The EWTN News portal, a flagship propaganda organ of the conciliar sect, publishes a utilitarian guide for the faithful of the neo-church to acquire eight plenary indulgences during the first eight days of November. The article, authored by Daniel Payne, reduces the supernatural economy of salvation to a bureaucratic checklist: visit a cemetery, recite a mental prayer, fulfill the “normal terms” of confession and “Communion” in the Novus Ordo rite, and pray for the intentions of the usurper “Pope” Francis. This text is not a catechesis on the Communion of Saints; it is a manifesto of the ecclesia docta of the abomination of desolation, dispensing simulated graces through sacraments emptied of form, matter, and intention, under the authority of a manifest heretic who has ipso facto severed himself from the Mystical Body.
The Legalistic Farce of “Conditions” Without the Lawgiver
The article enumerates the “conditions” for a plenary indulgence with the precision of a tax code: state of grace, detachment from sin, sacramental confession, Eucharist, prayer for the “Holy Father.” It cites the Enchiridion Indulgentiarum of the “Apostolic Penitentiary” as its legal source. But where there is no legitimate legislator, there is no law; where there is no valid priesthood, there is no sacrament; where there is no true Pope, there is no jurisdiction to bind or loose (cf. Mt 16:19; Jn 20:23). The “Apostolic Penitentiary” cited is a dicastery of the paramasonic structure occupying the Vatican, devoid of canonical mission since the usurpation of the See of Peter by Angelo Roncalli (John XXIII) in 1958. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches, “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, lib. 2, cap. 30). Jorge Bergoglio, a public adherent of religious indifferentism, communion with heretics, and the idolatrous cult of Pachamama, is a manifest heretic. He possesses nulla potestas — no power to grant indulgences, no authority to designate intentions, no capacity to remit temporal punishment. The “indulgences” advertised are simulacra, spiritual counterfeit currency issued by a bankrupt bank.
The Novus Ordo “Eucharist” and “Confession”: Empty Vessels of Grace
The article blithely instructs the reader to receive “the Eucharist (either within or outside of Mass)” and to have “sacramentally confessed their sins.” It omits the sine qua non of validity: a priest validly ordained in the traditional Roman rite (pre-1968), using the unadulterated form of the Sacraments. The “Mass” of Paul VI, fabricated by the freemason Annibale Bugnini and six Protestant observers, mutilated the Canon, suppressed the propitiatory nature of the Sacrifice, and introduced a narrative of the “Lord’s Supper” congenial to Lutheran theology. The “priests” of the conciliar sect, ordained in the invalid 1968 rite of Paul VI or the even more deficient 1972 rite, lack the sacerdotal character to confect the Eucharist or absolve sins. Their “Communion” is bread; their “absolution” is empty words. As the Bull Apostolicae Curae of Leo XIII declared of Anglican orders — “prorsus nullae et irritae” — so too the orders of the neo-church. To direct souls to these counterfeit sacraments as channels of indulgence is to lead them into sacrilege and presumption, the sin of Judas who “received the morsel” and “Satan entered into him” (Jn 13:27).
The Demotion of the Octave: A Symptom of the Liturgical Revolution
Payne notes that the All Saints’ octave was “demoted in the liturgical calendar around the middle of the 20th century.” This passive phrasing conceals a violent rupture. The octave, established by Pope Sixtus IV and confirmed by immemorial tradition, was suppressed by the modernist liturgical engineers of the 1955 Holy Week reforms of Pius XII (the precursor) and definitively buried by the Novus Ordo calendar of 1969. This was not a “demotion” but an iconoclasm — the systematic dismantling of the lex orandi to destroy the lex credendi. The octave affirmed the Church’s triumphant solidarity with the Church Suffering; its suppression reflects the modernist horror of the supernatural, the denial of Purgatory’s reality, and the immanentist reduction of the liturgy to a “community celebration.” The fact that the “Apostolic Penitentiary” still grants indulgences for these eight days while the liturgy ignores them exposes the schizophrenia of the conciliar sect: it clings to the effects of Tradition (indulgences) while having abolished the cause (the traditional liturgy and doctrine).
Subservience to the Secular State: The COVID-19 Capitulation
The article casually mentions that the octave was “extended throughout the entire month of November in both 2020 and 2021 amid concerns about avoiding large gatherings… due to the COVID-19 pandemic.” This is an inadvertent confession of the neo-church’s idolatry of the State. The “pope” and his curia suspended the immemorial rights of the Church — the freedom to worship, to visit cemeteries, to gain indulgences — at the command of secular health bureaucrats. Pius XI, in Quas Primas, thundered: “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.” The conciliar sect, by obeying Caesar’s lockdown over Christ’s law, proclaimed Deus non est in the public order. It fulfilled the Syllabus error #55: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” — not by liberal decree, but by voluntary servitude. The “extension” of the indulgence period was not a pastoral mercy; it was a capitulation to the religion of Health, the new Moloch.
The Silence on Christ the King: The Ultimate Indictment
Nowhere in Payne’s article — nowhere in the “Enchiridion,” nowhere in the “Apostolic Penitentiary’s” decrees — is there a whisper of Christus Regnat. The indulgence is presented as a private, individualistic transaction: do this, get that. There is no mention of the Social Kingship of Christ, no call for the conversion of nations, no recognition that the Church’s mission is to “restore all things in Christ” (Eph 1:10; St. Pius X, E Supremi). Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King precisely to combat the “plague… of secularism, so-called laicism” (Quas Primas). The conciliar sect, by suppressing the octave of All Saints (which culminated in the Kingship feast on the last Sunday of October) and replacing it with a bureaucratic indulgence schedule, has completed the Masonic project: a Church without a King, a liturgy without a Sacrifice, a priesthood without power, a “pope” without the Faith. The “eight plenary indulgences” are the thirty pieces of silver paid to the faithful to buy their silence while the Bride of Christ is crucified anew in the Vatican gardens.
Conclusion: Flee the Synagogue of Satan
The article from EWTN News is a spiritual trap. It invites Catholics to participate in the Great Apostasy by simulating piety within the structures of the Antichrist. True indulgences flow only from the Thesaurus Ecclesiae — the treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and the Saints — applied by the valid ministers of the true Church, under a true Roman Pontiff. That Church exists today only in the remnant clergy and faithful who preserve the integral Faith, the traditional Mass, and the unbroken apostolic succession outside the conciliar sect. Let no one be deceived: he who approaches the “sacraments” of the neo-church seeking indulgences approaches a mensa daemoniaca (1 Cor 10:21). “Go out from her, my people, that you may not share in her sins, and that you may not receive of her plagues” (Apoc 18:4). The only plenary indulgence that matters is the one granted by the true Church to those who perseverant in sanctitate et iustitia unto the end — outside the whore of the New Advent.
