Vatican News portal reports that on May 25, 2026, Archbishop Éric Soviguidi, the apostolic nuncio of the conciliar sect to Burkina Faso and Niger, paid a courtesy visit to His Majesty the Moogho Naaba Baongo, the traditional monarch of the Mossi people. The nuncio called upon “all leaders and moral authorities—including traditional leaders, chiefs, religious leaders, and political authorities—to work together by consulting with one another for the good of the nation and its people,” and commended the traditional chiefs for “demonstrating tolerance, reconciliation, and peaceful coexistence.” The Moogho Naaba, in turn, thanked the usurper Leo XIV for the Catholic Church’s “spiritual and humanitarian attention” to Burkina Faso. This grotesque spectacle of a representative of the post-conciliar apparatus genuflecting before a pagan tribal chief, treating his animist authority as a legitimate “moral authority” on equal footing with the Church, is a textbook illustration of the radical apostasy of the neo-church — an apostasy that the true Church has consistently condemned as a betrayal of the Kingship of Christ and the exclusive supernatural mission entrusted to her by her Divine Founder.
The Diplomacy of Apostasy: Equating Pagan Authority with the Church
The language employed by Archbishop Soviguidi is not merely imprudent — it is doctrinally catastrophic. By addressing the Moogho Naaba Baongo as a “moral authority” whose collaboration is sought alongside that of “religious leaders” and “political authorities,” the nuncio implicitly places the pagan chieftain on a plane of moral equivalence with the ordained ministers of the true Faith. This is not Catholic diplomacy; it is the diplomacy of the abomination of desolation, the post-conciliar sect that has replaced the supernatural mission of the Church with a horizontal, naturalistic program of interreligious collaboration.
Pope Pius XI, in the encyclical Quas Primas (1925), declared with absolute clarity: “His reign, namely, extends not only to Catholic nations or to those who, by receiving baptism according to law, belong to the Church, even though their erroneous opinions have led them astray or discord has separated them from love, but His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ.” The reign of Christ the King admits no parallel authorities, no “moral” counterweights drawn from pagan traditions. The Moogho Naaba is not a “moral authority” — he is a pagan ruler whose people are steeped in idolatry and superstition, and whose proper status in the eyes of the Church is that of a soul in urgent need of conversion to the one true Faith, not a partner in “consultation for the good of the nation.”
“Tolerance, Reconciliation, and Peaceful Coexistence”: The Tripartite Heresy of Vatican II
Archbishop Soviguidi’s commendation of the traditional chiefs for “demonstrating tolerance, reconciliation, and peaceful coexistence” is a veritable manifesto of the three great heresies of the conciliar revolution: Dignitatis Humanae (religious liberty), the decree on ecumenism, and the declaration on the Church’s relation to non-Christian religions. These are not virtues — they are the erasure of truth in the name of false charity.
The Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX (1864) condemned with the full weight of papal authority the proposition that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Proposition 80). Yet this is precisely what the conciliar sect has done — not merely with liberalism and modern civilization, but with every form of paganism and false religion on earth. The nuncio’s praise of “tolerance” is a direct echo of the condemned Proposition 79: “it is false that the civil liberty of every form of worship, and the full power, given to all, of overtly and publicly manifesting any opinions whatsoever and thoughts, conduce more easily to corrupt the morals and minds of the people, and to propagate the pest of indifferentism.”
True peace is not found in “coexistence” with error — it is found exclusively in the submission of all men and all nations to Christ the King. As Pius XI proclaimed: “The peace of Christ is only possible in the Kingdom of Christ.” The nuncio’s language reveals that he serves not the Church of Christ but the paramasonic structure that has occupied the Vatican since 1958, a structure whose entire diplomatic program is built on the systematic betrayal of the Church’s divine mandate to teach, govern, and sanctify all nations.
The Moogho Naaba’s “Gratitude”: A Pagan Thanks the Usurper
Perhaps the most revealing element of this entire episode is the response of the Moogho Naaba Baongo, who “thanked the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, for the Catholic Church’s spiritual and humanitarian attention to Burkina Faso.” Let us be precise: the Moogho Naaba is thanking a usurper — Robert Prevost, who illegitimately occupies the See of Peter — for “spiritual and humanitarian attention.” The conciliar sect provides humanitarian aid and calls it “spiritual.” It builds schools and hospitals without demanding conversion and calls it “the Gospel.” It collaborates with pagan rulers and calls it “dialogue.”
The true Church, before the concilar apostasy, understood that the primary duty of any Catholic missionary or representative toward pagan peoples was their conversion to the Catholic Faith — not the reinforcement of their pagan social structures. Pope Leo XIII, in his missionary encyclicals, insisted that the Church’s mission was the propagation of the Kingdom of Christ, not the validation of indigenous religious and political systems. The Moogho Naaba is the custodian of an animist tradition that involves ancestor worship, fetishism, and practices condemned by the First Commandment. For the nuncio to visit him as a peer, to seek his collaboration as a “pillar of social cohesion,” is to treat idolatry as a stabilizing social force rather than as an abomination before God.
The Omission That Condemns: Silence on Conversion, Silence on Sin
What is entirely absent from the nuncio’s remarks — and this silence is the gravest accusation — is any mention of the conversion of the Mossi people to the Catholic Faith, any acknowledgment that the paganism of the Moogho Naaba’s tradition is incompatible with the salvation of souls, any reference to the necessity of baptism, or any warning that “peaceful coexistence” with false religion is not a virtue but a betrayal of the first and greatest commandment. There is no mention of the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, no mention of the sacraments, no mention of the state of grace, no mention of the final judgment.
This silence is not accidental — it is the defining characteristic of the conciliar sect. The post-conciliar church has systematically eliminated from its public discourse every supernatural reality that might offend non-Catholic sensibilities. It has replaced the preaching of the Gospel with humanitarian activism, the call to repentance with the celebration of “shared values,” and the doctrine of the Church’s exclusive salvific mission with a vague spirituality of “encounter” and “dialogue.” The result is a counterfeit church that is indistinguishable from a secular NGO — and indeed, the nuncio’s visit to the Moogho Naaba reads less like a Catholic pastoral initiative than like a UN development officer meeting with a local community leader.
The “Traditional Chiefs” as Pillars of a Pagan Order
The nuncio’s characterization of traditional chiefs as “pillars of social cohesion” and “key mediators in promoting national unity” reveals the thoroughly naturalistic and worldly framework within which the conciliar sect operates. The Church of Christ does not evaluate political structures by their capacity to maintain “social cohesion” — she evaluates them by their conformity to the law of God and their openness to the preaching of the Gospel.
St. Pius X, in Lamentabili Sane Exitu (1907), condemned the modernist proposition that “the Church is an enemy of the progress of natural and natural sciences” (Proposition 57) and that “contemporary Catholicism cannot be reconciled with true knowledge without transforming it into a certain dogmaless Christianity, that is, into a broad and liberal Protestantism” (Proposition 65). The nuncio’s approach — treating pagan traditional authority as a legitimate and valuable partner in governance — is the practical application of these condemned principles. It is the reduction of the Church’s mission to a purely naturalistic program of social engineering, stripped of all supernatural content.
The Example of Pope Leo XIV: An Antipope Cited as Authority
The article notes that the Moogho Naaba expressed gratitude to “Pope Leo XIV” — that is, to Robert Prevost, the current antipope who illegitimately claims the Chair of Peter. The conciliar sect’s entire diplomatic apparatus operates under the authority of this usurper, and every act of the nuncios, every “courtesy call,” every interreligious handshake is carried out in his name. The true Church recognizes no authority in this man or his predecessors from John XXIII onward, all of whom have promulgated heresies, undermined the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and betrayed the Church’s divine mandate.
The Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio of Pope Paul IV establishes that any pontiff who has defected from the Catholic Faith or fallen into heresy prior to or during his elevation is null, void, and of no effect. The heresies of the conciliar “popes” — from the religious liberty of Vatican II to the pantheistic interreligious prayer at Assisi — are matters of public record and constitute manifest heresy. The nuncio’s invocation of Leo XIV’s authority is therefore not merely illegitimate but an act of complicity in the ongoing usurpation of Peter’s See.
Conclusion: The Neo-Church’s Missionary Betrayal
The visit of Archbishop Soviguidi to the Moogho Naaba Baongo is not an isolated incident — it is a paradigmatic expression of the conciliar sect’s fundamental apostasy from the missionary mandate of the Church. By treating a pagan monarch as a “moral authority,” by praising “tolerance and peaceful coexistence” as supreme values, by omitting all reference to conversion and the supernatural order, and by operating under the authority of an antipope, the nuncio reveals the true nature of the post-conciliar church: a humanitarian organization dressed in ecclesiastical vestments, devoid of supernatural faith, and devoted to the construction of a worldly “peace” that has nothing to do with the peace of Christ the King.
The true Church — the Church of all ages, the Church that endures in the faithful who profess the integral Catholic faith and are led by bishops with valid orders — does not seek “coexistence” with paganism. She seeks the conversion of all nations to the one true Faith, the submission of all rulers to the Kingship of Christ, and the establishment of the social reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ over every people, tribe, and tongue. Until that mission is restored, every act of the conciliar sect’s diplomacy will remain what this visit so clearly exemplifies: a betrayal of the Gospel in the name of the world.
