The VaticanNews portal reports on Tropical Cyclone Gezani’s devastation in Madagascar, detailing death tolls, displacement, and infrastructure damage. It notes appeals for aid from the Bishops’ Conference of Madagascar and a statement of closeness from “Pope Leo XIV” during the Angelus. The article frames the response in terms of humanitarian “solidarity,” “preparedness,” and “coordinated response,” while noting the recurring threat of tropical seasons in Southeast Africa.
This reporting epitomizes the post-conciliar church’s catastrophic shift from supernatural Catholic doctrine to naturalistic humanism. The article’s entire framework is devoid of the Catholic mind, revealing a bankrupt “church” that has exchanged the Kingship of Christ for the dictates of modern sociology and emergency management.
The Omission of the Supernatural: A Denial of Christ’s Dominion
The article meticulously documents material suffering but remains utterly silent on the spiritual dimension of disaster. There is no call for public prayer, penance, or processions to appease the wrath of a just God. There is no mention of the sacraments—Confession, Holy Mass—as the true refuge and source of hope. This silence is not neutrality; it is a positive denial of the Catholic faith. As Pope Pius XI taught in Quas Primas, the Kingdom of Christ encompasses all human life, and its absence from public affairs leads to societal ruin: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation.” The conciliar officials in Madagascar and Rome operate as if this doctrine no longer exists. Their appeal is for “solidarity” (a secular virtue) and not for conversion to Christ the King, whose dominion over nature is absolute. The article’s tone assumes disasters are merely natural phenomena to be managed, not potential chastisements for collective sin, a concept utterly foreign to the Modernist mindset condemned by St. Pius X in Lamentabili (Propositions 56-58 on naturalistic ethics).
The Illegitimate “Papal” Intervention: A Usurper’s Empty Words
The reference to “Pope Leo XIV” expressing “closeness” is a sacrilegious farce. The man Robert Prevost is an antipope, a member of the conciliar sect that has systematically dismantled Catholic doctrine since John XXIII. His words are those of a humanitarian NGO director, not the Vicar of Christ. A true pope, following the unchangeable Magisterium, would have exhorted the faithful to pray the Rosary, make the Way of the Cross, and implore the mercy of God through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. He would have reminded the world that all authority in heaven and on earth belongs to Christ (Matt. 28:18), and that natural disasters are permitted by divine providence as a call to repentance. Instead, we get the vague, pantheistic language of “closeness,” a term emptied of Catholic content and resonant of the “god of love” without justice that Modernists preach. This is the synthesis of all errors: a “papacy” that speaks the language of the world, not the Church.
The Bishops’ Appeal: A Reflection of the Conciliar Sect’s Apostasy
The appeal from the Bishops’ Conference of Madagascar is a perfect specimen of post-conciliar ecclesial emptiness. It calls for “assistance” and “aid” coordinated through diocesan structures, but it does not call for:
* The public recitation of the Litany of the Saints or the Liturgy of the Hours for the victims.
* The offering of the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in reparation for sins.
* The propagation of the Brown Scapular or the Rosary as specific devotions against calamity.
* A condemnation of the sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance (sod
