the people to overthrow civil regimes” (Encyclical Mirari Vos, 1832).
Conclusion: Revolt Against Christ the King
This initiative constitutes spiritual rebellion against the Social Reign of Christ the King, reducing the Church to a non-governmental organization. As Pius XI warned: “When God and Jesus Christ are removed from laws and states, the foundations of authority are destroyed” (Encyclical Quas Primas, 1925). Until nations recognize Christ’s sovereignty and immigrants submit to His Law, no political program can produce true justice or peace. The conciliar sect’s migrant ministry serves not the Gospel, but the globalist dissolution of Christendom.
