EWTN News portal reports (September 30, 2026): the “apostolic nuncio” to Germany, Archbishop Hubertus van Megen, addressed the German “bishops'” autumn plenary in Fulda, declaring that the “Church’s visible unity rests on two pillars: the papacy and the Eucharist.” Without them, he warned, the “Church would become a mere federation of individual communities, or even a Christian-flavored NGO.” The “nuncio” cautioned that “synodality can never be the concern of individual groups alone,” while the “Vatican” continues reviewing the bylaws of the Synodal Conference born from the heretical Synodal Way. The gathering also discussed surrogacy and gene editing. This performance of “unity” by the representative of the usurper Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) is a calculated maneuver to legitimize the conciliar sect’s institutional survival while it implements the demolition of the Faith.
The Usurper’s Envoy Legitimizes Synodal Apostasy
The cited article relates the address of van Megen, a functionary of the structures occupying the Vatican, to the German “episcopate” — a body that has formally apostatized through its Synodal Way, endorsing the “blessing” of sodomite unions, women’s “ordination,” and the abolition of priestly celibacy. The “nuncio’s” rhetoric about the “Petrine ministry” and the “Eucharist” as “pillars of visible unity” is a diabolical inversion of Catholic theology. He speaks of a “pope” who is a manifest heretic, automatically deprived of jurisdiction ipso facto by divine law, and of a “Eucharist” celebrated in a rite that has been stripped of its propitiatory nature, reduced to a Protestantized “table of assembly.” As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches: “A manifest heretic, by that very fact, ceases to be Pope and head, just as he ceases to be a Christian and member of the body of the Church” (De Romano Pontifice, lib. 2, cap. 30). The “unity” van Megen defends is the unity of the abomination of desolation (Matt. 24:15), a paramasonic structure that has usurped the visible patrimony of the Church.
The “Petrine Ministry” of an Antipope: A Theological Impossibility
Van Megen asserts: “The pope safeguards the unity of faith and ecclesial communion.” This statement presupposes that the current claimant to the See of Peter, Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), possesses the munus petrinum. He does not. The line of usurpers began with John XXIII (Angelo Roncalli), who initiated the conciliar revolution. Each subsequent claimant — Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, Francis, and now Leo XIV — has publicly professed the heresies of Modernism: religious liberty, false ecumenism, collegiality subverting papal primacy, and the evolution of dogma. By the principle Cum ex Apostolatus Officio (Pope Paul IV, 1559), “if at any time it shall appear that any… Roman Pontiff… 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 Bull does not require a declaratory sentence; the defection itself effects the vacancy. Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code confirms: “Every office becomes vacant by the mere fact and without any declaration… if the cleric… publicly defects from the Catholic faith.” Fr. McDevitt clarifies: “Joining, or enrolling in, a non-Catholic sect is not required to establish the publicity which the canon demands.” Public heresy suffices. The “nuncio” serves an antipope; his “Petrine ministry” is a usurpation of sacred authority, a simulacrum of the primacy instituted by Christ.
The “Eucharist” of the New Rite: Symbol of Unity or Idolatry?
The “nuncio” claims: “The Eucharist is not merely a symbol of unity, but actually creates and strengthens the communion of the Church.” This is true of the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Altar, the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary, offered by a validly ordained priest in the true Mass (Tridentine Rite). It is false regarding the Novus Ordo Missae, fabricated by the Freemason Bugnini and promulgated by the antipope Paul VI in 1969. That rite alters the form of consecration, eliminates the Offertory’s explicit propitiatory language, replaces the altar with a table, and orients the “presider” toward the people — versus populum — signifying a meal, not a sacrifice. The “Eucharist” van Megen invokes is the idol of the conciliar sect. As the Syllabus of Errors (Pius IX, 1864) condemns: “The Church has not the power of using force, nor has she any temporal power, direct or indirect” (Error 24) — but the greater error today is the denial of the sacrificial nature of the Mass, condemned implicitly by the Council of Trent (Sess. XXII, can. 1-9). The “communion” created by the new rite is a communio in sacrilegio, a unity in apostasy.
Synodality: The Democratic Heresy Condemned by Pius IX and St. Pius X
Van Megen warns that “synodality can never be the concern of individual groups alone, while others are left behind.” The very term “synodality” as employed by the conciliar sect denotes the heresy of conciliarism — the idea that the Church’s governance is collegial in a democratic sense, that the “people of God” (a Modernist category) share in the teaching office, and that doctrine can evolve through “listening” and “dialogue.” This is the synthesis of all errors — Modernism — anathematized by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907) and the decree Lamentabili sane exitu. Proposition 53 of Lamentabili condemns: “The organic structure of the Church is subject to change, and the Christian community, like the human community, is subject to continuous evolution.” Proposition 54: “Dogmas, sacraments, and hierarchy… are merely modes of explanation and stages in the evolution of Christian consciousness.” The Synodal Way is the practical application of these condemned propositions. The “nuncio’s” call for “unity” with the “successor of Peter” while the German “bishops” implement this revolution is hypocrisy of the highest order — simulata sanctitas, duplex iniquitas (feigned sanctity, double iniquity).
Reduction of the Church’s Mission to Naturalistic Humanism
The article notes the “nuncio” warned against becoming a “Christian-flavored NGO.” This phrase exposes the naturalistic horizon of the conciliar sect. The true Church, as Pius XI teaches in Quas Primas (1925), is “a perfect society… demanding for itself by a right belonging to it, which it cannot renounce, full freedom and independence from secular authority.” Her mission is supernatural: the salvation of souls through the Sacraments, the preaching of the Gospel in its integrity, the Social Kingship of Christ over all nations. Pius XI declares: “His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ.” The “nuncio” speaks of “unity,” “communion,” “listening,” “new paths” — not one word of the Kingship of Christ, the necessity of the Catholic Faith for salvation (Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus), the duty of states to profess the true religion (condemned by Pius IX in Syllabus, Error 77: “In the present day it is no longer expedient that the Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of the State”), or the final judgment. This silence is the gravest accusation. The conciliar sect has ceased to be the Church because it has ceased to proclaim the integral Catholic Faith. It has become precisely what van Megen fears: an NGO — but one that retains the external signs to deceive the faithful.
The German Synodal Way: Open Rebellion Against Divine Law
The article mentions the “controversial Synodal Way” and the “Synodal Conference” whose bylaws the “Roman Curia” has been “reviewing since late March.” This “review” is a theatrical farce. The Synodal Way has already declared: the “blessing” of homosexual unions, the “ordination” of women, the abolition of mandatory celibacy, the democratization of Church governance. These are formal heresies and schismatic acts. The “Vatican’s” “talks since 2025” are not a defense of the Faith but a negotiation of surrender — managing the controlled demolition of Catholic discipline in Germany to prevent an open schism that would expose the vacancy of the See. The “bishops” Overbeck and Losinger speak against surrogacy and gene editing — natural law arguments devoid of supernatural authority. They possess no jurisdiction; they are intrusi (intruders) in the episcopal office, ordained in the invalid rite of 1968 or consecrated by such. As Pope Celestine I wrote of Nestorius: “He who has departed from the faith with such preaching cannot depose or remove anyone… he had already brought the divine judgment upon himself.” The German “episcopate” has departed from the Faith; its acts are null and void ab origine.
Silence on the Social Kingship of Christ: The Gravest Omission
The address of van Megen, the “press conference” of the “bishops,” the entire Fulda assembly — nowhere is Christ the King named. Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King precisely “to address the needs of the present times and provide a special remedy against the plague that poisons human society. And this plague is the secularism of our times, so-called laicism.” (Quas Primas). The “nuncio” speaks of “visible unity,” “communion,” “synodality” — categories of ecclesial bureaucracy. He does not speak of the rights of Christ the King over Germany, over Europe, over the world. He does not demand that the German state recognize the Catholic Church as the only true religion, that it conform its laws to the divine law, that it protect the unborn not as a “life-protection question” but as a divine commandment (Non occides). The Syllabus condemns: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55). The conciliar sect embraces this error under the guise of “religious freedom” and “healthy secularity.” Van Megen’s “unity” is unity in rebellion against the Kingship of Christ.
Conclusion: The Abomination of Desolation Standing in the Holy Place
The “nuncio” van Megen, the “bishops” of Germany, the “pope” Leo XIV — they are the personnel of the anti-church. Their “Petrine ministry” is a usurpation; their “Eucharist” is a simulation; their “synodality” is apostasy. The faithful who remain in the true Church — the Ecclesia militans persevering in the integral Catholic Faith, the Traditional Latin Mass, the doctrine of the Fathers and Councils, the Social Kingship of Christ — recognize these structures for what they are: the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:15). No communion is possible with them. Non possumus. The duty of every Catholic is to reject the conciliar sect entirely, to adhere to the true bishops and priests who have preserved valid orders and the true Faith, and to pray for the restoration of the Papacy and the conversion of the nations to the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church — extra quam nullus omnino salvatur.
