EWTN News, the flagship propaganda organ of the conciliar sect, publishes a “World News Roundup” (September 12, 2026) that reads like a manifesto of the neo-church’s total surrender to the spirit of the world: a cancer-stricken daughter of a liberal activist finds “redemptive suffering” devoid of the Cross; Iraq erects a colossal Marian monument as a tourist attraction; the conciliar hierarchy in Belfast opens “canonization causes” for priests killed by British soldiers, confusing political victimhood with martyrdom; a Canadian doctor is crushed by the secular tribunal for a tepid objection to chemical castration; Syria’s Saydnaya pivots to “religious tourism” and “environmental projects”; the Vatican’s UN envoy begs for nuclear disarmament while ignoring the Kingship of Christ; Polish “St. Charbel communities” diagnose activism but remain within the apostate structure; and Lebanon’s Maronite patriarch blesses collective weddings as an “act of faith in the future.”
This curated assemblage exposes the conciliar sect not as the Church Militant, but as a paramasonic NGO managing the ruins of Christendom.
The Linguistic Camouflage of Apostasy: “Faith” Reduced to Therapeutic Resilience
The report on Claire Lai is emblematic of the conciliar sect’s anthropocentric inversion. She states: “Our Christian faith teaches — and my father bears witness — that suffering can be redemptive. Mine is but a fraction of my father’s, but I hope to bear it as a grace as well as he has.” Notice the shift: suffering is not redemptive in Christo, through participation in the Sacrifice of Calvary offered in the Unbloody Sacrifice by a valid priesthood; it is a generic “grace” witnessed by a father who is a liberal activist, not a confessor of the Faith. The phrase “Christian faith teaches” is a Protestantized, content-less placeholder. Where is the mention of the Most Holy Sacrifice, the Sacraments, the state of grace, Purgatory, Indulgences? Nowhere. This is the religio naturalis condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus (Error #58): “No other forces are to be recognized except those which reside in matter… and the gratification of pleasure.” Here, spiritual force is reduced to psychological “resilience” and “optimism.” The “faith” of the neo-church is a coping mechanism, not the virtus theologica by which we assent to Deus revelans.
Idolatry of Stone and Tourism: The Iraqi Marian Monument as Naturalistic Syncretism
The report on the “largest Marian shrine in Iraq” in Inishke reveals the conciliar sect’s true liturgy: religious tourism and cultural heritage. The statue is designed with “Middle Eastern features,” Mary’s braids represent “Iraqi mothers and grandmothers,” the base mimics the “spiral form of Samarra’s famous minaret and ancient Mesopotamian architecture.” This is not the Cultus Duliae due to the Mother of God; it is religious syncretism and archaeological idolatry. The project is “funded by donations from people from Inishke around the world” and “expected to become a new destination for religious tourism in northern Iraq.” Peregrinatio religiosa has been replaced by turismus religiosus. Pius XI in Quas Primas teaches: “The state must leave the same freedom to the members of Orders and Congregations… who are indeed the most valiant helpers of the Pastors of the Church and contribute most to the expansion and establishment of Christ’s Kingdom, either by combating the triple concupiscence of the world through religious vows…” Here, the “Kingdom” is a 59-foot statue serving as a landmark for a “Chaldean village” that has likely embraced the conciliar errors of false ecumenism with Islam and the world. The “chapel inside the base” is a simulacrum; without a valid priesthood and the True Mass, it is a profane space, a museum piece for the abomination of desolation.
Invalid “Canonizations” by Usurpers: Political Martyrs Replace Saints
The opening of “canonization causes” for Fathers Hugh Mullan and Noel Fitzpatrick by the “Diocese of Down and Connor” under “Bishop” Alan McGuckian is a canonical nullity and a theological fraud. “Canonization” is an act of the Supreme Pontiff exercising the charisma of infallibility in matters of faith and morals, declaring a soul enjoys the Beatific Vision and proposing them for universal veneration. Since the See of Peter has been vacant since 1958 (the death of Pius XII), and the line of usurpers beginning with John XXIII are manifest heretics who have ipso facto lost all jurisdiction (St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice; Wernz-Vidal, Ius Canonicum; Canon 188.4, 1917 Code; Cum ex Apostolatus Officio), no valid canonization process can exist. These priests were killed “administering last rites” in 1970s Belfast. The inquest found soldiers “lost control.” “Bishop” McGuckian calls this “restores dignity to the deceased, and it brings a measure of justice to those who grieve.” This is pure naturalism. Justice for a Catholic is the Social Kingship of Christ (Pius XI, Quas Primas); “dignity” is the state of grace. To equate political victimhood with martyrdom (death for the Faith out of hatred of the Faith) is to profane the very concept of sanctity. It is the conciliar sect’s new hagiography: social activism and victimhood replace heroic virtue.
The Canadian Inquisition: Religious Liberty as a Trap for the Faithful
The case of Dr. Henry Ajaero, fined $28,100 by a “Canadian human rights tribunal” for refusing puberty blockers, exposes the fatal error of Dignitatis Humanae and the conciliar sect’s capitulation to the civitas terrena. The tribunal ruled: “this context is an explanation for Dr. Ajaero’s decision, but it does not justify his decision to deny medical services to a vulnerable trans youth because of her gender identity.” The doctor claimed it was “outside the scope of his practice” and against his “religious beliefs.” The tribunal dismissed the religious claim. This is the inevitable fruit of the condemned proposition (Syllabus, 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.” And Error #78: “Hence it has been wisely decided by law, in some Catholic countries, that persons coming to reside therein shall enjoy the public exercise of their own peculiar worship.” The conciliar sect demanded “religious freedom” for error; now the State uses that same principle to coerce the few remaining conscientious objectors into compliance with the cult of Moloch (gender ideology). Dr. Ajaero’s defense was weak (“busy day,” “scope of practice”) because the conciliar “formation” produces men who cannot articulate the Natural Law or the Divine Positive Law condemning the mutilation of children. They speak the language of “conscience” (subjective) rather than Veritas (objective). Error #15 Syllabus: “Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true.” The State now defines what “religious belief” is valid. The conciliar “bishop” of that diocese is silent; the “pope” Leo XIV is silent. They have no authority, only the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place.
Saydnaya: From City of Saints to “Religious Tourism” and “Environmental Projects”
The report on Saydnaya, Syria, is a portrait of the conciliar sect’s “pastoral care” reduced to NGO management. Researcher Elias Azar works on a “nonprofit initiative to preserve the city’s history while developing religious tourism, environmental projects, traditional agriculture, and local media.” “Religious tourism” is the antithesis of peregrinatio pro causa Dei. The city has “lost about half of its Christian population since 2011,” yet “remains a Christian-majority city.” Residents want “greater security… essential to protecting daily life and Saydnaya’s place as a major Christian pilgrimage destination.” There is zero mention of the Mass, the Sacraments, conversion of Muslims, the Kingship of Christ over Syria, or the duty of the State to profess the Catholic Faith (Syllabus, Errors #19, #20, #21, #39, #55, #77). It is pure laicism and naturalism. The “icon of Mary” processed is a prop for a cultural festival. The “Marian celebrations” are folklore. Pius XI warned: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed… the entire human society had to be shaken.” (Quas Primas). Saydnaya is shaken because the conciliar sect has removed Christ the King.
The Vatican at the UN: Pacifism Without the Prince of Peace
“Monsignor” Robert Murphy, “chargé d’affaires of the Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations,” calls for “renewed international commitment to ending nuclear weapons testing.” He laments: “The suffering caused by nuclear testing should have reinforced the common conviction that peace cannot be preserved by developing ever more destructive weapons.” He cites “renewed reliance on nuclear deterrence” and “aggressive nuclear rhetoric.” He demands the “Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.” This is the pacifism of the world, not the Peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ (Quas Primas). “Peace is the tranquility of order” (Tranquillitas ordinis – St. Augustine, De Civitate Dei XIX.13). True order is subordination to God’s Law. The conciliar sect’s UN envoys never mention Christ the King, the Social Reign of the Sacred Heart, the duty of nations to worship God publicly (Syllabus, Error #55: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” – CONDEMNED). They speak the language of Masonic internationalism (“international norm,” “common conviction”). Nuclear weapons are a symptom; apostasy is the cause. The “Holy See” mission is a diplomatic fiction serving the paramasonic structure occupying the Vatican.
Activism vs. Contemplation: The Conciliar “Charbel” Simulation
The “sixth national gathering of St. Charbel communities in Poland” asks: “Can people become so occupied with religious activities that they leave little time for God?” “Father” Fabio M. Lattouf warns against “replacing a personal relationship with God with a search only for inner peace, constant Church activities, or an endless stream of religious content.” “Bishop” Andrzej Siemieniewski points to St. Charbel’s “long hours of silence before the Eucharist.” This is a limited hangout. They diagnose the activism of the conciliar sect (which they are) but offer the same invalid “Eucharist” (Novus Ordo Missae, invalid form, invalid matter, invalid priesthood post-1968) as the remedy. St. Charbel (canonized 1977 by the usurper Paul VI, hence dubious) is held up as a model of “silence before the Eucharist” – but in the conciliar sect, the “Eucharist” is a memorial meal at a table of assembly, not the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary. “Silence” before a symbol is not adoration; it is idolatry or meditation. The critique of “religious content” and “activities” is valid, but the proposed solution remains within the neo-church, the Church of the New Advent. Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus. No valid Sacraments, no grace, no contemplation.
Collective Weddings in Lebanon: “Act of Faith in the Future” Not in God
The Maronite “Patriarch” “Cardinal” Bechara Boutros Rai presides over the “17th collective wedding” at Bkerke. He tells 26 couples that forming a family in difficult circumstances is an “act of faith in the future” and prays for homes marked by “love, fidelity, forgiveness, faith, and peace.” Fides in futurum is not Fides Catholica. Marriage is a Sacrament signifying the union of Christ and the Church (Eph. 5:32), contracted before a valid priest and two witnesses, for the procreation and education of children and the mutual sanctification of the spouses. “Collective weddings” organized by a “League” to “help young Lebanese couples establish families despite growing financial pressures” reduce the Sacrament to a social welfare program. “404 families, 521 children” are statistics for an NGO report. The “Patriarch” prays for “love, fidelity, forgiveness” – natural virtues – but omits the supernatural end: holiness, salvation of souls, the Kingship of Christ in the home. This is the cult of man condemned in Lamentabili Sane Exitu (Prop. #59: “Christ did not proclaim any specific, all-encompassing doctrine suitable for all times and peoples, but rather initiated a certain religious movement…”). The conciliar “Maronite Church” (in communion with the usurpers) has become a social service agency for a dying demographic.
Systemic Diagnosis: The Conciliar Sect as the “Abomination of Desolation”
This “World News Roundup” is a mosaic of the Great Apostasy (2 Thess. 2:3). Every item reveals the same ontology:
1. **Anthropocentrism:** Man’s suffering, man’s tourism, man’s justice, man’s rights, man’s future.
2. **Naturalism:** Supernatural ends (Heaven, Grace, Sacraments, Kingship of Christ) are absent or reduced to metaphors.
3. **False Ecumenism/Interreligious Dialogue:** Iraqi shrine mimics minarets; Syrian “pilgrimage” ignores Islamic supremacy; UN pacifism ignores Christ’s Kingship over nations.
4. **Invalid Jurisdiction:** “Canonizations” by heretics; “Bishops” ordained in the invalid Pontificale Romanum of 1968; “Priests” simulating the Mass.
5. **Capitulation to the Secular Power:** Canadian doctor crushed; UN begging treaties; Lebanese “Patriarch” managing demographics.
The Syllabus (Error #80) condemns: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization.” The conciliar “popes” have done exactly this. The result is the EWTN news feed: a curated stream of irrelevance and capitulation.
“You are Christ the King of glory!” sang the faithful in 1925 (Quas Primas). Today, the conciliar sect sings the praises of “religious tourism,” “human rights tribunals,” “nuclear test ban treaties,” and “acts of faith in the future.” Non est hic Christus. The true Church endures in the catacombs, in the True Mass, in the bishops and priests who keep the Tradition entire, rejecting the abomination of desolation and awaiting the Parousia. Viva Cristo Rey!
