The EWTN News portal — the English-language mouthpiece of the ACI Prensa propaganda apparatus of the conciliar sect — reports that a group of forty-seven pilgrims from the Diocese of Nuevo Laredo, returning from the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, was intercepted and robbed at gunpoint on a highway in Guanajuato by men disguised as National Guard agents. The “bishop” Luis Carlos Lerma MartÃnez laments the “lack of security on the highways” and urges the civil authorities to “redouble their efforts.” Not a word is spoken of the Kingship of Christ, the necessity of the Social Reign of the Sacred Heart, or the spiritual desolation that follows when a nation officially apostatizes from its Baptismal promises. This incident is not a mere crime report; it is a damning indictment of a hierarchy that has traded the potestas ordinata of the King of Kings for the potestas facta of Masonic republics.
The Conciliar Hierarchy: Hirelings Fleeing Before the Wolf
The “bishop” Lerma acts not as a successor of the Apostles commissioned to regere in veritate (rule in truth), but as a functionary of a secular NGO. His response — “thank God there were no serious injuries… the lack of security is deeply concerning” — reveals a purely naturalistic anthropology. Where is the munus docendi? Where is the warning that «non est potestas nisi a Deo» (there is no power but from God) (Rom 13:1), and that a State which severs itself from the Divine Law becomes inevitably a tyranny of force? The Syllabus of Pope Pius IX condemns the proposition that «The civil government… has a right to an indirect negative power over religious affairs» (Error 41) and that «The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church» (Error 55). Mexico’s 1917 Masonic Constitution, still in force, enshrines this separation. The “bishop” does not denounce the Masonic root of the violence; he petitions the Masonic State for better policing. He is a hireling who sees the wolf coming and flees — mercenarius est, et non curat oves (Jn 10:13).
The Basilica of Guadalupe: A Shrine Occupied by the Abomination of Desolation
The pilgrims traveled to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Yet the “Church” that administers that shrine is the post-conciliar sect that has, since 1958, propagated the hermeneutic of rupture disguised as continuity. The “Mass” celebrated there is the Novus Ordo Missae — a Protestantized memorial meal fabricated by the Freemason Bugnini, stripping the Unbloody Sacrifice of its propitiatory character. The “pilgrims” likely received “Communion” in the hand, standing, from lay ministers, in a rite that denies the Real Presence and the Sacrifice of Calvary. As the False Fatima Apparitions document exposes, the “message of Fatima” itself was a Masonic psychological operation to divert attention from the internal apostasy; similarly, the Guadalupe phenomenon has been instrumentalized by the conciliar sect to legitimize its false ecumenism and its submission to the Mexican State. The robbery on the highway is the temporal mirror of the spiritual robbery at the altar: the True Mass has been stolen, the True Faith has been stolen, and now the pilgrims’ possessions are stolen. Quod Deus non custodit, frustra custodit homo (Ps 126:1).
Christ the King vs. The “National Guard” of a Masonic Republic
Pope Pius XI, in Quas Primas (1925), teaches that «His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ» and that «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». Mexico officially dethroned Christ the King with the Cristero War martyrdom and the subsequent Masonic consolidation. The “National Guard” uniforms worn by the robbers are the perfect symbol: the secular arm, stripped of sacramental grace, becomes indistinguishable from the bandit. The “bishop” Lerma asks the State to “strengthen security on our roads.” But «The state is happy not by one means, and man by another; for the state is nothing else than a harmonious association of men» (Pius XI, citing St. Augustine). A state that legalizes abortion, same-sex “marriage,” and Masonic secularism cannot produce harmony; it produces the bellum omnium contra omnes. The only remedy is the Instaurare omnia in Christo — the restoration of the Social Kingship of Christ — not better highway patrols.
The Language of the Antichurch: Bureaucratic Naturalism
Observe the rhetoric: “deeply concerning,” “redouble their efforts,” “pertinent authorities,” “support to the group to continue their journey.” This is the language of the Curia Romana of the Antichurch — managerial, therapeutic, horizontally oriented. There is no mention of peccatum, poena, gratia, conversio. The “organizer” Anahà Zamora recounts the theft of “suitcases, bags, cellphones” — material goods. The “bishop” thanks God for no “loss of life,” as if temporal survival were the summum bonum. But «What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?» (Mt 16:26). The pilgrims went to a shrine; did they go in the state of grace? Did they confess to a validly ordained priest? Did they assist at the True Mass? The article is silent — because the conciliar sect is silent on these matters. Its “pastoral care” ends at the bus door.
The Theological Root: Rejection of Cum ex Apostolatus Officio and Canon 188.4
The “bishop” Lerma holds office in the conciliar sect. But according to the Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio of Pope Paul IV, «if at any time it shall appear that any Bishop… has defected from the Catholic Faith or fallen into some heresy: (i) his promotion or elevation… shall be null, void, and of no effect». The “bishops” of the post-conciliar sect publicly profess the heresies of Vatican II: religious liberty (Dignitatis Humanae), false ecumenism (Unitatis Redintegratio), collegiality subverting the Papacy (Lumen Gentium), and the new ecclesiology of “subsistence.” By Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code, «Every office becomes vacant by the mere fact and without any declaration… if the cleric: … 4. Publicly defects from the Catholic faith». Lerma is not a bishop; he is a layman in purple, a usurper of the episcopal chair. His “diocese” is a fiction. His “pilgrims” are sheep without a shepherd, scattered by the wolf of secularism — a wolf unleashed by the very “hierarchy” that claims to lead them.
The False Opposition: “Traditionalists” Who Legitimize the Usurpers
One must also note the complicity of the pseudo-traditionalist movements — the FSSPX, the Ecclesia Dei institutes — who recognize these “bishops” as legitimate while pretending to offer the Traditional Latin Mass. They are the schism within the schism, as the Defense of Sedevacantism file demonstrates: a manifest heretic cannot be Pope or bishop. By acknowledging the “bishop” of Nuevo Laredo as a true pastor, they bind the faithful to a false hierarchy. The robbery is the fruit of this confusion: the faithful think they are in the Church, but they are in a paramasonic structure. «A non-Christian in no way can be Pope… a manifest heretic cannot be Pope» (St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice). The same applies to the episcopate.
Conclusion: The Only Security Is the Kingdom of Christ
The highway robbery in Guanajuato is a parable of the spiritual condition of Mexico under the conciliar sect. The “bishop” petitions Caesar for crumbs of security while the Kingship of Christ is denied in the Constitution, in the laws, in the schools, and in the “liturgies” of the sect. «Let rulers of states therefore not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ… if they wish to maintain their authority inviolate and contribute to the increase of their homeland’s happiness» (Pius XI, Quas Primas). Until Mexico — and every nation — publicly crowns Christ the King, consecrates itself to the Sacred Heart (not the Masonic “Fatima” parody), and restores the True Mass and the True Hierarchy, the highways will remain hunting grounds for bandits, and the souls of the faithful will remain hunting grounds for demons. The robbery is not a failure of policing; it is the inevitable harvest of laicism, the pestis saeculi condemned by Pius XI. «The prayer prescribed by the Church is the rule of faith» — and the prayer of the conciliar sect is the rule of apostasy.
