The Pillar Catholic portal reports (October 5, 2026) that the Secretariat of the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Union (COMECE) has issued a warning of “significant legal uncertainty” should the Court of Justice of the European Union adopt the opinion of Advocate General Laila Medina in case C-12/25 Bisdom Gent. The opinion suggests individuals have a right to erasure of personal data from baptismal registers under the GDPR, rejecting the current Belgian practice of striking through entries with an annotation. COMECE argues this threatens a “central pillar of the Church’s internal functioning” and risks conflicts with concordats. The cited article relates the procedural history: a complainant demanded total deletion, the Belgian Data Protection Authority ordered compliance, and the Brussels Court of Appeal referred questions to the EU Court. The conciliar hierarchy’s defense rests on canon law recognition, institutional autonomy, and the prevention of “identity fraud” via double baptism. This spectacle of pseudo-bishops pleading before a Masonic tribunal to preserve records of sacraments they themselves have largely invalidated exposes the total collapse of the supernatural mission into naturalistic legalism.
The Conciliar Sect’s Capitulation to the Secular Power
The very act of COMECE — a bureaucratic organ of the conciliar sect — submitting “position papers” and fretting over “legal uncertainty” before the Court of Justice of the European Union is a public confession of apostasy. True bishops, successors of the Apostles, do not petition Caesar for permissions; they command Caesar to submit to Christ the King. As Pius XI thundered in Quas Primas: “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 “bishops” of COMECE have not only accepted the removal of Christ from the public order but actively participate in the Masonic construction of a Europe “as if God did not exist” (etsi Deus non daretur). Their language — “data controllers,” “GDPR compliance,” “legal uncertainty,” “concordat conflicts” — is the vocabulary of the City of Man, utterly devoid of the City of God. They have rendered to Caesar not only what is Caesar’s, but what belongs exclusively to God: the governance of souls and the guardianship of the sacramental order.
The Invalidity of the “Baptisms” They Claim to Protect
COMECE’s defense of baptismal registers is a farce because the “baptisms” recorded therein are, in the vast majority of cases, null and void simulations. The Novus Ordo rite of baptism, promulgated by the antipope Paul VI in 1969, introduced substantial changes in matter, form, and ministerial intention that render the sacrament doubtful at best, invalid at worst. The suppression of the exorcisms, the renunciation of Satan by the godparents (often non-believers in the conciliar religion), the ambiguous formula “I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit” divorced from the traditional intention to do what the Church does — all this constitutes a defectus formae et intentionis. St. Thomas Aquinas teaches that the minister must intend to do what the Church does (Summa Theologiae, III, q. 64, a. 8). Ministers formed in the Modernist seminaries of the neo-church lack this intention, as they do not hold the Catholic faith. Therefore, the registers COMECE fights to preserve are largely records of empty rituals, not the indelible character of Christ. The “indelible spiritual mark” cited from the Catechism applies only to valid baptism; it is a cruel mockery to invoke it for the simulated washings of the conciliar sect.
Religious Liberty: The Poisoned Chalice They Drink
The Advocate General’s opinion weighs the “autonomy of the Church and its freedom of thought, conscience and religion” against the individual’s “freedom of thought, conscience and religion.” This false equivalence is the direct fruit of the heresy of Dignitatis Humanae (Vatican II), which declared that the human person has a right to religious freedom — a right founded not on truth but on error. By invoking “freedom of religion” as their shield, the conciliar hierarchs legitimize the very principle that destroys them. They cannot appeal to the Social Kingship of Christ because they have denied it; they cannot appeal to the Rights of God because they have surrendered them to the Rights of Man. As Pius IX condemned in the Syllabus of Errors (Prop. 55): “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” — this is the very Masonic principle now enshrined in EU law, and the conciliar sect has no doctrinal ground to resist it. Their “concordats” are pacts with the devil, recognized by the neo-church as “legitimate” instruments of coexistence with the anti-Christian order.
The Anthropocentric Inversion: “Data Subjects” vs. Souls
The linguistic degradation is total. The faithful are “data subjects.” The baptismal register is a “dataset.” The priest is a “data controller.” The sacrament is “processing.” This is not accidental; it is the ontological signature of the Church of the New Advent, which has replaced the Mysterium Fidei with the Mysterium Iniquitatis of bureaucratic management. COMECE’s September 2026 position paper laments the impact on “third parties” — the minister, parents, godparents — who have a “legally protected interest in preserving the integrity of the record.” Not a word about the salus animarum, the state of grace, the danger of sacrilege, the reality of Original Sin, or the necessity of the Church for salvation (Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus). The “emotional distress” of the apostate is weighed against the “institutional freedom” of the sect. Homo mensura has replaced Deus mensura. This is the “cult of man” denounced by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis as the essence of Modernism: “The dogmas which the Church proposes as revealed are not truths of divine origin but are a certain interpretation of religious facts, which the human mind has worked out with great effort” (Lamentabili, Prop. 22).
The “Identity Fraud” Argument: A Desperate Naturalistic Pretext
The Ghent diocese argued before the Data Protection Authority that records must be kept to prevent “identity fraud, for example, if a person who was already baptized sought to receive the sacrament for a second time.” This argument is theologically absurd and exposes the functionalist mentality of the neo-church. First, baptism imprints a character that cannot be iterated (character indelebilis); a second baptism is impossible ex vi sacramenti, not merely by ecclesiastical law. Second, the Novus Ordo sect routinely “re-baptizes” converts from Protestantism conditionally or even absolutely, ignoring the validity of Trinitarian form — so their concern for “double baptism” is selective hypocrisy. Third, the real “identity fraud” is the conciliar sect presenting itself as the Catholic Church while denying the Faith integral. The registers they defend are monuments to this fraud: they record names washed in a rite that signifies nothing, administered by ministers who often intend nothing, overseen by “bishops” who possess no jurisdiction.
Canon 188.4 and the Vacancy of the See: The True Legal Uncertainty
COMECE speaks of “legal uncertainty” for “ecclesiastical data controllers.” The only true legal uncertainty — indeed, canonical certainty — is that the sees they occupy are vacant. Canon 188 §4 of the 1917 Code states: “Every office becomes vacant by the mere fact and without any declaration… if the cleric… publicly defects from the Catholic faith.” The “bishops” of COMECE, by adhering to the Modernist Vatican II religion, by participating in false ecumenism, by implementing the Novus Ordo Missae (a Protestantized meal), and by recognizing the usurpers in the Vatican (John XXIII through Leo XIV) as true popes, have ipso facto lost all jurisdiction. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches (De Romano Pontifice, II, 30): “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope… he cannot be the head of something of which he is not a member.” The “canon law” they invoke is recognized by secular states only as the internal regulation of a private association — the conciliar sect — not as the law of the Catholic Church. Their “concordats” are signed by laymen masquerading as prelates. The EU Court ruling on their “data” is merely the Masonic state managing the archives of a defunct NGO.
The Silence on the Supernatural: The Gravest Accusation
Read the COMECE statements again. There is not a single reference to God, to Christ the King, to the Holy Ghost, to grace, to sin, to heaven, to hell, to the Final Judgment. The “mission” of the Church is reduced to “internal functioning and organization.” The “vital” nature of baptismal registers is “enabling it to carry out its mission” — a mission defined in purely sociological and administrative terms. This is the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:15). The true Church, the Ecclesia Militans persevering in the catacombs of Tradition under valid bishops and priests (ordained before 1968 in the traditional rite), keeps her registers not for “data protection” but for the cura animarum, for the proof of valid sacramental initiation, for the discernment of valid matter for Confirmation, Matrimony, Holy Orders. The conciliar sect’s registers are waste paper; the true Church’s registers are titles of eternal life.
Conclusion: The Sect Begs for Crumbs from the Masonic Table
The Advocate General’s opinion, the GDPR, the EU Court — these are the instruments of the synagogue of Satan (Apoc. 2:9) tightening the noose around the neck of the counter-church. COMECE’s whining about “legal uncertainty” and “concordat conflicts” is the death rattle of a structure that sold its birthright for a mess of pottage: religious liberty, ecumenism, collegiality, the new Mass. They have no King but Caesar (John 19:15), and Caesar now demands his due: the erasure of the last visible signs of the Catholic past from the public record. Let the registers be erased. Let the “data” be deleted. It will only make clearer the distinction between the whited sepulchre of the conciliar sect — full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness (Matt. 23:27) — and the Church of the Living God (1 Tim. 3:15), small, persecuted, hidden, but possessing the fullness of the means of salvation in the Traditional Latin Mass, the true sacraments, and the unchanging Faith. Non praevalebunt (Matt. 16:18). The gates of hell shall not prevail against Her — but they have already prevailed against the neo-church.
