Conciliar Sect’s Cardinals Peddle Naturalist Heresy in Foreign Policy Statement
Vatican News portal (January 19, 2026) reports on a joint statement by “Cardinals” Blase Cupich, Robert McElroy, and Joseph Tobin advocating for US foreign policy based on “peace, human dignity and religious liberty,” explicitly citing antipope Leo XIV’s January 9 address. The text exemplifies how the conciliar sect systematically replaces Catholic social doctrine with Masonic-inspired naturalism.
Subversion of Catholic Principles Through Omission
The statement’s repeated invocation of “human dignity” and “religious liberty” constitutes doctrinal sabotage through strategic omission. Nowhere do the “cardinals” mention:
the Social Kingship of Jesus Christ (Pius XI, Quas Primas), the necessity of Catholic confessional states (Pius IX, Quanta cura), or the Church’s divine mandate to govern nations in matters pertaining to salvation.
Their silence on Regnum Christi exposes adherence to Vatican II’s Declaration on Religious Freedom (Dignitatis humanae), condemned by Pope Saint Pius X as “the synthesis of all heresies” (Encyclical Pascendi dominici gregis, 1907). By treating false religions as possessing inherent rights, these conciliar officials commit the heresy of indifferentism explicitly anathematized:
“It is illicit to worship according to the rite of non-Catholics or to aid in their sacred rites” (Pope Benedict XIV, Ex quo primum, 1756).
War Against Catholic Definitions of Peace
When the statement declares “we renounce war as an instrument for narrow national interests,” it perverts the Church’s just war doctrine (St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica II-II Q40) into pacifist sentimentalism. Contrast this with Pope Pius XII’s teaching:
“A war of aggression is a sin, a crime, and an outrage… but the necessity of self-defense may make unavoidable a war which would have to be stopped in the interests of peace as soon as the legitimate defense of the rights of nations is assured” (Radio Message, August 24, 1939).
The “cardinals'” appeal to antipope Leo’s condemnation of nations violating borders ignores Catholic teaching that unjust regimes forfeit sovereignty. As Pope Leo XIII taught:
“Rulers have no authority except as coming from God… those who are invested with power to rule may be deposed by the same public authority if they rule unjustly” (Encyclical Diuturnum illud, 1881).
Religious Liberty as Apostasy
Their demand for “religious liberty” constitutes formal heresy against:
“The State must recognize the Catholic religion as the only true religion” (Pope Pius IX, Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 77).
The conciliar sect’s “religious liberty” dogma directly contradicts Pope Gregory XVI’s condemnation:
“This shameful font of indifferentism gives rise to that absurd and erroneous proposition which claims that liberty of conscience must be maintained for everyone” (Encyclical Mirari vos, 1832).
Humanitarian Aid as Substitute for Conversion
By reducing “human dignity” to material assistance while omitting the necessity of baptism and submission to the Church, these conciliar officials deny the Faith’s supernatural finality. Pope Boniface VIII’s dogma remains binding:
“Outside the Church there is neither salvation nor remission of sins… it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff” (Bull Unam sanctam, 1302).
The statement’s call for “economic assistance” as primary solution follows the modernist heresy of immanentism condemned in Pascendi §7: “making civilization and progress converge with the Gospel.” True charity demands conversion before bread, as Christ commanded: “Seek first the kingdom of God” (Matthew 6:33).
Symptomatic of Conciliar Apostasy
This document manifests the conciliar sect’s complete rupture with Catholic tradition:
- Signatories: Cupich (heretic denying mortal sin), McElroy (advocate for communion for adulterers), Tobin (promoter of LGBT agenda)
- Source: Antipope Leo XIV, whose “state of the world” address omitted Christ’s name 37 times
- Method: Equates Gospel peace with UN-style conflict resolution (John 14:27 ≠ geopolitical pacifism)
As Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre warned before his own apostasy: “The conciliar Church is a schismatic Church because it breaks with the Catholic Church of all time” (Conference, Écône, 1976). These “cardinals” prove his later complicity with the revolution.
True Catholics recognize:
“There is no true peace except in the kingdom of Christ… Let them return to teaching the people that the Church is a perfect society, entirely free, possessing her own proper and perpetual rights conferred upon her by her Divine Founder” (Pius XI, Quas Primas §18, 24).
