Ecumenical Apostasy Masquerading as “Jubilee”
The EWTN News portal (February 11, 2026) promotes the conciliar sect’s planned “Jubilee of Redemption” in 2033, framing it as a historic opportunity for “full and visible unity of Christians” through collaboration with Orthodox schismatics and Protestant heretics. The article laments the Moscow-Constantinople schism as an obstacle to this false unity while quoting “Fr.” Frans Bouwen—a missionary of the modernist “Society of Missionaries of Africa”—who advocates for shared sacraments and synodal preparation with non-Catholic sects. The report culminates in praising Paul VI’s 1964 meeting with Patriarch Athenagoras as an “icon” of ecumenism, ignoring its betrayal of Catholic exclusivity.
The Heresy of Ecumenical Syncretism
“Full and visible unity of Christians”—as proclaimed by the conciliar sect—constitutes a direct assault on the extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (no salvation outside the Church) dogma defined at the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) and reaffirmed by Pope Pius IX in Quanto conficiamur moerore (1863). The article’s lament over the absence of Russian Orthodox participants exposes the conciliar sect’s obsession with institutional unity over doctrinal fidelity.
Father Frans Bouwen… explained the complexity of the situation: “Moscow currently refuses to participate in ecumenical meetings where Constantinople is present…”
This framing ignores the immutable truth that both Orthodox patriarchates are schismatic bodies severed from Christ’s Mystical Body. The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 1258) explicitly forbade Catholics from participating in non-Catholic worship, yet the article treats inter-sect collaboration as virtuous. The Council of Florence’s decree Laetentur Caeli (1439) condemned Greek Orthodox errors, yet the conciliar sect now seeks communion with those perpetuating the same heresies.
Naturalistic Reduction of the Redemption
The term “Jubilee of Redemption” grotesquely reduces Christ’s atoning sacrifice to a geopolitical spectacle. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) established Christ’s Kingship over all nations, demanding their submission to His reign—not interfaith pageantry. The article’s focus on “shared pilgrimage” and “joint journey” echoes the modernist heresy condemned in St. Pius X’s Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907), which exposed the error of viewing dogma as evolving through human experience.
Bouwen… insisted that the jubilee can only bear fruit if it is lived as a genuine ecumenical process.
This statement inverts the Church’s mission: Rather than calling heretics to conversion, it suggests the Catholic Faith must be diluted into a “process” acceptable to schismatics. The Holy Office’s decree Lamentabili Sane (1907) condemned the proposition that “Christian doctrine was initially Jewish… then Pauline… finally Greek and universal” (Proposition 60)—precisely the evolutionary model now embraced by the conciliar sect.
Illegitimate Actors Usurping Divine Authority
The article repeatedly references “Pope Leo XIV”—the antipope occupying the Vatican since 2024—whose ecumenical gestures lack any sacramental validity. True popes do not seek “shared participation in certain sacraments” with heretics, as Bouwen suggests. Pius VI’s Auctorem Fidei (1794) anathematized those who promote intercommunion with non-Catholics.
Likewise, “Cardinal Kurt Koch” exemplifies the conciliar hierarchy’s apostasy by claiming “[i]t is essential that contacts be established between the churches as soon as possible.” The Syllabus of Errors (1864) condemned the notion that “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Proposition 18). Yet Koch—head of the pseudo-Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity—treats Orthodox schismatics as legitimate “churches” rather than souls in need of salvation.
Omission of Supernatural Realities
Nowhere does the article mention:
1. The necessity of submission to the Roman Pontiff for salvation (Unam Sanctam, 1302)
2. The eternal damnation awaiting those dying outside the Church (Council of Florence, Cantate Domino)
3. The blasphemy of Orthodox denial of papal primacy and Filioque
Instead, it reduces the Faith to a geopolitical negotiation:
The conflict has intensified, in part, due to Kirill’s support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine…
This naturalistic analysis ignores the spiritual warfare underlying the schism—namely, Russia’s centuries-old rejection of Catholic truth prophesied in Our Lady of Fatima’s authentic message (which the conciliar sect suppresses). The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 1325) mandated the conversion of Orthodox Christians, yet the conciliar sect now treats their errors as legitimate “traditions.”
Conclusion: Apostasy Institutionalized
The 2033 “Jubilee” epitomizes the conciliar sect’s final betrayal—transforming the Redemption into a pluralistic carnival. As “Fr.” Bouwen praises Paul VI’s 1964 embrace of Patriarch Athenagoras, he celebrates the beginning of the Great Apostasy foretold in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4. True Catholics recognize only one path to unity: Roma locuta est, causa finita est (Rome has spoken, the case is closed). The counterfeit church’s ecumenical theater merits not participation, but damnatio memoriae.
