The National Catholic Register (NCR), a propaganda organ of the conciliar sect, reports on “Syro26,” a jubilee convention held July 9–12, 2026, in Chicago celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Syro-Malabar Eparchy in the United States. The event, attended by over 3,500 attendees at McCormick Place, featured “Cardinal” Blaise Cupich of the Chicago archdiocese, “Catholic” speakers Edward Sri, “Fr.” John Kartje, and “Fr.” Tim Anastos, alongside a carnival of Bollywood dance, “Syro Shark Tank” business pitches, saree draping workshops, rooftop socials, singles mixers, and dodgeball tournaments. The article trumpets “unity” after a 2025 liturgical dispute in India nearly caused a schism within the Syro-Malabar structure, praising the “unity with Rome” affirmed by the local Roman “ordinary.” This grotesque spectacle of ethnic clubbing and liturgical simulation masquerading as Catholic unity exposes the total substitution of the supernatural Kingdom of Christ for a naturalistic, ethnic social club in communion with the Antichrist enthroned in the Vatican.
The Nullity of Hierarchy and Sacraments in the Conciliar Sect
The entire edifice of “Syro26” rests upon a foundation of sand: the claim of legitimate hierarchy and valid sacraments within the structures occupying the Vatican since 1958. The Syro-Malabar “Eparchy” in Chicago derives its putative jurisdiction from “St. John Paul II” (Karol Wojtyła), an antipope who publicly professed heresies against the Faith (ecumenism, religious liberty, universal salvation) and thus, by the very fact of manifest heresy (ipso facto), lost all jurisdiction and membership in the Church, as St. Robert Bellarmine teaches: “A Pope who is a manifest heretic, by that very fact ceases to be Pope and head, just as he ceases to be a Christian and a member of the body of the Church” (De Romano Pontifice, II, 30). Pope Paul IV’s Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio infallibly declares that the promotion of a heretic to the papacy is “null, void, and of no effect”, even if unanimous consent of Cardinals preceded it. Since the line of usurpers begins with John XXIII and continues through Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, Francis, and now Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), the Syro-Malabar “Eparch” and his “priests” derive their orders and jurisdiction from a non-existent authority.
Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code, binding divine and ecclesiastical law, declares that an office becomes vacant ipso facto and without any declaration “if the cleric publicly defects from the Catholic faith”. The “bishops” and “priests” of the conciliar sect, including the Syro-Malabar hierarchy, have publicly defected by adhering to the heresies of Vatican II (Dignitatis Humanae, Unitatis Redintegratio, Nostra Aetate), the New Mass, and the new sacramental rites (Paul VI’s 1968 Pontificale Romanum), which are invalid in form and intention for the Sacrament of Order. As Leo XIII declared in Apostolicae Curae, the Anglican ordinal was invalid due to defect of form and intention; a fortiori, the Paul VI rites, which excised the essential form “for the office of the priesthood” and the intention to offer the propitiatory Sacrifice, produce null ordinations. Consequently, the “Holy Qurbana” celebrated at McCormick Place was not the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary, but a profane commemorative meal; the “Confessions” heard were invalid absolutions by laymen; the “Eucharistic Adoration” was idolatry before invalid matter. There is no Sacrifice, no Priesthood, no Jurisdiction, no Church where the True Pope is not. Ubi Petrus, ibi Ecclesia; Ubi Antipapa, ibi Ecclesia Non Est.
The “Unity” Celebrated is Communion with the Abomination of Desolation
The article’s central theme—”unity”—is the watchword of the Great Apostasy. The “Cardinal” Cupich, a manifest modernist who has publicly defended communion for adulterers and the LGBT agenda, appeared to bless this ethnic festival, declaring the Syro-Malabar community a “sign of hope” for its “robust youth ministry” and “outreach to immigrant families.” This is the ecumenism of the trenches condemned by Pius XI in Mortalium Animos (1928) and by the Syllabus of Errors (Prop. 16, 17, 18): “Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation… Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion.” Here, “unity with Rome” means submission to the Antichurch, the paramasonic structure occupying the Vatican. The 2025 “liturgical dispute” in India—centered on the orientation of the celebrant (versus populum vs. ad orientem) within the invalid Novus Ordo Qurbana—was a family squabble within the counter-church, not a defense of the Faith. The “unity” preserved was unity with the Usurper. Quas Primas teaches that “the Kingdom of Christ encompasses all men… the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ” (Pius XI, Quas Primas, citing Leo XIII). The Syro-Malabar hierarchy, by recognizing Leo XIV as Vicar of Christ, denies the Social Kingship of Christ over the Church, rendering Caesar (the Antipope) the head of the Church, the very error condemned in Syllabus Prop. 54: “Kings and princes are… superior to the Church in deciding questions of jurisdiction.”
Linguistic Deception: “Holy Qurbana,” “Eparchy,” “Eucharistic Adoration” as Semantic Weapons
The article employs a calculated vocabulary of “Eastern-ness”—“Holy Qurbana,” “Eparchy,” “Qurbana,” “Bethany Sisters”—to cloak the naked novelty of the conciliar rite in the vestments of Tradition. This is the hermeneutic of continuity applied liturgically: retaining the forma of the East while evacuating the forma of the Faith. The “Holy Qurbana” celebrated is the 1962/1968 reformed Syro-Malabar rite, stripped of its sacrificial theology, vernacularized, and celebrated versus populum (the very point of the 2025 schism threat). To call this the “Holy Qurbana” is a lie; it is a pseudo-Qurbana, a Protestantized memorial service. The term “Eparchy” implies a legitimate particular Church; in reality, it is an administrative district of the Neo-church. “Eucharistic Adoration” before a bread consecrated by an invalidly ordained “priest” using a defective form is not adoration of the Verum Corpus, but idolatry (idololatria). The speakers—Edward Sri (apologist for the New Evangelization), “Fr.” Kartje (astrophysicist/modernist), “Fr.” Anastos (campus minister)—represent the clericalized laity of the conciliar church, purveyors of a therapeutic moralistic deism, not the Depositum Fidei.
Naturalism, Laicism, and the Carnival of the Nations: The Quas Primas Indictment
Pius XI in Quas Primas (1925) diagnosed the “plague of our times, so-called laicism, its errors and impious undertakings”: “It began with the denial of the reign of Christ the Lord over all nations… the Christian religion began to be equated with other false religions… subordinated to civil power… replaced by a natural religion.” “Syro26” is the apotheosis of this plague. The article reads like a travel brochure or a community center bulletin: “Bollywood dance and traditional music,” “saree draping and styling class,” “Syro Shark Tank business startup summit,” “Pietra Fitness workout class,” “21+ rooftop social,” “singles mixer,” “dodgeball tournament,” “World Cup Soccer watch party.” One attendee jokes: “I feel like that’s kind of half the purpose of the convention.” Indeed. The “faith” is reduced to cultura, ethnos, and negotiotium. The “theatrical productions” of St. Thomas replace the Sacra Doctrina. The “Catholic Ask Me Anything” panel replaces the Magisterium. This is religious indifferentism and naturalism condemned by the Syllabus (Props. 15, 16, 58, 59): “No other forces are to be recognized except those which reside in matter… Right consists in the material fact.” The “evangelization” hoped for is the growth of an ethnic club, not the conversion of nations to the Social Kingship of Christ the King. The “unity” celebrated is the unity of a volksgemeinschaft under the aegis of the Antichurch.
The Theological Bankruptcy of “St. Thomas Christians” in Communion with Antichrist
The article boasts: “They proudly call themselves ‘St. Thomas Christians’ — descendants of the first Christians to whom St. Thomas the Apostle brought the Gospel in Kerala, India, in A.D. 52.” This glorious patrimony is prostituted to legitimize a counterfeit church. St. Thomas preached Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus; his spiritual descendants in Chicago celebrate communion with those who teach that Muslims, Hindus, and Jews are saved in their false religions (Nostra Aetate, Assisi). The theatrical line—“This mission did not end with St. Thomas… in the fullness of time, from the Indian shores, that faith… set sail for North America”—is a lie. The Faith that set sail was the Catholic Faith; what arrived in Chicago is the conciliar counterfeit. The “Bethany Sisters” and “priests” ordained in the new rite are not the successors of St. Thomas’s priesthood, but functionaries of a Masonic operation (cf. False Fatima analysis of Masonic infiltration via “syncretism” and “ecumenism”). The name “Fatima” itself is cited as a “symbol of Christian-Islamic syncretism”; the Syro-Malabar collaboration with the Latin “Cardinal” Cupich in Chicago is the local instantiation of this global syncretism.
Symptomatic Level: The Eastern Lung Breathing the Poison of Modernism
The “Syro26” event is the definitive proof that the “Eastern Catholic Churches” have not preserved Tradition but have been fully assimilated into the Novus Ordo religion. The 2025 schism scare in India was never about the Filioque, the Azymes, or Papal Infallibility; it was about versus populum vs. ad orientem within the invalid New Rite. Both factions accepted the “Pope,” the Council, the New Mass, and Religious Liberty. The “unity” brokered was unity in error. The Syro-Malabar Church in the US, far from being a “witness to all Catholics” (as Cupich lied), is a witness to the total corruption of the Eastern rites by the Latin Modernism they were supposed to balance. The “explosive growth” (87,000 souls, 53 parishes) is demographic metastasis, not supernatural increase. The “youth ministry,” “catechetical programs,” and “financial literacy” workshops are the opus operatum of the Church of Man, the Civitas Terrena masquerading as the Civitas Dei. As St. Pius X warned in Pascendi, the Modernist “does not deny, but transforms” dogma into symbol, history, and sentiment. Here, the Dogma of the Kingship of Christ is transformed into a “cultural festival”; the Sacrifice of the Mass into a “Qurbana” community meal; the Priesthood into “presidency”; the Church into an “Eparchy” ethnic NGO.
Conclusion: Come Out From Among Them
The Syro-Malabar “Jubilee” in Chicago is a satanic parody of the Feast of Christ the King instituted by Pius XI in Quas Primas to combat the very laicism on display at McCormick Place. It is a gathering of the synagogue of Satan (Apoc. 2:9), simulating Catholic externals while denying the Head, Christ the King, by recognizing the Usurper Leo XIV. The “priests” are laymen; the “bishops” are intruders; the “sacraments” are null; the “unity” is schism from the True Church. Exite de medio eorum et separatamini (2 Cor 6:17). True Syro-Malabar faithful, heirs of St. Thomas, must reject this Masonic-Neo-church structure, adhere to the Throne of Peter (vacant since 1958), seek out validly ordained priests of the True Church (preserving the 1962 Missal and the pre-1968 Pontificale), and pray for the Restoration of the Papacy and the Social Reign of Christ the King. Regnavit a ligno Deus.
