The EWTN News portal reports on a gathering of the so-called “Laudato Si’ Movement” Asia-Pacific chapters in Tagaytay City, Philippines, from October 24–27, 2026. Seventeen delegates from Myanmar, South Korea, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, and the Philippines convened to adopt a strategic roadmap for 2027–2030 leading toward a “Vision 2035,” centering on “ecological conversion,” “synodal” decentralization, interfaith collaboration, and net-zero carbon advocacy aligned with United Nations climate goals. The retreat featured video addresses from “Bishop” Allwyn D’Silva of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences and movement executive director Lorna Gold, culminating in a visit to a Society of the Divine Word “Laudato Si’ Farm” serving as an “ecological education center” and “pilgrimage site.” This assembly manifests the total substitution of the Church’s divine mission for a naturalistic, Masonic environmentalism that serves the Antichrist’s globalist agenda.
The “Laudato Si’ Movement” as Institutionalized Apostasy
The very name of this movement — christened after the 2015 encyclical of the antipope Francis — proclaims its origin in the novus ordo revolution. The document Laudato Si’ itself is a masterpiece of Modernist synthesis, wedding a pantheistic “integral ecology” to the United Nations’ Agenda 2030. As Pope Pius XI taught 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 “Laudato Si’ Movement” institutionalizes this removal, replacing the social reign of Christ the King with the reign of “Mother Earth.”
The article reveals the movement’s self-understanding: a “Catholic network founded in 2015” boasting “more than 8,000 trained volunteers, called animators, and nearly 900 member organizations.” This bureaucratic language — “animators,” “member organizations,” “strategic roadmap,” “Vision 2035” — betrays its essentially naturalistic character. It is an NGO wearing a cassock, structured on Masonic principles of “networking” and “grassroots listening” rather than the hierarchical constitution established by Christ. The Syllabus of Errors condemns the proposition that “The Church is not a true and perfect society, entirely free… but it appertains to the civil power to define what are the rights of the Church” (Error 19). Here, the “Church” defines itself by its utility to the civil power’s climate agenda.
“Ecological Conversion”: A Counterfeit Metanoia
The movement’s executive director, Lorna Gold, explicitly redefines conversion: “Ecological conversion, she said, is a conversion of the whole community, not only of the individual.” This is a diabolical inversion of Catholic soteriology. True conversion — metanoia — is the turning of the individual soul from sin to God through grace, effected by the Holy Ghost in the sacrament of Penance. The Council of Trent defines justification as “a translation from that state in which man is born a child of the first Adam, to the state of grace and of the adoption of the sons of God through the second Adam, Jesus Christ” (Session VI, Chapter 4). Gold’s “conversion of the whole community” is the Masonic collective salvation of the New Age, where the “community” replaces the Church, “creation” replaces the Creator, and “sustainability” replaces sanctity.
The movement’s strategic roadmap places this false conversion “at the center, symbolized by the ichthys, the early Christian fish sign.” They appropriate a sacred symbol of Christ (Iesous Christos Theou Yios Soter) to signify a pagan worship of nature. St. Paul warns: “They changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator” (Rom 1:25). The three pillars — “eco-spirituality,” “sustainable and resilient communities,” and “prophetic advocacy” for “fair public policies and an end to investment in fossil fuels” — constitute a political program masquerading as theology. “Eco-spirituality” is a neologism unknown to the Fathers; it signifies the pantheistic immanence condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus (Error 1: “God is identical with the nature of things”).
The “Synodal” Decentralization: Destroying the Monarchical Constitution
Yeb Saño, the movement’s board chair and former Greenpeace Southeast Asia leader, “urged delegates to decentralize leadership so the movement better reflects the synodal spirit of a Church that walks together.” This “synodal spirit” is the revolutionary principle of the conciliar sect, dissolving the monarchical constitution of the Church (divina constitutio) into a democratic assembly. Pope Pius VI in Auctorem Fidei (1794) condemned the “synodal” heresy of the Synod of Pistoia which sought to “transfer the supreme pontificate from the bishop and city of Rome to another bishop and another city” (Syllabus, Error 35) and to subject the Church to “the civil power” (Error 20).
The very phrase “a Church that walks together” (syn-hodos) replaces the Una, Sancta, Catholica, Apostolica with a horizontal fraternity indistinguishable from Masonic universal brotherhood. The Syllabus condemns: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Error 80). Saño’s career — Greenpeace leader, UN climate negotiator, now “Catholic” movement chair — embodies this reconciliation with the Masonic world order.
Interfaith Collaboration: The Abomination of Religious Indifferentism
In Myanmar, the movement “runs the BEES Network, which offers interfaith ecological education for young people.” This is a direct violation of the First Commandment and the dogma Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus. Pope Pius XI in Mortalium Animos (1928) condemned the “pan-Christian” and interfaith movement: “The Apostolic See cannot on any terms take part in [non-Catholic] assemblies, nor is it anyway lawful for Catholics either to support or to work for such enterprises.” The Syllabus condemns: “Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true” (Error 15) and “Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation” (Error 16).
The BEES Network’s “interfaith ecological education” teaches youth that false religions are equal paths to “care for creation,” making the “common home” the new idol uniting all faiths. This is the Masonic religion of humanity prophesied by Leo XIII in Humanum Genus (1884): “The partisans of this sect… intend to establish… a purely naturalistic religion, in which all men, without distinction of race or religion, would be united.”
Submission to the United Nations and the Masonic Climate Agenda
The Timor-Leste chapter “works with U.N. agencies and the government, helps run the country’s Local Conference of Youth.” The South Korean chapter presses “the country’s bishops and dioceses to bring parishes to net-zero carbon emissions” ahead of World Youth Day 2027. The movement’s “prophetic advocacy” pillar explicitly includes “pressing for fair public policies and an end to investment in fossil fuels.” This is total subservience to the UN’s Agenda 2030, the Masonic blueprint for global governance.
Pope St. Pius X in Notre Charge Apostolique (1910) condemned the Sillon’s “city of the future” built on “human dignity” and “fraternity” without Christ: “They dream of a city where there will be no distinctions of class or nation… a city where the Gospel will be superfluous.” The “net-zero” parish is the Sillon’s dream realized: a Church reduced to a climate compliance officer for the New World Order. The Syllabus condemns: “The civil government… has a right to an indirect negative power over religious affairs” (Error 41) and “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55). Here, the “Church” voluntarily becomes the State’s propaganda arm for climate policy.
The “Bishops” of the Conciliar Sect: False Shepherds of a False Church
“Bishop” Allwyn D’Silva, “auxiliary bishop emeritus of Bombay,” chairs the “Office of Human Development of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences.” He praises the movement for “making people aware and care for creation.” This “bishop” — ordained in the novus ordo rite of Paul VI (1968), which is doubtfully valid at best and sacrilegiously invalid at worst — exercises no true jurisdiction. He belongs to the “Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences,” a collegialist structure unknown to Catholic tradition, which Pope Pius XII in Mystici Corporis warned against when he taught that bishops are “not independent of the Roman Pontiff” but “subject to his authority.”
D’Silva’s language — “ecological crisis,” “common home,” “networking” — is purely secular. Not a word of Jesus Christ, sin, grace, the Cross, eternal life, or the Last Judgment. As St. Pius X wrote in Pascendi Dominici Gregis: “The Modernist… does not deny the existence of God… but he so explains it that it becomes a mere symbol.” D’Silva’s “God” is the god of the climate agenda.
The SVD “Laudato Si’ Farm”: Idolatry Disguised as Pilgrimage
The retreat concluded at the “SVD Laudato Si’ Farm,” a 5.8-hectare site run by the Society of the Divine Word, described as “an ecological education center, a pilgrimage site, and an ecotourism destination.” A farm as a “pilgrimage site” for “ecological education” is the abomination of desolation in the holy place. True pilgrimage sites are sanctified by the relics of saints, the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, or Marian apparitions approved by the true Magisterium. This farm is sanctified by composting, mangrove planting, and carbon neutrality.
The Society of the Divine Word, like most post-conciliar “religious orders,” has abandoned its missionary charism — ad gentes for the conversion of souls — for the conversion of carbon footprints. Father Samuel “Sam” Naceno-Agcaracar started this farm in 2020, the year of the pandemic and the Fratelli Tutti encyclical. The participants “ranged in age from baby boomers to Generation Z” — a demographic boast revealing the movement’s worldly marketing strategy. The closing words from Laudato Si’ — “May our struggles and our concern for this planet never take away the joy of our hope” — replace the theological virtue of hope (which has God as its object) with immanent optimism about “the planet.”
The Theological Bankruptcy: Silence on the Supernatural Order
The gravest accusation against this entire enterprise is its total silence on the supernatural order. In 1,500 words of reportage, there is:
- No mention of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (the “Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary”)
- No mention of the Sacraments, especially Penance and Holy Orders
- No mention of sanctifying grace or the state of grace
- No mention of sin, hell, purgatory, or heaven
- No mention of the Blessed Virgin Mary or the Saints
- No mention of evangelization or conversion to the Catholic Faith
- No mention of Christ the King and His Social Reign
This silence is not accidental; it is essential. The “Laudato Si’ Movement” is a para-Masonic structure designed to occupy the space of the Church while evacuating its substance. As the Syllabus condemns: “The teaching of the Catholic Church is hostile to the well-being and interests of society” (Error 40) — the conciliar sect inverts this, making the “Church” the servant of society’s “well-being” defined by the UN.
Conclusion: The “Abomination of Desolation” in Action
This Asia-Pacific retreat is a microcosm of the conciliar sect’s total apostasy. It gathers “delegates” from five nations under the banner of a false “pope’s” encyclical, led by invalid “bishops” and “priests,” collaborating with Masonic NGOs (Greenpeace) and the United Nations, promoting a false “conversion” to a pagan “ecology,” using Catholic symbols (the ichthys) for idolatrous ends, and calling it “synodal.”
Pope Pius XI in Quas Primas declared: “If rulers of states therefore not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ… when all willingly accept the reign of Christ and obey Him, and every tongue will confess that our Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.” The “Laudato Si’ Movement” works for the opposite: that all tongues confess “climate emergency,” that all nations obey the UN, that the “reign of Christ” be replaced by the “reign of sustainability.”
The true Church — the Ecclesia Catholica of the catacombs, the remanens faithful who keep the Tradition entire — looks upon this spectacle with horror. Non praevalebunt. The gates of hell shall not prevail against Her, though the “Laudato Si’ Movement” and its Masonic masters occupy the visible structures. Christus Vincit, Christus Regnat, Christus Imperat.
