The EWTN News portal, propaganda organ of the conciliar sect, reports that on June 28, 2026, Argentinians gathered at the basilica of Our Lady of Luján for a “Mass” offered by the usurper of the see of Mercedes-Luján, Jorge Eduardo Scheinig, for victims of the Venezuelan earthquake. The homily delivered by this false shepherd reduces the supernatural order to therapeutic self-help, urging a reexamination of “priorities” while remaining utterly silent on sin, divine chastisement, the Social Kingship of Christ, and the necessity of the true Church for salvation. This spectacle exposes the neo-church’s complete apostasy: it offers humanitarian sentiment in place of the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary, and psychological coping mechanisms in place of the call to conversion.
The Invalid “Mass” and the Usurped See
The article centers on a “Mass” celebrated by Jorge Eduardo Scheinig, presented as “archbishop of Mercedes-Luján.” From the perspective of integral Catholic theology, this man is a layman masquerading as a bishop. The conciliar “episcopate” derives from the invalid Pontificale Romanum of 1968, promulgated by the antipope Paul VI (Montini), which altered the form and matter of episcopal consecration, excising the essential传递 of the Holy Ghost for the governance of the Church. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches, a manifest heretic ipso facto loses all jurisdiction and cannot be head of the Church (De Romano Pontifice, lib. 2, cap. 30). The entire conciliar hierarchy, from the usurper “Leo XIV” (Robert Prevost) down to Scheinig, has publicly defected from the Catholic faith by adhering to the heresies of Vatican II: religious liberty, false ecumenism, collegiality, and the new ecclesiology. By Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code, they have tacitly resigned their offices by public defection from the faith. The “Mass” they offer is not the Sacrificium laudis of the Council of Trent, but a Protestantized memorial meal, invalid in form and intention, constituting idolatry when adored as the true Sacrifice.
Naturalistic Moralism Masquerading as Preaching
Scheinig’s homily, as reported, is a masterclass in Modernist immanentism. He speaks of “priorities,” “peace,” “confusion,” “anguish,” and “living well” – the vocabulary of the secular therapist, not the verbum Dei.
“If you have the right priorities, you are at peace. But if you choose your priorities poorly, it causes confusion and anguish for you; it doesn’t help you live well.”
This is Pelagian self-salvation: man orders his own life by correct prioritization. Christ is reduced to a life coach:
“Jesus helps us order our priorities… What is Jesus’ priority? God. What comes first for Jesus? God. And what does he advise us? Put God first, and you won’t regret it.”
The word “advises” (aconseja) is telling. The King of Kings does not “advise”; He commands with absolute authority: Regnavit a ligno Deus (God has reigned from the wood of the Cross). Pius XI in Quas Primas> condemns precisely this reduction: “When God and Jesus Christ were removed from laws and states and when authority was derived not from God but from men, the foundations of that authority were destroyed”. Scheinig’s “God” is a psychological prop to “fill your life with love” and “help you love everyone and everything in a different way.” This is the cult of man> condemned by the Syllabus of Pius IX (Error 58: “No other forces are to be recognized except those which reside in matter… and the gratification of pleasure”).
Silence on Sin, Judgment, and the Kingship of Christ
The Venezuelan earthquake, killing thousands, is treated as a mere natural disaster, a “strange mix of very beautiful things and deeply painful things.” Not a word on divine justice, chastisement for national sins (abortion, socialism, corruption, apostasy), or the call to penance: “Nisi poenitentiam egeritis, omnes similiter peribitis” (Luke 13:3). The Syllabus condemns the error that “The teaching of the Catholic Church is hostile to the well-being and interests of society” (Error 40). The neo-church inverts this: it suppresses the Church’s teaching to appease the world. Scheinig juxtaposes the earthquake footage with the “Argentina World Cup match” – a trivialization of suffering that reveals the laicism> Pius XI denounced: “The state must leave the same freedom to the members of Orders… who contribute most to the expansion and establishment of Christ’s Kingdom” (Quas Primas>). Instead, the “archbishop” validates the World Cup as permissible entertainment so long as “my priority isn’t soccer; my priority is life.” This is not Catholic detachment; it is worldly accommodation.
False Solidarity, False Virgin, False Church
The article speaks of praying “to God and the Virgin” – a generic Marian piety stripped of the dogmas of the Immaculate Conception, the Assumption, the Mediatrix of All Graces, and the Co-Redemptrix. The “basilica and national shrine of Our Lady of Luján” has been transformed into a center of the neo-church’s false ecumenism and interreligious dialogue. The “solidarity” urged is horizontal: “give money and goods,” “share what we have.” Caritas> without veritas> is not charity but philanthropy. St. Paul teaches: “If I distribute all my goods to feed the poor… but have not charity, it profiteth me nothing” (1 Cor 13:3). True charity demands the salvation of souls through the true Faith and the true Sacraments. The related articles boast of “Pope Leo XIV sends 100K euros” – the antipope Robert Prevost dispensing Vatican funds as a secular NGO director, confirming the neo-church’s reduction to a humanitarian agency.
The Symptom: A Church That Has Ceased to Be the Church
This event is not an anomaly; it is the essence of the conciliar sect. Lamentabili Sane Exitu> condemned the Modernist proposition: “Christ did not proclaim any specific, all-encompassing doctrine suitable for all times and peoples, but rather initiated a certain religious movement” (Prop. 59). Scheinig’s homily proves the neo-church has no doctrine, only “priorities.” The Syllabus condemns: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Error 80). The “archbishop” of Mercedes-Luján has done exactly that: he has reconciled the Gospel to the World Cup, to naturalism, to the religion of humanity. The true Church, as Pius XI teaches, “demands for itself by a right belonging to it, which it cannot renounce, full freedom and independence from secular authority” (Quas Primas>). The neo-church begs for relevance at the altar of secularism.
Conclusion: Return to the True Mass and the True King
The faithful in Argentina and Venezuela do not need a “reexamination of priorities.” They need the Missale Romanum> of St. Pius V, the unadulterated doctrine of the Council of Trent, the Social Kingship of Christ the King proclaimed over all nations, and bishops with valid orders who teach extra Ecclesiam nulla salus>. The earthquake is a call to metanoia>, not to “putting God first” as a lifestyle hack. Convertimini ad me in toto corde vestro> (Joel 2:12). The structures occupying the Vatican and the basilicas of the world are the abomination of desolation> spoken of by Daniel. Let Catholics flee them and cleave to the remnant where the true Sacrifice is offered and the true Faith is kept intact.
