Vatican News Promotes Apostate Geopolitical Activism Over Supernatural Mission
Vatican News portal (January 22, 2026) reports on the annual pilgrimage of the “Holy Land Co-ordination” (HLC), a group of “bishops” from Europe, North America, and South Africa, who issued a statement urging “solidarity” with Palestinians and Israelis while demanding “genuine dialogue” and Israeli compliance with “international law.” The communiqué reduces the Church’s divine mandate to secular conflict mediation, omitting any reference to Christ’s Kingship or the necessity of conversion for salvation.
Reduction of the Church’s Mission to Naturalistic Humanism
The HLC’s statement declares:
“The people of the Holy Land cry out for our help and prayers; they long for an end to their suffering.”
This humanitarian framing deliberately suppresses the Church’s raison d’être (reason for existence): the salvation of souls through submission to Christ the King. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) anathematizes this naturalism:
“When God and Jesus Christ were removed from laws and states… the entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation.”
By prioritizing “trauma,” “demoralization,” and “fear” over the state of grace and eternal damnation, the HLC operates as a geopolitical NGO rather than shepherds of souls.
Blasphemous Equivalence Between Divine Law and Secular “Rights”
The communiqué insists:
“The universality of human rights should apply to all.”
This echoes the condemned error of Pius IX’s Syllabus (1864):
“Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true” (Error #15).
Worse, the HLC demands Israel uphold a “rules-based international order” while remaining silent about Islamic persecution of Christians and Judaism’s rejection of the Messias. Such moral equivalence violates the Church’s perennial teaching that extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (outside the Church there is no salvation).
Omission of Settler Violence Against Christians
While decrying “Israeli settler attacks,” the HLC conceals that Palestinian Muslims systematically persecute Christians. In Bethlehem, once 80% Christian, Muslims now comprise 92% of the population due to Islamic intimidation tactics documented by local priests. This deliberate omission exposes the HLC’s ideological bias, reducing the Church to a pawn in the Arab-Israeli conflict rather than mater et magistra (mother and teacher) of truths.
Sacrilegious Invocation of Pilgrimage
The HLC cites “Cardinal” Pierbattista Pizzaballa’s call for pilgrimages as “a sign of our love, support, and solidarity.” True Catholic pilgrimage seeks penance and spiritual renewal, not political theater. The 1907 decree Lamentabili Sane condemns such distortions:
“Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Error #20).
By transforming pilgrimage into solidarity activism, the HLC profanes a sacred practice.
Silence About the True Solution: Social Reign of Christ the King
The communiqué begs governments to “revive meaningful negotiations toward a two-state solution,” ignoring Pius XI’s definitive teaching:
“When all men, individuals, families, and states allowed themselves to be governed by Christ… unheard-of blessings would flow upon the whole society” (Quas Primas).
This silence proves the conciliar sect’s apostasy. True peace requires nations to submit to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary’s Immaculate Heart—not UN resolutions or “dialogue.”
Conclusion: Apostate Shepherds Feeding Flock to Wolves
The HLC’s pilgrimage exemplifies the conciliar sect’s abandonment of its divine mission. These modernist “bishops” function as agents of the New World Order, promoting a counterfeit gospel of human dignity detached from the Cross. As St. Pius X warned in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907), such naturalism “leads to the most grievous errors.” Until Rome’s usurpers repent and restore the Social Reign of Christ the King, their “solidarity” remains Satanic mockery of the Lamb slain for sinners.
