The EWTN News portal reports that the conciliar “bishops” of Colorado — “Archbishop” James Golka, “Auxiliary Bishop” Jorge Rodriguez, “Bishop” Stephen Berg, and “diocesan administrator” “Fr.” Kyle Ingels — joined with Protestant ministers to issue a letter titled “A Pilgrim People, A Shared Hope” on the feast of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the Masonic United States’ independence. The document reduces the Catholic Faith to a vague humanitarianism, invoking “human dignity,” “common good,” and “fair legal processes” while maintaining a studious silence on the Social Kingship of Christ, the necessity of the Church for salvation, and the duty of nations to profess the true Religion. This is not pastoral solicitude; it is the final betrayal of the episcopal office into the service of the Civitas Diaboli masquerading as the Civitas Humana.
The Ecumenical Abomination: Communicatio in Sacris with Heretics
The very signature block of this letter constitutes a formal act of apostasy from the unity of the Faith. By signing a joint statement with “several other Christian leaders across denominations,” these conciliar prelates publicly profess indifferentism, the condemned heresy that “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Pius IX, Syllabus of Errors, Prop. 18). St. Pius X teaches in Lamentabili Sane Exitu (Prop. 55) that the Church’s organic structure is not subject to evolution; yet these men treat the Church as one “denomination” among many, collaborating in a pan-Christian NGOs project. This is the ecumenism condemned by Pius XI in Mortalium Animos (1928): a “federation of Christians” which “would be tantamount to abandoning the religion revealed by God.” The letter’s title — “A Shared Hope” — reveals the Modernist error that hope is a generic human sentiment rather than the theological virtue anchored exclusively in the Unam Sanctam.
Naturalistic Reductionism: The Gospel According to the United Nations
Read the letter closely: “We remember with respect the Indigenous peoples… those brought here through slavery… generations of immigrants and refugees who arrived carrying their faith, cultures, hopes, and gifts.” Not a word of supernatural faith, of baptism, of the state of grace, of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The contributions of immigrants are cataloged in purely temporal categories: “agriculture, business, science, medicine, technology,” “mines and fields,” “hospitals,” “civic and religious life.” This is the laicism (secularism) explicitly condemned by Pius XI in Quas Primas: “The Church’s authority to teach men, to issue laws, to govern nations… was denied. And then, slowly, the Christian religion began to be equated with other false religions and shamelessly placed in the same category.” These “bishops” function as chaplains to the Masonic State, baptizing the secularist ideology of “human rights” and “inclusion” with holy water stolen from the fonts of the True Church.
The Silence of the Shepherds: Non Praedicaverunt Christum Regem
Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King precisely as a remedy against this plague: “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.” (Quas Primas, citing Ubi Arcano). The Colorado letter mentions “national sovereignty and border security” but grounds them in “human dignity” and “the common good” — Masonic slogans stripped of their theological root. There is no recognition that Christ is “King of kings and Lord of lords” (Apoc. 19:16), that “all power in heaven and on earth is given to Him” (Matt. 28:18), and that “His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ” (Quas Primas, citing Leo XIII, Annum Sacrum). By omitting the Rights of God and the Kingship of Christ, these men side with the Syllabus errors: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Prop. 55) and “The civil law prevails” over divine law (Prop. 42).
Invalid Ministers of a Vacant See: The Sedevacantist Reality
These signatories hold no jurisdiction in the Catholic Church. As demonstrated by the theological consensus of Bellarmine, John of St. Thomas, Wernz-Vidal, and Cardinal Billot (Defense of Sedevacantism file), a manifest heretic loses the papacy ipso facto (“by that very fact ceases to be Pope and head… by which things he may be judged and punished by the Church”). The line of usurpers beginning with John XXIII — culminating in the current antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) — has promulgated the heresies of Vatican II (Dignitatis Humanae, Unitatis Redintegratio, Nostra Aetate), which contradict the Syllabus, Quas Primas, Pascendi, and Lamentabili. Consequently, the “ordinations” post-1968 (using the invalid Paul VI rite) are doubtful at best, null at worst. Golka, Rodriguez, Berg, Ingels: you are laymen masquerading as successors of the Apostles. Your “letters” have no more canonical weight than a Rotary Club resolution. Can. 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.” You have defected by embracing the conciliar revolution.
St. Cabrini Prostituted for the Civitas Terrena
St. Frances Xavier Cabrini (canonized 1946 by Pius XII) founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart to bring the Catholic Faith to immigrants — not to celebrate their “cultures” as ends in themselves. She labored for the salus animarum, knowing that “there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). The conciliar letter weaponizes her patronage to advance a naturalistic agenda: “build friendships across differences of language, culture and nationality.” This is the fraternité of the French Revolution, not the caritas of the Cross. The true St. Cabrini would weep to see her feast day used to legitimize the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:15).
The Lawsuit in St. Louis: Hypocrisy of the Conciliar “Church”
The article notes the “Archdiocese of St. Louis” suing for “priests” to minister to detainees. This is the same structure that implemented the Novus Ordo, altar girls, communion in the hand, and the Assisi abominations. They demand “religious liberty” (a Syllabus error, Prop. 15, 77, 79) only when it serves their humanitarian brand. They do not sue for the right to teach the Catechism of Trent, to offer the Traditional Latin Mass exclusively, or to denounce the Masonic foundations of the US Constitution. They sue for access — to administer the sacraments of a rite they have emptied of propitiatory theology. “He who has departed from the faith with such preaching cannot depose or remove anyone” (Pope Celestine I on Nestorius, cited in Defense of Sedevacantism). These “priests” have no jurisdiction; their “ministry” is a simulation.
Conclusion: Return to the Integral Faith or Perish
The letter from Colorado is a manifesto of the Church of the New Advent: a paramasonic structure dedicated to the cult of man. It offers the faithful stones for bread (Matt. 7:9) — temporal “justice,” “mercy,” “fair process” — while withholding the Bread of Life (John 6:35), which is the doctrine of Christ the King. Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus. No “human dignity” saves; only the Precious Blood of Christ applied through the True Sacraments administered by valid priests under true bishops in communion with the Roman Pontiff (who has not reigned since 1958). Faithful Catholics: flee these hirelings (John 10:12-13). Seek the Tradition preserved in the catacombs of the Sedevacantist resistance. Instaurare Omnia in Christo — not in the Masonic “America 250.”
