The VaticanNews portal (December 23, 2025) reports on UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk’s warnings about violence surrounding Myanmar’s military-organized elections. The article describes how both the junta and armed opposition groups threaten civilians, with over 7,000 killed since the 2021 coup and 3.6 million displaced. It notes the UN’s condemnation of arrests under “election protection laws” and humanitarian crises like malnutrition affecting 400,000 children. The piece frames this as a political conflict between the military regime and “anti-regime militants,” ignoring the regnum sociale Christi (social kingship of Christ) as the only solution to societal collapse.
Naturalism Replaces Divine Justice in UN’s Response
The UN’s exclusive focus on temporal “human rights” constitutes what Pius IX condemned as the error indifferentismi (error of indifferentism) in the Syllabus of Errors (1864). By declaring “These elections are clearly taking place in an environment of violence and repression” without referencing the supernatural order, Türk reduces justice to mere procedural concerns. The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 1351) demands Catholic rulers suppress heresy and promote the true faith, yet the UN implicitly treats Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity as equal before the law – precisely the religious relativism condemned in Quas Primas (1925): “Kings and princes…are bound to give public honor and obedience to Christ.” The article’s silence on Myanmar’s systematic persecution of Christians (9% of population) reveals the UN’s anti-Catholic bias.
Military Junta Embodies Pagan Tyranny Condemned by Leo XIII
Pius XI’s encyclical establishes that no authority exists except from God (Quas Primas §18), yet the junta violates every principle of Christ-centered governance:
“Displaced people…have been told they would be bombed or their homes seized if they do not go to the polls.”
This terror tactic directly opposes St. Paul’s teaching that rulers must be “not a terror to good conduct, but to bad” (Romans 13:3). The military’s arrests for “hanging posters critical of elections” expose their rejection of the Church’s teaching on just authority (Leo XIII, Libertas §42). By dissolving Aung San Suu Kyi’s party despite her Nobel Prize, the regime confirms Pius IX’s warning that modernist governments “place the Catholic religion on the same level as false cults” (Syllabus §77).
Humanitarian Crisis as Divine Chastisement for National Apostasy
Myanmar’s suffering – “12 million facing hunger” and “catastrophic monsoon inundations” – manifests God’s justice against a nation where only 1.5% practice Catholicism authentically. The article’s secular framing ignores St. Augustine’s teaching in The City of God that temporal calamities flow from societal rejection of Christ’s reign. Nowhere does the UN report mention:
- Myanmar’s constitutional requirement that presidents be Buddhists (Article 59f)
- The military’s destruction of over 200 Christian churches since 2021
- Forced Buddhist “re-education” of Rohingya Muslims
This omission proves the UN operates under the masonic principle “no rights but what the State grants” condemned in Humanum Genus (Leo XIII, 1884).
Conciliar Sect’s Complicity Through Silence
The VaticanNews portal’s failure to demand Myanmar’s conversion to Catholicism continues Paul VI’s betrayal at the UN (1965): “We…refrain from proposing any particular form of government.” Contrast this with Pius XI’s mandate: “Rulers of nations…must obey Christ” (Quas Primas §32). Francis/Bergoglio’s “dialogue” approach has yielded 50% more martyrs in Myanmar since 2021 (Aid to Church in Need data). The article’s call for “freedom of expression, association or peaceful assembly” parrots Vatican II’s Dignitatis Humanae – condemned by Archbishop Lefebvre as “theological liberalism poisoning the Church.”
Myanmar’s agony will intensify until her leaders kneel before the Eucharistic King. As St. Pius X warned: “All the strength of Satan’s reign is due to the weak faith of priests and faithful” (Pascendi §39). Only the restoration of Christ’s social reign through Catholic counter-revolution can end this Passion of nations.
