Vatican Bureaucracy Exposes Apostate Church’s Internal Collapse
EWTN News reports on a survey by the “Vatican Lay Employees Association” (ADLV) alleging widespread dissatisfaction among Vatican employees. The article claims 73.9% perceive distance between “leadership” (mostly “cardinals” and “bishops”) and workers, with 56% reporting “mistreatment” and 75% complaining of favoritism. The ADLV – lacking official union status in the Vatican’s legal system – demands “officially recognized representative bodies” and “transparency” from “Pope” Leo XIV.
Naturalistic Reduction of the Church to Secular Bureaucracy
The entire premise of this complaint reduces the Church to a naturalistic corporation. Quas Primas (Pius XI, 1925) declares: “He who would take away the royal diadem from Christ would deny His divine nature”. The conciliar sect’s obsession with workplace satisfaction surveys and labor relations exposes its fundamental heresy: replacing the supernatural hierarchy established by Christ with democratic managerialism.
“73.4% of respondents said they perceive favoritism, unequal treatment, and insecurity about the protection of their rights”
This grievance reveals the naturalistic poison infecting the post-conciliar structures. The true Church operates ex divina institutione (by divine ordinance), where authority flows from Christ through sacramental ordination, not employee satisfaction metrics. The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 118) establishes clerics’ absolute governance over temporal Church affairs – a divine right mocked as “favoritism” by modernists.
Silence on Supernatural Reality as Apostasy
Not once does this “survey” mention:
- The state of grace of employees or managers
- Sacramental participation as solution to discord
- Final judgment for those abusing ecclesiastical authority
This omission constitutes formal apostasy. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors condemns proposition #56: “Moral laws do not need divine sanction” – precisely the operating principle of these Vatican bureaucrats. When Cardinal Merry del Val oversaw Vatican staff, he required daily Mass attendance and monthly confession – spiritual necessities now replaced with HR workshops.
False Shepherds Breeding Institutional Rot
The survey’s complaint that “73% reported a perceived ‘block’ in professional advancement” demonstrates how conciliar clerics have created a Protestantized career ladder. Contrast this with St. Pius X’s Vehementer Nos: “The Church is essentially an unequal society comprising two categories: pastors and flock”. True clerics don’t “advance” – they receive offices through sacra potestas (sacred power), not “transparent criteria” demanded by laicized employees.
Bergoglian Roots of the Crisis
The article notes
“Pope Francis eliminated the [wage step] benefit in 2021”
, revealing the materialist foundation of this pseudo-church. Bergoglio’s 2014 “Motta di Lavoro” statute already reduced clergy to contractual employees. Now his successor faces the inevitable fruit: a workforce unionizing against their “bosses” – a concept utterly foreign to Apostolic Constitution Immensa Aeterni Dei (1588) which established dicasteries as extensions of papal authority.
Conclusion: Ecclesiastical Capitalism’s Final Stage
When 71% prefer “dialogue with the ADLV” over the Vatican labor tribunal, we witness the death rattle of ecclesiastical authority. The conciliar sect has bred its own gravediggers: employees suing managers over pension plans in the shadow of St. Peter’s Basilica. As true Catholics recall Pius X’s warning: “The modernists place the foundation of religious philosophy in the doctrine of immanence… Thus the doctrine of the sacraments is reduced to symbolism” (Pascendi, 47) – a perfect description of this HR-ified parody of Christ’s Church.
