The Catholic News Agency portal (December 23, 2025) reports on an international human trafficking conference organized by the Sovereign Order of Malta, Praeveni Global, Santa Marta Group, and the Pontifical Gregorian University’s Institute of Anthropology. The event featured testimonies from trafficking survivors like Karla De la Cuesta alongside presentations by UN rapporteur Reem Alsalem and conciliar sect figures including “Cardinal” Fabio Baggio and “Fr.” Hans Zollner. While decrying the 50 million trafficking victims worldwide, the conference proposed purely naturalistic solutions, epitomizing the conciliar sect’s abandonment of Regnum Christi (the Reign of Christ) as the sole remedy for societal ills.
Naturalism Masquerading as Charity
The conference’s exclusive focus on “strengthening collaboration” with UN agencies and secular justice systems constitutes a blatant rejection of Pius XI’s teaching that “the empire of our Redeemer embraces all men…Nor is there any difference in this matter between the individual and the family or the State; for all men, whether collectively or individually, are under the dominion of Christ” (Quas Primas, 18). Nowhere do the organizers acknowledge that human trafficking flourishes precisely because nations have rejected Christ’s social kingship – the very apostasy condemned in the Syllabus of Errors which declared anathema the proposition that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Pius IX, Proposition 55).
“We can indeed make flowers grow from these wounds,”
declares survivor Karla De la Cuesta – a tragically naturalistic metaphor that ignores the supernatural truth that only through the Precious Blood of Christ can such wounds be healed. The article’s celebration of her resilience absent any mention of sacramental grace or redemptive suffering exemplifies the neo-church’s Pelagian tendencies.
Pornography Discussion Omits Moral Framework
When UN rapporteur Alsalem condemns pornography as “a system of online prostitution,” she inadvertently highlights the conciliar sect’s failure to uphold traditional sexual morality. The 1917 Code of Canon Law prohibited all pornography under pain of excommunication (Canon 1399), whereas the post-conciliar sect hesitates to condemn even intrinsic evils. The analysis ignores Pius XII’s teaching in Sacra Virginitas that impurity constitutes “a sin more heinous than theft or murder” – without which understanding, anti-trafficking efforts become mere social work.
Zollner’s Theological Subversion
The inclusion of “Fr.” Hans Zollner – a notorious modernizer in abuse prevention circles – demonstrates the conference’s ideological capture. His statement that “child protection…is written into the Gospel” constitutes theological reductionism, substituting social activism for the Gospel’s primary focus on salvation from sin. When he claims “the Church has made a lot of progress in the last 12 years,” he ignores how the conciliar sect’s abandonment of Thomistic anthropology (replaced by his Institute’s “anthropological” approach) created the crisis of clerical abuse.
True Catholic response would cite Pius XI’s Divini Illius Magistri: “Every Christian must be ready to say with St. Paul: ‘If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ'” (Gal 1:10). Instead, Zollner offers empty platitudes about “hope…in the perspective of our future in heaven,” divorcing eschatology from the Church Militant’s duty to combat evil through supernatural means.
Structural Apostasy Revealed
The Pontifical Gregorian University’s hosting of this event – featuring UN officials alongside conciliar sect bureaucrats – fulfills Pius X’s warning in Lamentabili Sane against those who would reduce the Church to “a certain interpretation of religious facts which the human mind has worked out with great effort” (Proposition 22). Nowhere do participants mention:
1. The necessity of restoring the Social Reign of Christ the King
2. The role of Marian consecration in combating demonic influences behind trafficking
3. The propitiatory power of the Traditional Mass to atone for these sins
As the Syllabus condemned those who claim “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Proposition 80), this conference stands as testament to the conciliar sect’s total assimilation into the world’s humanist paradigm. Until the Social Kingship of Christ is publicly recognized and nations consecrated to the Immaculate Heart, such gatherings constitute empty theater – spiritual window-dressing on a civilization collapsing from rejection of divine order.
