The Apostasy of Naturalistic Dialogue
The cited article from Vatican News reports on the 120th Plenary Assembly of the Colombian Bishops’ Conference, where modernist clerics occupying the dioceses of Colombia issued a call for “conversion, dialogue, and responsible participation in democratic life,” urging “builders of peace and witnesses of hope” while entrusting the nation to Our Lady of the Rosary of Chiquinquirá. The final sentence of the summary declares: “The bishops concluded their 120th Plenary Assembly with a call to the country for conversion and dialogue.” This statement, devoid of any reference to the Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ, constitutes a complete betrayal of Catholic doctrine and a surrender to the secularist errors condemned by the Syllabus of Errors and the encyclical Quas Primas. The thesis is clear: the modernists occupying ecclesial offices in Colombia promote a naturalistic, human-centered “peace” that is antithetical to the only true peace found in the reign of Christ the King.
1. Theological Bankruptcy: Omission of Christ’s Kingship
The article’s central theme is “reconciliation, justice, and peace,” yet it is conspicuously silent on the absolute necessity of the public and social reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ. This omission is not accidental but theological, reflecting the modernist hermeneutic that reduces the Church’s mission to naturalistic humanism. Pope Pius XI, in Quas Primas, defined the very purpose of instituting the feast of Christ the King as a remedy against the plague of secularism:
“This plague is the secularism of our times, so-called laicism, its errors and wicked endeavors… the Christian religion began to be equated with other false religions… then it was subordinated to secular power… there was no lack of states that thought they could do without God.”
The Colombian bishops’ appeal for “dialogue” and “reconciliation” within a secular democratic framework is precisely the “secularism” Pius XI condemned. They call for “building bridges across differences” and “promoting encounter, listening, and mutual recognition,” which are the empty slogans of Freemasonic “dialogue” that, as the file on the False Fatima Apparitions exposes, serves to “legitimize dialogue with schismatic Orthodoxy” and promote religious indifferentism. Their language mirrors the modernist errors listed in the Syllabus of Errors:
- Error #77: “In the present day it is no longer expedient that the Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of the State, to the exclusion of all other forms of worship.” The bishops’ call for “reconciliation” without demanding the exclusive reign of Christ implicitly endorses this indifferentism.
- Error #78: “Hence it has been wisely decided by law, in some Catholic countries, that persons coming to reside therein shall enjoy the public exercise of their own peculiar worship.” By not condemning Colombia’s pluralistic state structure that “guarantees” religious freedom, the bishops assent to this condemned proposition.
True peace, according to Catholic doctrine, is only possible within the kingdom of Christ. Pius XI explicitly states:
“Therefore, if men were ever to recognize Christ’s royal authority over themselves, both privately and publicly, then unheard-of blessings would flow upon the whole society, such as due freedom, order, and tranquility, and concord and peace.”
The bishops’ “peace” is a counterfeit, a naturalistic pacifism that seeks harmony among men while ignoring the primacy of God’s law. This is the spirit of Modernism, which St. Pius X condemned in Lamentabili sane exitu as a “synthesis of all errors.” Proposition #63 of the Syllabus declares: “It is lawful to refuse obedience to legitimate princes, and even to rebel against them.” The bishops’ call for “responsible participation in democratic life” and voting “without corruption” assumes the legitimacy of a secular order that, according to Catholic doctrine, must be subordinate to Christ the King. They urge citizens to engage in a system that the Church has always taught is fundamentally disordered when not ordered to the supernatural end of man.
2. Linguistic and Symptomatic Analysis: The Language of Apostasy
The vocabulary employed is symptomatic of the conciliar revolution’s apostasy:
- “Dialogue”: A post-conciliar shibboleth that replaces the Catholic duty to convert nations to the one true faith. It implies equality between truth and error, contrary to the Syllabus (Error #16: “Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation”).
- “Reconciliation”: Used in an abstract, psychological sense, detached from the sacramental reality of confession and the necessity of reconciling society to God through the Social Kingship of Christ. It is a purely horizontal, humanistic concept.
- “Builders of peace”: Echoes the secular humanism of the United Nations, not the Catholic doctrine that peace is a fruit of justice, which is a virtue inclining man to give God his due (Quas Primas: “the common good and the human dignity of their subordinates” is only possible when rulers act “in the place of the Divine King”).
- “Full freedom and conscience”: A direct echo of the modernist errors of religious liberty condemned in the Syllabus (Errors #15, #16, #77). Catholic conscience must be formed in submission to the teaching authority of the Church, not in abstract “freedom” from corruption.
The tone is bureaucratic, pastoral, and vague—characteristic of the post-conciliar “pastoral” approach that prioritizes psychological comfort over doctrinal clarity. There is no mention of sin, judgment, hell, the necessity of baptism, the immorality of false religions, or the duty of the state to recognize the Catholic religion as the sole true faith. This silence on supernatural matters is the gravest accusation, proving these men are not Catholic pastors but apostate functionaries of the “abomination of desolation.”
3. Political Apostasy: Condemnation of Secular Democracy
The bishops urge participation in “upcoming elections—parliamentary elections in March and presidential elections in May.” This is a direct endorsement of the secular, liberal democratic order condemned by the Syllabus of Errors:
- Error #39: “The State, as being the origin and source of all rights, is endowed with a certain right not circumscribed by any limits.” Modern democracy rests on this false premise.
- Error #55: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church.” This is the constitutional principle of Colombia and every modern state.
- Error #77 (reiterated): The state’s “neutrality” in religion is a formal denial of Christ’s kingship.
Pius XI in Quas Primas directly refutes this:
“The state must leave the same freedom to the members of Orders and Congregations… it cannot depend on anyone’s will… the state is happy not by one means, and man by another; for the state is nothing else than a harmonious association of men.”
The modern state, by claiming sovereignty independent of God, is inherently rebellious. To urge Catholics to participate in such a system without demanding its subordination to Christ is to cooperate in evil. The bishops’ statement that citizens should vote “in full freedom and conscience” ignores that a Catholic conscience, formed by pre-conciliar doctrine, must reject the legitimacy of a state that does not recognize the Social Reign of Christ. Their appeal to the “European Union Election Observation Mission” is the ultimate symbol of subservience to the anti-Christian globalist order.
4. Pastoral Failure: Betrayal of the Vulnerable
The article mentions the bishops’ “closeness to the most vulnerable” and the “Christian Communication of Goods Campaign.” While charitable works are good, they become superstitious and idolatrous when separated from the primary duty of converting souls and societies to Christ. The bishops reduce the Church’s mission to a social welfare agency, echoing the naturalistic humanitarianism of Modernism. St. Pius X, in Pascendi Dominici gregis (referenced in Lamentabili), condemned the Modernist who “regards the Church as a human institution which can be perfected by human means.”
Their “commitment to continue walking alongside the people in the search for reconciliation, justice, and peace” is a phraseology of the “church of the people” (Bergoglio’s “synodal” church), not the Catholic Church. It is a horizontal, horizontal “accompaniment” that ignores the vertical duty to call sinners to repentance and nations to submit to the Vicar of Christ—but there is no legitimate Vicar since the death of Pope Pius XII, as the Defense of Sedevacantism file proves through Bellarmine and Canon 188.4. The current occupant of the Vatican is “Pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), a manifest heretic and antipope, whose “election” was null according to Cum ex Apostolatus Officio.
5. The Fundamental Error: Rejection of the Social Kingship
The entire document is a systematic rejection of the doctrine defined by Pius XI in Quas Primas. The feast of Christ the King was instituted precisely to counter the errors the Colombian bishops now promote:
“We have announced this solemnity for Sunday so that not only the clergy… may give honor to the heavenly King, but also that the people… may beautifully testify with joyful hearts that they are obedient and subject to Christ.”
The bishops do the opposite: they call for “dialogue” and “reconciliation” while omitting any call for public obedience to Christ’s law. They speak of “human rights” and “democracy” but not of the rights of God. They urge “respect for human rights” (a concept born of the French Revolution, condemned by the Syllabus) but not the rights of God to be publicly honored as King. This is the essence of the modernist apostasy: the substitution of the supernatural order with a naturalistic, philanthropic religion.
Conclusion: A Call to Apostasy
The 120th Plenary Assembly of the Colombian Bishops’ Conference is an act of apostasy. It promotes:
- Religious Indifferentism by calling for “dialogue” without the demand for the conversion of Colombia to the one true faith.
- Secularist Democracy by urging participation in elections under a constitution that separates Church and State, contrary to the Syllabus and Quas Primas.
- Naturalistic Humanism by reducing the Church’s mission to social work and “peacebuilding” while ignoring the necessity of grace, the sacraments, and the Social Kingship of Christ.
- Schism and Apostasy by recognizing the authority of the conciliar antipope (Leo XIV) and his “magisterium,” which is the “synthesis of all heresies” (St. Pius X).
True peace and reconciliation for Colombia can only come through the public enthronement of Our Lord Jesus Christ as King, as demanded by Quas Primas and the entire pre-1958 Magisterium. The bishops, having embraced the errors of Vatican II, are “blind leaders of the blind” (Matt. 15:14). The faithful must reject this apostate appeal, cling to the immutable Faith of their fathers, and work for the restoration of the Social Kingship of Christ through the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary—the same Heart that, according to the true message of Fatima (which the file exposes as a Masonic operation, but its substance of consecration and reparation is valid), will triumph in the end. But that triumph will not come through modernist “dialogue” but through the destruction of the “abomination of desolation” standing in the holy place.
The only path is the integral Catholic faith before 1958, rejection of the conciliar sect, and adherence to the true papacy ( sede vacante since 1958).
