The EWTN News portal reports that the Texas “bishops” of the conciliar sect congratulated Democratic candidates who swept every statewide office in the November 2026 midterms, including an incoming “Attorney General” who explicitly vows to refuse enforcement of Texas pro-life statutes. The “bishops” offered prayers for “wisdom” to these enemies of the unborn while issuing a legislative agenda paying lip service to “human dignity” and “the natural family.” “Archbishop” Gustavo García-Siller of San Antonio separately urged Catholics to “remain actively engaged in civic life,” citing the false “pope” Leo XIV’s mail-in vote and calling for “unity,” “dialogue,” and a “civilization of love.” This grotesque spectacle of prelates legitimizing baby-killers exposes the conciliar sect’s total apostasy from the Social Kingship of Christ.
Legitimization of the Ministers of Death
The central atrocity of the Texas “bishops'” statement is the congratulation of politicians elected on a platform of child sacrifice. The article notes Democrats “won every major statewide office” and that “Attorney general-elect and pro-abortion Democrat Nathan Johnson has already said he will not continue outgoing Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton’s lawsuits against out-of-state providers who have illegally mailed abortion pills into Texas.” Johnson declares he “will respect other states’ shield laws but will not enforce Texas’ pro-life laws.”
The “bishops” respond not with canonical censures, not with ferendae sententiae excommunication warnings (Canon 2314, 1917 Code: “Those who procure abortion incur excommunication latae sententiae”), but with prayers for “wisdom” for the executioners. This is not pastoral charity; it is crimen laesae majestatis divinae (crime against divine majesty). St. Pius X teaches in Notre Charge Apostolique (1910): “Catholic doctrine tells us that the primary duty of charity does not lie in the toleration of false ideas… but in the zeal for their correction.” To “congratulate” a man who pledges to facilitate the murder of the innocent is to become particeps criminis (participant in the crime). The “bishops” have publicly defected from the Catholic faith by recognizing as legitimate governors those who wage war on Christ the King’s littlest subjects.
The Phantom “Pope” Leo XIV and the Chain of Usurpation
“Archbishop” García-Siller invokes “Pope Leo XIV cast a mail-in ballot from the Vatican.” This refers to Robert Prevost, the latest usurper in the line beginning with Angelo Roncalli (John XXIII). The conciliar sect’s “pope” voting in a secular election is a scandalous manifestation of the heresy of religious liberty condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus Errorum (1864), Prop. 77: “In the present day it is no longer expedient that the Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of the State.”
Leo XIV’s participation in the democratic farce signifies the conciliar sect’s de facto recognition of the secular state as the supreme ordering principle of society — a direct repudiation of Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925): “Peace is only possible in the kingdom of Christ… When God and Jesus Christ were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” The “archbishop” citing this antipope as a model of civic virtue demonstrates that the conciliar hierarchy derives its legitimacy from the revolution, not from Christ.
False Titles, Invalid Orders, Null Authority
The article speaks of “bishops,” “archbishop,” “attorney general,” “Catholic Conference of Bishops.” Per the Defense of Sedevacantism file: “A Pope-manifest heretic loses his office automatically… By notorious and publicly manifested heresy, the Roman Pontiff… is deprived ipso facto of his personal jurisdiction even before any declaratory sentence by the Church.” The same principle applies to all who adhere to the conciliar apostasy. The “bishops” of Texas — ordained in the novus ordo rite of Paul VI (1968), which the Ottaviani Intervention demonstrated defects in form and intention for sacramental validity — possess no jurisdiction, no orders, no mission. They are pseudo-episcopi (false bishops) occupying sees vacated by their own heresy. Their “legislative agenda” has the moral weight of a Masonic lodge resolution.
“Catholic Social Teaching” — The Naturalist Counterfeit
The “bishops” claim “the principles of Catholic social and moral teaching that guide our work remain unchanged.” They cite “human dignity,” “strengthen families,” “care for the vulnerable and creation,” “promote the common good.” This is the language of Masonic humanitarianism, not Catholic theology. Pius XI in Quas Primas defines Christ’s Kingship as legislative, judicial, executive — a threefold authority over all creatures. The conciliar “social teaching” reduces this to NGO advocacy for “abortion alternatives” and “ethical AI”.
Note the telling omissions: no mention of the Social Reign of Christ the King, no call for the criminalization of abortion as a crime crying to heaven, no invocation of Canon 188.4 (1917 Code) on automatic vacancy for public defection from the faith, no reference to Pope Pius IX’s Syllabus condemning “the Church ought to be separated from the State” (Prop. 55). The “bishops” capitulate to the secular order while mouthing Catholic slogans — the definition of laicism condemned by Pius XI: “the denial of Christ the Lord’s reign over all nations.”
Dialogue, Consensus, “Civilization of Love” — The Vocabulary of Betrayal
García-Siller calls for “political dialogue and building consensus, so that we may find common ground among our diversity” and “unity to be fostered in order to move forward in freedom to discuss difficult topics more deeply in light of the Gospel.” This is the heresy of false ecumenism applied to politics. Quas Primas declares: “The more the sweetest Name of our Redeemer is omitted with unworthy silence in international gatherings and parliaments, the more loudly it must be confessed.” There is no “common ground” with advocates of infanticide. 2 Cor 6:14-15: “What participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness?” The “civilization of love” is the Masonic “universal brotherhood” without the Fatherhood of God — the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place.
EWTN: The Propaganda Arm of the Conciliar Sect
The article originates from EWTN News, the media network founded by the late Mother Angelica, now fully integrated into the conciliar structure. The reporter, Amira Abuzeid, is described as “a senior editor at EWTN News with a special interest in bioethics, technology, theology, and religion in public life.” The framing — “bishops congratulated Democratic winners,” “reaffirm pro-life and family agenda” — normalizes the contradiction. EWTN functions as controlled opposition, providing a veneer of orthodoxy while legitimizing the false hierarchy and its political collaborationism. The “pro-life” movement cited (Texas Right to Life, John Seago) operates entirely within the democratic framework, reducing the defense of the unborn to lobbying rather than proclaiming Christus Vincit.
The Theological Bankruptcy of “Civic Engagement”
García-Siller urges: “Following Tuesday’s election results, I strongly encourage all to remain actively engaged in civic life.” This is the Pelagian temptation — salvation through political action. The true Church teaches extra Ecclesiam nulla salus and that the primary duty of the baptized is the salvation of souls, not “civic engagement.” Pius XI: “Let rulers of states therefore not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ… if they wish to maintain their authority inviolate.” The “archbishop” inverts this: he asks the faithful to obey the rulers as if they were legitimate, while the rulers spit on Christ’s Crown.
The article notes “Republicans retained control of the Texas Senate, a fact noted by some pro-life advocates as a potential check on legislative changes.” This political calculus — hoping for a “backstop” from one party of the Masonic duopoly — is the death of Catholic political theology. St. Pius X in Lamentabili Sane Exitu (1907) condemns: “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, condemned). The conciliar sect has reconciled itself to modern progress — democracy, religious liberty, “human rights” — and thus cannot defend the innocent.
Conclusion: The Abomination Stands Confirmed
The Texas “bishops'” statement is not a momentary lapse but the logical fruit of Vatican II’s Dignitatis Humanae and Gaudium et Spes. By congratulating pro-abortion victors, invoking the antipope, speaking the language of the United Nations, and urging “dialogue” with Moloch, they manifest the mysterium iniquitatis (mystery of iniquity) foretold by St. Paul. Quas Primas promised: “If men were ever to recognize Christ’s royal authority over themselves, both privately and publicly, then unheard-of blessings would flow upon the whole society.” The conciliar hierarchy refuses this recognition. They have chosen Barabbas. The faithful must withdraw all recognition, obedience, and financial support from these usurpers, adhere to bishops of valid orders and jurisdiction holding the integral Faith, and pray for the restoration of the Social Kingship of Christ — the only remedy for the civitas diaboli now ruling Texas and the world.
