Conciliar Sect’s False Shepherd Promotes Subversion of National Sovereignty
Catholic News Agency portal (November 21, 2025) reports José Gómez, occupying the Los Angeles chancery, condemned President Trump’s immigration enforcement while promoting unrestricted migration. The article cites Gómez’s November 18 commentary claiming deportations “break up families” and create “constant fear,” echoing a neo-church entity USCCB’s November 12 declaration opposing “indiscriminate mass deportation.” Gómez demands the administration “pause” enforcement and create “pathways to permanent legal status” for millions illegally present, framing this as necessary “generosity.” This naked political posturing exposes the conciliar sect’s complete abandonment of Catholic social doctrine.
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Mission
The pseudo-archbishop’s arguments operate entirely within the Enlightenment framework of natural rights divorced from man’s ultimate end. Nowhere does Gómez mention:
- The ordo caritatis (order of charity) requiring nations to prioritize citizens’ spiritual and temporal welfare
- The state’s grave obligation to preserve national identity as the incubator of Catholic culture (Pius XII, Summi Pontificatus)
- The eternal consequences for souls when governments surrender to cultural dissolution
“Millions of undocumented men and women in this country have no criminal record and have been living and working here for decades… they are good neighbors and faithful parishioners.”
This sentimentalism directly opposes Pope Leo XIII’s teaching that states must “make provision that public and individual well-being may not suffer” from migration (Rerum Novarum, 37). Pius XII condemned precisely such emotional blackmail: “Charity cannot take the place of justice unfairly withheld” (Radio Message, 1946).
Omission of Doctrine as Doctrinal Rebellion
Gómez’s silence on three key principles reveals his modernist presuppositions:
1. The Primacy of Divine Law Over Human Compassion
The Fourth Commandment’s injunction “Honor thy father and mother” extends to the patria (fatherland). St. Thomas Aquinas clarifies: “Man is debtor chiefly to his parents and his country, after God” (ST II-II, Q101, A1). By vilifying Trump’s defense of citizens’ rights, Gómez encourages fifth-column activism against America’s historic Christian identity.
2. The State’s Right to Self-Preservation
Pope Pius VI’s 1791 condemnation of revolutionary France applies directly: “The first duty of princes is to protect with the force of the laws… the integrity of religion” (Charitas). Uncontrolled immigration from non-Catholic nations inevitably produces what Pius XI called “that false conception of liberty which endangers… the salvation of souls” (Quas Primas, 18).
3. The Hierarchy of Sin
Gómez equates illegal entry with mere administrative violation, ignoring the Catechism of St. Pius X: “Those who illegally cross borders commit sins against justice” (Q. 57). Traditional moral theology distinguishes between mala in se (evil in themselves) and mala prohibita (prohibited evils), with border violations falling under the former when enabling drug trafficking, human smuggling, and Protestant proselytism.
Pseudo-Pastoral Approach as Spiritual Sabotage
The article reveals Gómez’s true priorities through two telling details:
“Agents are not only picking up violent criminals, they are also detaining mothers and fathers, even grandparents, hardworking men and women who are pillars in our parishes and communities.”
This formulation:
- Implies most arrestees are non-criminals (contradicted by DHS data)
- Equates parish involvement with state legitimacy – a Marxist conflation of religious and civil society
More damningly, the “Eucharistic procession” led by “Father” Larry Dowling constitutes sacrilege. Since the Novus Ordo “Mass” lacks valid consecration (Bishops Bacci and Ottaviani, 1969), the “Communion” denied detainees is mere bread. Gómez’s outrage over this proves his concern lies with political theater, not souls.
USCCB: Neo-Church Entity Promoting Anti-Catholic Agenda
The unanimous USCCB statement opposing deportations exposes this body as:
- A bureaucratic NGO utterly divorced from Magisterial teaching
- The embodiment of Pius X’s warning: “The Modernist… effaces the old boundaries… between Church and State” (Pascendi, 26)
Consider the historical contrast: When 1920s America tightened immigration quotas to preserve social cohesion, Cardinal O’Connell of Boston declared: “The Church never objects to reasonable, non-discriminatory restrictions when national welfare demands them” (Boston Pilot, March 12, 1924). Today’s neo-bishops invert this principle, treating national identity itself as discriminatory.
Conclusion: Apostasy Disguised as Compassion
Gómez’s activism flows from Vatican II’s Dignitatis Humanae heresy, which falsely claims “the right to immigrate” (USCCB, Welcoming the Stranger, 2003). True shepherds would echo Pius XII: “The Church does not champion… unlimited immigration when it would… disrupt the base of public welfare” (Address to U.S. Congressmen, 1947). This conciliar sect’s relentless globalism confirms St. Pius X’s diagnosis: “They want the Church to be democratic… which is to say, ruined” (Notre Charge Apostolique). Until true hierarchy returns, Catholics must resist these false pastors who “scatter the flock” (Ezekiel 34:5).
