The Pillar Catholic portal (August 17, 2026) reports on the visit of the false “Cardinal” Pierbattista Pizzaballa to the Christian village of Taybeh in the West Bank, and the subsequent Angelus address by the usurper antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), both lamenting “ongoing violence against the Palestinian civilian population” and endorsing the “two-state solution.” The article frames the crisis in purely geopolitical, humanitarian, and demographic terms, highlighting the “closed military zone” designation, settler violence, and the risk of Christian emigration. It quotes the false patriarch Pizzaballa admitting: “I may not have answers at the human and worldly level, but I believe in God.” This naturalistic reduction of the Church’s divine mission to a secular NGO advocating for political borders and physical survival — while silence reigns on the Social Kingship of Christ, the necessity of the Catholic Faith for salvation, and the rights of God — exposes the conciliar sect’s total apostasy from the integral Catholic Faith.
The Usurper Antipope and His False Cardinal Legitimize Secular Power
The article centers on the actions of two manifest usurpers of ecclesiastical authority. Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), the current occupant of the Vatican since the death of the previous antipope Bergoglio, is a public heretic who professes the false religions of the conciliar sect — religious liberty, ecumenism, collegiality — condemned by the Syllabus of Errors and Lamentabili Sane Exitu. His “Angelus address” is not the voice of the Vicar of Christ but the political pronouncement of a layman heading a paramasonic structure. As 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). The 1917 Code, Canon 188.4, confirms: “Every office becomes vacant by the mere fact and without any declaration… if the cleric publicly defects from the Catholic faith.” Leo XIV’s public defection is total and notorious.
His accomplice, “Cardinal” Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the false “Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem,” is a creature of the conciliar revolution, ordained in the invalid Novus Ordo rite, exercising a jurisdiction he does not possess. His visit to Taybeh on the feast of the Assumption — a feast celebrating the Virgin’s triumph over death and her Queenship — was perverted into a photo-op for geopolitical solidarity. The article notes he “acknowledged that the Church did not have the power to resolve the complex political and territorial questions.” This admission of impotence before Caesar is the direct fruit of the conciliar abdication of the Church’s potestas indirecta in temporalia. Pius XI thundered in Quas Primas: “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 false patriarch’s powerlessness is the inevitable consequence of the conciliar sect’s acceptance of Error 55 of the Syllabus: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church.”
Reduction of the Church’s Mission to Naturalistic Humanitarianism
The article’s entire framework is naturalistic. It speaks of “civilians,” “violence,” “administrative zones,” “emigration,” “demographics,” “infrastructure,” “migration networks,” “prosperity.” Not a single word on the state of grace, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacraments, supernatural faith, conversion of the infidels, or the Social Kingship of Christ. The “Church leaders” cited are concerned only with the physical survival of a village, not the eternal salvation of souls. This is the heresy of humanitarianism condemned by St. Pius X in Lamentabili (Prop. 65): “Contemporary Catholicism cannot be reconciled with true knowledge without transforming it into a certain dogmaless Christianity, that is, into a broad and liberal Protestantism.”
The false “Fr. Bashar Fawadleh” (ordained in the invalid rite, his “Mass” a Protestantized assembly) is quoted fretting over the “2033 Jubilee” — a modernist novelty — and the “unique identity” of the village. “Taybeh stands on the front lines of preserving Christianity here in the Holy Land,” he says. But the Christianity he preserves is a vague, ecumenical, cultural artifact, not the Una, Sancta, Catholica et Apostolica Church. The true Church does not exist to “preserve a presence” in a geographic location but to save souls for the Kingdom of Heaven. As Pius XI taught: “His reign encompasses not only Catholic nations… but His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ” (Quas Primas, citing Leo XIII). The conciliar sect has inverted this: it subjects Christ to the “international community,” the “two-state solution,” the “rules-based order.”
The “Two-State Solution”: A Modernist Chimera Contrary to the Social Kingship of Christ
Leo XIV’s call for a “just and lasting peace via the proposed two-state solution” is a political opinion elevated to a pseudo-magisterial decree. The Syllabus condemns Error 77: “In the present day it is no longer expedient that the Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of the State, to the exclusion of all other forms of worship.” The “two-state solution” implicitly legitimizes a Jewish state (Israel) and an Islamic state (Palestine) side by side, both denying the Kingship of Christ. It accepts the separation of Church and State (Error 55) and religious indifferentism (Errors 15-18). True peace — pax Christi in regno Christi — is impossible without the public acknowledgment of Christ’s Kingship over nations. Pius XI: “Peace is only possible in the kingdom of Christ.” The antipope’s endorsement of a secular political framework is a betrayal of the first commandment and the Social Kingship of Christ. It is the laicism Pius XI called “the plague that poisons human society” (Quas Primas).
Ecumenical Indifference: The Conciliar Sect’s Silent Apostasy
The article casually notes: “Alongside Eastern Orthodox Christians, the village is home today to Latin Catholics and Melkite Greek Catholics.” This communicatio in sacris with schismatics (Orthodox) and the ambiguous status of “Melkites” (often Byzantine-rite conciliarists) is presented as normal. The false “Patriarch” Theophilos III (Greek Orthodox schismatic) is cited as a “Church leader” visiting in “solidarity.” This is the ecumenism condemned by Pius XI in Mortalium Animos (1928) and by the Syllabus (Error 18: “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” — extended here to Orthodoxy). The silence on the necessity of unity in the true Faith for salvation (extra Ecclesiam nulla salus) is deafening. The article treats the “Christian presence” as an ethnic/cultural demographic to be maintained, not as the Body of Christ requiring unity of Faith, Sacraments, and Government. This is the pan-Christianity of the Masonic “Fatima” operation exposed in the provided document: “The imprecise formulation ‘conversion of Russia’ (without specifying Catholicism) opens the way to religious relativism. It can serve to legitimize dialogue with schismatic Orthodoxy.” Taybeh is a microcosm of this relativism.
The 2033 Jubilee: A Masonic Counterfeit of the True Jubilee
The false “Fr. Fawadleh” invokes the “2033 Jubilee, marking two millennia since Jesus Christ walked this earth.” This is a modernist invention. The true Jubilee is a Papal act, rooted in the power of the keys (Mt 16:19), granting indulgences for the remission of temporal punishment due to sin. The conciliar sect, lacking valid jurisdiction (sedevacante, the See is vacant since 1958), cannot grant indulgences. Their “Jubilees” (1975, 1983, 2000, 2015, 2025, 2033) are simulacra, part of the “disinformation strategy” of the paramasonic structure: “Stage 3 (1958-2000): Takeover of the narrative by modernists, concealment of the Third Secret, ecumenical reinterpretation” (False Fatima document). The focus on “2033” as a deadline for “preserving Christianity” reveals a purely horizontal, immanentist eschatology — building a “civilization of love” on earth — rather than the vertical eschatology of the Parousia and the Last Judgment.
Silence on the Supernatural Order: The Gravest Accusation
The article’s most damning feature is what it omits. There is:
- No mention of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (the “Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary”) as the center of the village’s life — only a “Christ the Redeemer Church” building.
- No mention of the Sacraments (Baptism, Confirmation, Confession, Extreme Unction) as channels of grace.
- No mention of the state of grace or mortal sin as the true crisis.
- No mention of the conversion of Muslims and Jews to the Catholic Faith as the only solution.
- No mention of the rights of God (jus divinum) over the land, the people, the nations.
- No mention of Our Lady (except the feast day as a calendar marker), St. Joseph, the Saints, Purgatory, Hell, Heaven.
This silence is the signature of the Antichurch. As the False Fatima document states: “The message focuses on external threats (communism), omitting the main danger: modernist apostasy within the Church.” Here, the “external threat” is Israeli settlers and military orders; the “modernist apostasy within” is the very “Church leaders” speaking. The true danger to Taybeh’s Christians is not emigration to Chile or Guatemala, but dying without the true Sacraments, outside the true Church, in the sect of the Antichrist.
The Symptomatic Level: Taybeh as Microcosm of the Conciliar Revolution
Taybeh’s plight — caught between Area B and Area C, settlers and soldiers, emigration and demographic collapse — is the temporal consequence of the spiritual catastrophe of 1958. The Syllabus Error 40 declares: “The teaching of the Catholic Church is hostile to the well-being and interests of society.” The conciliar sect, by embracing the world’s errors (religious liberty, democracy, human rights, ecumenism), has lost the salt of the earth (Mt 5:13). It cannot preserve a village because it has lost the Faith that preserves nations. The false patriarch’s words — “I may not have answers at the human and worldly level, but I believe in God” — are a fideistic evasion. The true Church has the answer at the “human and worldly level”: Subdit creaturas rationali, rationalem Deo (She subjects the rational creature to God). The answer is the Social Kingship of Christ, the Catholic State, the conversion of all men to the one true Faith. The conciliar sect has none of these. It offers only humanitarian palliatives and political lobbying.
The “international community,” the “UN,” the “two-state solution,” the “rules-based order” — these are the idols the conciliar sect worships. The article ends: “Leo XIV and Cardinal Pizzaballa have shown clearly that they stand alongside the residents of Taybeh. Whether the world as a whole will do so remains an open question.” The true question is: Will the residents of Taybeh stand with Christ the King? The conciliar sect leads them to stand with the world, with Caesar, with the Prince of this world. Non est qui salvus sit nisi in Ecclesia Catholica. The “Church in the Holy Land” described by The Pillar is a whited sepulchre — beautiful buildings, ancient stones, “Christian village” demographics — but inside, the bones of the dead: no valid Mass, no valid priesthood, no true Faith, no salvation.
