Vatican News Celebrates Secular Nationalism While Christ the King Is Exiled from the Nations
The Vatican News portal (August 24, 2026) reports on the commemoration of Ukraine’s 35th Independence Day in Kyiv, framing the ongoing war with Russia as a geopolitical struggle supported by a “Coalition of the Willing” of European leaders and the British Prime Minister Andy Burnham. The article details mutual missile strikes, civilian casualties, and pivots to the Middle East where U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent threatens Iran with an “economic D-Day.” The piece concludes with a solicitation for donations to spread the “Pope’s words into every home.” This report epitomizes the conciliar sect’s total capitulation to secular powers and its abandonment of the supernatural mission of the Church.
