Vatican Diplomacy’s Betrayal of Christ the King
The VaticanNews portal (17 January 2026) promotes the “diplomatic mission” of the conciliar sect under antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), featuring Archbishop Salvatore Pennacchio’s claims about building “bridges of peace” through the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy. This propaganda piece exemplifies the neo-church’s complete abandonment of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (no salvation outside the Church) in favor of naturalistic humanism.
Naturalism Disguised as “Peacebuilding”
The article claims Vatican diplomacy engages in “building bridges of peace and justice” and promoting “a civilization founded on love and respect for the dignity of every person.” This empty rhetoric directly contradicts Pius XI’s condemnation of those who “remove Jesus Christ and His most holy law from… public life” (Quas Primas, 1925). Nowhere does Pennacchio mention:
The duty of nations to submit to Christ the King as required by Quas Primas: “Rulers of states therefore not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ… to maintain their authority inviolate.”
The term “civilization of love” – coined by antipope Paul VI – intentionally avoids proclaiming the Social Reign of Christ the King, reducing the Church’s mission to social work. As Pius IX condemned in the Syllabus of Errors (1864):
Error 55: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church.” (Condemned)
Heretical Ecclesiology in Diplomatic Training
The article boasts about reforms to the “Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy“, now teaching “diplomatic sciences” aligned with “international standards.” This confirms the modernist shift from forming priests to creating bureaucratic functionaries. The 1907 decree Lamentabili explicitly condemns such naturalism:
“The Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics because it steadfastly adheres to its views, which cannot be reconciled with modern progress.” (Error 63)
When Pennacchio states diplomats must have “human depth, institutional sensitivity, and solid professional competence,” he omits the primary requirement articulated in Quas Primas: that civil rulers must “publicly honor and obey the reigning Christ.” The academy’s new focus on “diplomatic practice and style” replaces the scientia sacra (sacred science) that once formed true nuncios.
Silence on the Supernatural Mission
Throughout the interview, glaring omissions reveal the conciliar sect’s apostasy:
- No mention of converting nations to the One True Faith, despite Christ’s command: “Teach all nations” (Matthew 28:19)
- No reference to the Four Last Things (Death, Judgment, Heaven, Hell), reducing salvation history to conflict resolution
- Absence of Mary Mediatrix, replaced by empty appeals to “closeness” and “mercy” detached from sanctifying grace
Pius XII’s warning in Mystici Corporis (1943) applies perfectly: “For not every offense, although it may be a grave evil… is such as of its own nature to sever a man from the Body of the Church.” Yet this article’s total silence on the necessity of membership in the True Church for salvation constitutes material heresy.
Counterfeit “Hope” in Place of Divine Law
The article concludes with blasphemous misuse of Saint Paul VI’s words about “seeds of hope” in “hidden and unknown” service. True Catholic hope rests on God’s promises, not diplomatic maneuvering. As the Syllabus condemns:
Error 15: “Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true.” (Condemned)
This neo-diplomacy operates on precisely this condemned principle, treating false religions as equal partners in “peacebuilding” rather than souls to be rescued from error. Pennacchio’s diplomats embody the “false irenicism” condemned by Pius XII in Humani Generis (1950), where truth is sacrificed for temporary truces.
The VaticanNews piece ultimately demonstrates how the conciliar sect has completed its transformation into a NGO – a hollow administrative structure promoting Masonic ideals of universal brotherhood without divine sonship through Christ. As true shepherds vanish, we recall Pius XI’s warning: “When God and Jesus Christ are removed from laws and states… the entire human society must be shaken” (Quas Primas). Only restoration of the Social Kingship of Christ can remedy this diabolical disorientation.
