The Vatican’s Naturalist Peace Agenda: Erasing Christ the King in Favor of Humanist Delusions
VaticanNews, a propaganda arm of the conciliar sect, published on December 31, 2025, an interview with Neil Thorns of CAFOD praising Bergoglio’s successor “Leo XIV” for his World Day of Peace message. The article champions an “unarmed and disarming peace” while denouncing military spending and demanding increased humanitarian aid—all framed through the lens of a distorted “real realism” that rejects Catholic supernaturalism in favor of secular conflict resolution. This messaging epitomizes the neo-church’s apostasy from the Social Reign of Christ the King.
Naturalism as the Foundation of Conciliar “Peace”
The article reduces peacemaking to a purely horizontal endeavor, stating that true “realism” requires “believing that caring for our brothers and sisters around the world—and seeing the good in them—is possible.” This Pelagian optimism ignores the Fallen nature of man and Original Sin, replacing the necessity of grace with sentimental humanism. Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925) demolishes this error: “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”. By omitting the Kingship of Christ, the conciliar sect reduces peace to a sociological project—a direct contradiction of Pope Pius IX’s condemnation of the error that “human reason, without any reference whatsoever to God, is the sole arbiter of truth and falsehood, and of good and evil” (Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 3).
False Dichotomy: Weapons vs. “Dialogue”
Thorns condemns military spending as ineffective while advocating for diplomacy and aid. Yet this smuggles in the modernist heresy that conflicts arise from material inequality rather than spiritual rebellion against God. The article laments cuts to aid budgets that “fuel poverty, instability, and ultimately conflict”, implying economic redistribution can substitute for conversion. This echoes the Marxist falsehood condemned by Pius XI in Divini Redemptoris: “All men are equal… there is neither rich nor poor… no such thing as the authority of God over men”. The true Catholic position recognizes the right of nations to self-defense (St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica II-II Q.40) while insisting that lasting peace flows from obedience to Divine Law—not UN brokered ceasefires.
The Omission That Condemns: No Mention of Christ’s Sovereignty
Nowhere does the article acknowledge that peace is impossible without the Social Reign of Christ the King. Pius XI’s Quas Primas anathematizes this silence: “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”. The conciliar sect’s “peace” is a demonic counterfeit—a worldly appeasement that abandons the command to “make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). Thorns even misquotes Paul VI’s vacuous slogan “If you want peace, work for justice” while omitting that true justice requires submitting all nations to the authority of Christ and His Church.
False Charity: CAFOD’s Subversion of Catholic Action
The article celebrates CAFOD—a UK-based agency notorious for funding population control initiatives—as a peacebuilder. This exposes the conciliar sect’s corruption of charity. True Catholic charity, as defined by Pius X in Il Fermo Proposito, seeks first the salvation of souls: “The final cause of the Church is to save souls and secure their happiness… all Her laws, all Her prayers, all Her Sacraments have this one end in view”. CAFOD’s secular humanitarianism, divorced from evangelization and the Sacraments, is spiritually barren—a fulfillment of St. Pius X’s warning against “those who neglect the supernatural and disdain the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass” (Pascendi Dominici Gregis, 39).
Conclusion: A Peace That Leads to Perdition
Bergoglio’s successor offers not peace, but surrender to globalist tyranny. By erasing the Kingship of Christ, promoting materialist solutions, and canonizing secular NGOs, the conciliar sect fulfills Pius X’s description of Modernism as “the synthesis of all heresies” (Pascendi, 39). True Catholics reject this false peace, clinging to the immutable doctrine: “There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Until nations kneel before Christ the King, war will endure—for “a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand” (Mark 3:24).
