The VaticanNews portal reports that Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State of the post-conciliar Vatican structure, stated on February 17, 2026, that the Holy See will not participate in a proposed “Board of Peace” because of its “particular nature, which is evidently not that of other States.” He expressed “perplexity” and “critical points” regarding the initiative, insisting that such crisis management should be handled by the UN. Regarding the Ukraine war, Parolin voiced “considerable pessimism,” noting a lack of “real advances” and “not much hope.” He also thanked the Italian government for attention to “issues close to the Church’s heart” like family, education, and prisons. This diplomatic posture, devoid of any supernatural foundation, epitomizes the apostasy of the conciliar sect: a naturalistic, bureaucratic engagement with the world that explicitly rejects the Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ and silences the only true source of peace.
The Naturalistic Foundation of Conciliar Diplomacy
The article reveals a fundamental shift from Catholic doctrine to modernistic naturalism. Cardinal Parolin frames the Holy See’s role in purely geopolitical and legalistic terms, evaluating a peace initiative based on whether its “nature” aligns with that of “other States.” This is a stark denial of the doctrine so clearly defined by Pope Pius XI in his encyclical Quas Primas. The Pope taught that the Kingdom of Christ “encompasses all men” and that “individuals, families, and states” are subject to His authority. The state’s duty is to publicly honor Christ and obey Him, for “all power in heaven and on earth is given to Christ the Lord.” The Vatican’s refusal to participate because it is “not that of other States” is a direct repudiation of this. It accepts the secularist premise of the Syllabus of Errors, condemned by Pope Pius IX: that the Church should be separated from the State (Error 55) and that the civil power has authority over religious affairs (Errors 41, 44). The conciliar structure now operates *as if* it were merely one more non-governmental organization (NGO) among many, its “particular nature” being that of a spiritual entity without temporal rights—a capitulation to the very secularism the Syllabus anathematized.
Silence on the Only Basis for True Peace
Parolin’s comments on Ukraine are a study in godless pessimism. He laments the lack of progress and expresses little hope, placing his trust in human “dialogues.” The Syllabus of Errors condemns the notion that “the civil power may interfere in matters relating to religion, morality and spiritual government” (Error 44) and that “the science of philosophical things and morals… may and ought to keep aloof from divine and ecclesiastical authority” (Error 57). Yet here, the Vatican’s chief diplomat discusses a war of catastrophic proportions without a single reference to sin, justice, the moral law, the need for conversion, or the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This silence is damning. Pope Pius XI in Quas Primas directly linked the “plague” of secularism to the destruction of peace: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the entire human society had to be shaken.” The only path to “unheard-of blessings… due freedom, order, and tranquility, and concord and peace” is when “all men… allowed themselves to be governed by Christ.” The conciliar Vatican has abandoned this teaching. Its peace efforts are rooted in the “natural religion” and “natural inner impulse” condemned in the Syllabus (Error 16), effectively placing its hope in the “prince of this world” rather than the Prince of Peace.
The “Critical Points” of a Heretic System
Parolin mentions “critical points” that need explanation, yet the deepest critical point is the entire system he represents. The post-conciliar “Holy See” is not the Catholic Church. It is a paramasonic structure that has embraced the errors of Modernism, which St. Pius X condemned in Pascendi Dominici gregis and Lamentabili sane exitu. Modernism, as the “synthesis of all heresies,” denies the supernatural, reduces faith to a subjective religious sentiment, and promotes the evolution of dogma. This is precisely the mentality behind the Vatican’s approach: a religion of “dialogue” and “humanitarian concern” that has jettisoned the exclusive, absolute claims of the Catholic Church. The “Board of Peace” is rejected not because it is insufficiently Catholic, but because it doesn’t fit a state-like model—a bureaucratic, not a doctrinal, objection. This is the logical outcome of the “hermeneutics of continuity” fraud, which pretends the Council was a development while it was in fact a revolution. The “perplexity” is not about doctrine but about diplomatic protocol, exposing a complete bankruptcy of supernatural faith.
Gratitude for Naturalistic “Social” Policies
The expression of thanks to the Italian government for its attention to “issues close to the Church’s heart”—family, education, prisons—is particularly grotesque. These are issues the Church has always addressed, but always *through the lens of the supernatural destiny of man*. The modern Italian state, like all post-conciliar states, operates on the principles of secular liberalism. Its “measures and provisions” are based on natural law at best, often on Masonic-derived human rights ideology. The Syllabus condemned the idea that “the civil power may… pass judgment on the instructions issued for the guidance of consciences” (Error 44) and that “the best theory of civil society requires that popular schools… should be freed from all ecclesiastical authority” (Error 47). Yet the Vatican thanks a state for engaging in these very areas, implying a shared, naturalistic vision of the “common good” that excludes the explicit social reign of Christ. This is the “cult of man” denounced by Pope Pius XII, where human welfare becomes the ultimate end, replacing the salvation of souls and the honor due to God alone.
The Symptomatic Omission: Christ the King
The most glaring symptom of apostasy in the entire article is the total absence of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Parolin speaks of the “Holy See,” “peace,” “dialogues,” “issues,” and “governments.” There is no mention of the Sacred Heart, the Immaculate Heart, the Mystical Body, the Redemption, the Sacraments, Grace, or the final judgment. This is the hallmark of the “Church of the New Advent”: a human institution managing worldly affairs while having “removed Jesus Christ and His most holy law from… public life,” exactly as Pius XI described in Quas Primas. The feast of Christ the King was instituted precisely to combat this. Pius XI stated it would “remind states that not only private individuals, but also rulers and governments have the duty to publicly honor Christ and obey Him.” The conciliar Vatican does the opposite: it reduces the Church to a diplomatic player that must “fit in” with the international system, a system built on the very errors condemned in the Syllabus. Its “peace” is the false peace of the Antichrist, which St. Pius X warned would come before the end, a peace that rejects the true reign of Christ.
Conclusion: The Bankruptcy of Conciliar “Peace”
Cardinal Parolin’s statements are not an anomaly; they are the logical fruit of the apostate conciliar revolution. The Vatican’s refusal to join a “Board of Peace” on technical grounds, its worldly pessimism about Ukraine, and its gratitude for secular social policies all flow from a single, damning source: the rejection of the Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the “diversion from apostasy” the Fatima file correctly identifies—focusing on external threats while ignoring the modernist cancer within. The only peace is the peace of Christ’s reign, which requires the explicit submission of all nations to His law. The conciliar sect has abandoned this. Its diplomacy is a charade, a last gasp of a dying humanism that will soon give way to the final persecution foretold by Our Lord. The faithful must have “no part in her plagues” (Apoc. 18:4) and must cling to the immutable Faith, outside of which there is no salvation, no peace, and no hope.
