The Pillar portal reports that the Diocese of Las Cruces, a structure of the conciliar sect occupying the Vatican, is litigating against the United States government to prevent the construction of a border wall on Mount Christo Rey, claiming the barrier violates the “least intrusive approach” to religious exercise under the First Amendment while simultaneously declaring the wall a “monument to politics” equivalent to “an advertisement for a porn shop” next to the statue of Christ the King. The diocese boasts of its successful collaboration with federal agents since 2021, utilizing sensors and patrols to deter illegal crossings, rendering the wall superfluous. This spectacle of a false church invoking the Kingship of Christ to obstruct the sovereign duty of a nation to secure its borders — while its “chancellor” blasphemously compares a border barrier to a pornography advertisement — exposes the total subversion of the Social Reign of Christ the King into a Masonic tool for open borders and religious indifferentism.
The Usurping Hierarchy Masquerades as Defender of the Faith
The cited article reveals the Diocese of Las Cruces — a juridical entity of the conciliar sect erected in 1982 by the antipope John Paul II — engaging in a legal theater against the civil power. Its chancellor, Deacon Jim Winder, declares: “The wall would be a monument to politics, it’s a monument to something that goes against the teachings of the Catholic faith… You might as well put up a sign that’s an advertisement for a porn shop next to the statue. The wall is the equivalent.” This rhetoric is not the voice of the Church Militant but the whine of the Church of the New Advent, which has replaced the Social Kingship of Christ with the secular religion of human rights and open borders. The “teachings of the Catholic faith” invoked by Winder are not the immutable doctrines of Pius IX, Leo XIII, St. Pius X, or Pius XI, but the Modernist novelties of Gaudium et Spes, Dignitatis Humanae, and the USCCB’s heretical pastoral letters which subordinate the rights of God to the “dignity of the migrant.”
Profaning the Feast of Christ the King for Masonic Ends
Mount Christo Rey was consecrated in 1939, during the pontificate of Pius XI, who in Quas Primas (1925) instituted the Feast of Christ the King precisely to combat the “plague of our times, so-called laicism” and to assert that “His reign encompasses not only Catholic nations… but His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ” (Pius XI, Quas Primas, 1925). The statue atop the mountain was erected to proclaim Christus Vincit, Christus Regnat, Christus Imperat. Today, the paramasonic structure occupying that diocese perverts this royal standard into a banner for the “right of nations to secure borders” qualified by an “obligation to accommodate… those migrating,” a formula lifted directly from the USCCB — a body with zero canonical authority in the true Church. The Syllabus of Errors (1864) condemned the proposition: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55). The Diocese of Las Cruces, by invoking the First Amendment — a Masonic construct — to demand the State refrain from building a wall on the grounds of “religious exercise,” ratifies this condemned error. It acknowledges the secular state as the arbiter of the Church’s rights, contra Pius IX: “The Church is not a true and perfect society… but it appertains to the civil power to define what are the rights of the Church” (Error 19).
The “Least Intrusive Approach” Heresy: Subverting Divine Law to Positive Law
The diocese’s legal strategy rests on the First Amendment requirement that the government employ the “least intrusive approach” to religious practice. This is the language of the abomination of desolation, not the Catholic Church. The true Church teaches, per Leo XIII in Immortale Dei (1885), that the State has a duty to “profess the Catholic religion” and to “favor and protect the Church”. The Syllabus condemns the idea that “The civil government… has a right to an indirect negative power over religious affairs” (Error 41) and that “In the case of conflicting laws enacted by the two powers, the civil law prevails” (Error 42). By suing Caesar in Caesar’s court to stop Caesar from building a wall on land Caesar claims via eminent domain, the conciliar diocese acknowledges the supremacy of the secular legal order over the Kingship of Christ. It argues not from Divine Right but from constitutional procedure. The “sensors and patrols” collaboration (2021–2025) cited by Winder — “The area is so heavily patrolled… I don’t think a jackrabbit can make it through there” — reveals the diocese as an active partner in the border management apparatus of a Masonic state, negotiating the terms of its own subservience.
Christ the King Reduced to a Relativistic Symbol
Winder’s comparison of the border wall to “an advertisement for a porn shop” is a diabolical inversion. The wall is a sovereign act of a nation defending its borders — a natural lawfulf a duty recognized by the natural law and the Church’s perennial teaching on the common good (bonum commune). The “porn shop” is the conciliar sect itself, which for sixty years has prostituted the Bride of Christ to the spirits of the world: ecumenism, religious liberty, collegiality, and the “cult of man” denounced by Paul VI in his 1976 allocution. The statue of Christ the King on Mount Christo Rey, in the hands of these usurpers, has become an idol of the civitas terrena, a talisman for open borders. Pius XI warned: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed” (Quas Primas, citing Ubi Arcano). The Diocese of Las Cruces does not want Christ to reign; it wants the State to leave its lucrative pilgrimage site and its government-funded “sensor” contracts undisturbed.
The Vacant See and the Invalid Hierarchy
The article notes the diocese was “erected in 1982” and “formally acquired the Mt. Christo Rey property” upon its erection. This entity derives its jurisdiction from the line of claimants to the Holy See beginning with John XXIII (Angelo Roncalli), all of whom, by manifest adherence to the heresies of Modernism condemned by St. Pius X in Lamentabili Sane Exitu (1907) and Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907), and by the public promulgation of the heretical documents of Vatican II, lost all canonical office ipso facto without need of declaration. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches (De Romano Pontifice, Lib. II, Cap. 30): “A manifest heretic… by that very fact ceases to be Pope and head, just as he ceases to be a Christian and member of the body of the Church.” Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code confirms: “Every office becomes vacant by the mere fact… if the cleric publicly defects from the Catholic faith.” The “Bishop” of Las Cruces, the “Deacon” Winder, the “priests” celebrating the Novus Ordo “Mass” on that altar — all operate without jurisdiction, without mission, outside the Church. Their “pilgrimages” are acts of superstition; their “shrines” are profaned ground. The “Christ the King” they invoke is a counterfeit, the “Jesus” of the nouvelle théologie, not the Rex Regum of Scripture and Tradition.
Symptomatic Level: The Conciliar Sect as Agent of the Antichrist
This legal battle is a microcosm of the Great Apostasy. The conciliar sect, occupying the visible structures of the Church, functions as the “synagogue of Satan” (Apoc. 2:9) foretold by Pius IX in his allocutions against Freemasonry: “It is from them that the synagogue of Satan… takes its strength… to submit the Church of God to the most cruel servitude, to undermine the foundations on which it rests.” The “Smart Wall” (steel bollards, cameras, sensors) represents the technological surveillance of the Masonic New World Order. The diocese’s opposition is not to the wall per se, but to the symbol — the wall represents the Civitas Dei asserting itself against the Civitas Diaboli of borderless globalism. The conciliar hierarchy, as the Defense of Sedevacantism file demonstrates, cannot be the true Church because a manifest heretic cannot be head of the Church. Their “defense” of the statue is the defense of their own institutional survival within the paramasonic structure. They are the “hirelings… who see the wolf coming and leave the sheep and flee” (John 10:12), negotiating with the wolf for grazing rights.
Conclusion: No King But Caesar
The Diocese of Las Cruces, by its fruits, declares: “We have no king but Caesar” (John 19:15). It fights the State not for the Kingship of Christ, but for the “right” to continue its comfortable collaboration with the border regime under the guise of “religious liberty” — the very error condemned by Gregory XVI (Mirari Vos, 1832) and Pius IX (Quanta Cura, 1864). The statue on Mount Christo Rey stands as a silent reproach to the apostates below: “His empire shall be multiplied, and there shall be no end to peace: he shall sit upon the throne of David… to establish it and gird it with justice and righteousness from henceforth and forever” (Isa. 9:7, cited in Quas Primas). True justice demands the conversion of nations to the Catholic Faith, not the management of migration flows by sensor-equipped hirelings. The wall, whatever the State’s motive, stands as a crude sign of national sovereignty — a sovereignty that belongs ultimately to Christ the King. The conciliar sect’s attempt to enlist Him in the service of open borders is the final blasphemy of the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:15). Viva Cristo Rey! — the true one, not the idol of the neo-church.
