The conciliar propaganda outlet *National Catholic Register* (via CNA) reports on November 6, 2026, that the individual Laurence LaPointe, 81, a “priest” of the Norwich jurisdiction of the conciliar sect, pleaded guilty in a Baltimore civil court on November 4 to a fourth-degree sex offense and common-law assault for the sexual abuse of a boy at Gilman School in the mid-1970s. The civil judge, Charles Dorsey III, imposed a three-year suspended sentence and five years of supervised probation with restrictions on contact with minors. The Norwich “diocese” had placed LaPointe on “ministry leave” in March. This judicial charade, devoid of any canonical process or supernatural perspective, lays bare the putrefaction of the conciliar sect’s simulated priesthood and its total subjection to the secular arm.
The Conciliar Sect’s Simulated Priesthood Produces Its Logical Fruit
The conciliar “priesthood” is not the Catholic priesthood. Since the promulgation of the invalid *Novus Ordo Missae* (1969) and the new ordinal (1968), the conciliar sect has ceased to confer the Sacrament of Holy Orders in its integrity. The form and matter were altered to signify a “presbyter” for a “community meal” rather than a *sacerdos* for the *Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary*. As Pope Pius XII taught in *Sacramentum Ordinis* (1947), the form must signify the grace effected—the power to consecrate and offer the true Body and Blood. The Pauline rite excised this essential signification. Therefore, LaPointe, ordained likely in the 1970s under the new rite, or if earlier, functioning exclusively within the new theology and discipline, is at best a doubtful priest, at worst a layman simulating the sacred mysteries. Corruptio optimi pessima—the corruption of the best is the worst. The conciliar “priest” stripped of the *character indelebilis* of the true priesthood, deprived of the grace of the true Mass, and formed in the seminaries of the *nouvelle théologie* (Modernism), becomes a vessel of iniquity. The abuse crisis is not a “scandal” external to the conciliar church; it is its ontological fruit.
Linguistic Sanitization: Therapeutic Jargon Replaces the Language of Sin
The article’s language is a masterclass in modernist anthropocentrism. The victim speaks of a “heavy burden” passing to LaPointe; the Attorney General speaks of “trauma,” “survivors,” and “accountability.” Nowhere is the word “sin” uttered. Nowhere is “sodomy” named. Nowhere is “sacrilege” mentioned. This is the language of the cult of man condemned by Pius XI in *Quas Primas*: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” The conciliar sect has adopted the secular state’s therapeutic vocabulary because it has abandoned the lex credendi of the Church. The “victim impact statement” replaces the confession of sin; “probation” replaces penance; “no contact with minors” replaces the perpetual penance and deposition required by the Canons (Canon 1395 §2, 1917 Code: *clericus… in delictum contra sextum decalogi praeceptum inciderit… puniatur… depositione*). The conciliar “bishop” of Norwich does not even appear to have issued a canonical decree—only an administrative “ministry leave.” This is ecclesiastical abdication.
Theological Bankruptcy: No Mention of Sacrilege, Scandal, or Eternal Judgment
From the perspective of integral Catholic faith, the gravity of a priest—even a putative one—sexually assaulting a boy is sacrilege of the most heinous order. St. Peter Damian in the *Book of Gomorrah* (c. 1051), approved by Pope St. Leo IX, thundered against clerical pederasty as a crime that “outrages the Majesty of God” and “pollutes the very sanctuary of the Lord.” The Council of Trent (Sess. XXIII, Can. 4) anathematizes those who deny the hierarchical priesthood. The conciliar sect, by emptying the priesthood of its sacrificial essence, has unleashed the demons that the true priesthood, the true Mass, and the true discipline (celibacy, Latin, *custodia oculorum*, seminary formation *extra mundum*) held at bay. The article’s silence on the eternal destiny of the perpetrator and the spiritual ruin of the victim is the silence of the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:15). There is no call to conversion, no warning of hell, no invocation of the *Auxilium Christianorum*. Only the bureaucratic processing of a “case” by the “attorney general.” This is the laicism Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King to combat: “The state must leave the same freedom to the members of Orders… who are indeed the most valiant helpers of the Pastors of the Church.” Here, the state *is* the pastor.
Subjection to the Secular Arm: The Syllabus Condemned This
The entire proceeding is a civil trial. The “priest” pleads guilty to a “fourth-degree sex offense” and “common-law assault”—categories of the Maryland penal code. He is sentenced by a civil judge. The “diocese” waits for the civil outcome to place him on “leave.” This is the precise realization of the errors condemned by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors (1864): Error 39: “The State, as being the origin and source of all rights, is endowed with a certain right not circumscribed by any limits.” Error 42: “In the case of conflicting laws enacted by the two powers, the civil law prevails.” Error 55: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church.” The conciliar sect has *voluntarily* subjected itself to the secular power. It has no canonical courts, no canonical penalties, no *potestas iurisdictionis* (which requires a true Pope and true bishops). As Cardinal Billot explained regarding Nestorius: once a prelate defects from the faith, he loses jurisdiction *ipso facto*. The conciliar “bishops,” by adhering to the heresies of Vatican II (religious liberty, ecumenism, collegiality, new Mass), have lost all jurisdiction. They are functionaries of a paramasonic structure managing a crisis for the secular state. The “attorney general” Anthony Brown acts as the true hierarch: “No matter how much time passes, we will help lift that weight off survivors’ shoulders and hold accountable anyone who abuses a position of trust.” The conciliar “bishop” is mute.
The Homosexual Network in the Conciliar Hierarchy
The abuse occurred in the mid-1970s, the decade of the post-conciliar implosion. The “Gilman School” setting indicates the infiltration of the conciliar “clergy” into the educational apparatus of the secular order—a direct violation of the Church’s rights over education (Syllabus, Errors 45-48). The 50-year delay in “justice” points to the lavender mafia that has governed the conciliar sect since the pontificate of Paul VI. The “Diocese of Norwich” did not “immediately respond to a request for comment.” This omertà is standard. The Defense of Sedevacantism file demonstrates that a manifest heretic loses office *ipso facto*. The conciliar “clergy” are manifest heretics (professing the new faith of Vatican II); they are not even members of the Church, let alone its heads. They cannot judge, they cannot bind, they cannot absolve. LaPointe’s “guilty plea” is a civil contract, not an act of canonical justice. The “victim” hopes LaPointe will “acknowledge any other misconduct… without requiring other victims to endure years of investigation.” This is the language of class action litigation, not the salus animarum.
Invalid Ordinations, Simulated Sacraments, and the Absence of Canonical Justice
The article notes LaPointe was “serving as pastor of Corpus Christi Parish.” In the conciliar sect, “pastor” is an administrative title. In the Church, a *parochus* receives the *cura animarum* from a true bishop with jurisdiction. There is no true bishop in Norwich. The “Corpus Christi Parish” is a simulated ecclesial structure. The “Mass” celebrated there is the *Novus Ordo*—a Protestantized memorial service, the “table of assembly” condemned by the Council of Trent (Sess. XXII, Can. 1: “If anyone says that in the Mass a true and proper sacrifice is not offered to God… let him be anathema”). LaPointe’s “ministry” was the distribution of invalid “Communion” (often in the hand, by lay “ministers”)—idolatry and sacrilege compounded. The “suspended sentence” and “probation” are the only “penance” this false church knows. St. Robert Bellarmine (*De Romano Pontifice*) teaches that a manifest heretic “ceases to be Pope and head… by that very fact.” The same principle applies to all “clerics” of the conciliar sect: they have defected from the faith *publicly* (Canon 188.4, 1917 Code), they have lost all office *ipso facto*. The civil court is the only court left to them—because they have built a city of man on the ruins of the City of God.
Conclusion: The Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail Against the True Church
This sordid affair—reported by the conciliar mouthpiece *National Catholic Register* with the detached tone of a police blotter—is a divine permission to manifest the visibiliter ruin of the counter-church. The true Church of Christ, *una, sancta, catholica, apostolica*, subsists in the bishops and priests who retain the true Mass, the true Sacraments, the true Faith, and the true Jurisdiction—those who reject the conciliar apostasy *in toto*. They alone possess the *potestas ordinis* and *potestas iurisdictionis* to judge, to bind, to loose, to offer the *Unbloody Sacrifice*. The “Diocese of Norwich,” the “Attorney General,” the “Judge,” the “victim,” and the “perpetrator” are all actors in the theater of the abomination of desolation. Non praevalebunt. The Kingship of Christ the King, proclaimed by Pius XI in *Quas Primas* (“His reign encompasses also all non-Christians… the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ”), remains the only reality. The conciliar sect’s “priests” fall; the true Priest, Jesus Christ, High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek, reigns. Viva Cristo Rey.
