Conciliar Prelate’s SEEK 2026 Comments Reveal Post-Vatican II Apostasy
Catholic News Agency reports on January 2, 2026, that “bp Michael Olson” of Fort Worth used the SEEK conference to propagate conciliarist errors under the guise of pastoral concern. The pseudo-bishop’s statements about “unity,” immigration, and parish security constitute a masterclass in the neo-modernist subversion of Catholic truth.
“Unity” as Betrayal of Dogmatic Certainty
Olson’s claim that his prayer focuses on Christ’s words “that all may be one” (John 17:21) deliberately ignores the unam sanctam catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam (one holy catholic and apostolic Church) defined by the Council of Constantinople (381). The post-conciliar sect substitutes doctrinal unity with emotional communion, exemplified by Olson’s lament over divisions
“especially in the sacraments and the liturgy”
– an implicit attack on Catholics rejecting the invalid Novus Ordo rite.
Pius XI condemned such false irenicism in Mortalium Animos (1928):
“The union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it.”
Olson’s appeal for unity without doctrinal submission constitutes the indifferentism condemned in Proposition 16 of the Syllabus of Errors (Pius IX, 1864).
Naturalization of the Supernatural
The report claims young attendees exhibit
“a real openness to God’s call”
and desire to
“make a difference for Christ.”
This reduction of vocation to social activism stems from the conciliar heresy expressed in Gaudium et Spes (1965), which substituted contemplatio Christi (contemplation of Christ) with worldly engagement.
The pseudo-bishop’s omission of grace, sacramental life, and personal sanctification reveals the post-conciliar sect’s Pelagian tendencies. Contrast this with Pius X’s Haerent Animo (1908):
“The priest must first sanctify himself to sanctify others… by employing those means of sanctification which God has placed in his hands.”
Immigration: Social Gospel Over Catholic Social Order
Olson’s immigration comments exemplify the conciliar sect’s betrayal of Catholic statecraft:
- His call to stop
“defining ourselves by partisan ideologies”
constitutes moral cowardice before liberalism’s errors
- The reduction of immigration to “human dignity” ignores Christ’s command to “teach all nations” (Matthew 28:19), substituting evangelization with NGO-style humanitarianism
- His foreign policy analysis omits the Church’s teaching on Regnum Christi (Reign of Christ) over nations as proclaimed in Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925)
This aligns with the condemned Proposition 39 of the Syllabus:
“The State, as being the origin and source of all rights, is endowed with a certain right not circumscribed by any limits.”
Sacrilegious Security Measures
The “Guardian ministry” employing
“fully vetted, trained, and armed parishioners”
constitutes an abomination, replacing custodes ecclesiae (church guardians) with Protestant-style security details. True Catholic churches rely on:
- Divine protection through Eucharistic adoration
- Canonical penalties against profaners (1917 CIC 2320)
- Civil authorities properly ordered to Christ the King
Omissions as Doctrinal Crimes
The article’s most damning elements are its silences:
- No mention of the Traditional Latin Mass – the only valid Roman rite
- No warning against invalid sacraments in conciliar parishes
- No call to restore Christ’s social reign as mandated by Pius XI
This confirms the conciliar sect’s nature as the abominatio desolationis (abomination of desolation) foretold in Daniel 9:27. As St. Pius X warned in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907):
“The Modernist sustains and embraces all heresies.”
