The National Catholic Register portal reports that a “Catholic priest” of the “Diocese of Moroto” in Uganda, one Dominic Alinga, has been sentenced to 31 years imprisonment after pleading guilty to the murder of a Uganda Revenue Authority official and the attempted murder of a Good Samaritan who intervened. The “priest,” ordained in July 2020 under the auspices of the “Bishop” Damiano Guzzetti, had been “suspended” a mere two weeks prior to the killing — allegedly because he believed the tax official had contributed to his disciplinary removal. He fled the scene, confessed to another “priest,” and surrendered to secular authorities. The “diocese” has remained silent on the judgment, and the killer cleric remains technically a member of the “clerical state” because the conciliar sect has not bothered to laicize him. This sordid affair lays bare the utter spiritual nullity of the post-conciliar “clergy” and the juridical farce of their “canonical” discipline.
Invalid Orders: The Ontological Nullity of the “Perpetrator”
The article speaks of a “priest” ordained in July 2020. From the perspective of integral Catholic faith, this designation is a categorical falsehood. The “ordination” rites employed by the conciliar sect since 1968 — the *Pontificale Romanum* of Paul VI — are deficient in form and intention, excising the essential sacrificial language of the priesthood (*offerre, sacrificium, propitiatorium*) and substituting a vague “presbyteral ministry” oriented toward the “people of God.” As Archbishop Lefebvre himself recognized before his capitulation, the new rite “does not make priests.” Therefore, Mr. Alinga was never a priest. He never received the character of the priesthood (*character indelebilis*), never possessed the power to confect the Eucharist, never held the keys of absolution. His “suspension” by “Bishop” Guzzetti was a bureaucratic shuffling of papers within a paramasonic structure, devoid of any canonical effect in the true Church. The “Code of Canon Law” cited by the article (the 1983 code) is the legislative instrument of a schismatic sect, binding no one in conscience. The very premise of the report — that a “Catholic priest” committed murder — is a lie that serves to scandalize the faithful and defame the holy priesthood of the true Church.
The “Bishop” Guzzetti: A Usurper Without Jurisdiction
The article names Damiano Guzzetti as the “Bishop of the Moroto Diocese.” Guzzetti, appointed by the antipope Francis (Bergoglio) in 2014, holds no legitimate jurisdiction. As demonstrated by the theological principles articulated by St. Robert Bellarmine and confirmed by Pope Paul IV’s Bull *Cum ex Apostolatus Officio*, a manifest heretic cannot hold ecclesiastical office. The line of claimants to the Holy See since John XXIII has publicly professed the heresies of religious liberty, false ecumenism, collegiality, and the new ecclesiology — all condemned by the Syllabus of Errors, *Quas Primas*, *Pascendi Dominici Gregis*, and *Lamentabili Sane Exitu*. Guzzetti, as a willing collaborator of this apostate hierarchy, is at best a layman masquerading as a bishop. His “suspension” of Alinga was an act of null authority, a theatrical gesture to manage public relations within the neo-church. The fact that he “declined to disclose the reasons for the disciplinary measure” reveals the arbitrary, tyrannical nature of conciliar “governance” — a far cry from the *salus animarum* which is the supreme law of the true Church.
Sacrilege Masquerading as Confession
The article states that Alinga “reportedly sought out another Catholic priest and confessed to the killing before surrendering himself to police.” This is perhaps the most spiritually grotesque detail. Alinga, a layman invalidly “ordained,” approached another layman invalidly “ordained,” and performed a simulation of the Sacrament of Penance. Neither possessed the power of orders (*potestas ordinis*) nor the power of jurisdiction (*potestas iurisdictionis*). The “absolution” pronounced — if any was pronounced — was null and void. The seal of confession does not attach. This was not a sacramental encounter but a psychological offloading, a counseling session between two impostors. The true Church teaches, per the Council of Trent (Sess. XIV, Can. 6), that the sacramental absolution of a priest without jurisdiction is invalid *except* in danger of death. Alinga was not in danger of death; he was fleeing justice. The conciliar sect’s “priests” routinely hear “confessions” without jurisdiction, rendering the sacrament a nullity for the faithful who approach them in good faith. This case exposes the diabolical mockery of the sacraments that is the daily reality of the Church of the New Advent.
Secular Justice: The Only Justice Left
The Uganda High Court, a civil tribunal, sentenced Alinga to 31 years. The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions declared: “The conviction demonstrates that criminal responsibility applies equally to all persons regardless of their social or religious status.” This is a damning indictment of the conciliar sect. The true Church, as taught in *Quas Primas*, holds that “the state must leave the same freedom to the members of Orders and Congregations… who are indeed the most valiant helpers of the Pastors of the Church.” But the true Church also possesses her own coercive jurisdiction (*coercitiva*) over clerics, including the power to degrade and hand over to the secular arm (*degradatio et traditio brachio saeculari*) for heinous crimes. The conciliar sect has abandoned this duty. It did not laicize Alinga before trial; it did not excommunicate him; it did not even publicly condemn the murder as a sin crying to heaven for vengeance. The “Diocese of Moroto has not publicly commented on the High Court’s judgment.” Silence. The secular power has become the sole executor of justice because the ecclesiastical power has abdicated — or rather, because the true ecclesiastical power has been eclipsed by the abomination of desolation sitting in the Vatican. As Pius IX taught in the Syllabus (Error 55), “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” is a condemned proposition. Yet the conciliar sect has *effected* this separation by its own impotence, leaving the state to punish its own “clergy.”
The Fruit of the New “Formation”: A Murderer Ordained in 2020
Alinga was “ordained” in July 2020 — a product of the post-conciliar seminary system, formed in the spirit of *Gaudium et Spes*, *Presbyterorum Ordinis*, and the 1983 Code. He was trained in the “hermeneutic of continuity” that is in reality a rupture with Tradition. He was taught that the priesthood is a “service” rather than a sacrificial mediation, that “dialogue” replaces conversion, that “accompaniment” replaces correction. The result: a man who, upon facing a canonical penalty (itself invalid), resorted to murder. This is not an aberration; it is the logical fruit of a formation that has excised the Cross, the reality of sin, the necessity of grace, and the fear of God. The article notes he “believed the URA officer had shared information that contributed to his suspension.” Pride, wounded vanity, hatred — the capital sins unleashed by a “theology” that denies original sin and the necessity of mortification. St. Pius X in *Lamentabili Sane Exitu* condemned the proposition that “Christ did not proclaim any specific, all-encompassing doctrine suitable for all times and peoples” (Prop. 59). The conciliar sect has embraced this Modernist error, and its “clergy” are formed in doctrinal vacuum. Alinga is the bitter harvest.
The Conciliar Sect’s “Canonical Process”: A Theater of Impunity
The article carefully explains that “the suspension imposed on Alinga prohibited him from exercising priestly ministry but did not remove him from the clerical state… there has been no public announcement that Alinga has been dismissed from the clerical state, a canonical penalty commonly referred to as laicization. Such a penalty requires a separate canonical process and, in many cases, the approval of the Holy See.” This bureaucratic labyrinth is by design. The 1983 Code, unlike the 1917 Code (Canon 188.4, cited in the *Defense of Sedevacantism* file), makes laicization a convoluted, discretionary favor granted by the “Holy See” — i.e., the Roman Curia of the antipope. A cleric who publicly defects from the faith (Canon 188.4, 1917) loses office *ipso facto*. A cleric who commits murder — a sin crying to heaven — should be degraded immediately by his Ordinary. But the conciliar sect protects its own. The “Holy See” (the Roman dicasteries of the neo-church) delays, obstructs, and often refuses laicization for notorious criminals, as seen in the McCarrick case and countless others. The “process” is a shield for iniquity. The true Church, guided by the *Corpus Iuris Canonici* and the Roman Catechism, knows that the scandal of a murderous cleric demands swift, public, exemplary punishment *propter scandalum*. The conciliar sect’s inaction is complicity.
Christ the King Denied: The Social Reign of the Neo-Church
Pius XI in *Quas Primas* instituted the Feast of Christ the King precisely to combat “the secularism of our times, so-called laicism, its errors and wicked endeavors.” He wrote: “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.” Uganda, a nation with a Catholic majority, is ruled by a secular state that tries priests for murder in civil courts because the “Church” has no voice, no authority, no *potestas iurisdictionis* recognized by anyone — not even its own “clergy.” The “Bishop” Guzzetti’s only public act was to “urge the faithful to pray for the priest so that he may deeply receive the grace of conversion and amendment of life.” No call for justice. No invocation of the Kingship of Christ over the temporal order. No condemnation of the murder as a violation of the Fifth Commandment binding on the conscience of the nation. The conciliar sect has surrendered the public reign of Christ. It is a “Church” that “does not take away earthly things” but also does not sanctify them. It is salt that has lost its savor, fit only to be cast out and trodden underfoot (Matt. 5:13).
Conclusion: The Abomination Made Manifest
This case — a “priest” who is no priest, a “bishop” who is no bishop, a “confession” that is no sacrament, a “canonical process” that is no justice, a “diocese” that is no portion of the Church of Christ — is a microcosm of the Great Apostasy. The gates of hell have prevailed *visibly* in the structures occupying the Vatican. The true Church of Christ subsists in the remnants of Tradition: in the bishops and priests who retain valid orders and jurisdiction, who celebrate the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary, who teach the integral Faith without adulteration. The faithful must flee the conciliar sect as they would flee a plague. The murder in Entebbe is not a tragedy of a “bad apple”; it is the inevitable fruit of a rotten tree. *Non est bonum arborem bonam fructus malos facere* (Matt. 7:18). The conciliar sect is not the Catholic Church. Its “clergy” are not Catholic priests. Its “sacraments” are empty rituals. Its “canon law” is waste paper. Let the secular courts deal with its criminals; the true Church has already judged its heresy.
