EWTN News, the flagship media organ of the conciliar sect, reports that at least six people were killed and twenty-eight wounded when unidentified gunmen opened fire Friday during a funeral at a Greek Orthodox church in the village of Hamoud, Karak province, Jordan. The account, sourced from ACI MENA (the Arabic-language sister service of EWTN), frames the incident as an attack on “Christians in the Middle East,” quoting local security officials and a Reuters witness. Jordanian authorities have not identified the perpetrators or a motive. The article concludes with links to related pieces on the conciliar sect’s “legal options for Christian families” in Jordan and the “baptism site” as a “living place.” This report is not journalism; it is ecumenical propaganda that instrumentalizes the blood of schismatics to legitimize the conciliar sect’s betrayal of the Social Kingship of Christ and the necessity of the Catholic Church for salvation.
The Conciliar Media Apparatus Manufactures False Martyrdom
The article originates from EWTN News, a network founded by the modernist “Mother Angelica” and fully integrated into the structures of the neo-church occupying the Vatican. Its reporting serves one master: the hermeneutic of continuity that seeks to blur the distinction between the Una, Sancta, Catholica et Apostolica Ecclesia and the myriad heretical and schismatic sects. By headlining “gunmen open fire in church” and categorizing the victims under “Christians in the Middle East,” EWTN performs a liturgical act of the new religion: the canonization of the non-Catholic dead as “martyrs” for a generic “Christianity” that does not exist. There is no salvation outside the Catholic Church (Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus); to imply otherwise by treating a Greek Orthodox temple as a “church” and its attendees as “Christians” in the theological sense is a crime against the First Commandment and the dogmatic definition of the Fourth Lateran Council.
The Greek Orthodox are formal schismatics, separated from the Chair of Peter since 1054, rejecting the Filioque, papal primacy, and the Immaculate Conception. Their “divine liturgies” are, objectively, simulacra of the True Sacrifice, lacking valid orders (by the judgment of Apostolicae Curae) and, more fundamentally, the intentio faciendi quod facit Ecclesia united to the Roman Pontiff. Pope Pius IX, in the Syllabus of Errors (1864), condemned the proposition that “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Error 18); the same condemnation applies a fortiori to Eastern schism. EWTN’s refusal to name the sectarian identity of the building and the victims is a deliberate act of theological fraud.
Naturalistic Framing Obscures the Supernatural Reality
The article is steeped in laicism — the very plague Pius XI identified in Quas Primas (1925) as “the secularism of our times, so-called laicism, its errors and wicked endeavors.” The report treats the event as a criminal statistic: casualties, suspects, security deployments, official statements. There is not a single word on the state of the souls of the deceased, the necessity of baptism of water for salvation, the horror of dying outside the Ark of the Church, or the duty of Catholics to pray for the conversion of schismatics. This silence is the loudest heresy. It reduces the Church’s mission from salus animarum to humanitarian advocacy.
Pius XI taught: “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). The victims in Hamoud were subjects of Christ the King by nature and by baptism (if validly baptized), but rebels by schism. True charity demands we proclaim: “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). EWTN offers instead the “dialogue” condemned by Pius IX: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Syllabus, Error 55) — here transmuted into “the Church ought to be separated from the Truth.”
Ecumenism as Betrayal of the Social Kingship of Christ
The related articles linked at the bottom — “Jordan’s Church leaders back bill expanding legal options for Christian families” and “Christ’s baptism site must remain living place” — reveal the conciliar sect’s true agenda: the reduction of the Kingdom of Christ to a network of NGOs negotiating “personal status laws” and managing tourist sites. This is the reign of man masquerading as the reign of Christ. Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King precisely to combat this: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed… the entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation” (Quas Primas, citing Ubi Arcano).
The “Greek Orthodox church” in Hamoud is not an embassy of Christ the King; it is a fortress of the synagogue of Satan (Apoc. 2:9; 3:9) — those who say they are Jews (the People of God) and are not, but lie. For EWTN to mourn its desecration without proclaiming the urgency of reunion with Rome is to crucify Christ afresh in the person of His schismatic members (Heb. 6:6), confirming them in their error unto damnation.
The Symptomatic Level: Fruit of the Conciliar Revolution
This reporting is the inevitable fruit of Vatican II‘s Unitatis Redintegratio and Nostra Aetate, which declared schismatics “separated brethren” and Muslims “adorers of the one God.” The conciliar sect’s hierarchy — from the usurper “Leo XIV” down to the local “Latin patriarchal vicar” cited in the related links — has abdicated the munus docendi to teach all nations (Matt. 28:19), replacing it with a dialogue of life that leaves souls in darkness. St. Pius X condemned the Modernist proposition that “The dogmas which the Church proposes as revealed are not truths of divine origin but are a certain interpretation of religious facts” (Lamentabili Sane Exitu, 22). EWTN lives this condemnation: dogma is replaced by narrative; truth, by “accompaniment.”
The article’s final lines — a newsletter signup prompt — complete the picture: the abomination of desolation (Matt. 24:15) monetizes tragedy. This is not the Church of the Martyrs; it is the Church of the Market.
The Only True Charity: Conversion to the Catholic Faith
From the perspective of integral Catholic faith, the shooting in Hamoud is a chilling reminder that “the kingdom of Satan and the powers of darkness” (Quas Primas) war against all who bear the name of Christ, but the greatest danger is not the bullet of the gunman; it is the heresy of the schismatic and the silence of the false shepherd. The victims died in a state of formal separation from the Vicar of Christ. If they died unrepentant, they are lost. EWTN’s “thoughts and prayers” are crocodile tears masking the conciliar sect’s complicity in their eternal ruin.
The true Catholic response is not “solidarity with Christians” but the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy directed toward conversion: to preach “Repent, and believe the Gospel” (Mark 1:15); to administer the Sacraments; to teach that “He who believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he who does not believe shall be condemned” (Mark 16:16). Any “Christian” media that fails to proclaim this is an accomplice of the Antichrist.
Christus vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat. The Social Kingship of Christ admits no competitors, no “dialogue partners,” no “sister churches.” The blood spilled in Hamoud cries out not for “justice” as the world defines it, but for the Exsultet of the Easter Vigil: “O happy fault that merited such and so great a Redeemer!” — a Redeemer who founded one Church, outside of which there is no salvation. EWTN, the conciliar sect, and all who collaborate with them have their reward: the applause of the world. Veritas non auctoritate hominum, sed auctoritate Dei stat.
