Cuban Bishops’ Roman Pilgrimage: Apostasy in the Guise of Piety
The EWTN News portal reports that Cuba’s “bishops” will travel to Rome from February 16-20, 2026, for an ad limina visit with “Pope” Leo XIV. The delegation, led by Arturo González Amador (“bishop” of Santa Clara), intends to present “the vicissitudes, sorrows, joys, and hopes of the Church in Cuba” to the Vatican occupiers. The visit includes meetings with “dicasteries” and a prayer at the tombs of Peter and Paul. This spectacle coincides with the conciliar sect’s role in distributing U.S. humanitarian aid in Cuba—a stark reduction of the Church’s divine mission to secular activism.
Canonical Farce of the Ad Limina Fraud
The claim that this constitutes a genuine ad limina apostolorum visit exposes the conciliar sect’s theological bankruptcy. Canon 340 of the 1917 Code mandates bishops to visit “limina Apostolorum” (thresholds of the Apostles) to profess unity with the Roman Pontiff. Yet Leo XIV holds no legitimate authority, being a manifest heretic who publicly denies the Social Kingship of Christ (Quas Primas, Pius XI), promotes false ecumenism (Mortalium Animos, Pius XI), and subordinates the Church to secular powers. St. Robert Bellarmine’s doctrine applies: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope” (De Romano Pontifice II.30). The Cuban “bishops” kneel before a usurper—an act of schismatic submission condemned by Pope Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (Prop. 18, 23, 37).
Naturalism Displacing Supernatural Faith
The COCC’s message reduces the Church’s mission to earthly “vicissitudes” and “hopes,” omitting any reference to the salvation of souls, the necessity of grace, or Cuba’s duty to recognize Christ as King. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) explicitly condemned such naturalism: “When once men recognize…that Christ has been given all power in heaven and on earth, and that men must obey Him…a just freedom…will follow.” Instead, the “bishops” parrot the conciliar sect’s humanitarian gospel—distributing U.S. aid while ignoring Cuba’s state-imposed atheism and persecution of faithful Catholics. This aligns with Modernist heresy condemned in St. Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (Prop. 22, 26), which reduces revelation to “human consciousness” and faith to “probabilities.”
Ecumenical Betrayal in Diplomatic Garb
The report highlights “dialogue” with U.S. diplomat Mike Hammer and “concern” over U.S.-Cuba tensions—a sacrilegious inversion of priorities. True shepherds would demand Cuba’s conversion to Catholicism, not broker political détente. Pope Pius IX’s Syllabus anathematizes the notion that “the Roman Pontiff can…reconcile himself with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” (Prop. 80). Yet Leo XIV’s call for “effective dialogue” surrenders the Church’s divine mandate to secular pragmatism. The prayer composed for this trip compounds the apostasy:
“Lord, assist our bishops…to accompany the daily lives of our communities…especially the weakest…those who live in despair and poverty, violence or loneliness.”
Not one petition beseeches God for Cuba’s conversion, the restoration of the Mass, or the overthrow of communist tyranny. This echoes the conciliar sect’s abandonment of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus—a dogma defined at the Council of Florence (1439) and reiterated by Pius IX (Syllabus, Prop. 16-17).
The Masonic Roots of Conciliar Collaboration
The Cuban “bishops'” collaboration with the U.S. government—distributing aid without challenging Castro’s regime—mirrors the conciliar sect’s subservience to globalist powers. Pius VIII’s 1829 encyclical Traditi Humilitati warned of Freemasons seeking to “destroy the foundation of the Catholic religion.” The “miracle of the sun” at Fátima (1917), exposed as Masonic psychological warfare in theological analyses, foreshadowed this betrayal. By reducing the Church to a NGO, the COCC fulfills the Freemasonic plan condemned in Leo XIII’s Humanum Genus: replacing Christ’s reign with a “universal republic” of indifferentism.
Conclusion: A Hierarchy in Revolt Against Christ the King
This Roman pilgrimage exemplifies the conciliar sect’s apostasy. True Catholic shepherds would emulate St. Peter Canisius, who confronted Protestant princes with doctrinal clarity, or Bl. Miguel Pro, martyred by Mexican Freemasons for refusing compromise. Instead, Cuba’s puppet “bishops” crawl to the Vatican occupiers—spiritual heirs not of the Apostles, but of Judas. As Pius XI declared: “The Church cannot submit to state intrusion in spiritual matters” (Quas Primas). Until Cuba’s hierarchy demands public submission to Christ the King, their Roman pageantry remains a blasphemous pantomime.
