UK Ban on Catholic Convert Exposes Modernist Betrayal of Faith
The EWTN News portal (January 16, 2026) reports on Dutch activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek’s ban from entering the U.K., alongside updates from Sydney, Lebanon, Egypt, and Sri Lanka. While presenting these events as neutral news, the article epitomizes the conciliar sect’s surrender to secular tyranny and its abandonment of sana doctrina (sound doctrine). The report’s silence on the supernatural mission of the Church—and its complicit framing of religious persecution—reveals the rot of post-conciliar compromise.
The Hollow “Conversion” of a Political Activist
The article describes Vlaardingerbroek’s 2023 reception into “the Catholic Church” under the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, a structure erected by the usurper Benedict XVI. This “conversion” occurred through the ministry of “Father” Benedict Kiely, whose ordination under the Novus Ordo rites renders his sacramental acts suspect at best. Quo Primum (1570) irrevocably declares that any rite not approved by the Church’s immemorial Tradition lacks legitimacy. Thus, Vlaardingerbroek’s initiation into a sect that promotes religious liberty (contrary to Quanta Cura §3) and ecumenism (condemned in Mortalium Animos) is no true conversion.
The U.K. government’s claim that her presence is “not conducive to the public good” echoes the Masonic lie that Christ’s Kingship may be excluded from public life—a heresy Pius XI condemned in Quas Primas: “When once men recognize… that Christ has been given all power in heaven and on earth… it will be a pleasure for them to honor the Church as ordained by God.” Vlaardingerbroek’s criticism of Prime Minister Starmer for permitting migrant rape gangs aligns with natural law, yet the article omits the deeper crisis: Britain’s apostasy from its Catholic roots, exemplified by Henry VIII’s schism and sustained by conciliar “dialogue.”
Sydney’s Cowardly “Civil Discourse”
The Sydney “Archdiocese” opposes hate speech laws with the vacuous slogan: “Our first response to bad speech should be better speech.” This naturalistic stance ignores the Church’s duty to condemn error, as codified in the Syllabus of Errors (1864): “The Church has the right to employ force” (Proposition 24). By reducing truth to polite debate, the “archdiocese” betrays St. Pius X’s warning in Pascendi that Modernists reduce faith to “vital immanence,” severing it from objective revelation.
When Palestinian terrorists chant “globalize the intifada”—a call for Jewish genocide—the Church’s response must be anathema sit, not pedagogical platitudes. The article’s emphasis on “pluralistic character” in Jerusalem’s Christian schools whitewashes the Islamization of Christ’s homeland, where Catholics once ruled under Godfrey de Bouillon.
Maronites Beg for Secular Safeguards
Lebanon’s Maronite League warns of land purchases eroding Christian presence but pleads for “legal safeguards” from a state infiltrated by Hezbollah. This pathetic appeal to corrupt civil authority mocks the Dictatus Papae (1075), which asserts that “the Roman Church alone may use imperial insignia” and that “the pope may depose emperors.” Where is the call for Lebanon’s restoration as a Catholic confessional state, as mandated by Boniface VIII’s Unam Sanctam (1302)? The League’s support for President Joseph Aoun—a puppet of Iran-backed militias—proves the Maronite hierarchy’s capitulation to the “enemies within” foretold by St. Pius X.
Bishop Chami’s Toothless “Spirituality”
Melkite “Bishop” Jean-Marie Chami urges “fasting and prayer” for Middle East peace but neglects to demand the expulsion of Islamist militias or the abolition of blasphemy laws. His 40-day “spiritual commitment” mirrors the empty pietism of the Charismatic Renewal—a movement Pius XII warned against as a counterfeit of true mysticism. Where is the call for public consecration of nations to Christ the King? Where is the denunciation of the Novus Ordo’s destruction of Eucharistic reverence?
Egypt’s Schismatic “Equality” Debate
Coptic Catholic “Bishop” Ibrahim Ishaq protests Egypt’s holiday policy favoring Orthodox Christians but accepts the regime’s premise that Catholicism is one sect among many. This contradicts Pius IX’s Quanto Confecimus Moerore (1863), which declares non-Catholics “outside the Church, where there is no salvation.” The true scandal is not unequal holidays but Egypt’s persecution of Catholics under Islamic apostasy laws—a reality the article ignores.
Conclusion: The Silence of the Lambs
From Sri Lanka’s cyclone relief to Jerusalem’s shuttered schools, the report reduces the Church to a NGO dispensing “hope” through “material assistance.” Nowhere does it mention the Mass, the sacraments, or the Social Reign of Christ the King. This omission exposes the conciliar sect’s essence: a humanist club that worships “dialogue” while Satan devours Christ’s flock. As St. Pius X thundered in Notre Charge Apostolique (1910), “The true friends of the people are neither revolutionaries nor innovators: they are traditionalists.”
