Kumba’s “Catholic” University: Modernist Subversion Under Guise of Education
Vatican News (January 28, 2026) reports the Cameroonian Ministry of Higher Education authorized the Diocese of Kumba to establish “Sapientia Higher Institute” (SAHIK), offering secular programs like Tourism Management and Computer Engineering under the pretext of Catholic education. Bishop Agapitus Enuyehnyoh Nfon claims this fulfills the Church’s duty to provide education “in line with the teachings of the Second Vatican Council,” while welcoming students of all religions.
Vatican II as Theological Poison
The institute’s foundational error lies in its appeal to the “teachings of the Second Vatican Council” – a robber council that promulgated the heresy of religious liberty (Dignitatis Humanae). Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864) condemned the notion that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself and come to terms with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” (Error #80). By framing SAHIK through Vatican II’s Gravissimum Educationis, the diocese embraces the conciliar revolution that subverted Catholic education’s primary purpose: forming souls for eternal salvation under Christ the King.
Naturalism Disguised as Formation
SAHIK’s curriculum exposes its apostasy: Agricultural Sciences and Hotel Management replace Thomistic philosophy and dogmatic theology. Pius XI’s encyclical Divini Illius Magistri (1929) mandates: “Education consists essentially in preparing man for what he must be and for what he must do here below, in order to attain the sublime end for which he was created.” When “Bishop” Nfon speaks of education serving “the good of society” without defining that society’s submission to Christ’s Social Reign, he reduces the Church to a NGO. Saint Pius X condemned such naturalism in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907): “[Modernists] make conscience and revelation synonymous with experience… reducing faith to mere sentiment.”
Fraudulent Use of Catholic Terminology
The institute’s name – invoking Sapientia (Wisdom) and Mary as Sedes Sapientiae – constitutes theological theft. True Catholic wisdom, per Aquinas, “is knowledge of divine things” (Summa II-II Q45 A1). When SAHIK offers “wisdom” through secular vocational training, it commits the error condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane: “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20). This sacrilegious equivocation mirrors the conciliar sect’s corruption of the Mass into a communal meal while retaining Eucharistic vocabulary.
Syncretism Masquerading as Inclusivity
Nfon’s declaration that SAHIK welcomes “all young people regardless of religious denominations” confirms the university’s apostate character. The Council of Florence (1441) infallibly taught: “[The Holy Roman Church] firmly believes, professes, and proclaims that those not living within the Catholic Church… cannot become participants in eternal life.” By creating an interreligious “citadel of wisdom,” the diocese violates Pius IX’s condemnation of indifferentism: “Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation” (Syllabus, Error #15). True Catholic universities like Louvain under Cardinal Mercier formed intellectual militas for Christ the King – not vocational schools for pluralistic humanism.
Conclusion: Education as Weapon of Apostasy
SAHIK epitomizes the conciliar sect’s educational betrayal. As Pius XI warned in Quas Primas (1925): “When God and Jesus Christ are removed from laws and states, the foundations of authority are destroyed.” By forming technicians rather than saints, managers rather than martyrs, this institute prepares students for the New World Order – not the Uncreated Light of Tabor. Its inauguration in 2026 – 100 years after Pius XI proclaimed Christ’s universal kingship – demonstrates the abysmal depth of the conciliar apostasy. Only through restoration of the Social Reign of Christ the King can true Catholic education rise from these modernist ashes.
