Kolkata’s Burial Initiative Masks Apostasy and Religious Indifferentism
Portals controlled by the conciliar sect report on the “Shamman Samadhi” initiative in Kolkata, India, which claims to provide “dignified burials” for all economic classes through interdenominational cooperation. The project—involving the Missionaries of Charity and Kolkata’s civic authorities—reserves cemetery space for the indigent and “abandoned,” framed as an act of “compassion and inclusion.”
Interdenominational Collaboration as Religious Indifferentism
The article celebrates the unification of “various Christian denominations” under this initiative, a direct violation of Catholic exclusivity condemned by Pope Pius IX: “It is false that the liberty of every cult is advantageous” (Syllabus of Errors, §79). True Catholic charity cannot coexist with heresy, as extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (outside the Church there is no salvation) remains immutable. The participation of schismatic and Protestant groups transforms a work of mercy into an ecumenical ritual, implicitly denying the necessity of the Catholic Church for eternal salvation.
Naturalistic Reduction of Christian Burial
While the initiative emphasizes “dignified, peaceful, and respectful” burials, it omits all supernatural elements essential to Catholic practice. No mention is made of the Requiem Mass, prayers for the dead, or the necessity of sacraments for the salvation of souls—a silence revealing the project’s naturalistic foundation. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas primas declares Christ’s kingship over all aspects of life and death, yet this initiative reduces burial to a civic duty rather than an act of faith in the Resurrection. The graves’ division into “adults” and “children under three” further exposes a materialistic worldview, ignoring the Church’s teaching on the eternal destiny of unbaptized infants.
Missionaries of Charity: Agents of Modernist Subversion
The involvement of the Missionaries of Charity—founded by the controversial Mother Teresa—intensifies the initiative’s theological danger. Her canonization by the conciliar sect is illegitimate, as antipopes lack jurisdiction to elevate souls to the altar. Moreover, her order’s collaboration with Hindus, Muslims, and atheists—documented in her diaries—betrays a syncretism condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici gregis. By framing burial as mere “compassion” divorced from conversion, the Missionaries perpetuate the “cult of man” that replaces supernatural charity with humanitarian sentiment.
State-Church Collusion Against Divine Law
Kolkata’s government funding of the cemetery constitutes an unlawful subordination of sacred matters to secular authority. Pope Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors explicitly condemns the notion that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (§55). True Catholic burial grounds are consecrated spaces governed by canon law, not civic “development funds.” The request for additional land from the state—rather than reclamation of confiscated Church property—confirms the conciliar sect’s surrender to secularism.
Omission of the Church’s Primary Mission
Nowhere does the article mention the necessity of dying in a state of grace or the Church’s duty to pray for the dead. This omission reflects the conciliar sect’s abandonment of its supernatural mission. As Pope Benedict XV taught in Pascendi Gregis, “The Church has no greater duty than to care for the salvation of souls.” By reducing burial to a social service, the initiative denies the Four Last Things—Death, Judgment, Heaven, Hell—and promotes the modernist heresy that earthly dignity supersedes eternal destiny.
