The EWTN News portal reports the episcopal ordination of Father Stephen Wang as the sixth “bishop” of the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton in England on October 19, 2026. The ceremony, presided over by the nuncio of the usurper “Pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), Archbishop Miguel Maury Buendía, featured the conspicuous participation of representatives from Muslim, Jewish, and Hindu traditions alongside “Christian” denominations. Wang, a convert and former rector of the Venerable English College in Rome, adopted the motto Veritas in Caritate and emphasized a vague “mission of truth and love” devoid of any reference to the Social Kingship of Christ or the necessity of the Catholic Church for salvation. This spectacle manifests the total apostasy of the conciliar sect from the integral Catholic faith, replacing the Divine Mandate to teach all nations with a naturalistic parody of interreligious dialogue.
Invalid Orders and the Usurpation of Jurisdiction
The very foundation of this event is null and void. The ordination was performed by a nuncio of the antipope Leo XIV, who himself occupies the See of Peter ipso facto vacant by reason of manifest heresy. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches, “a Pope who is a manifest heretic, by that very fact ceases to be Pope and head, just as he ceases to be a Christian and member of the body of the Church” (De Romano Pontifice). The line of usurpers beginning with John XXIII has publicly professed the heresies of religious liberty, false ecumenism, and collegiality, condemned by the Syllabus of Pius IX and the encyclicals of St. Pius X. Consequently, all appointments, ordinations, and acts of governance flowing from this counterfeit hierarchy are devoid of canonical mission and sacramental validity. The 1968 Pontifical of Paul VI (Montini), used for this ordination, mutilated the essential form and intention for the episcopate, rendering the rite doubtfully valid at best, invalid in reality. Ex defectu formae, sacramentum non fit (from defect of form, the sacrament is not made).
The Scandal of Interreligious Indifferentism
The presence of Muslim, Jewish, and Hindu representatives at a putatively Catholic episcopal ordination is not a gesture of “dialogue” but a public act of apostasy and idolatry. The Syllabus of Pius IX explicitly condemns the proposition that “Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation” (Error 16) and that “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Error 18). By placing false religions on equal footing with the One True Faith, the conciliar sect violates the First Commandment and the dogma Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus. This is the abomination of desolation foretold by Daniel and Our Lord, standing in the holy place where the Holy Sacrifice should be offered. The “bishop” Wang’s silence on the necessitas medii (necessity of the means) — the Church and her sacraments — confirms his adhesion to the Masonic project of a universal naturalistic religion.
Veritas in Caritate: A Modernist Slogan Masking Doctrinal Vacuity
The chosen motto, Veritas in Caritate (Eph 4:15), is wrenched from its context to serve the conciliar hermeneutic of “dialogue” and “accompaniment.” In the mouth of a man formed in the post-conciliar seminaries and the “Sycamore” program — a product of the new evangelization which dilutes the depositum fidei into vague spiritualities — this phrase means truth subordinated to sentiment, dogma dissolved into “encounter.” True charity rejoices in the truth (1 Cor 13:6), which is the unchangeable doctrine of Christ (Heb 13:8). The article notes Wang’s “personal faith journey” and an icon guiding his “vocation,” centering the narrative on subjective experience — the hallmark of Modernist immanentism condemned in Lamentabili Sane Exitu (Prop. 20: “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God”). There is no mention of the Cross, of sin, of judgment, of the Mass as Propitiatory Sacrifice, or of the Kingship of Christ over nations.
Usurpation of the Social Kingship of Christ
Pius XI in Quas Primas declares: “His reign encompasses not only Catholic nations… but His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ.” The conciliar sect, by its very structure, denies this Kingship in the temporal order, substituting it with “religious freedom” and “secularity” — errors condemned in the Syllabus (Errors 55, 77-79). The participation of civil and religious authorities of false sects at the installation of a “bishop” signifies the capitulation of the ecclesiastical power to the civil power, the very essence of the liberalism anathematized by Pius IX and St. Pius X. Wang’s “mission of truth and love” is a mission of the Kingdom of Man, not the Kingdom of Christ.
The Venerable English College: A Seminary of the Neo-Church
Wang’s tenure as rector of the Venerable English College (2021-2026) reveals the institutional rot. This seminary, once a bastion of orthodoxy and martyrdom, has been transformed into a factory for the new priesthood — men formed in the novus ordo liturgy, the hermeneutic of rupture, and the theology of “encounter.” The licentiates from the Pontifical Gregorian University, the epicenter of Modernist theology since the 1960s, certify not Catholic formation but indoctrination into the synthesis of all heresies. The “Sycamore” program, launched in 2014, exemplifies the catechesis of the conciliar sect: therapeutic, anthropocentric, silent on mortification, hell, the papal monarchy, and the rights of God.
Symptomatic Level: The Conciliar Revolution’s Logical Terminus
This event is not an anomaly; it is the necessary fruit of Vatican II. The “bishop” appointed by an antipope, ordained by a doubtful rite, installed amid pagan religions, preaching a gospel of vague benevolence — this is the Church of the New Advent in its essence. It fulfills the Masonic plan outlined in the Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita: to elect a “pope” who will “preach a revolution in the Church” under the guise of “charity.” The silence on Fatima (a Masonic operation), the acceptance of the “canonizations” of heretics (John Paul II, John XXIII, Paul VI), the collaboration with the “Abrahamic Family House” agenda — all converge in this ordination. The paramasonic structure occupying the Vatican has produced its perfect specimen: a “bishop” for the abomination of desolation.
Conclusion: No Communion with the Usurpers
No Catholic may recognize this ordination, this “bishop,” or the authority that appointed him. Cum ex Apostolatus Officio (Paul IV) declares the promotion of a heretic “null, void, and of no effect.” The faithful in Arundel and Brighton, and throughout England, are bound by divine law to withdraw from the conciliar sect’s structures, seek the true Mass and Sacraments from priests of unquestionable validity (ordained before 1968 or conditionally re-ordained), and profess the integral Faith without compromise. Non praevalebunt (Mt 16:18) — the gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church of Christ, which subsists in the remnant clinging to Tradition, not in the glittering counterfeit enthroned in West Sussex.
