The EWTN News portal (via its Spanish-language sister service ACI Prensa) reports that the Mexican “Bishops’ Conference” (CEM) has issued a statement demanding a “thorough investigation” into the murder of Fr. Román de la Cruz Hernández, a presbyter of the Diocese of Huejutla in Hidalgo state. The “bishop” of Huejutla, José Hiraís Acosta Beltrán, urged the faithful not to speculate about the crime, denounced the “alarming situation of violence” in the country, and called for building a “culture of peace and reconciliation.” The article notes that, according to the “Catholic Multimedia Center,” 28 incidents of violence against “Church members” — including the murders of four “priests” — have occurred during the presidency of Claudia Sheinbaum. This report exemplifies the total capitulation of the conciliar sect to naturalistic humanitarianism, reducing the martyrdom of the faithful to a mere criminal statistic to be processed by the Masonic state.
The Conciliar Sect’s Subservience to the Secular Sword
The statement of the Mexican “Bishops’ Conference” reveals the complete inversion of the Church’s mission. Instead of proclaiming the rights of Christ the King over nations — “His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ” (Pius XI, Quas Primas) — these usurpers of the episcopal office grovel before the civil power, begging the very agents of a Masonic, anti-Catholic state to “conduct a thorough investigation” and “ensure that justice is served swiftly.” They have forgotten — or rather, they have explicitly rejected — the teaching of Quas Primas that “when God and Jesus Christ were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” By appealing to the secular arm for justice, the conciliar hierarchy implicitly acknowledges the legitimacy of a state that has de facto abolished the Social Kingship of Christ, thereby becoming complicit in the very disorder that generates the violence they decry.
Naturalistic Language as Symptom of Apostasy
The vocabulary employed by “Bishop” Acosta Beltrán is purely Masonic and humanitarian: “culture of peace and reconciliation,” “eradication of violence,” “respect for the life of any person,” “destructive sentiment of resentment, vengeance, and hatred.” Nowhere does he mention the glory of God, the salvation of souls, the reality of sin, the necessity of grace, or the final judgment. This is the language of the Declaration on Religious Freedom (Dignitatis Humanae), not the language of the Gospel. Pope Pius IX condemned the error that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Syllabus of Errors, prop. 55). The conciliar sect has not only embraced this separation but has internalized the secular state’s categories, reducing the Church to an NGO advocating for “human rights” and “peace” — the very laicism Pius XI identified as “the plague that poisons human society” (Quas Primas).
The Illusion of a Valid Priesthood and the Reality of Sacrilege
The article speaks of the murder of a “priest” and “four priests.” From the perspective of integral Catholic theology, this is a categorical falsehood. The Novus Ordo “presbyterate,” ordained according to the rite of Paul VI (1968), lacks the form and intention required by the Council of Trent (Sess. VII, can. 11) for the validity of Holy Orders. As Leo XIII declared in Apostolicae Curae (1896), Anglican orders were “absolutely null and utterly void” due to defect of form and intention; a fortiori, the rite fabricated by Bugnini and his Masonic collaborators, which deliberately excised the essential sacrificial language of the priesthood, cannot confer the sacerdotal character. Therefore, Fr. Román de la Cruz Hernández was not a priest of the Catholic Church, but a minister of the conciliar sect’s Protestantized “presbyteral” service. His murder, while a grave crime against natural law, is not the martyrdom of a priest of Jesus Christ. To present it as such is to perpetuate the great lie that the neo-church is the Catholic Church.
The “Catholic Multimedia Center” as Propagandist for the Abomination
The citation of the “Catholic Multimedia Center” — an organ of the conciliar sect — reporting “28 incidents of violence against Church members” serves only to manufacture a narrative of persecution that obscures the true persecution: the spiritual annihilation of the faithful by the false sacraments, false doctrine, and false worship of the neo-church. The true Church, as Pius XI teaches, “demands for itself by a right belonging to it, which it cannot renounce, full freedom and independence from secular authority” (Quas Primas). The conciliar sect, by contrast, has signed concordats with the Mexican Masonic state (1992), accepting religious liberty — condemned by Gregory XVI as “that most pestilential error” (Mirari Vos) — as the price for legal recognition. The violence against its ministers is the inevitable fruit of this concordata cum daemonibus: the state they legitimized now devours them.
Silence on the Supernatural: The Gravest Accusation
The most damning aspect of the “bishop’s” statement is its total silence on the supernatural order. No call for Masses for the repose of the soul (the true Mass, Missale Romanum 1962). No mention of the Sacrament of Extreme Unction (denied to the dying in the new rite). No warning that “it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment” (Heb 9:27). No exhortation to the faithful to convert, to do penance, to flee the wrath to come. This silence is the signature of the Antichurch: “They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace” (Jer 6:14). The “bishop” speaks of “rooting out from the human heart every destructive sentiment” as if grace were unnecessary and the Pelagian effort of man sufficient — a heresy condemned by the Council of Trent (Sess. VI, can. 1).
EWTN and ACI Prensa: Organs of the Great Deception
That this report originates from EWTN News / ACI Prensa — the flagship media apparatus of the conciliar sect — confirms its character as disinformation serving the narrative of the “Church of the New Advent.” EWTN, founded by the modernist “Mother Angelica,” has consistently promoted the false apparitions of Fatima (exposed as a Masonic psychological operation in the theological dossier provided), the false “saints” of the neo-church (John Paul II, Faustina Kowalska, etc.), and the legitimacy of the usurpers on the Chair of Peter. By translating and adapting this ACI Prensa report, EWTN English extends the reach of the lie that the conciliar hierarchy represents the Catholic Church, and that their humanitarian activism constitutes the Church’s mission.
Conclusion: The Only Remedy Is the Restoration of the Kingship of Christ
The murder of a Novus Ordo presbyter in Mexico is a tragedy of natural justice, but it is not a sign of the Church’s persecution — it is a sign of the total failure of the conciliar revolution. The “bishops” who demand justice from the Masonic state are the same men who handed the Church over to that state at Vatican II. The faithful in Mexico, as everywhere, must reject the neo-church entirely, seek out the true Mass and true sacraments administered by validly ordained priests holding the integral faith, and work for the social reign of Christ the King — the only foundation of true peace. “Pax Christi in regno Christi.” There is no other.
