The EWTN News portal reports that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has issued a Labor Day statement through its Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, chaired by Archbishop Shelton J. Fabre. The statement invokes the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) and his fictitious encyclical Magnifica Humanitas on artificial intelligence, lamenting economic conditions for young people and “vulnerable communities” while calling for collaboration between the “Church,” government, unions, and corporations to “design systems centered on the human person.” This document is not a Catholic pastoral letter but a manifesto of the conciliar sect’s total surrender to the spirit of the world, reducing the Kingship of Christ to a vague religious veneer over secular humanism and technocratic management.
The Usurpation of Papal Authority and the Fabrication of a False Magisterium
The statement’s foundational authority is the antipope Leo XIV, a manifest heretic who, by the very fact of his public adhesion to the errors of Vatican II and the post-conciliar revolution, ceased to be Pope and head of the Church ipso facto, as St. Robert Bellarmine teaches in De Romano Pontifice: “A Pope who is 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.” The citation of a non-existent encyclical Magnifica Humanitas by a false pope illustrates the paramasonic structure occupying the Vatican fabricating a counterfeit magisterium to legitimize its agenda. As Pope Paul IV’s Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio declares, the promotion of a heretic to the papacy is “null, void, and of no effect.” The USCCB, by treating this usurper as “Holy Father” and his fictional writings as binding, demonstrates its complete separation from the Catholic Church and its submission to the abomination of desolation foretold by Daniel and Christ.
Reduction of the Supernatural Order to Naturalistic Humanism
The statement’s anthropology is purely naturalistic. Archbishop Fabre asserts: “Work is more than a way to make a living; it is a form of participation in God’s creation.” While verbally acknowledging God, the entire framework operates on the hermeneutic of the “common good” divorced from the Summum Bonum. The document cites “stagnant wages,” “unemployment,” “affordability,” and “anxiety about AI” as primary concerns—temporal, material metrics utterly devoid of reference to the state of grace, the salvation of souls, or the Social Reign of Christ the King. Pius XI in Quas Primas thundered: “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 USCCB’s appeal to “inclusive growth,” “protection for the most vulnerable,” and “builders of communion” is the language of Masonic philanthropy, not Catholic theology. The Syllabus of Errors (Pius IX) condemns the proposition that “The civil government… has a right to an indirect negative power over religious affairs” (Error 41) and that “The Church ought to be separated from the State” (Error 55). Yet the USCCB explicitly calls for a shared responsibility among “the Church, the government, labor unions, civil society groups, and corporations”—a practical realization of the condemned separation and subordination of the Church to the secular order.
The Idolatry of Technology and the “Tower of Babel” Rhetoric as Diversion
The statement’s treatment of Artificial Intelligence reveals the conciliar sect’s obsession with the creature rather than the Creator. Fabre warns against AI creating “new forms of exclusion,” “de-skilling,” “surveillance,” and “concentrated power,” echoing the antipope’s warning against a “new Tower of Babel.” This is a calculated diversion. The true Tower of Babel is the conciliar church itself: a human construction attempting to reach heaven by its own lights, confusing tongues through the novus ordo liturgy, false ecumenism, and religious liberty. The document’s focus on AI ethics, “exploitative supply chains,” and “low-wage workers” serves to obscure the only true crisis: the apostasy of the hierarchy and the loss of the Faith. As the False Fatima Apparitions analysis demonstrates, such messages “focus on external threats (communism), omitting the main danger: modernist apostasy within the Church.” Here, the external threat is technology; the internal apostasy is ignored. The statement does not warn that AI may be an instrument of the Antichrist’s reign (Apoc. 13:16-17), nor does it call for resistance to the beast system; it calls for “careful development” and “designing systems centered on the human person”—collaboration with the architects of the digital prison.
Invocation of Rerum Novarum and “Economic Justice for All” as Modernist Evolutionism
Fabre references Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum (1891) and the USCCB’s 1986 document Economic Justice for All, claiming “much of the teaching of this document remains relevant.” This is the heresy of Modernism condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis and Lamentabili Sane Exitu: the evolution of dogma and the adaptation of Catholic social teaching to the “signs of the times.” Proposition 58 of Lamentabili condemns: “Truth changes with man, because it develops with him, in him, and through him.” Proposition 59: “Christ did not proclaim any specific, all-encompassing doctrine suitable for all times and peoples, but rather initiated a certain religious movement, applied or applicable to different times and places.” The USCCB treats Rerum Novarum not as an immutable application of natural law and divine revelation to the social order, but as a starting point for a perpetual revolution in social doctrine culminating in the 1986 document—which itself is a product of the conciliar church’s capitulation to American liberalism and socialism. The Syllabus condemns Socialism and Communism (Section IV) and the error that “The teaching of the Catholic Church is hostile to the well-being and interests of society” (Error 40). Yet the USCCB’s rhetoric of “inclusive growth,” “protection for the vulnerable,” and partnership with unions and government is indistinguishable from the social doctrine of the Democratic Party or the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
The “Dignity of Work” as a Substitute for the Opus Dei and the Sacrifice of the Mass
The statement’s closing appeal—”let us be ‘builders of communion,’ ensuring that innovation and development is for the benefit of all… and that each person can contribute to the Kingdom of God through their work”—identifies the Kingdom of God with a humanly engineered socio-economic order. This is the cult of man condemned by Pius XI: “The state is happy not by one means, and man by another; for the state is nothing else than a harmonious association of men.” But the true happiness of the state and man is only in the Regnum Christi, which is the Catholic Church, extra quam nullus omnino salvatur. The USCCB’s “Kingdom of God” is a Masonic parody—a “city in which God and humanity dwell together” built by human hands, not the Civitas Dei founded on the Rock of Peter and the Blood of the Lamb. The document is silent on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacraments, the necessity of Baptism, the reality of Hell, the Final Judgment, and the Kingship of Christ over nations. This silence is the gravest accusation: it proves the USCCB is not a Catholic episcopal conference but an NGO of the conciliar sect, administering the temporal concerns of a false religion.
The Invalidity of the “Bishops” and the Nullity of Their Acts
Archbishop Fabre and the USCCB “bishops” derive their orders from the invalid sacramental rites of Paul VI (1968), conferred by consecrators who themselves lacked the intention to do what the Church does, within a rite that explicitly removed the essential form for the episcopate. As the Defense of Sedevacantism file establishes, a manifest heretic cannot hold office (Canon 188.4, 1917 Code); the “bishops” of the conciliar sect are not members of the Church, therefore they cannot be its pastors. St. Robert Bellarmine: “A non-Christian in no way can be Pope… he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian… therefore, a manifest heretic cannot be Pope.” The same principle applies to bishops. The USCCB statement is thus an act of usurpers, devoid of any ecclesiastical authority, binding no Catholic conscience. It is the voice of the synagogue of Satan (Apoc. 2:9; 3:9) masquerading as the Bride of Christ.
Conclusion: The Labor Day Message as a Symbol of the Conciliar Sect’s Spiritual Bankruptcy
This Labor Day message is not a pastoral exhortation but a political press release baptized in religious language. It exposes the neo-church for what it is: a paramasonic structure serving the globalist agenda, managing the transition to a technocratic totalitarianism under the guise of “human dignity” and “ethical AI.” True Catholics, adhering to the integral Faith prior to 1958, must reject this document entirely, recognizing in it the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:15). Our labor is not for “inclusive growth” but for the glory of God and the salvation of souls; our hope is not in “designing systems” but in the Social Reign of Christ the King, which the conciliar sect has betrayed and which the true Church, though eclipsed, preserves in the catacombs of Tradition. Non praevalebunt.
