ACI Prensa reports on the Colombian Senate’s December 15, 2025 approval of Bill 131-2025, which recognizes the “historical, religious, and cultural value” of the Church of the National Vow in Bogotá – a basilica built to fulfill the 1902 national consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Senator Mauricio Giraldo framed the law as “caring for the soul of a country” and celebrating postwar reconciliation after the Thousand Days’ War (1899-1902). The legislation enables state funding for structural repairs to the deteriorating building.
State-Sanctioned Sacrilege Masquerading as Piety
The law’s reductio ad cultura exposes the conciliar sect’s abandonment of Regnum Christi (the Kingship of Christ) as articulated by Pius XI: “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” (Quas Primas, 1925). By reducing this consecration church to a mere “historical monument,” the Colombian regime – like all modernist states – denies the Constitutio Catholica requiring nations to publicly profess Christ as Sovereign (Ps 2:10-12).
Senator Giraldo’s claim that “Colombia cannot renounce its roots” rings hollow when the same legislature enforces abortion “rights,” gender ideology, and religious indifferentism – directly violating Pius IX’s condemnation that “the State must be separated from the Church” is an “insanity” (Syllabus of Errors, 1864, Error 55). The bill’s sole purpose is to museumify Catholicism as a dead cultural artifact rather than the living depositum fidei.
Sacred Heart Devotion Gutted of Supernatural Essence
The original 1902 consecration occurred under President José Manuel Marroquín Ricaurte’s Catholic government, which understood the ex debito duty of states to honor Christ the King. Today’s consecration “recognition” by apostate authorities parallels the conciliar sect’s betrayal of the Annum Sacrum (1899) spirit, where Leo XIII mandated that consecrations “must be productive of salutary results” through public acts of reparation and conversion.
Notably absent is any call for Colombia to:
1. Abrogate its blasphemy laws protecting pagan “religious feelings” (Art. 46 of 1991 Constitution)
2. Criminalize abortion (legalized up to 24 weeks in 2022)
3. End state sponsorship of LGBTQ+ events
This omission confirms the consecration’s reduction to empty sentimentalism – precisely what Pius XI warned against when condemning “that false piety which makes God recede from public life” (Quas Primas, 24).
Structural Decay Mirrors Ecclesial Apostasy
The physical deterioration of the basilica (requiring “protective netting“) iconizes the conciliar sect’s theological collapse. Paul VI’s 1964 designation as minor basilica – during Vatican II’s auto-demolition – marked the beginning of its symbolic co-optation by modernists. As documented in Lamentabili Sane (1907), theological modernists reduce sacraments to “something accessory to the contract… binding in action rather than belief” (Error 26), rendering churches mere architectural shells.
ACI Prensa’s celebration of this law – while ignoring Colombia’s 4,000 annual abortions and persecution of faithful priests – exemplifies the conciliar sect’s method: replace supernatural faith with humanitarian rhetoric. No mention is made of the true solution: Colombia’s return to the Social Reign of Christ through the consecratio mundi demanded by Pius XI, not state-funded façade repairs.
The Colombian regime’s embrace of this hollow gesture follows the conciliar playbook of “signs without substance,” exposing its adherence to the condemned proposition that “the Church ought to be separated from the State” (Syllabus, Error 55). Until the Sacred Heart is acknowledged as Colombia’s Rex et Dominus (King and Lord) through legislative submission to Catholic truth, this “law” remains a satanic parody of consecration.
