EWTN News reports that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio held discussions with “Cardinal” Pietro Parolin regarding Venezuela’s humanitarian crisis. The January 6 conversation allegedly addressed “efforts to improve the humanitarian situation” and global “promotion of peace and religious freedom,” with both parties reaffirming commitment to “deepening cooperation” between the United States and Vatican structures. The article notes that antipope Leo XIV previously expressed “concern” about Venezuela during his January 4 Angelus, insisting that “the good of the beloved Venezuelan people must prevail above any other consideration” following the U.S. military capture of Nicolás Maduro.
Diplomatic Theater Masks Spiritual Bankruptcy
The reported discussion constitutes theological scandal on multiple levels. Parolin, as secretary of state for the conciliar sect, presumes to exercise authority he does not possess, since the structures occupying Vatican palaces lost all jurisdictional power through public defection from Catholic faith (Canon 188.4). St. Robert Bellarmine’s teaching that haereticus manifestus ipso facto desinit esse Papa (“a manifest heretic ceases by that fact to be Pope,” De Romano Pontifice II.30) extends to all officials propagating conciliar errors. When Parolin engages in diplomatic negotiations, he does so as a private heretic, not as any legitimate representative of Christ’s Church.
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Mission
The exclusive focus on “humanitarian situation” exposes the conciliar sect’s reductio ad naturalismum. Pius XI condemned such horizontalism in Quas Primas (1925), stating: “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.” Instead, these modernist functionaries reduce the Church’s mission to social work, omitting any reference to Venezuela’s spiritual devastation under Marxist tyranny – the loss of sacramental life, persecution of faithful priests, and souls damned through state-enforced atheism.
Religious Liberty Heresy Codified
The promotion of “religious freedom globally” constitutes formal heresy against Catholic dogma. Pope Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors explicitly condemned the notion that “every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true” (Proposition 15). Leo XIII’s Immortale Dei (1885) reiterated: “States are bound to profess the true religion,” yet here we witness Vatican officials collaborating with secular powers to advance the very errors condemned by the Magisterium. This confirms Pius X’s warning in Pascendi that modernists would reduce religion to “vital immanence” divorced from objective truth.
Antipope’s Sovereignty Claims Contradict Social Kingship
Antipope Leo XIV’s appeal for “full respect for Venezuela’s national sovereignty” following Maduro’s capture demonstrates the conciliar sect’s inversion of Catholic social doctrine. The Syllabus condemned the notion that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Proposition 55), yet this antipope tacitly endorses Marxist tyranny by prioritizing earthly sovereignty over divine law. St. Augustine’s City of God (XIX.21) establishes that true peace comes only when rulers submit to Christ’s reign – a doctrine obliterated by this false “pope’s” secularist framework.
Omission of Justice Reveals Apostate Priorities
Notably absent from both the diplomatic discussion and antipapal comments is any demand for justice regarding Maduro’s crimes against Venezuelan Catholics. While the article mentions a U.S. indictment accusing Maduro of “years of cocaine-fueled corruption,” Vatican officials remain silent about his regime’s documented persecution of the Church: suppression of traditional liturgies, imprisonment of faithful priests, and confiscation of Church properties. This willful blindness to anti-Catholic persecution exposes the conciliar sect’s complicity with revolutionary forces, fulfilling Pius X’s warning in Pascendi about modernists forming “alliance with revolution.”
Ecumenical Betrayal in Diplomatic Clothing
The supposed “shared priorities” between U.S. secularists and Vatican modernists constitute a pactum sceleris (criminal compact) against Catholic truth. Pius XI’s Mortalium Animos (1928) forbade collaboration with non-Catholics in religious matters, yet here we witness the conciliar sect’s diplomatic corps advancing globalist agendas under the guise of humanitarianism. When Parolin and Rubio discuss “peace promotion,” they invoke not the Pax Christi but the UN’s godless sustainable development goals – a perfect realization of the Masonic plan to replace Christ’s social reign with “universal brotherhood” devoid of divine law.
