The propaganda organ of the conciliar sect, EWTN News via its Spanish-language arm ACI Prensa, publishes a puff piece dated July 10, 2026, featuring two Novus Ordo presbyters of the Mexican “archdioceses” of Monterrey and Mexico City, Mr. David Jasso and Mr. José de Jesús Aguilar. Under the guise of Catholic commentary on the 2026 FIFA World Cup, these functionaries of the neo-church peddle a vapid naturalistic humanitarianism—“fraternity,” “shared dreams,” “hope,” “respect and peace”—utterly devoid of the *Pax Christi in Regno Christi* (Peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ). The article reduces the supernatural mandate of the priesthood to sports psychology, offering the bread and circuses of globalist sport as a substitute for the Social Kingship of Christ the King, solemnly defined by Pius XI in *Quas Primas*. This is not pastoral theology; it is the opium of the conciliar sect, drugging the faithful with Masonic fraternity while the rights of Christ the King are trampled in the public square.
The Clerical Worldliness of the Conciliar Sect: Sports Directors in Cassocks
The cited article presents Mr. Jasso not primarily as a priest of the Most High God, *alter Christus* offering the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary, but as a “former sporting director of the Monterrey Soccer Club.” This inversion of priorities is the quintessence of the *Gaudium et Spes* anthropology that has infected the conciliar clergy since the Robber Council. The article quotes him: “We learn more from failure and mistakes than from achievements and successes.” This is not Catholic wisdom; it is secular psychology baptized in holy water. St. Paul teaches the contrary: “Where sin abounded, grace did more abound” (Rom 5:20). The Catholic learns from *sin* and *grace*, not from sporting “failure.” Mr. Jasso’s reduction of the priestly vocation to a motivational speaker for a globalist spectacle—“let’s enjoy it, especially with family and friends”—is a scandalous dereliction of the duty to preach *Christ crucified* (1 Cor 1:23), not “fraternity” on the soccer pitch.
Mr. Aguilar, “priest of the Archdiocese of Mexico,” fares no better. He cites Ecclesiastes—“there is a time to win and a time to lose”—to counsel mere “composure” and “hope” devoid of theological virtue. “One must always have hope,” he says, but a hope anchored in what? Not in the *Spes non confundit* (Rom 5:5) rooted in the Sacred Heart, but in the vague optimism of “people, times, circumstances, opportunities” changing. This is Stoicism, not Christianity. It is the *naturalisme* condemned by St. Pius X in *Pascendi Dominici Gregis*: “The naturalist… admits only the natural order.”
Theological Bankruptcy: Silence on the Social Kingship of Christ
The theological vacuity of the article is measured by its deafening silence on the very feast Pius XI instituted to combat the plague of the age: the Feast of Christ the King. In *Quas Primas* (1925), the last true Pope to reign before the usurpation of 1958 thundered: “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… the entire human society had to be shaken.” (Denz. 3677).
The Novus Ordo presbyters speak of “fraternity,” “peace,” “respect,” and “shared hopes”—the very vocabulary of the Masonic *Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité* and the UN Charter. They speak of “glory, heaven, and salvation” only as a vague afterthought: “there are more important things for which we are playing… glory, heaven, and salvation.” This is the hermeneutic of rupture in action: the Kingship of Christ is privatized, relegated to the “private sphere” condemned by Pius XI, while the public sphere—the World Cup, the nations, the laws—is surrendered to Caesar, to FIFA, to the “business aspects” and “corruption” Mr. Jasso lamely decries.
Pius XI taught authoritatively: “His reign encompasses not only Catholic nations… but also all non-Christians, so that truly the whole human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ.” (*Quas Primas*, Denz. 3678). The Mexican “priests” address the World Cup—a gathering of nations—as a secular festival of “unity,” ignoring the duty of the Church, perfecta societas, to demand that “rulers of states… not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ” (*Quas Primas*). Their silence on the *De jure* rights of Christ the King over Mexico, the USA, Canada, Portugal, Croatia, and all participating nations is a practical denial of the Incarnation’s political consequences. It is the error of *Laicism* (Error 55 of the *Syllabus*: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church”), lived out in the pulpit of the conciliar sect.
False Ecumenism and Masonic Fraternity on the Pitch
The article’s central motif is sport as a unifier: “the power of sport to bring people together around the same dream… we can still unite, that we can still be together.” This is the unité d’action of the Masonic lodges, the *civiltà dell’amore* of Paul VI (Montini), the “culture of encounter” of Bergoglio. It is the “ecumenism of the stadium” replacing the *Unitatis Redintegratio* of the true Church: “One Lord, one faith, one baptism” (Eph 4:5).
The *Syllabus of Errors* (1864) condemns the proposition: “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Error 18). Today, the conciliar sect extends this indifferentism to Islam, Judaism, and paganism under the banner of “fraternity.” The World Cup, a ritual of the Masonic calendar (founded 1904, under Masonic influence; FIFA’s symbolism reeks of globalist unity), becomes the new altar. Mr. Jasso’s call to “protect the sport from corruption… and business aspects” is the whimper of a chaplain to the money-changers in the Temple, not the whip of cords wielded by Christ (Jn 2:15). He does not call for the conversion of the nations to the *One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church*; he calls for “fan festivities… with respect and peace.” Pax sine Christo is the peace of the Antichrist.
Invalid Ministry, Invalid Sacraments: The Void of the Conciliar Hierarchy
It is essential to recall the ontological reality: Mr. Jasso and Mr. Aguilar are not Catholic priests. Ordained in the *Novus Ordo* rite of Paul VI (1968)—a rite stripped of the essential form “for the remission of sins” and the intention to offer the *Propitiatory Sacrifice*—they lack the sacerdotal character. Their “archdioceses” (Monterrey, Mexico) are jurisdictions of the conciliar sect, the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Mt 24:15), headed by the usurper antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost). They possess no jurisdiction (*Can. 109, 1917 Code*), no mission *missio canonica*, and no sacramental power. Their “ministry” is a simulation, a *simulacrum sacerdotii*.
When Mr. Jasso speaks of “glory, heaven, and salvation,” he speaks as a hireling (Jn 10:12), not a shepherd. He cannot offer the *Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary* (the Novus Ordo Missae is a Protestantized “memorial supper,” invalid *ex defectu formae et intentionis*). He cannot absolve sins (invalid form, invalid orders). He cannot guide souls to the *Beatific Vision*. His World Cup homily is the blind leading the blind into the pit (Mt 15:14). The faithful in Mexico, deceived by the external trappings of the occupied structures, are fed stones for bread (Mt 7:9).
The Fatima Distraction and the Mexican Martyrs
The article’s silence on the true patrons of Mexico is deafening. Not a word of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the *Patroness of the Americas*, who crushed the serpent of human sacrifice. Not a word of the Cristero martyrs (*Cristo Rey!*) who died for the *Social Kingship of Christ* against the Masonic Calles regime—the very error the World Cup spectacle embodies: the State without God. Instead, the conciliar sect promotes the Masonic Operation “Fatima” (1717–1917–2017 cycles, “Miracle of the Sun” = mass autosuggestion, “Conversion of Russia” = ecumenical syncretism with Schismatic Orthodoxy) as the false spiritual engine of the post-conciliar era. The Mexican “priests” ignore the true Mexican martyrs—St. Christopher Magallanes, Bl. Miguel Pro—who died crying “Viva Cristo Rey!”, preferring to cry “Viva el Fútbol!” with “fraternity.”
Conclusion: Reject the Bread and Circuses; Restore the Kingdom
This EWTN/ACI Prensa article is a manifesto of the civitas terrena masquerading as the Civitas Dei. It exposes the theological bankruptcy of the conciliar sect: no Kingship of Christ, no Social Reign, no *Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus*, no *Syllabus*, no *Quas Primas*. Only naturalistic “hope,” Masonic “fraternity,” and the opium of sports.
True Catholics, adhering to the *Sede Vacante* since 1958, maintaining the *Traditio* of the Fathers, the *Quattuor Concilii* (Trent, Vatican I), and the Magisterium of Pius XI, reject this idolatrous spectacle. We know, with Pius XI, that “there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12) than Jesus Christ the King. The World Cup is a distraction of the *Princeps huius mundi* (Jn 12:31). The only “victory” that matters is the *Victoria Christi* on the Cross, made present daily on the altars of the true Church by valid priests offering the *Immaculate Host*. *Viva Cristo Rey!* *Viva la Virgen de Guadalupe!* Down with the antichurch and its circuses.
