The EWTN News portal reports that the conciliar “archbishop” of Santa Fe, John Wester, has issued a pastoral letter entitled Uniting for Our Sacred Waters, urging the faithful to develop an “appreciation for the gift of water” amid historic drought conditions in New Mexico. The letter cites the “pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) and his prayer intention for water, as well as the eco-encyclical Laudato Si’ of the apostate Jorge Bergoglio. Wester laments the depletion of the Elephant Butte Reservoir, demands “moral choices” for “equitable” resource distribution, and links water stewardship to nuclear disarmament advocacy through the “Partnership for a World Without Nuclear Weapons.” This document is not a Catholic pastoral letter but a Masonic ecological manifesto that reduces the Church’s divine mission to naturalistic resource management, substituting the social reign of Christ the King for the worship of creation.
Theological Perversion: Creatura Exalted Above Creator
The very title Uniting for Our Sacred Waters reveals the pantheistic rot at the core of the conciliar sect’s “theology.” Water is not “sacred” in itself; it is a creature, creatura, good because God made it so (Gen 1:10), but it possesses no intrinsic sacrality. The “archbishop” writes:
“Just as we share and celebrate the word of Christ, we share and celebrate the sacredness of water.”
This is blasphemous equivocation. The Verbum Dei is substantially divine; water is accidentally a sign of grace in the sacrament of Baptism. To place them on the same plane — “just as… so also” — is to commit the error of naturalism condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus (Error 3: “Human reason… is the sole arbiter of truth… it is law to itself”). The conciliar sect has replaced latria due to God alone with a dulia redirected toward the elements. This is the cultus creaturae St. Paul condemns: “Qui coluerunt et servierunt creaturam potius quam Creatori” (Rom 1:25).
Ecumenism of the Elements: The Laudato Si’ Heresy Operationalized
Wester explicitly cites Bergoglio’s Laudato Si’ — a document that constitutes a syngnomic synthesis of Modernist errors condemned by St. Pius X in Lamentabili Sane Exitu (Props. 22, 58, 59: dogmas as human interpretations; truth evolving with man; Christ initiating a mere “religious movement”). The “archbishop” echoes the encyclical’s pantheistic language: “kinship with our waters,” “oasis for the good of all.” This is not Catholic theology but Teilhardian evolutionism: matter divinized, the cosmos as pleroma. Pius XI in Quas Primas teaches that Christ’s Kingdom is “primarily spiritual” and “opposed only to the kingdom of Satan and the powers of darkness.” Wester’s kingdom is opposed to drought and plutonium. He has swapped the enemies of the soul for the enemies of the reservoir.
The Antipope’s Prayer Intention: A Masonic Litany
The article notes that “Pope Leo XIV issued a prayer intention for the care of water.” Robert Prevost, the current usurper of the See of Peter, continues the Bergoglian program of ecological ecumenism. His statement — “Entire communities and nations need our action and our prayer for the care of water” — reduces the Church’s munus regendi to NGO advocacy. The Syllabus (Error 55) condemns: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church.” Here, the Church is separated from Christ and yoked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The “prayer intention” is a Masonic ritual: the “pope” as high priest of the religion of humanity, blessing the global commons. St. Pius X warned in Pascendi that Modernists “aim at such a development of dogmas as appears to be their corruption.” The dogma of the Church’s supernatural mission has been corrupted into a mandate for water equity.
Nuclear Disarmament: The Pax Masonica Agenda
Wester’s “Partnership for a World Without Nuclear Weapons” — uniting “prelates” from Santa Fe, Seattle, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima — is a geopolitical tool of the synarchy. The “archbishop” calls nuclear weapons “immoral” and “genocidal” and warns against the concept of a “just nuclear war.” This is not the voice of the Church Militant but of the Church of the New Advent, which has abandoned just war theory (rooted in Augustine and Aquinas) for pacifist utopianism serving the Novus Ordo Seclorum. The Syllabus (Error 63) condemns: “It is lawful to refuse obedience to legitimate princes, and even to rebel against them.” The conciliar “bishops” refuse obedience to the legitimate Prince of Peace (Isa 9:6), preferring the prince of this world (Jn 12:31) who orchestrates controlled disarmament as a step toward world government. The Manhattan Project reference is telling: the conciliar sect laments the fruit while serving the root — the Masonic lodges that birthed both the Bomb and the aggiornamento.
Canon 188.4 and the Vacancy of the See
John Wester occupies the chair of Santa Fe by the grace of the conciliar sect, not by the grace of God. As a manifest adherent of the Modernist heresy (ecological pantheism, religious indifferentism, collegiality), he has ipso facto vacated any ecclesiastical office he might have held, per Canon 188.4 (1917 Code): “Every office becomes vacant by the mere fact and without any declaration… if the cleric… publicly defects from the Catholic faith.” Fr. McDevitt confirms: “Joining… a non-Catholic sect is not required to establish the publicity which the canon demands.” Wester has defected by embracing the neo-church’s false religion. Bellarmine teaches: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope… he cannot be the head of something of which he is not a member” (De Romano Pontifice 2:30). A fortiori, he cannot be a bishop. The “pastoral letter” is thus a private opinion of a layman, Mr. John Wester, devoid of any magisterial weight.
Silence on the Supernatural: The Gravest Accusation
Nowhere in the letter — nor in the EWTN report — is there mention of: sanctifying grace, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacraments, the Four Last Things, the conversion of sinners, the rights of Christ the King over nations, the condemnation of abortion, sodomy, or the Masonic infiltration of the Church. The Syllabus (Error 21) condemns: “The Church has not the power of defining dogmatically that the religion of the Catholic Church is the only true religion.” Wester’s silence is the definition: he acts as if the Church has no dogmatic mission. Pius XI thundered: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed” (Quas Primas, citing Ubi Arcano). Wester removes Christ from the waters and installs Gaia. This is not a pastoral letter; it is a declaration of apostasy.
EWTN: The Propaganda Arm of the Abomination of Desolation
The source, EWTN News, presents this Masonic manifesto as “Catholic news.” Daniel Payne, “senior editor,” transmits the “archbishop’s” words without a whisper of critique. This is the function of the conciliar media: to normalize the neo-church’s substitution of the City of God for the City of Man. The article’s closing — “I agree to receive communications from EWTN” — is the sigillum of the beast: a subscription to the false church’s newsletter. True Catholics must unsubscribe from the conciliar sect entirely, adhering to the immutable Tradition preserved by valid bishops and priests who know that “there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12) — not “water equity,” not “nuclear disarmament,” not “sacred waters,” but Jesus Christ the King.
Quas Primas stands as the eternal rebuke to this ecological idolatry: “If rulers of states… wish to maintain their authority inviolate and contribute to the increase of their homeland’s happiness,” they must “publicly honor Christ and obey Him.” Mr. Wester, Mr. Prevost, and the entire paramasonic structure occupying the Vatican have chosen Barabbas — the spirit of the world — over the King of Kings. Their reservoir is dry because they have forsaken the Fons Vitae (Ps 35:10). Ichabod: the glory has departed.
