Conciliar Sect’s Ecumenical Pilgrimage to Mount Athos: Apostasy Disguised as Unity
The Vatican News portal reports that on September 6–9, 2026, the “Apostolic Vicar of Northern Arabia,” “Bishop” Aldo Berardi, and the “Greek Catholic Metropolitan of Kuwait and Baghdad,” “Archbishop” Ghattas Hazim, jointly led a delegation of “Catholics and Orthodox Christians” on a pilgrimage to Mount Athos, the schismatic monastic republic under the jurisdiction of the “Ecumenical Patriarch” Bartholomew. The group visited twelve of the twenty monasteries, having received the “blessing” of the schismatic patriarch himself, an act hailed by Berardi as a “historic journey” manifesting “the good relationship between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches in Kuwait.” This grotesque spectacle of conciliar clergy venerating schismatic altars and seeking benediction from a heretical patriarch is not a step toward unity but the consummation of the great apostasy: the visible abandonment of the *extra Ecclesiam nulla salus* dogma and the enthronement of religious indifferentism as the new religion of the neo-church.
