Conciliar Sect Advances Apostasy with Tucson “Bishop” Appointment
The Vatican News portal (December 22, 2025) reports the appointment of James A. Misko as “bishop” of Tucson by antipope Leo XIV. The article emphasizes Misko’s administrative roles in the Austin diocese, his restaurant industry background, and Spanish language proficiency. It frames the appointment as routine hierarchical succession, ignoring the absence of valid sacramental authority in the conciliar sect. The report exemplifies the neo-church’s obsession with bureaucratic management over supernatural mission.
Canonical Nullity of Masonic Succession
The so-called appointment violates Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code which declares that any cleric publicly defecting from Catholic faith automatically loses office. Since the conciliar sect promotes religious liberty (contrary to Quanta Cura), New Mass (condemned in De Defectibus), and ecuмenism (anathematized in Mortalium Animos), all participants in this false hierarchy stand excommunicated latae sententiae. Pius V’s Regnans in Excelsis confirms that heretics forfeit all jurisdiction, making Misko’s “ordination” canonically nonexistent.
“Misko has been serving as vicar general and moderator of the curia for the Diocese of Austin”
This bureaucratic language exposes the conciliar sect’s reduction of priesthood to administrative function. Contrast this with Pius X’s condemnation in Pascendi §6: “Modernists make the non-existent magisterium of the Church dependent upon religious sentiment.” True bishops govern as “stewards of the mysteries of God” (1 Cor 4:1), not corporate managers.
False Sacraments from Invalid Form
Misko’s 2007 “priestly ordination” occurred under Paul VI’s invalid rites, declared doubtful by Cardinals Ottaviani and Bacci in their 1969 Critical Study. The elimination of the Accipe Spiritum Sanctum and intentional ambiguity regarding sacrificial priesthood render all conciliar orders null. Leo XIII’s Apostolicae Curae established that defect of form and intention invalidates sacraments – a principle applying doubly to the neo-church’s modernist rites.
“He earned a bachelor’s degree in communications from St. Edward’s University”
The emphasis on secular education over Thomistic formation reveals the sect’s naturalism. Pius X warned in Lamentabili §12: “The decrees of the Apostolic See impede true progress.” By valuing communications degrees over dogmatic theology, the conciliar sect confirms its apostasy from Dei Filius‘s teaching that faith precedes reason.
Symptomatic Silence on Doctrine
The article’s glaring omissions manifest the neo-church’s anti-dogmatic stance:
- No mention of defending Quas Primas‘ social kingship of Christ
- No reference to combating heresy – the bishop’s primary duty (Titus 1:9)
- Absence of any supernatural purpose for episcopal office
This mirrors Pius X’s condemnation: “Modernists deny that the Church has any native right to govern” (Pascendi §24). By focusing on linguistic and managerial competencies rather than doctrinal fidelity, the sect reduces the episcopacy to NGO leadership.
Ecumenical Betrayal in Hispanic Strategy
The emphasis on Misko’s Spanish proficiency continues Bergoglio’s hispanicization heresy – treating the Faith as ethnic identity rather than universal truth. Pius XI condemned such cultural relativism in Mortalium Animos: “The Church cannot participate in false ecuмenical conventions which presuppose the equality of all religions.” This appointment advances the conciliar goal of creating national churches subordinate to globalist agendas.
As St. Robert Bellarmine taught: “A manifest heretic cannot be pope” (De Romano Pontifice II.30). Since the Vatican II sect promulgates heresy through false appointments, Catholics must reject this pseudo-hierarchy entirely. The true Church endures invisibly through those preserving the integral Faith and valid sacraments outside the conciliar structures.
