EWTN News reports that “Father” Anthony Odiong, a former “priest” who served in Louisiana and Texas, has been sentenced to 99 years in prison for sexual assault and child pornography charges. While the conviction of this individual predator is a matter of secular justice, the article and the broader context of the post-conciliar “Church” reveal a far deeper, systemic rot that no prison sentence can address. The true scandal is not merely the crimes of one man, but the decades-long protection and enablement of such predators by the very structures of the conciliar sect, which has consistently prioritized its own institutional survival over the safety of souls.
The Predator and His Prey: A Symptom of Systemic Apostasy
The details of Odiong’s crimes are horrifying. He was a “calculated predator who exploited vulnerable parishioners for decades while hiding behind a collar.” He used his position of authority to commit sexual assault, fathered a child through one of his victims, and possessed child pornography. His arrest in Florida, while fleeing charges, and his access to “immense amounts of money” and multiple passports, paint a picture of a man who felt entitled and protected. This sense of entitlement is not an aberration; it is a direct fruit of the conciar sect’s clericalist culture, which, despite its rhetoric of “reform,” has consistently shielded its own from accountability.
The article notes that Odiong served at Baylor University’s St. Peter’s Catholic Student Center and later in Luling, Louisiana. These are not isolated incidents but part of a global pattern of abuse that has plagued the post-conciliar “Church” for decades. The conciliar sect’s response—transferring accused “priests,” silencing victims, and engaging in legal maneuvering to avoid liability—has been well-documented. This is not a failure of the system; it is the system working as designed to protect itself at the expense of the faithful.
The Language of Deception: “Priest,” “Church,” and the Theft of Sacred Titles
The article’s language is a masterclass in the conciar sect’s manipulation of sacred terminology. Odiong is repeatedly referred to as “Father” and a “priest,” titles that carry profound theological weight in Catholic doctrine. According to unchanging Catholic teaching, a priest is one who has received the sacrament of Holy Orders, conferring the power to offer the Holy Most Sacrifice of the Mass and absolve sins. The post-conciliar “Church,” however, has so thoroughly corrupted the priesthood through its new rite of ordination (introduced in 1968 by the Freemason Annibale Bugnini) that the validity of these orders is gravely doubtful. As the “Defense of Sedevacantism” file explains, a manifest heretic loses his office automatically, and the post-conciliar “Church” has been led by manifest heretics since at least John XXIII. Therefore, Odiong is not a priest but a layman simulating sacred rites, a wolf in sheep’s clothing whose very title is a blasphemy.
Similarly, the article refers to the “Catholic Church” as if the conciar sect were the true Church of Christ. This is a fundamental error. The true Church of Christ, founded on the Rock of Peter, is the one that has preserved the unchanging deposit of faith, the true sacraments, and the authority of the pre-conciliar Magisterium. The conciar sect, with its modernist innovations, false ecumenism, and religious indifferentism, is not the Church but the “abomination of desolation” standing in the holy place (Matthew 24:15). As Pope Pius IX declared in the Syllabus of Errors, “The Church is not a true and perfect society, entirely free—nor is she endowed with proper and perpetual rights of her own, conferred upon her by her Divine Founder; but it appertains to the civil power to define what are the rights of the Church, and the limits within which she may exercise those rights” (Proposition 19). The conciar sect, by submitting to secular powers and adopting the principles of religious liberty and dialogue, has effectively declared itself a human institution, not the divine society founded by Christ.
The Silence on Sacramental Reality: Where is the State of Grace?
The most glaring omission in the article is any mention of the spiritual state of the victims or the perpetrator. There is no discussion of the sacrilege involved in receiving “communion” from a man who is likely an invalidly ordained heretic, nor is there any warning about the mortal sin of cooperating with evil by remaining in a “parish” that has harbored such a predator. The article treats the abuse as a purely secular crime, ignoring the supernatural dimension entirely.
This silence is characteristic of the conciar sect’s naturalistic worldview. As Pope Pius X warned in Lamentabili sane exitu, Modernism reduces religion to a mere “self-awareness of man’s relationship to God” (Proposition 20) and denies the objective reality of sin, grace, and the supernatural order. The conciar sect, by focusing solely on psychological and legal solutions to abuse, implicitly denies the need for repentance, confession, and the restoration of the state of grace. It offers therapy where the Church would offer the sacraments, and legal settlements where the Church would offer spiritual healing.
The Complicity of the Hierarchy: From John Paul II to Leo XIV
The article does not mention the role of the conciar hierarchy in enabling Odiong’s crimes. However, the pattern is clear: bishops and “cardinals” have repeatedly covered up abuse, transferred known predators, and silenced victims. This is not a recent phenomenon but a systemic issue that has been tolerated at the highest levels of the conciar sect.
Consider the case of John Paul II, who was “canonized” by the antipope Francis despite his well-documented failures in handling abuse cases. As the “Facts and Myths” section notes, John Paul II was a heretic and apostate who never addressed the root causes of the crisis: the modernist infiltration of the seminaries, the corruption of the liturgy, and the loss of the sense of the sacred. His “canonization” is a scandal that reveals the conciar sect’s contempt for true holiness and its preference for political expediency over doctrinal integrity.
Similarly, the current antipope, Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), has shown no inclination to address the systemic issues that enable abuse. His focus on “synodality” and “dialogue” is a distraction from the real problem: the conciar sect has lost the faith and therefore cannot provide true spiritual leadership. As Pope Pius XI wrote in Quas primas, “When God and Jesus Christ—as we lamented—were removed from laws and states and when authority was derived not from God but from men, the foundations of that authority were destroyed” (Encyclical Ubi arcano). The conciar sect, by removing Christ from its teachings and practices, has destroyed its own authority and left the faithful vulnerable to predators like Odiong.
The Only Solution: Return to the True Church
The conviction of Anthony Odiong is a small measure of justice, but it does nothing to address the spiritual catastrophe that has befallen the Catholic world. The conciar sect, with its invalid sacraments, heretical teachings, and corrupt hierarchy, cannot provide the protection and healing that the faithful need. The only solution is to return to the true Church of Christ, which endures in the faithful who profess the integral Catholic faith and are led by bishops with valid sacraments and validly ordained priests.
As Pope Pius IX declared in Cum ex Apostolatus Officio, “If at any time it shall appear that any Bishop, even if he be acting as an Archbishop, Patriarch or Primate; or any Cardinal of the aforesaid Roman Church, or, as has already been stated, any legate, or even the Roman Pontiff, prior to his promotion or his assumption to the cardinalate or the papacy, has defected from the Catholic Faith or fallen into some heresy: (i) his promotion or elevation, even if it shall have been uncontested and by the unanimous assent of all the Cardinals, shall be null, void, and of no effect.” The conciar sect, by defecting from the Catholic faith, has rendered its entire structure null and void. The faithful must therefore seek out the true Church, where the Most Holy Sacrifice is offered, the sacraments are valid, and the faith is preserved in its integrity.
The case of Anthony Odiong is a stark reminder of the consequences of apostasy. The conciar sect, by abandoning the faith, has created a culture of abuse and corruption that no amount of reform can fix. The only hope for the faithful is to flee this “abomination of desolation” and return to the true Church of Christ, where the gates of hell shall not prevail.
