EWTN News, the English-language propaganda arm of the conciliar sect (via its Spanish sister service ACI Prensa), reports on August 11, 2026, that the “bishops” of Argentina, Peru, Mexico, and Chile have issued statements of “solidarity” and “prayer” following a magnitude 7.4 earthquake in Colombia that killed at least 180 people. The article, authored by Walter Sánchez Silva, a veteran correspondent of the neo-church who boasts of covering events “during the pontificates of Benedict XVI and Pope Francis,” details how these “prelates” invoke the Virgin of Chiquinquirá and Our Lady of Guadalupe, urge the faithful to join “humanitarian aid initiatives,” and coordinate with civil authorities under a declared “state of emergency.” The thesis is undeniable: the conciliar hierarchy has definitively abandoned the supernatural mission of the Church for a purely naturalistic, NGO-style humanitarianism, confirming their status as hirelings who flee at the sight of the wolf (John 10:12).
The Usurpation of the Episcopal Office: False Shepherds of a False Church
The article parades a roster of “bishops” — the Argentine “prelates” writing to “Archbishop” Francisco Javier Múnera, the Peruvian “episcopate,” the Mexican “Conference,” the Chilean “Conference” — as if they possessed legitimate jurisdiction. From the perspective of integral Catholic theology, grounded in the immutable teaching of Cum ex Apostolatus Officio (Pope Paul IV) and the principles elucidated by St. Robert Bellarmine and Cardinal Billot, a manifest heretic ipso facto loses all jurisdiction and membership in the Church. Since the conciliar “bishops” publicly profess the heresies of Vatican II — religious liberty, false ecumenism, collegiality, the new ecclesiology — they are not merely “bad bishops”; they are non-bishops, intruders in the sheepfold. The “Defense of Sedevacantism” file confirms: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope or a member of the Church… a non-Christian in no way can be Pope… therefore, a manifest heretic cannot be Pope.” The same principle applies to the episcopate. When the Argentine “bishops” speak of “the Church and the entire beloved people of Colombia,” they refer to the conciliar sect, the “Church of the New Advent,” not the Catholic Church. Their “closeness” is the solidarity of co-conspirators in the great apostasy.
Naturalistic Humanitarianism Masquerading as Pastoral Charity
The linguistic level of the article reveals the theological vacuum. The “bishops” offer “closeness,” “solidarity,” “accompaniment,” “comfort,” “strength,” “hope,” “solace.” Nowhere — nowhere — do we find the language of the true Church: penitentia, conversio, remissio peccatorum, Missa, sacramenta, iudicium Dei. The Peruvian “prelates” “pray to the Virgin of Chiquinquirá… for the injured and for all those affected by this disaster, as well as for those participating in relief and aid efforts.” The Chilean “bishops” explicitly “encouraged the faithful to ‘pray for the victims and join in the humanitarian aid initiatives of the civil and ecclesial institutions.'” This is the reduction of the Church to a humanitarian NGO, precisely the “secularism” and “laicism” condemned by Pius XI in Quas Primas: “The Church’s authority to teach men, to issue laws, to govern nations… was denied. And then, slowly, the Christian religion began to be equated with other false religions… subordinated to secular power.” The “bishops” do not call the Colombian people to repentance for the sins that cry to heaven — abortion, divorce, “same-sex unions,” Masonic infiltration of government, the betrayal of the Social Reign of Christ the King. They offer only temporal palliatives. As St. Augustine teaches, “Caritas non potest esse nisi ubi est veritas” (Charity cannot exist where truth is not). Without the truth of the Faith, their “charity” is philantropia, not caritas.
Marian Invocations Stripped of Supernatural Efficacy
The Mexican “bishops” invoke “Our Lady of Guadalupe… cover them with her mantle of protection.” The Peruvians pray to the “Virgin of Chiquinquirá, patroness of Colombia.” In the mouth of Modernists, these invocations are emptied of their power. The true Our Lady of Guadalupe crushed the serpent of human sacrifice in Mexico; the true Virgin of Chiquinquirá is the Regina Martyrum who converts nations to the unus grex, unus Pastor. But the “bishops” of the conciliar sect use these titles as cultural talismans, devoid of the extra Ecclesiam nulla salus reality. They do not say: “Turn to the Mother of God, that she may bring you to her Divine Son in the one Ark of Salvation, the Catholic Church, outside of which there is no salvation.” They say: “May she accompany you.” This is the ecumenical, interreligious Marianism condemned by the Syllabus of Pius IX (Error 16: “Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation”) and by St. Pius X in Lamentabili (Prop. 58: “Truth changes with man”). The “False Fatima Apparitions” file exposes the Masonic strategy behind such vague Marianism: “The imprecise formulation ‘conversion of Russia’ (without specifying Catholicism) opens the way to religious relativism.” The same imprecision governs here: “protection,” “accompaniment,” “mantle” — but no demand for conversion to the integral Faith.
Collaboration with the Secular State: The Two Swords Inverted
The article notes: “De la Espriella declared a state of emergency to coordinate aid… The Chilean bishops encouraged the faithful to… join in the humanitarian aid initiatives of the civil and ecclesial institutions.” This is the subversion of the divine order. The Syllabus of Errors (Error 55) condemns: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church.” Error 20: “The ecclesiastical power ought not to exercise its authority without the permission and assent of the civil government.” Error 42: “In the case of conflicting laws enacted by the two powers, the civil law prevails.” Here, the “bishops” do not even wait for permission; they voluntarily subordinate their “ecclesial institutions” to the civil “state of emergency.” They act as chaplains to the Masonic state, legitimizing the Civitas Dei being replaced by the Civitas Diaboli. Pius XI in Quas Primas thundered: “Let rulers of states therefore not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ… For when God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” The Colombian “bishops” (not mentioned directly but implied) and their Latin American counterparts are accomplices in the dethronement of Christ the King. They do not demand that the state proclaim the Kingship of Christ; they beg the state for “coordination.”
Silence on Sin, Penance, and Divine Justice: The Hallmark of Modernism
The most damning aspect is the total silence on the supernatural cause of the chastisement. An earthquake of this magnitude is not a “natural disaster”; it is a flagellum Dei, a scourge of Divine Justice calling a sinful nation to repentance. The Old Testament prophets, Christ Himself (Luke 13:1-5), and the constant Tradition of the Church teach that temporal calamities are permitted by God propter peccata — for sins. The “bishops” of the conciliar sect, formed in the Modernist seminary where Lamentabili Proposition 22 reigns (“The dogmas which the Church proposes as revealed are not truths of divine origin but are a certain interpretation of religious facts”), have lost the sensus catholicus of Divine Providence. They speak of “tragedy,” “disaster,” “anguish” — purely horizontal categories. They do not say: “This earthquake is a call from the Just Judge to a nation that has legalized the murder of the unborn, profaned marriage, and expelled Christ from its laws. Let us fast, do penance, celebrate the True Mass, and convert.” This silence is theological apostasy in action. It fulfills the prophecy of Quas Primas: “The state is happy not by one means, and man by another… When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the entire human society had to be shaken.”
EWTN: Propaganda Organ of the Abomination of Desolation
The source itself — EWTN News / ACI Prensa — is a primary instrument of the great deception. The article notes the author “reported from important ecclesial events in Europe, Asia and Latin America during the pontificates of Benedict XVI and Pope Francis.” This boast confirms his role as a chronicler of the counter-church. EWTN, founded by the “Mother Angelica” of the charismatic movement (itself a conduit for Modernist subjectivism), functions as the Pravda of the conciliar sect, normalizing the usurpation of the Holy See by “Pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) and his predecessors John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, Francis. By presenting the activities of false “bishops” as “the Church in Latin America,” EWTN constructs a potemkin village of Catholicism to lull the faithful into believing the Church survives in the Vatican. It does not. The Church survives only in catacumbis, among those who hold the integral Faith of Trent, the Mass of St. Pius V, and the Sede Vacante.
Conclusion: The Harvest of the Conciliar Revolution
The article is a perfect microcosm of the post-conciliar apostasy: false shepherds, naturalistic charity, emptied Marianism, collaboration with the Masonic state, silence on sin and judgment, disseminated by a media apparatus built on lies. The Colombian earthquake is a signum magnum (Rev. 12:1) — not of “Our Lady of Guadalupe’s mantle” as the Modernists sentimentalize it, but of the Ira Dei hanging over a continent that has betrayed its baptismal promises. The only true “solidarity” the true bishops of the Catholic Church (wherever they remain, clandestini) can offer is the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary offered for the conversion of Colombia, the Rosary prayed as a weapon against the principalities and powers (Eph. 6:12), and the uncompromising proclamation: “Nisi poenitentiam egeritis, omnes similiter peribitis” (Luke 13:3). The conciliar sect offers only band-aids for a soul bleeding to death. Miserere nobis, Domine.
