The EWTN News portal (September 25, 2026) publishes a weekly roundup of the conciliar sect’s global activities: a Catholic Relief Services convoy attacked in Ethiopia; Kazakhstan’s abolition of the death penalty celebrated by “Pontifical Mission Societies” director; a South African “archbishop” condemning femicide; French Catholic schools mandated to celebrate antipope Leo XIV’s arrival; a Maronite-French novena for the usurper’s “apostolic journey”; a Franciscan jubilee concert in Bahrain; Caritas Indonesia housing projects; and a Canadian “bishop” seeking to preserve a cathedral slated for demolition. This catalogue of naturalistic humanitarianism, false ecumenism, and submission to secular power confirms the total eclipse of the regnum Christi in the structures occupying the Vatican.
The Conciliar Sect’s Humanitarianism as Substitute for the Supernatural Mission
The lead item concerns a Catholic Relief Services convoy—an NGO of the conciliar sect—struck by a drone in Tigray. The report notes the U.S. State Department condemned the strike and the Catholic Eparchy of Adigrat appealed to international humanitarian law. Nowhere is there mention of the Social Kingship of Christ, the conversion of souls, or the necessity of the Church’s munus docendi, sanctificandi, regendi. Pius XI teaches: “The state must leave the same freedom to the members of Orders and Congregations… who are indeed the most valiant helpers of the Pastors of the Church and contribute most to the expansion and establishment of Christ’s Kingdom” (Quas Primas). The conciliar sect’s “charity” is purely horizontal, stripped of the vertical dimension of grace, reducing the Church to a secular relief agency. As the Syllabus condemns: “The teaching of the Catholic Church is hostile to the well-being and interests of society” (Error 40)—a lie the conciliar sect lives by inverting the Church’s mission to temporal welfare.
Abolition of the Death Penalty: Rejection of Divine Justice and Natural Law
Father Gabriel Jocher, “national director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in Kazakhstan,” hails the abolition of capital punishment as “a reason for joy” because “Human dignity is not lessened even when a person has committed a serious crime.” This is modernist anthropocentrism masquerading as Christian mercy. St. Thomas Aquinas (Summa Theologiae II-II, q. 64, a. 2) and the constant Magisterium affirm the State’s God-given right to execute malefactors for the common good. Pius XII taught: “Even in the case of the death penalty the State does not dispose of the individual’s right to life. Rather public authority limits itself to depriving the offender of the good of life in expiation of his guilt” (Address to Italian Jurists, 1952). The conciliar sect’s “joy” at abolishing the death penalty signals its apostasy from the order of justice, replacing justitia with sentimental humanitarianism. The Syllabus condemns: “Moral laws do not stand in need of the divine sanction” (Error 56)—precisely the error embodied here.
False Ecumenism and the Cult of the Antipope
The roundup reveals the conciliar sect’s obsession with the usurper Leo XIV (Robert Prevost). French Catholic schools are ordered to “replace regular lessons with activities focused on the Pope, the Catholic Church and various social issues” for his arrival—a compulsory personality cult for an antipope. The Maronite Diocese of Antelias and the Diocese of Lyon pray a novena “to accompany Pope Leo XIV on his apostolic journey.” This is falsa religio. The Cum ex Apostolatus Officio of Paul IV declares that a heretic elevated to the papacy is “null, void, and of no effect”; the Defense of Sedevacantism demonstrates that a manifest heretic loses office ipso facto (Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice). Leo XIV, as successor of the conciliar antipopes from John XXIII onward, is a public heretic professing religious liberty, false ecumenism, and the new Mass. Praying for his “journey” is praying for the consolidation of the abominatio desolationis.
The Franciscan Jubilee: Sentimentalism Replaces the Seraphic Cross
In Bahrain, the “Franciscan jubilee” is marked by “an evening of music, storytelling, and prayer… focusing on Franciscan themes including simplicity, humility, fraternity, prayer, peace, and care for creation.” Bishop Aldo Berardi emphasizes peace as “first a gift from God rather than simply a human achievement.” This vaporizes the Franciscan charism of militia Christi, the stigmata, and the Crusade for souls. St. Francis sought the conversion of the Sultan, not interreligious dialogue. The conciliar sect’s “Franciscanism” is a neo-pagan nature worship, consistent with the Modernist error condemned in Lamentabili Sane Exitu: “Christ did not proclaim any specific, all-encompassing doctrine suitable for all times and peoples, but rather initiated a certain religious movement” (Prop. 59).
Caritas Indonesia: Corporate Philanthropy Without the Cross
Caritas Indonesia’s “Gerakan Rumah Belarasa” hands over 100 houses to flood victims. The report is purely sociological: “permanent housing,” “humanitarian initiative.” No mention of the Corporal Works of Mercy as acts of caritas Christi urget nos (2 Cor 5:14), no priestly blessing, no call to conversion. This is the Masonic “humanitarianism” denounced by Leo XIII in Humanum Genus—charity severed from Christ, serving the civitas terrena alone. The Syllabus condemns: “The civil government… has a right to an indirect negative power over religious affairs” (Error 41)—the conciliar sect’s NGOs operate precisely under such secular tutelage.
The Demolition of Christendom: Cathedrals as Real Estate
Bishop Michel Proulx of Bathurst seeks to save Sacred Heart Cathedral from demolition due to “heating costs.” A layman organizes a “Public Square Rosary Crusade” to “pray for the revitalization of the Church in Canada.” This reduces the House of God to a heritage building, its sacred character dependent on utility bills. The true Church builds cathedrals for the Sacrificium Laudis and the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary; the conciliar sect closes them for “financial sustainability.” Pius XI warned: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed” (Quas Primas). The cathedral’s demise is the visible fruit of the laicism the conciliar sect embraced at Vatican II.
Systemic Apostasy: The Conciliar Sect as Abominatio Desolationis
Every item in this roundup manifests the theological bankruptcy of the post-1958 structures:
- Humanitarianism replaces supernatural charity (Ethiopia, Indonesia).
- Sentimental opposition to just punishment replaces divine justice (Kazakhstan).
- Gender ideology rhetoric (“gender-based violence”) replaces Catholic moral theology (South Africa).
- State-subsidized schools forced to honor an antipope replaces libertas Ecclesiae (France).
- False ecumenical prayer for a usurper replaces unitas fidei (Lebanon/France).
- Concertized religiosity replaces seraphic sanctity (Bahrain).
- Preservationism replaces sacrality (Canada).
The Syllabus of Errors (1864) condemns the very principles animating this roundup: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Error 80). The conciliar sect is that reconciliation. Lamentabili Sane Exitu condemns the Modernist root: “The Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics, because it steadfastly adheres to its views, which cannot be reconciled with modern progress” (Prop. 63). The conciliar sect has “reconciled” by surrendering.
Conclusion: No Salvation in the Conciliar Sect
This weekly digest is a catalogue of the non serviam of the conciliar sect. It possesses no sacramental validity (new rites, invalid ordinations post-1968), no juridical authority (usurpers from John XXIII), no doctrinal integrity (Vatican II heresies). The faithful must flee these structures (fugite de medio Babylonis, Jer 51:6) and cleave to the permanent Magisterium of Pius XII and his predecessors, the valid bishops and priests preserving the Traditio, and the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary. “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12)—not the name of Leo XIV, not the name of “humanitarianism,” not the name of “dialogue.” Only Christus Rex.
