Benedictine “Monks” Celebrate Interfaith Fraternity Amid War, Silence Christ the King

The article from Vatican News reports on the German-speaking Benedictine Abbey of the Dormition in Jerusalem during the 2026 U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran. Abbot Nikodemus Schnabel describes how the community, caught in rocket attacks, transformed an air-raid shelter into a place of multi-lingual prayer and “fraternity,” including prayers for “perpetrators.” The monks emphasize interreligious dialogue with Islamic theology students, lament the suffering of migrant workers, and express alienation from those who “cheer” war. The abbey was later ordered closed by police. The piece frames the monks’ response as a humanitarian, interfaith witness, omitting any reference to the Social Kingship of Christ, the duty of Catholic rulers, or the supernatural purpose of suffering. It presents a naturalistic, ecumenical model of “Church” as a neutral humanitarian agency, utterly divorced from the Catholic doctrine of the *Societas Perfecta* and the imperative to preach the Faith to non-Catholics.

UISG’s Peace Prayer: Naturalism Masquerading as Catholicism

The article from VaticanNews reports that the International Union of Superiors General (UISG), representing post-conciliar women’s congregations, has called for a global moment of prayer, fasting, and “action for an unarmed and disarming peace” on March 6, 2026, livestreamed and open to “all people of goodwill.” The initiative, endorsed by the antipope “Pope Leo XIV,” frames peace as a human desire achieved through dialogue and the accompaniment of the vulnerable, utterly omitting the non-negotiable Catholic doctrine that **true and lasting peace is solely the fruit of the Social Reign of Christ the King over individuals, families, and nations**. This omission is not accidental but is the very essence of the modernist, naturalistic humanism condemned by the pre-1958 Magisterium.
