Ecclesiastical Usurpation: Neo-Church’s Illegitimate Jurisdictional Claims
The Catholic News Agency (CNA) portal reports on January 10, 2026, about the conciliar sect’s creation of dioceses and archdioceses. It describes antipope Leo XIV’s 2025 establishment of a diocese in northern China and Francis’ 2023 elevation of Las Vegas to an archdiocese. Monsignor William King claims these acts follow “considerable study and consultation,” tracing diocesan structures to early Church models. The article presents the neo-church’s administrative maneuvers as legitimate exercises of papal authority.
Usurpation of Christ’s Royal Authority Over His Church
The article’s fundamental error lies in recognizing the antipope’s pretended right to establish dioceses. As Quas Primas (Pius XI, 1925) declares: “He gave him power, and honor, and a kingdom: and all peoples, tribes, and tongues shall serve him” (Dan 7:14). Christ alone holds plenitude of jurisdiction over His Church, exercised through Peter’s legitimate successors – a line extinguished since the death of Pius XII. The conciliar sect’s “dioceses” constitute not ecclesiastical divisions but revolutionary cells advancing the anti-church’s naturalistic agenda.
“The right to erect (or suppress) a diocese ‘belongs exclusively to the successor of Peter, the bishop of Rome,’ that is, the pope.”
This statement commits multiple heresies against Lamentabili (1907) and the Syllabus of Errors (Pius IX, 1864). The Vatican II antipopes lack both holy orders and jurisdiction, rendering their acts utterly null. Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code states: “Every office becomes vacant by the mere fact… if the cleric publicly defects from the Catholic faith.” Since John XXIII’s manifest heresies, all subsequent “pontiffs” automatically lost office through ipso facto defection (Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice).
Naturalistic Reduction of Church to Administrative Corporation
King’s assertion that diocesan structures developed from Roman governmental models betrays the modernist heresy condemned in Lamentabili (Proposition 58): “Truth changes with man, because it develops with him.” The article reduces the Church to a bureaucratic entity “resembling a government,” ignoring its divine constitution as the Mystical Body of Christ.
The true Church administers territories based on supernatural criteria: preservation of faith, sanctification of souls, and opposition to error. By contrast, the conciliar sect establishes “dioceses” according to demographic trends and geopolitical calculations – evidenced by its collaboration with China’s communist persecutors. This constitutes apostasy from Quas Primas’ mandate: “Nations will be reminded by the annual celebration of this feast that not only private individuals but also rulers and princes are bound to give public honor and obedience to Christ.”
Omission of China’s Underground Church Martyrs
The article whitewashes the conciliar sect’s betrayal of Chinese Catholics by stating:
“Pope Leo XIV created a new Catholic diocese in northern China… a product of ongoing tensions between China and the Holy See.”
This deliberately obscures how the Vatican II sect collaborates with Beijing to suppress the true underground Church faithful to Tradition. The 2025 “diocese” constitutes canonical recognition of the Chinese Communist Party’s puppet “Patriotic Church” – a schismatic entity repeatedly condemned by Pius XII.
False Appeal to Antiquated Models
King’s reference to early Church diocesan development constitutes historical revisionism. The apostolic sees derived authority not from imperial cities but from apostolic succession. The article’s claim that archdioceses developed around “culture, education, commerce” centers inverts true ecclesiology: Major sees like Lyons and Carthage gained prominence through doctrinal orthodoxy and martyr blood, not worldly influence.
The conciliar sect’s elevation of Las Vegas – global capital of vice – to archdiocese status reveals its satanic inversion of values. Whereas true popes established sees to combat error (e.g., Pius V’s erection of Guadalajara diocese against Aztec paganism), the neo-church establishes them to promote “dialogue” with modernity.
Conclusion: Structural Apostasy Manifested
CNA’ article demonstrates the conciliar sect’s complete rupture from Catholic ecclesiology. Its “dioceses” lack valid bishops, priests, and sacraments, constituting what Pius X termed in Pascendi “the synthesis of all heresies.” Traditional Catholics must utterly reject these illegitimate structures and adhere exclusively to communities preserving the una sancta through unbroken apostolic succession and unchanging doctrine. As Leo XIII decreed in Satis Cognitum: “The Church is the House of the living God, pillar and ground of the truth (1 Tim 3:15) – not a political federation subject to demographic whims.”
