Pius XI, in his encyclical Quas Primas (1925), which the conciliar sect has effectively nullified, declared with divine authority: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” The accord’s entire premise—that a nation can be “liberated” through political negotiations and institutional restructuring without first submitting to the lex Christi—is a direct repudiation of this foundational truth. It is a practical embrace of Syllabus 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 accord implicitly accepts the secular, neutral state, which is anathema.

The Sacrilegious Setting: A Profaned Shrine

The signing took place in the “Father Varela Hall of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre.” This is a profound sacrilege. The shrine, under the jurisdiction of the conciliar hierarchy in Cuba and Miami, is occupied by a paramasonic structure that has apostatized from the Faith. Its “bishop” and “clergy” are, by the principles of St. Robert Bellarmine and Canon 188.4, ipso facto deprived of all jurisdiction for manifest heresy (as seen in their public adherence to the errors of Vatican II). Therefore, the building is not a Catholic church but a synagogue of Satan. Using it as a venue for a secular political pact is a desecration, treating the House of God as a political clubhouse. It visually embodies the post-conciliar fusion of the “Church” with the world, condemned by Pius X in Pascendi Dominici gregis as the synthesis of all heresies.

Furthermore, the invocation “with faith in God” is a vague, indifferentist phrase. It deliberately avoids specifying the God of Catholic Revelation—the Most Holy Trinity—and instead appeals to a generic “founding ideals” of the Cuban nation, which are themselves rooted in Enlightenment rationalism and anti-Catholic Freemasonry. This is a classic Modernist tactic: using religious language to sanctify a purely naturalistic project, thereby deceiving the simple faithful.

The “Leadership” of Apostate Clergy

The article notes that ACI Prensa/EWTN News sought comment from the “Archdiocese of Miami, headed by Archbishop Thomas Wenski,” and received no response. Wenski is a notorious modernist “bishop” who openly embraces the errors of Vatican II, religious liberty, and ecumenism. His very title is a lie; he is not a bishop in the sense of the Catholic Church before 1958. By even addressing him as such, the article’s source (EWTN News) acknowledges the legitimacy of the conciliar usurpers, thus placing itself in formal schism. The silence of this “archdiocese” is not a neutral act; it is a damning admission that the conciliar sect has no Catholic solution for Cuba, only the same naturalistic, human-centered “options” as the exile politicians. This collaboration between political dissidents and apostate “churchmen” is a sign of the times: both serve the same modernist agenda of building a world without Christ.

The article also references the “Conference of Catholic Bishops of Cuba” warning of “social chaos.” These men are, without doubt, manifest heretics. They have publicly embraced the errors of the “New Evangelization,” which is a contradiction in terms, and the false ecumenism of Unitatis Redintegratio. Their warnings about “structural changes” are not calls for the conversion of Cuba to the Catholic Faith, but for a softer, more “humane” form of the same secular democracy promoted by the exiles. They are two sides of the same Modernist coin.

The Omission of the Only True Solution: Christ the King

The most grave theological bankruptcy of the article and the accord it describes is the total silence on the Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ. There is no mention of the necessity of Cuba being officially and constitutionally Catholic, of the suppression of all false religions, of the duty of the state to recognize the Catholic Church as the sole society perfect and to enact laws in conformity with the Ten Commandments and the moral teachings of the Church. This is not an oversight; it is a rejection of the Faith.

Pius XI in Quas Primas taught unequivocally: “It is necessary that Christ reign in the mind of man… in the will… in the heart… in the body.” He explicitly stated that this reign must extend to “states” and “rulers,” who must “publicly honor Christ and obey Him.” The article’s vision of a “democratic” Cuba where all religions are tolerated is precisely the “secularism” or “laicism” Pius XI called “the plague that poisons human society.” The accord, therefore, is not a Catholic document but an instrument of that very plague, proposing to cure communism with the same liberal, naturalistic principles that birthed it.

The article also fails to mention that any “transition” led by or in collaboration with the conciliar sect is automatically invalid. The post-1958 “Church” has entered into a “pactum turpe” with the world, as seen in its endorsement of religious freedom (Dignitatis Humanae) and its denial of the social kingship of Christ. A “Catholic” shrine hosting this event is a theatrical performance of the “new Pentecost” of Babel.

The Illusion of “Democracy” and the Role of the U.S.

The accord’s reliance on “free elections” and U.S. diplomatic engagement reveals its complete captivity to the errors of the French Revolution. The Syllabus of Errors (#63) condemns the idea that “it is lawful to refuse obedience to legitimate princes, and even to rebel against them,” but more fundamentally, it condemns the separation of Church and State (#55) and the idea that the state can be neutral in religion (#79). The accord’s goal is a pluralistic, secular democracy—the very system condemned by Leo XIII in Immortale Dei as a “multitude of sects” leading to “indifferentism.”

President Trump’s comments about a “friendly takeover” are presented as a hopeful political development. But from a Catholic perspective, a change in regime brought about by foreign pressure and internal political maneuvering, without a prior and public conversion of the nation to the Catholic Faith, is worthless. It may replace one set of tyrants with another, or install a system that is equally hostile to the rights of God. The article shows zero awareness that the only “liberation” that matters is from sin and the devil, which comes solely through the Church and the sacraments. The material suffering described (blackouts, lack of medicine) is real, but the solution proposed is purely natural, thus idolatrous—worshipping “human rights” and “democracy” as saviors instead of Christ the King.

The Fatal Error of “Dialogue” and “Negotiation”

The entire process described—talks with the regime, a “provisional government” that includes former communists, a phased transition—is a recipe for apostasy. It is the Modernist method of dialogue and encounter applied to politics. The Syllabus (#64) condemns the notion that “the violation of any solemn oath… is… lawful and worthy of the highest praise when done through love of country.” The accord essentially asks Cubans to swear allegiance to a new, secular order, which is an oath against Christ’s kingship.

True Catholic action for Cuba would begin with a solemn, public consecration of the island to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, with the explicit purpose of restoring the Catholic Faith as the sole religion of the state. It would demand the unconditional surrender of the Communist Party to the authority of the Church and the establishment of the Social Reign of Christ in all laws and institutions. Anything less is a betrayal of the Faith and a cooperation with the spirit of Antichrist, who offers “peace” without Christ.

Conclusion: An Apostate Document in a Profaned Space

The “Accord for Liberation” is a symptom of the Great Apostasy foretold by St. Pius X in Pascendi. It is a naturalistic, Masonic-inspired political program that uses the language of freedom and democracy to lead souls away from the only true liberation: “If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36). That freedom is found solely within the Catholic Church, outside of which there is no salvation.

The signing in a “Catholic” shrine is a calculated act of sacrilege designed to give this apostate project a veneer of legitimacy. It reveals the depth of the crisis: the conciliar “church” no longer even pretends to propose a Catholic social order; it actively collaborates with its enemies to build a world order based on the principles condemned by Pius IX and Pius X. True Catholics must reject this accord, denounce the conciliar “bishops” and “popes” who enable such abominations, and work solely for the restoration of the Social Reign of Christ the King over Cuba and every nation, through the authority of the true Church—the one that endures in the faithful who profess the integral Faith, led by bishops in communion with the pre-1958 Magisterium.
