The EWTN News portal — propaganda organ of the neo-church — reports that the Accra Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women, a fabrication of the conciliar hierarchy, issued a statement demanding “prompt investigations into child sexual abuse and legal accountability for perpetrators.” Their president, Madam Rita Amivi Wurth-Seddoh, declares: “Sexual abuse is a crime, not a disciplinary matter.” The statement calls for secular legal procedures, reporting mechanisms, healthcare for survivors, and “shared national responsibility” for safeguarding. This reduction of the priestly betrayal of souls to a mere legal infraction, utterly devoid of the language of sin, sacrilege, and divine judgment, exposes the naturalistic rot at the core of the conciliar sect.
The Conciliar Structure Has No Authority to Define Crime or Justice
The “Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women” is an entity of the conciliar sect, erected by the usurping hierarchy that has occupied the Vatican since 1958. It possesses zero supernatural jurisdiction. As Pope Pius XII taught in Mystici Corporis Christi (1943), the Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, not a “civil society” subject to state oversight. The 1917 Code of Canon Law, Canon 101, defines the Church as a perfect society (societas perfecta) with innate and independent right (ius natum et independens) to govern her own members. The Syllabus of Errors (Pope Pius IX, 1864), Proposition 19, condemns the error that “it appertains to the civil power to define what are the rights of the Church, and the limits within which she may exercise those rights.” Yet these women demand the secular state investigate and punish, implicitly recognizing the civil power as superior to the ecclesiastical — a hallmark of the laicism condemned by Pius XI in Quas Primas (1925): “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.”
“Crime, Not Disciplinary Matter”: The Language of Naturalism, Not Faith
The slogan “Sexual abuse is a crime, not a disciplinary matter” is a capitulation to the secular order. In Catholic theology, the abuse of a child by a priest is not merely a crimen in the civil sense; it is a sacrilegium — a profanation of the priestly character (character indelebilis) which configures the priest to Christ the High Priest. St. Thomas Aquinas (Summa Theologiae, III, q. 83, a. 4) teaches that the priest acts in persona Christi; his betrayal is a crucifixion of Christ anew in the person of the innocent. The Council of Trent (Sess. XXIII, De Sacr. Ordinis, can. 6) anathematizes those who deny the sacramental character. To speak only of “legal accountability” and “human rights” is to deny the supernatural order. It is the error of naturalism condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus (Prop. 3, 56): “Human reason… is the sole arbiter of truth and falsehood, and of good and evil” and “Moral laws do not stand in need of the divine sanction.”
Silence on the Invalid Priesthood and the Novus Ordo Sacrilege
The article — and the women’s statement — never mentions the Mass, the priesthood, or the sacraments. This silence is the loudest accusation. The “priests” of the conciliar sect are, in the vast majority, invalidly ordained due to the defective form and intention of the 1968 Pontifical of Paul VI (Montini), which omitted the essential words “ut offerat sacrificium” and substituted a Protestantized rite. As Abp. Marcel Lefebvre (though himself compromised by recognition of the usurpers) admitted, the new rite “gives us the old Mass, that is enough for us” — a confession of the rupture. A true priest offers the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary; the conciliar “presbyter” presides at a table of assembly. The abuse of children by these pseudo-priests is the bitter fruit of a false priesthood that does not confer the grace of the sacrament of Order. St. Alphonsus Liguori (Dignity and Duties of the Priest) writes: “A priest who celebrates Mass unworthily crucifies Christ again.” The conciliar sect’s “Mass” is itself a permanent sacrilege; the abuse of children is its logical consequence.
EWTN: A Propaganda Arm of the Abomination of Desolation
The source, EWTN News (via ACI Africa), is a creation of the neo-church, founded by the modernist “Mother Angelica” under the patronage of the usurping hierarchy. It exists to normalize the conciliar revolution by presenting its structures as legitimate. The article’s closing — “Which newsletter would you like? Daily/Weekly… I agree to receive communications from EWTN” — reveals its commercial, bureaucratic nature. It is not a voice of the Church; it is a marketing platform for the paramasonic structure occupying the Vatican. The journalist, Silas Isenjia, is described as a “Kenyan journalist with a great zeal… for Catholic Church related communication” — a euphemism for a functionary of the anti-church.
No Mention of Sin, Hell, or the Salvation of Souls
Read the statement again. Not one word on: mortal sin, the state of grace, the sacrament of Penance, the reality of Hell, the duty of the priest to save souls, the Communion of Saints, the Kingship of Christ over nations. The “Catholic women” speak exclusively in the lexicon of the United Nations: “human rights,” “accountability,” “transparency,” “healthcare,” “psychological assistance,” “discrimination,” “gender.” This is the cult of man condemned by Pius XI in Quas Primas: “The state is happy not by one means, and man by another… He is the author of prosperity and true happiness for individual citizens as well as for the state.” By adopting the language of the enemy, these women abdicate the Church’s mission — salus animarum suprema lex.
The “Shared National Responsibility” Heresy
The demand that “safeguarding children… must be recognized as a shared national responsibility” subordinates the Church to the State. Pope Leo XIII in Immortale Dei (1885) teaches: “The Church… is a perfect society… endowed with all the means necessary for its own maintenance and action.” The Syllabus (Prop. 55) condemns: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church.” The conciliar sect, born of Vatican II’s Gaudium et Spes and Dignitatis Humanae, has internalized this separation. These women do not appeal to the Rights of God (iura Dei); they appeal to the rights of the child as defined by secular law. They are citizens of the earthly city, not daughters of the Heavenly Jerusalem.
The Root Cause: The Conciliar Apostasy Since 1958
Why is there abuse in the conciliar structures? Because the Holy Ghost has abandoned them. The Lamentabili Sane Exitu (St. Pius X, 1907) condemned the Modernist proposition: “The Church is an enemy of the progress of natural and theological sciences” (Prop. 57) and “Truth changes with man” (Prop. 58). The conciliar sect embodied these errors. The “priests” are formed in seminaries where St. Thomas is discarded, where the Summa is replaced by Rahner, Kung, and Balthasar. The “bishops” are appointed by antipopes (John XXIII through Leo XIV) who are manifest heretics — having taught religious liberty, false ecumenism, collegiality, and the dignity of non-Christian religions. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches (De Romano Pontifice, II, 30): “A manifest heretic… by that very fact ceases to be Pope and head… A non-Christian in no way can be Pope.” The Cum ex Apostolatus Officio of Paul IV (1559) declares the elevation of a heretic “null, void, and of no effect.” The conciliar hierarchy has no jurisdiction; its “disciplinary matters” are nullities. The only remedy is return to the integral Faith and valid Sacraments — not “legal accountability” before Caesar.
Conclusion: A Statement of the World, Not of the Church
The Accra women’s statement is a document of the City of Man, indistinguishable from a UNICEF press release. It proves that the conciliar sect has no supernatural life. It offers psychological assistance but not absolution; legal support but not spiritual direction; protection from discrimination but not protection from Hell. “What doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul?” (Mk 8:36). These women, trapped in the neo-church, seek justice from the State because they have no Father in Heaven whose Church they can trust — for the true Church subsists in those who keep the Tradition of the Fathers, the Mass of All Ages, and the Faith of the Councils, outside the structures of the abomination of desolation (Mt 24:15). Quas Primas remains the judgment: “When all willingly accept the reign of Christ and obey Him… then there will be hope that the law will regain its former authority, sweet peace will return again.” Until then, every “accountability” demand is dust and ashes.
