The EWTN News portal (December 16, 2025) reports on escalating tensions between French state inspectors and Catholic schools under government contract. The General Secretariat for Catholic Education (SGEC) document alleges inspectors engaged in “abusive” practices including: unannounced group inspections, photographing classrooms, searching student backpacks, and interrogating teachers about Mass attendance. While ostensibly responding to abuse scandals, these actions reveal the fundamental contradiction of Catholic institutions submitting to anti-Christian states – a direct fruit of the conciliar revolution’s suicidal embrace of secularism.
Secular Puppets Masquerading as Catholic Educators
The report’s lament over inspectors pressuring schools to remove Christian symbols proves these institutions surrendered their Catholic identity decades ago when signing the 1959 Debré Law. Qui se excusat, accusat (He who excuses himself, accuses himself) – by complaining about state overreach while accepting the state’s authority to inspect, the SGEC admits its complicity in the destruction of Catholic education. The alleged “distinctive character” of these schools exists only as a theatrical performance for parents clinging to cultural Catholicism, while their operational reality mirrors secular institutions.
Pius XI’s Divini Illius Magistri (1929) condemned this very surrender:
“It is necessary that all the teaching and the whole organization of the school… be regulated by the Christian spirit… under the direction and maternal supervision of the Church.”
The Vatican II sect’s conciliar document Gravissimum Educationis betrayed this principle by endorsing state control of education (n.6), directly enabling France’s current persecution. SGEC Secretary Guillaume Prévost’s claim that “there can be no freedom without control” inverts Catholic teaching – true educational freedom flows from submission to Christ the King, not bureaucratic oversight by anti-Catholic regimes.
Theological Consequences of Conciliar Apostasy
When inspectors demand removal of crucifixes and question teachers’ Eucharistic piety, they enact the logical conclusion of the “freedom of religion” heresy promulgated by Vatican II’s Dignitatis Humanae. The French state operates according to the condemned proposition:
“Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true” (Syllabus of Errors #15).
That Catholic educators now cry foul reveals their theological illiteracy – they helped build this anti-Christian system through decades of compromise.
The report’s outrage at inspectors photographing students’ “personal spiritual journals” exposes the neo-modernist reduction of faith to private sentiment. True Catholic formation demands the public integration of all knowledge under sacred principles, as Pius XI taught:
“There can be no true education which is not wholly directed to man’s last end” (Divini Illius Magistri).
By allowing secular authorities to dictate educational boundaries, these schools commit pedagogical apostasy.
From Sacristy to Police State: The Trajectory of Modernism
Emmanuel Macron’s government intensifies inspections under the pretext of preventing abuse, yet this merely continues the revolutionary program outlined in the Masonic document Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita:
“Let the clergy march under your banner in the belief they march under the banner of the Apostolic Keys.”
The 850+ inspections conducted in 2025 fulfill this directive by transforming Catholic schools into surveillance zones where teachers fear state reprisal for practicing the Faith.
This persecution was made inevitable when post-conciliar leaders abandoned Pius IX’s Syllabus condemnation of the notion that
“the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error #55).
French bishops’ continued groveling before secular power – exemplified by their empty protests against “intrusive” inspections while maintaining state contracts – confirms they serve the Masonic project of destroying Christ’s social reign.
The report’s admission that inspectors dismiss Catholic schools’ academic excellence (“students were already strong before enrollment”) reveals the state’s true aim: annihilating educational alternatives to its godless system. As St. Pius X warned in Pascendi Dominici Gregis, modernists reduce all religion to individual experience while empowering the state as ultimate authority.
Conclusion: Sheep Led to Slaughter
That 2 million French families entrust children to these state-controlled institutions proves the conciliar sect’s complete failure in its educational mission. Rather than forming saints, these schools produce compliant citizens for the anti-Christ regime. Until Catholics abandon the Vatican II sect’s suicidal “dialogue” with modernity and rebuild truly independent Catholic education – as done by faithful bishops like Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre before his compromise with modernism – such persecutions will intensify globally.
