The EWTN News portal reports that the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, “Cardinal” Pierbattista Pizzaballa, addressing the Rimini Meeting organized by the neo-modernist movement Communion and Liberation, described the West Bank as a “lawless land” where violence goes unchecked. He lamented Israeli settlement expansion as an obstacle to a “political solution,” urged “listening to multiple voices,” and insisted that agreements must be accompanied by “educational, formative, human, and religious initiatives” to heal both Israeli and Palestinian populations. The antipope Leo XIV visited this same gathering days prior. This spectacle of a usurper hierarch begging secular powers for legal order while ignoring the Kingship of Christ exposes the total bankruptcy of the conciliar sect’s mission.
The Usurper Hierarchy Speaks the Language of the World
The very framework of this report reveals the ontological illegitimacy of the post-conciliar hierarchy. The article speaks of a “Cardinal,” a “Latin Patriarch,” and a “Pope Leo XIV” — titles which, since the death of Pius XII in 1958, have been mere theatrical costumes worn by men who have defected from the Catholic Faith. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches, “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope… he cannot be the head of something of which he is not a member” (De Romano Pontifice). The “Defense of Sedevacantism” file confirms: “A Pope-manifest heretic loses his office automatically… by notorious and publicly manifested heresy, the Roman Pontiff… is deprived ipso facto of his personal jurisdiction even before any declaratory sentence by the Church.” Pizzaballa, ordained in the invalid post-conciliar rites, appointed by antipopes, exercising jurisdiction in a false church, possesses zero ecclesiastical authority. His words carry the weight of a layman’s opinion — worse, the weight of an impostor misleading souls.
Reduction of the Church’s Mission to Naturalistic Humanism
Pizzaballa’s discourse is pure naturalism, condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors (Propositions 3, 4, 55, 57, 58). He speaks of “rule of law,” “political solution,” “security,” “human toll,” “educational initiatives,” “processing grief” — not one word of supernatural reality. No mention of sin, grace, the necessity of Baptism, the Social Kingship of Christ, the conversion of infidels, or the Final Judgment. The Syllabus condemns the error that “The civil government… has a right to an indirect negative power over religious affairs” (Prop. 41) and that “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Prop. 55). Pizzaballa operates entirely within this condemned framework, petitioning the Israeli state (a non-Catholic civil power) for “safeguards” and “legal order,” implicitly recognizing its legitimate sovereignty over the Holy Places while ignoring the rights of Christ the King.
Betrayal of the Social Kingship of Christ the King
Pius XI in Quas Primas declares unequivocally: “His reign encompasses not only Catholic nations… but His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ.” The encyclical condemns the “plague… of secularism… laicism… the denial of Christ the Lord’s reign over all nations.” It commands: “Let rulers of states therefore not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ… if they wish to maintain their authority inviolate.” Pizzaballa does the opposite. He dialogues with the enemies of Christ’s Kingship — Zionist settlers, secular politicians, Muslim authorities — as equals. He seeks a “political solution” apart from the submission of all powers to Christ. This is the heresy of Americanism and Liberalism condemned by Leo XIII and St. Pius X: the attempt to reconcile the Church with the modern civil order founded on the rejection of Christ’s sovereignty.
False Ecumenism and Interreligious Dialogue as Apostasy
The call to “listen to multiple voices, including those with whom they do not agree” and the emphasis on “interreligious dialogue” at the Rimini Meeting manifest the condemned error of indifferentism. The Syllabus (Prop. 15, 16, 17, 18) anathematizes the idea that “Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which… he shall consider true” and that “Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation.” Lamentabili Sane (Prop. 59, 60, 65) condemns the modernist tenets that “Christ did not proclaim any specific, all-encompassing doctrine suitable for all times and peoples” and that “Contemporary Catholicism cannot be reconciled with true knowledge without transforming it into a certain dogmaless Christianity.” Pizzaballa’s “dialogue” presupposes that Judaism and Islam are valid paths — a practical denial of Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus. He offers “healing” and “processing grief” as substitutes for the medicina salutis: the Sacraments and the Catholic Faith.
The Rimini Meeting: A Showcase of the Neo-Church’s Idolatry of Man
The Rimini Meeting, organized by Communion and Liberation (a movement founded by the modernist Fr. Luigi Giussani), is a paramasonic theater where the “cult of man” replaces the cult of God. The visit of antipope Leo XIV sanctifies this assembly of the Church of the New Advent. Pizzaballa’s participation — discussing “hope, suffering, and interreligious dialogue” with “three young people” — mimics the Protestant “sharing” sessions, devoid of doctrinal content. The Syllabus (Prop. 80) condemns the error that “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization.” This Meeting is that reconciliation: a festival of naturalistic “friendship among peoples” that ignores the enmity between the City of God and the City of Man (St. Augustine, De Civitate Dei).
Silence on the Supernatural: The Gravest Accusation
Not a single reference to the Most Holy Sacrifice, the Rosary, the conversion of the Jews or Muslims, the Fatima message (even the false one), the necessity of the Catholic Church for salvation. This silence is the locus theologicus of the apostasy. The Syllabus (Prop. 21) condemns: “The Church has not the power of defining dogmatically that the religion of the Catholic Church is the only true religion.” Pizzaballa’s silence is that definition in practice. He functions as an NGO coordinator, a diplomat for a “Holy See” that has become a state among states, having abdicated its munus docendi, sanctificandi, regendi over the nations. As Pius XI warned: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” The West Bank is “lawless” because the Vicar of Christ (the true one) is rejected, and his counterfeit representatives preach the rights of man instead of the Rights of God.
Conclusion: The Abomination of Desolation in the Holy Land
The tragedy of the Holy Land is not the absence of “international law” or “political agreements,” but the absence of the True Mass and the True Hierarchy. The “Latin Patriarchate” is a Masonic facade occupying the sacred sites, negotiating with the enemies of Christ for “space” to exist. Pizzaballa’s words are the lingua novissima of the Antichurch: bureaucratic, therapeutic, secular. Non est hic Deus. The only solution for the West Bank, for Gaza, for Jerusalem, for the world, is the restoration of the Catholic Church in her integrity — the Traditional Latin Mass, the unadulterated Faith, the submission of all nations to Christ the King. Until then, every “Cardinal,” every “Pope,” every “Meeting” is but theatrum mundi, a synagogue of Satan (Apoc. 2:9) distracting souls from the one thing necessary: Salus in Christo solo.
