The EWTN News portal reports that the Israeli ambassador to the “Holy See,” Yaron Sideman, speaking at the Rimini Meeting, downplayed the severity of attacks on Taybeh — the last all-Christian town in the West Bank — while the “Latin Patriarch” Pierbattista Pizzaballa and the World Council of Churches documented a pattern of violence threatening the community’s existence. The “patriarch” warned Christians are considering flight; the ambassador insisted Israel guarantees “religious freedom” and safe pilgrimage. Local clergy invite outsiders to “come and see.” This spectacle of conciliar prelates appealing to a secular state for protection while ignoring the Social Kingship of Christ exposes the complete inversion of the Church’s mission.
The Conciliar Church Begs for Crumbs from Caesar’s Table
The cited article presents a tableau of spiritual bankruptcy: the “Latin Patriarch” of Jerusalem, “Cardinal” Pizzaballa, accompanied by diplomats from over twenty nations, visits Taybeh not to summon the faithful to penance and the Kingship of Christ, but to solicit guarantees from the Israeli state. The “Observatory for the Christian Presence in the Holy Land” — a bureaucratic NGO — catalogues “incursions” and “attacks” as if the Church’s primary concern were demographic survival or property rights. Nowhere is the name of Jesus Christ invoked as King of nations; nowhere is the duty of the State to profess the Catholic Faith and submit to His Law proclaimed. Instead, the conciliar hierarchy embraces the Masonic principle of separation of Church and State, condemned by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors (prop. 55: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church”), and begs the secular power for “protection, accountability, and concrete measures.” This is the fruit of Dignitatis Humanae and the false “religious liberty” that reduces the Ecclesia to a mere interest group pleading for tolerance.
The Heresy of “Religious Freedom” as the Framework of Betrayal
The Israeli ambassador’s assurance that Israel “guarantees religious freedom” is treated in the article as a legitimate defense. The conciliar “patriarch” does not rebuke this blasphemy; he implicitly accepts the framework. Pope Pius IX condemned the proposition that “in the present day it is no longer expedient that the Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of the State” (Syllabus, prop. 77). Pope Leo XIII taught in Immortale Dei that the State is bound to profess the true religion. The “Second Vatican Council” declared the contrary, and the conciliar sect has enforced this apostasy ever since. By accepting “religious freedom” as a valid currency, the “Patriarch” Pizzaballa betrays the Social Kingship of Christ, which Pius XI defined in Quas Primas: “His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ.” The State of Israel, like every modern state, refuses this submission; the conciliar hierarchy, instead of denouncing this rebellion, negotiates for “safe pilgrimage.”
Ecumenism with Heretics and Infidels: The World Council of Churches as Partner
The article cites the World Council of Churches — a Protestant-led ecumenical body — as an authoritative voice documenting the plight of Taybeh. Pope Pius XI in Mortalium Animos (1928) forbade Catholics from participating in non-Catholic religious assemblies, declaring that “the union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ.” The “Syllabus” condemns the proposition that “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (prop. 18). Yet the conciliar “Church” treats the WCC as a partner in advocacy. This is not “dialogue”; it is adhesion to the Masonic project of a one-world religion, foreshadowed by the false “Fatima” narrative which, as documented, “opens the way to religious relativism” and “can serve to legitimize dialogue with schismatic Orthodoxy.” The “patriarchs and heads of churches in Jerusalem” who joined the July 2025 visit included schismatics and heretics; their common cause is purely humanitarian, devoid of supernatural faith.
The “Holy See” Usurped: A Masonic Diplomacy of Accommodation
The ambassador speaks to the “Holy See” — the post-1958 structure occupying the Vatican. Since John XXIII, the See of Peter has been vacant; the claimants are manifest heretics who, by the teaching of St. Robert Bellarmine and Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code, lost office ipso facto. The “Defense of Sedevacantism” file demonstrates: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope… a non-Christian in no way can be Pope.” The “pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) continues the apostasy. The diplomatic exchange between the Israeli envoy and the “Holy See” is a theater of two Masonic-influenced powers: the Zionist state and the conciliar sect. The “Fatima” file exposes the “Masonic operation ‘Fatima'” with its “ritualistic 200-year cycles” and “disinformation strategy” culminating in “ecumenical reinterpretation.” The Rimini Meeting itself, founded by the “Fr.” Luigi Giussani (Communion and Liberation), is a laboratory of the “Church of the New Advent,” where faith is reduced to “experience” and “encounter.” The ambassador’s performance there is perfectly staged: he offers “religious freedom” — the Masonic shibboleth — and the conciliar hierarchy accepts it as a triumph.
Supernatural Silence: No Call to Conversion, No Mention of Sin, Judgment, or Grace
Read the article again. There is not a single reference to sin, conversion, the state of grace, the Most Holy Sacrifice, the Sacraments, the Final Judgment, or the necessity of the Catholic Faith for salvation. The “priest” Fr. Bashar Fawadleh speaks of “security, access to their land and livelihoods, and ability to remain in the town.” This is pure naturalism. Pius XI in Quas Primas warned: “When God and Jesus Christ were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” The conciliar clergy have removed Christ from their own discourse. They do not tell the faithful of Taybeh that their suffering may be a chastisement for the world’s apostasy, or a call to deeper union with the Crucified. They offer only “diplomatic visits” and “media attention.” The “invitation: ‘Come and see'” is not an invitation to the True Mass, to Confession, to Eucharistic Adoration — it is an invitation to witness a humanitarian crisis. This is the “cult of man” condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi and Lamentabili Sane Exitu (prop. 58: “Truth changes with man… Christ did not proclaim any specific, all-encompassing doctrine suitable for all times and peoples”). The conciliar “Church” has become an NGO for Christian Zionism or Palestinian nationalism, depending on the audience — but never the Ecclesia Catholica.
The Theological Root: Denial of Christ’s Kingship Over the Temporal Order
The crisis in Taybeh is not primarily military or political; it is theological. The land belongs to Christ the King. “The Father has appointed Christ heir of all things; and He is to reign until He has put all His enemies under the feet of God the Father” (Heb 1:2; 1 Cor 15:25, cited in Quas Primas). The modern State of Israel, founded on the rejection of the Messiah, cannot have a legitimate title to the Holy Land apart from submission to His Vicar. The conciliar hierarchy, by recognizing the State of Israel (the “Fundamental Agreement” of 1993) and engaging in bilateral diplomacy, has de facto recognized a political order that denies Christ’s Kingship. Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King precisely “to address the needs of the present times and provide a special remedy against the plague that poisons human society. And this plague is the secularism of our times, so-called laicism.” The “patriarch” Pizzaballa administers this plague. He does not proclaim the Kingship; he manages the decline.
Conclusion: The Conciliar Sect Is the Abomination of Desolation in the Holy Place
The article from EWTN News — a mouthpiece of the neo-church — inadvertently documents the total victory of the Revolution. The “Church” in the Holy Land has become a chaplaincy for a disappearing demographic, pleading with Caesar for the right to exist. It has abandoned the mandatum: “Going therefore, teach ye all nations… teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you” (Mt 28:19-20). It has embraced the errors of Lamentabili: “The Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics, because it steadfastly adheres to its views, which cannot be reconciled with modern progress” (prop. 63). The true Church of Christ, the Ecclesia Militans, endures only in those who hold the integral Faith, the true Mass, and the Social Kingship — outside the structures of the “Vatican” occupation. Taybeh’s Christians do not need “diplomatic visits”; they need the Traditio, the Sacramentum, the Regnum. They need bishops who teach that Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus, that the State must confess Christ, and that the only true peace is Pax Christi in Regno Christi. The conciliar hierarchy offers none of this. It is, in the words of St. Pius X, “the synthesis of all heresies” — Modernism — enthroned in the holy place. Let the faithful flee this spiritual Sodom and cleave to the Tradition that alone saves.
