Conciliar Sect’s “Religious Freedom” Summit Promotes Global Apostasy
The EWTN News portal (February 2, 2026) reports on a plenary session at the International Religious Freedom Summit where panelists Knox Thames, Melissa Rogers, Jordan Sekulow, and Ahmed Shaheed advocated for “religious freedom” through interfaith coalitions, storytelling techniques, and persistence in lobbying governments. The article frames religious liberty as a “human right” requiring “multilevel” cooperation between state actors and grassroots movements, with Sekulow claiming “we win for everyone” when advocating for religious groups and Rogers calling for alignment with a “broader human rights agenda.”
The Naturalist Fallacy of Religious Indifferentism
The panel’s foundational error lies in its embrace of libertas perditionis (freedom of perdition) condemned by Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos (1832) as “a delirium” and “false and absurd maxim.” By equating all religions as equal beneficiaries of state protection, these advocates champion the heresy condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors: “Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true” (Error #15). The panelists’ call for “broad coalitions” working “across faiths” directly implements Vatican II’s heterodox Dignitatis Humanae (1965), which perversely claims that “the human person has a right to religious freedom” (DH 2). This contradicts the infallible teaching of Pius IX that “it is necessary that the Catholic religion be held as the only religion of the State, to the exclusion of all other forms of worship” (Quanta Cura 6).
Subversion of Christ’s Social Kingship
Nowhere does the article acknowledge the regnum sociale Christi (social kingship of Christ) proclaimed in Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925): “Nations will be reminded by the annual celebration of this feast that not only private individuals but also rulers and princes are bound to give public honor and obedience to Christ.” The panel’s focus on “human dignity” divorced from sanctifying grace constitutes the modernist error condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi (1907): “The Modernists…make consciousness and experience the only foundation…even for religious consciousness” (Error #58). Their reduction of religion to personal storytelling ignores Leo XIII’s warning that states rejecting Christ’s reign “will be buffeted like a ship without a helm” (Annum Sacrum 1899).
Satanic Inversion of True Religious Freedom
The true Catholic understanding of religious freedom appears in Pius XII’s Ci Riesce (1953): “That which does not correspond to truth or to the norm of morality objectively has no right to exist, to be spread, or to be activated.” The summit’s advocacy for universal “religious liberty” constitutes apostasy against the First Commandment by promoting what Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani called “the impious and absurd principle of indifferentism” (Relatio super errores modernismi, 1966). Sekulow’s claim that “we win for everyone” when defending religious groups ignores the dogmatic truth that extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (no salvation outside the Church) defined at the Council of Florence (1442).
Omission of Supernatural Finality
The panel’s naturalistic framework omits any reference to mankind’s supernatural end: the Beatific Vision. Their advocacy centers on temporal “human rights” rather than the lex aeterna (eternal law) governing all creation. As Pius XI taught, “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace, and harmony” (Quas Primas 19). This silence on mankind’s ultimate judgment before Christ the King reveals the summit’s participation in the modernist project condemned by St. Pius X as “the synthesis of all heresies” (Pascendi 39).
Historical Roots in Masonic Subversion
The summit’s language of “tolerance,” “dialogue,” and “human dignity” mirrors Article 1 of the French Revolution’s Declaration of the Rights of Man (1789): “Men are born and remain free and equal in rights.” This Enlightenment poison was condemned by Pius VI in Charitas (1791) for promoting “this equality and liberty unrestrained by any law.” The panel’s interfaith ecumenism fulfills Masonic goals outlined at the 1917 Grand Orient Congress: “The Mason must fight against the Church until its complete destruction” (Acta Congressus Generalis, Paris). By adopting this revolutionary framework, the “religious freedom” advocates manifest what Pius IX called “the impudence of those who attack the Church while pretending to save it” (Qui Pluribus, 1846).
