Conciliar Sect’s Cannibalism: Scottish ‘Bishop’ Excommunicates ‘Rector’ for Illicit Rite
The National Catholic Register portal reports on a series of news items from the structures occupying the Vatican dated August 1, 2026. The lead story concerns the “Bishop” of Aberdeen, Hugh Gilbert, declaring the “Rector” of the Congregation of the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer, “Father” Michael Mary Sim, “excommunicated” for participation in an “illicit ordination.” Other items include the evacuation of Augustinian nuns in Spain due to wildfires, a “priest” in Gaza requesting prayers amid a fuel crisis, the Antilles Episcopal Conference issuing pastoral guidance on “gender identity,” security concerns for Christians in Syria, the French “Bishops’ Conference” calling for “solidarity” after wildfires, summer camps for children in the United Arab Emirates, the consolidation of two Irish dioceses under “Bishop” Gerard Nash by appointment of the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), a visit by the Chaldean “Patriarch” to Lebanon, and a letter of “solidarity” from a USCCB “bishop” to South Sudan. This conglomerate of ecclesiastical bureaucracy, naturalistic humanitarianism, and pseudo-traditionalist infighting exposes the total bankruptcy of the conciliar sect, which, devoid of the potestas ordinis and potestas iurisdictionis (power of orders and jurisdiction), cannibalizes its own members while the world burns.
The Nullity of Conciliar “Jurisdiction” and the Farce of “Excommunication”
The central event reported—the “excommunication” of “Father” Sim by “Bishop” Gilbert—is a juridical nullity, a theatrical performance staged within the abomination of desolation. As the Defense of Sedevacantism file demonstrates with irrefutable theological precision, a manifest heretic cannot hold the papacy or any ecclesiastical office. St. Robert Bellarmine teaches: “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” (De Romano Pontifice). Since the line of usurpers began with John XXIII, every subsequent claimant—including the current antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost)—has publicly professed the heresies of Vatican II (religious liberty, ecumenism, collegiality), thereby losing office ipso facto without need of declaration. Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code confirms: “Every office becomes vacant by the mere fact and without any declaration… if the cleric publicly defects from the Catholic faith.” Pope Paul IV’s Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio seals this: a heretic’s promotion is “null, void, and of no effect” even with unanimous cardinal assent.
Therefore, “Bishop” Gilbert—consecrated in the invalid post-1968 rite, professing the modernist religion—possesses no jurisdiction whatsoever. His “excommunication” is as canonically efficacious as a layman’s anathema. The “Congregation of the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer” itself, despite its traditionalist veneer, operates within the conciliar framework, recognizing the usurpers in Rome. This is schism within schism: a pseudo-traditionalist faction (the Transalpine Redemptorists, historically linked to the Lefebvrian compromise) being disciplined by the modernist hierarchy for an “illicit ordination” that likely involved a “bishop” of similarly doubtful orders. As the Defense of Sedevacantism file notes regarding the Nestorian precedent: “He who has departed from the faith… cannot depose or remove anyone.” Pope Celestine I declared that Nestorius “had already brought the divine judgment upon himself” before any sentence. So too every conciliar “bishop” and “priest” since 1958.
Reduction of the Church’s Mission to Naturalistic Humanism
The remaining news items form a litany of laicism condemned by Pius XI in Quas Primas. The encyclical declares: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” The “priest” in Gaza, “Father” Gabriel Romanelli, reduces the Church’s supernatural mission to humanitarian logistics—fuel shortages, transport, “summer activities for children.” Not a word of the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary, the state of grace, conversion, or the Social Reign of Christ the King. The Antilles “bishops” issue a “Pastoral Letter on Sexual and Gender Identity” that speaks of “theological teachings about human biology” and resisting “narratives that suggest the human person is a self-made project.” While the sentiment opposes gender ideology, the authority is false. These “bishops” derive their mandate from the antipope; their “teaching” lacks the charisma veritatis (charism of truth). They fight a rearguard action within the very revolution they legitimize by recognizing the usurper.
The French “Bishops’ Conference” calls for “solidarity,” open churches as “refuge of freshness,” and attention to the “sick, elderly, or isolated.” This is pure naturalism—the cult of man substituting for the cult of God. Pius XI warned: “The state must leave the same freedom to the members of Orders… who are indeed the most valiant helpers of the Pastors of the Church and contribute most to the expansion and establishment of Christ’s Kingdom, either by combating the triple concupiscence of the world through religious vows, or by striving for perfection.” The conciliar “nuns” evacuated in Spain await a “grace that will allow us to return home”—a vague, sentimental piety devoid of the sensus Ecclesiae (sense of the Church) that would recognize the abomination of desolation in the sanctuary.
False Ecumenism and the “UAE Summer Camp” Spectacle
The report of “nearly 2,000 children… in Catholic parishes across the United Arab Emirates” combining “faith formation… with games, workshops, music, and community life” under the “apostolic vicar” “Bishop” Paolo Martinelli is a textbook example of the ecumenism condemned by the Syllabus of Errors (Prop. 16, 17, 18). Pius IX anathematized: “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.” Operating a “Catholic” summer camp in an Islamic state, adopting themes like “spirituality of St. Francis of Assisi” stripped of doctrinal rigor, is religious indifferentism in action. The Quas Primas mandate is clear: “The annual celebration of this solemnity will also remind states that not only private individuals, but also rulers and governments have the duty to publicly honor Christ and obey Him.” The UAE does not honor Christ; the conciliar sect honors the UAE by its silent presence.
The Irish Consolidation: Administrative Tyranny of the Antipope
The unification of Ferns and Ossory “in persona Episcopi” by “Pope Leo” (Robert Prevost) is an act of usurped authority. “Bishop” Nash calls it “a mirror of the experience of many priests in modern Ireland.” This is administrative pragmatism replacing divine constitution. The Syllabus (Prop. 35, 37, 51) condemns: “There is nothing to prevent the decree of a general council… from transferring the supreme pontificate… National churches, withdrawn from the authority of the Roman pontiff… can be established… The lay government has the right of deposing bishops.” Here the antipope acts as a secular CEO merging dioceses for efficiency, not as a successor of Peter feeding the flock. The true Church, as Quas Primas teaches, “demands for itself by a right belonging to it, which it cannot renounce, full freedom and independence from secular authority.” The conciliar sect has no independence; it is a secular authority.
Eastern “Patriarchs” and USCCB Functionaries: Collaborators in the Occupation
The Chaldean “Patriarch” Mar Paul III Nona’s visit to Lebanon, meeting President Aoun and other “patriarchs,” signals the integration of Eastern “Catholic” hierarchies into the paramasonic structure. The USCCB’s “Bishop” Elias Zaidan, chairman of the “Committee on International Justice and Peace,” writes to “Bishop” Eduardo Hiiboro Kussala of Tombura-Yambio expressing “solidarity and fraternal unity.” This is the language of NGO diplomacy, not the lex orandi, lex credendi (law of prayer, law of belief). Lamentabili Sane Exitu (Prop. 52, 53) condemns the Modernist error: “Christ did not intend to establish the Church as a community lasting for centuries on earth… The organic structure of the Church is subject to change.” The conciliar sect’s structure is change—constant adaptation to the world.
Symptomatic Conclusion: The Auto-Demolition of the Neo-Church
The “excommunication” of a pseudo-traditionalist “rector” by a modernist “bishop” is the perfect icon of the Church of the New Advent devouring itself. Both parties accept the antipope Leo XIV as legitimate; both operate within the Novus Ordo juridical framework (even if one uses the 1962 Missal); both are outside the Catholic Church as defined by the immutable Magisterium before 1958. The faithful are warned: “Have no dealings with them” (Gilbert’s words, ironically true). The true Church endures in the catacombs—bishops and priests retaining valid orders and the integral faith, rejecting the abomination of desolation in the Vatican. “The Kingdom of Christ… encompasses all men… Let rulers of states therefore not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ” (Pius XI, Quas Primas). The conciliar sect refuses this veneration; its “news” is the chronicle of a corpse.
