Vatican Official Parolin Denounces Lawful Immigration Enforcement
EWTN News reports that “Cardinal” Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State for the Vatican structures, condemned U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minneapolis as “unacceptable” on January 28, 2026. Parolin aligned himself with statements from “Archbishop” Paul Coakley and “Cardinal” Joseph Tobin, who called for defunding ICE. The article frames ICE’s lawful enforcement actions—which resulted in 3,000 arrests of immigration violators—as inherently violent, omitting any theological defense of the state’s duty to uphold just laws.
Subversion of Divine Law in Favor of Anarchic Humanism
The conciliar sect’s officials betray their hatred for civil authority when Parolin declares “difficulties, problems, and contradictions are resolved in a different way” than through lawful enforcement. This vague appeal to “another way” deliberately undermines Romans 13:1-4, which commands obedience to governing authorities as “God’s servants for your good” who “do not bear the sword in vain.” Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors condemns precisely this error: “The Church has not the power of using force, nor has she any temporal power, direct or indirect” (Proposition 24). By demanding ICE cease its God-given function, Parolin rejects the regnum sociale Christi—Christ’s social kingship over nations—replaced with a Gnostic vision where borderless humanitarianism supplants divine order.
Silence on Sacrilege, Outrage Over Lawful Force
While Parolin theatrically decries two deaths during ICE operations, neither he nor the quoted “bishops” mention the 1.2 million annual abortions in the U.S.—a genocide demanding immediate and uncompromising condemnation. This selective outrage exposes the modernist fixation on temporal “social justice” while ignoring eternal souls. Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925) rebukes such hypocrisy: “When God and Jesus Christ […] were removed from laws and states […] the foundations of that authority were destroyed” (§32). The article’s portrayal of ICE as villainous contradicts the Church’s perennial teaching that immigration must serve the common good, not erase national sovereignty (Leo XIII, Rerum Novarum, §51).
“Authentic respect for life also extends to refugees and migrants,” stated “Archbishop” Paul Etienne.
This equivocation—equating lawful deportation with murder—epitomizes the conciliar sect’s moral relativism. Nowhere does Etienne distinguish between just enforcement against criminals and unjust persecution of innocents. The Catholic Encyclopedia (1910) clarifies: “The State has the right to exclude […] aliens whose presence would be detrimental to public welfare” (“Immigration”). Parolin’s call to “avoid any type of violence” absurdly implies governments must tolerate lawbreaking—a doctrine condemned by St. Augustine: “Remove justice, and what are kingdoms but gangs of criminals on a large scale?” (City of God, IV.4).
Naturalism Masquerading as Pastoral Care
The article’s language—”praying for calm,” “respect for human life”—reduces Catholicism to a social-work NGO. Missing is any mention of sacraments, repentance, or the Four Last Things. Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (1907) anathematizes this reduction: “The Church is an enemy of […] theological sciences” (Proposition 57). When “Cardinal” Tobin demands ICE’s defunding, he channels the anarchic spirit of Vatican II’s Gaudium et Spes, which sacralized human dignity divorced from obedience to Christ the King. True shepherds would exhort migrants to regularize their status lawfully while condemning the U.S. regime’s abortion tyranny—but the conciliar “bishops” remain mute, proving their apostasy.
Conclusion: Apostate Structures Side With Chaos
Parolin’s denunciation of ICE—a lawful authority—confirms the Vatican occupiers’ allegiance to the “mystery of iniquity” (2 Thess. 2:7). Their refusal to uphold Romans 13 or distinguish just laws from anarchy fulfills Pius IX’s warning: “The Roman Pontiff can […] reconcile himself with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” is an error (Syllabus, Proposition 80). Until true Catholic authority is restored, such statements will escalate—dragging souls into the abyss of relativism. Let the faithful recall: Unus Dominus, una fides—”One Lord, one faith” (Eph. 4:5)—not the U.N.’s bankrupt humanitarianism.
