Naturalizing the Nativity: Conciliar Sect’s Christmas Betrayal
The Catholic News Agency portal (December 25, 2025) reports on the Christmas Eve homily delivered by “Cardinal” Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin “Patriarch of Jerusalem,” in Bethlehem. The article highlights his assertion that “God does not wait for history to improve before entering into it,” framing the Nativity as divine participation in flawed human history rather than its transformation. The “cardinal” claims God uses political powers like Augustus’ decree to fulfill His plan, describing Christmas as a “school of responsibility” that rejects escapism. He reduces Christ’s peace to “humble gestures” and “daily decisions,” ignoring the Kingship of Christ while lamenting regional conflicts. This modernist distortion exemplifies the conciliar sect’s systematic evacuation of supernatural grace from salvation history.
Theological Subversion of the Incarnation
The “cardinal’s” assertion that “God does not create a parallel history” constitutes a direct assault on the Church’s perennial teaching that Verbum caro factum est (the Word became flesh) precisely to redeem rather than merely inhabit fallen history. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) dogmatically affirms that Christ came “to restore all things in Himself” (Ephesians 1:10), establishing His Kingship over both individuals and nations. By claiming God enters history without transforming it, the conciliar hierarchy betrays the raison d’être of the Incarnation – to make all things new (Revelation 21:5), not to sanctify the status quo.
Pizzaballa’s reduction of the Nativity to a divine endorsement of human political processes echoes the Modernist heresy condemned in Pius X’s Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907): “They affirm that the Church was born… from a necessity of the collective conscience” (§6). His statement that “no situation is too dark for God to dwell in it” deliberately omits the essential condition – God dwells in darkness only through the light of conversion to His Kingship. The Syllabus of Errors (1864) explicitly condemns the notion that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Proposition 55), yet this “homily” implicitly endorses secular hegemony by failing to demand Christ’s social reign.
Naturalized Grace and the Abdication of Authority
When the “cardinal” declares Christmas “a school of responsibility” rather than a divine intervention, he inverts the ordo salutis. The Council of Trent’s Decree on Justification (1547) teaches that man cannot prepare himself for grace without God’s prevenient action: “Whence the Apostle says… ‘Not that we are sufficient to think anything as of ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God'” (2 Corinthians 3:5). By emphasizing human “hands ready to protect” peace over divine sovereignty, Pizzaballa commits the Pelagian error condemned in Pius XII’s Humani Generis (1950) – exalting human initiative above grace.
The article’s reference to “deep wounds” in the Holy Land deliberately avoids naming the conciliar sect’s complicity through Vatican II’s religious indifferentism. Pius XI’s Mortalium Animos (1928) warned that “the Apostolic See has never allowed its subjects to take part in the assemblies of non-Catholics” (§8), yet the conciliar “patriarchs” routinely engage in interfaith syncretism that fuels regional conflicts. Their silence on the duty of Muslim and Jewish conversion as the only path to true peace constitutes apostasy from Christ’s Great Commission (Matthew 28:19).
Erasure of the Kingship of Christ
Most grievously, Pizzaballa’s homily entirely omits the Regnum Christi while perverting the Angelic hymn’s “peace on earth” into a naturalistic process. The Latin Patriarch’s predecessors understood that Pax Christi in Regno Christi – peace flows exclusively from submission to Christ’s social reign. As Pius XI declared in Quas Primas: “When once men recognize… that Christ is King… society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony.” By contrast, the “cardinal’s” peace of “daily decisions” reduces the Pax Augustana (worldly peace) to equivalence with the Pax Christi, committing the very error Paul VI embraced at the UN (1965) – replacing Christ the King with secular humanism.
Conclusion: A Sectarian Nativity
This Christmas homily exemplifies the conciliar sect’s fundamental heresy – the transformation of Christianity from a religion of supernatural redemption into a gnostic-humanist self-help program. When Pizzaballa claims “the light of Bethlehem does not blind,” he denies Isaiah’s prophecy that Christ would be “a light to the Gentiles… to open the blind eyes” (Isaiah 42:6-7). The true Church still teaches with Pius IX’s Syllabus: “All the faithful must profess that the civil power has not the right to… impede the free communication of the Sovereign Pontiff with the Church” (Proposition 49). Until the pseudo-clergy cease their blasphemous pantomime and return to Catholic integralism, their Christmases remain satanic inversions – celebrating a King whose Crown they’ve stolen, whose Scepter they’ve broken, and whose Subjects they’ve abandoned to darkness.
