The Conciliar Sect’s Immigration Spectacle: Naturalism Disguised as Piety
The Catholic News Agency portal reports on Archbishop Samuel Aquila and Auxiliary Bishop Jorge Rodriguez leading Stations of the Cross outside an ICE detention center in Aurora, Colorado, on November 22, 2025. The event, sponsored by the Committee for Pastoral Care for Migrants, drew hundreds from 36 parishes to protest mass deportations. Aquila denounced both political parties for “fail[ing] horribly” on immigration and endorsed the “Dignity Act” granting legal status to illegal immigrants. The article celebrates the USCCB’s November 12 statement opposing “indiscriminate mass deportation,” approved by 95% of voting bishops.
Subversion of the Stations of the Cross
The sacralization of political activism constitutes blasphemous appropriation of sacred liturgy. The Stations of the Cross exist solely to meditate on Christ’s Passion for the salvation of souls, not to stage protests against civil authorities. Quas Primas (1925) declares that Christ’s Kingship demands “the entire human race” submit to His law, yet Aquila’s spectacle reduces the Passion narrative to a vehicle for advancing anarcho-tyrannical immigration policies. When Rodriguez states the event reminds participants “of God’s love for all people… and for all those who are in need of our prayer,” he omits the sine qua non of prayer: the conversion of souls to the One True Faith. This naturalistic distortion mirrors Modernism’s evolution of dogma, condemned in Lamentabili Sane Exitu (1907) as reducing revelation to “man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20).
Erroneous Conception of Human Dignity
Aquila’s claim that “dignity comes from God and God alone” contains a half-truth masking grave error. While dignity originates in God, it is not an unconditional possession. The Council of Trent (Session VI, Canon 21) teaches that justification requires sanctifying grace – impossible for those persisting in mortal sin. Illegal border crossing violates Romans 13:1-7 and constitutes defiance of lawful authority. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864) condemns the notion that “the violation of any solemn oath… is altogether lawful and worthy of the highest praise when done through love of country” (Proposition 64). By equating dignity with mere existence rather than sanctification, Aquila promotes the Modernist heresy that grace is immanent within humanity rather than a supernatural gift.
USCCB’s Rebellion Against Divine Law
The USCCB’s statement opposing “indiscriminate mass deportation” constitutes direct defiance of the Church’s social doctrine. Leo XIII’s Immortale Dei (1885) affirms the state’s God-given authority to “make use of… punishments” for the common good. The bishops’ 216-5 vote reveals the conciliar sect’s wholesale apostasy from Catholic teaching on the state’s rights. Their plea to “end dehumanizing rhetoric” deliberately ignores that nations have both the right and duty to secure borders – a principle upheld in Pius XII’s Exsul Familia (1952), which distinguishes between refugees and economic migrants. The “Dignity Act” endorsed by Aquila would grant citizenship to those who “have been living here peacefully for 10, 20, 30 years” – a violation of Exodus 22:21 (“You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt“), which presupposes legal immigration.
Omissions Exposing Apostasy
The article’s silence on three critical matters exposes its theological bankruptcy:
1. No mention of Christ the King’s demand for nations to submit to His Social Reign (Quas Primas).
2. No call for immigrants’ conversion to Catholicism – the only means of salvation (Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus).
3. No warning that receiving “Communion” in post-conciliar structures constitutes idolatry due to invalid sacramental forms.
Aquila’s statement that “political parties… have failed every immigrant” hides the real failure: the conciliar sect’s refusal to preach that pax Christi in regno Christi (Pius XI) requires abolishing secular democracy and establishing Catholic confessional states.
From Catholic Action to Marxist Revolution
This spectacle completes the conciliar sect’s transformation into a NGO. When Aquila claims immigrants “need a path to citizenship,” he echoes UN migration agendas, not Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum (1891), which prioritized citizens’ rights over foreign populations. The event’s organizer – the Committee for Pastoral Care for Migrants – typifies the neo-church’s bureaucratic machinery advancing what Pius X called in Pascendi (1907) “the democratization of the Church.” By reducing the Passion to political theater, these pseudo-bishops confirm St. Pius X’s warning that Modernism leads to “the annihilation of all religion” (Lamentabili, Proposition 65).
