The Pillar Catholic portal reports that UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, a lifelong adherent of the conciliar sect, intends to abolish the statutory prohibition preventing Catholics and Jews from advising the Crown on Anglican ecclesiastical appointments. Burnham has already delegated this function to the Lord Chancellor, Alex Norris, and promises legislation to remove the “archaic anomaly.” The article details the historical background of the Reformation settlement and notes the National Secular Society’s approval. This maneuver exposes the intrinsic compatibility between post-conciliar “Catholicism” and the Masonic project of eradicating the Social Kingship of Christ.
The Conciliar “Catholic” as Agent of the Revolution
The article presents Mr. Burnham not as a politician who happens to be baptized, but as the “first lifelong Catholic to serve as prime minister” who acts qua Catholic to dismantle a legal safeguard erected precisely to prevent the scandal of a Catholic head of government exercising spiritual jurisdiction over a heretical establishment. This is the rotten fruit of the conciliar “laity” formation: a “Catholic” who believes his faith imposes no barrier to collaborating with the ecclesia haereticorum. The Syllabus of Errors condemns the proposition that “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Error 80). Mr. Burnham, operating within the paramasonic structures of the neo-church, embodies this condemned reconciliation. He does not seek the conversion of England to the true Faith; he seeks the integration of the conciliar sect into the Protestant establishment.
The 1829 Act: A Barrier Against Syncretism, Not a “Discriminatory Anomaly”
The Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829, while a capitulation to political liberalism, contained a residual wisdom in its prohibition: it acknowledged the logical and theological impossibility of a member of the One True Church advising a schismatic monarch on the governance of a sect born of rebellion against Rome. Burnham calls this “unacceptable… legislative bar” an “archaic anomaly.” The language is telling: anomaly implies a deviation from the norm; the norm for the modernist is religious indifferentism. The Syllabus anathematizes the error that “Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true” (Error 15) and that “Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation” (Error 16). By demanding the “right” to advise on Anglican bishoprics, Burnham practically professes these condemned errors. He treats the Anglican hierarchy as a legitimate ecclesiastical body requiring his input, thereby denying the necessitas medii salutis (necessity of the means of salvation) found only in the Catholic Church.
The British Constitutional Order: A Monument to the Rights of Man Over the Rights of God
The article correctly traces the “peculiarity” to the Act of Supremacy 1534 and the Act of Settlement 1701. This constitutional order is intrinsically anti-Catholic, founded on the usurpation of Christ’s rights by the State. Pius XI in Quas Primas teaches that “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states and when authority was derived not from God but from men, the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” The British system derives authority from Parliament, not God. The Syllabus condemns the proposition that “The State, as being the origin and source of all rights, is endowed with a certain right not circumscribed by any limits” (Error 39) and that “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55). Burnham’s initiative is not a “correction” but a further entrenchment of the Masonic separation. By seeking to function seamlessly within this godless framework, the conciliar “Catholic” premier ratifies the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place of English public life.
The National Secular Society: The Masonic Hand Guiding the “Reform”
The article notes the National Secular Society (NSS) wrote to Cabinet Office minister Louise Haigh “calling for an end to the ‘discriminatory provisions'” and that Burnham’s announcement “came after” this pressure. This is the modus operandi of the Masonic lodges documented in the analysis of the False Fatima Apparitions: “Stage 3 (1958-2000): Takeover of the narrative by modernists, concealment of the Third Secret, ecumenical reinterpretation.” The NSS, a front for the synagogue of Satan (Pius IX, Quanta Cura), dictates the agenda; the conciliar “Catholic” premier executes it. The “discrimination” they decry is the discriminatio veritatis — the distinction between truth and error. The Syllabus condemns the error that “The civil liberty of every form of worship… conduce more easily to corrupt the morals and minds of the people, and to propagate the pest of indifferentism” is false (Error 79). The NSS and Burnham are united in propagating this pest.
The Pillar Catholic Portal: Propaganda Organ of the Neo-Church
The source, Pillar Catholic, frames this assault on Catholic integrity as straightforward news, even detailing the procedural history of the Crown Nominations Commission and the reduction of the PM’s role by Gordon Brown in 2007. It mentions Tony Blair (received into the conciliar sect after office) and Boris Johnson (baptized “Catholic,” confirmed Anglican, married in a “Catholic” ceremony) as precedents. This is normalization of apostasy. The portal does not quote a single pre-1958 doctrinal source, nor does it mention the duty of the Catholic layman to profess the faith publicly (Canon 1325, 1917 Code) rather than administer heretical appointments. It functions as a pravda for the Church of the New Advent, celebrating the erasure of the last legal remnant of England’s Catholic past.
The Theological Impossibility of a Catholic Advising Heretics
Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code states an office becomes vacant “if the cleric… Publicly defects from the Catholic faith.” While Burnham is a layman, the principle applies a fortiori: a Catholic who publicly exercises authority over a heretical sect defects from the faith by action. The Defense of Sedevacantism file cites Bellarmine: “A non-Christian in no way can be Pope… he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian.” By advising the King on Anglican appointments, Burnham would formally recognize the Anglican “bishops” as legitimate pastors, thereby communicating in sacris with heretics — a grave sin forbidden by divine and ecclesiastical law (Canon 1258, 1917 Code). The 1829 ban was a civil recognition of this divine prohibition. Its removal by a “Catholic” is the ipso facto signature of his apostasy from the integral Faith.
Conclusion: The Unmasking of the Conciliar Laity’s Apostasy
This event is not a minor constitutional tweak. It is the public manifestation of the total theological bankruptcy of the conciliar “laity.” They have absorbed the Masonic principle that religion is a private hobby, irrelevant to public duty. Pius XI warned in Quas Primas that “the plague that poisons human society… is the secularism of our times, so-called laicism.” Burnham, the “Catholic” Premier, is the vector of this plague. The true Church, enduring in the catacombs of Tradition, rejects this spectacle. Non praevalebunt (Mt 16:18). The gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church of Christ the King, no matter how many “Catholic” premiers legislate her into the dustbin of history.
