Humanitarian Conference Masks Radical Departure From Catholic Social Doctrine
The Vatican News portal (December 11, 2025) reports on an anti-trafficking conference organized by the Institute of Anthropology of the Pontifical Gregorian University, featuring Hans Zollner, Kevin Hyland, and Michel Veuthey. Marking 25 years since the Palermo Protocol, the event emphasized strengthening legal standards and mobilizing resources against human trafficking. Speakers included UN Special Rapporteur Mama Fatima Singateh and Santa Marta Group member Kevin Hyland, who lamented insufficient global progress despite 50 million trafficking victims worldwide. The article praises religious sisters’ work and quotes “Pope” Leo XIV’s purported concerns, framing the Church’s role through secular activism rather than supernatural mission.
Reduction of Church’s Mission to Naturalistic Humanism
The conference’s exclusive focus on legal frameworks and material metrics (“USD 236 billion in criminal profit,” “1.5 billion invested by G20 countries”) reveals the conciliar sect’s complete capitulation to Enlightenment rationalism. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) explicitly condemned such naturalism, declaring: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony.” By reducing the Church’s mission to optimizing UN protocols and “best practices,” organizers deny the primacy of grace and the necessity of societal submission to Christ’s sovereignty.
Erasure of Supernatural Finality
Nowhere does the article mention the state of grace, sacramental life, or eternal salvation—the very raison d’être of Catholic social action. This silence exposes the modernist heresy condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864): “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error #55). Mama Fatima Singateh’s statement that “the Church has a very important role in supporting communities… raising awareness on the vulnerability of children” reduces the Mystical Body to a NGO, directly contradicting Leo XIII’s teaching in Rerum Novarum (1891) that temporal aid must always serve man’s ultimate supernatural end.
Illegitimate Actors Promoting Structural Apostasy
The conference’s organizers embody the conciliar revolution’s corruption:
1. Hans Zollner: Former member of the disgraced “Pontifical” Commission for the Protection of Minors, which operated without canonical mandate. His Institute of Anthropology promotes Freudian and Jungian psychologies condemned by Pius XII in Humani Generis (1950).
2. Kevin Hyland: Santa Marta Group participant who praised Bergoglio’s “leadership” despite his heretical statements on marriage and Communion for adulterers.
3. Michel Veuthey: Ambassador of the Sovereign Order of Malta—an organization schismatically aligned with antipopes since 2017.
These figures’ appeal to “the incredible work” of religious sisters constitutes spiritual exploitation. Authentic apostolic orders like the Sisters of Charity (founded by St. Vincent de Paul) prioritized saving souls from eternal damnation, not UN policy goals. The sisters referenced here likely belong to dissident congregations that abandoned habits, cloister, and orthodoxy post-Vatican II.
Contraception of Justice Through False Mercy
Hyland’s call to “address human suffering with passion, compassion and love” invokes the conciliar sect’s signature false mercy—a sentimental substitute for justice. Contrast this with Pius XI’s condemnation in Divini Redemptoris (1937): “Those who pretend to reform society… while they reject or neglect the supernatural life, are marching straight to the ruin of society.” True Catholic action demands:
– Public reparation for sins enabling trafficking (pornography, fornication, divorce)
– Restoration of the death penalty for traffickers (Romans 13:4)
– Mandatory consecration of nations to Christ the King
Instead, organizers parrot UN agendas that “protect” children while promoting comprehensive sexuality education—a grooming tool denounced by Pius XI in Divini Illius Magistri (1929).
Symptomatic Omission of Divine Judgment
The article’s concluding quote from Kevin Hyland—“Your deeds are what you’re measured on, not your words”—embodies the Pelagianism Bergoglio institutionalized. This rejects St. Paul’s teaching: “By grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8). Nowhere do organizers mention God’s impending judgment on traffickers and complacent societies—a central theme in Catholic preaching from St. John the Baptist to St. Pius X.
The event’s venue—the “Pontifical” Gregorian University—epitomizes the conciliar sect’s betrayal. Once a bastion of Thomism under Jesuit stewardship, it now hosts heretics like Fr. Jacques Dupuis and facilitates the very modernism St. Pius X anathematized in Lamentabili Sane (1907).
