Conciliar Sect’s African Assembly Exposes Apostate Priorities
The VaticanNews portal (January 29, 2026) reports that the usurper of the Apostolic See, Mr. Robert Prevost (“Pope Leo XIV”), addressed the Association of Episcopal Conferences of Central Africa (ACERAC), praising their implementation of the post-conciliar program. The message, delivered through his collaborator Pietro Parolin, lauds the African “church” as a “living, strong, and dynamic reality” while promoting inculturation, interreligious dialogue, and social activism devoid of Catholic substance. This spectacle confirms the conciliar sect’s total abandonment of the Church’s divine mission.
False Ecclesiology Replaces Mystical Body of Christ
The article’s claim that the “Church in Africa is indeed a living, strong, and dynamic reality” constitutes ecclesiological heresy. Pius XII’s Mystici Corporis Christi (1943) declares the true Church is “the Mystical Body of Christ… a society of men united by the profession of the same Christian Faith” under the Roman Pontiff (¶13). By contrast, the ACERAC assembly – composed of invalidly consecrated “bishops” adhering to the Novus Ordo – promotes a naturalistic entity reduced to social work. Their stated “pastoral priorities” (interfaith relations, environmentalism, refugee advocacy) conspicuously omit:
• Defense of the Tridentine Mass
• Condemnation of contraception and abortion
• Reparation for blasphemies against the Eucharist
• Mission to convert non-Catholics
This silence exposes the conciliar sect’s adherence to Paul VI’s Ecclesiam Suam (1964), which replaced conversion with dialogue – a betrayal of Our Lord’s command: “Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 28:19).
Inculturation: Modernist Subversion of Divine Revelation
The message’s praise for “finding within each culture the appropriate forms for proclaiming the Word” revives the Modernist heresy condemned by St. Pius X in Lamentabili Sane (1907):
“The dogmas which the Church proposes as revealed are not truths fallen from heaven, but a kind of interpretation of religious facts which the human mind has laboriously devised.” (Proposition 22)
True missionary work, exemplified by St. Francis Xavier’s mass conversions in Asia, baptizes cultures – it does not adulterate doctrine to accommodate pagan practices. The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 1350) mandated missionaries to eradicate superstitions and impose Roman liturgical discipline. Yet the ACERAC promotes the exact syncretism Pius XI forbade in Quas Primas: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony” (¶19).
Naturalism Masquerading as Pastoral Care
Mr. Prevost’s call to “hear the voices of the many young people who risk their lives for better conditions” prioritizes Marxist liberation theology over spiritual salvation. Contrast this with Pius X’s warning against “the social question and sociology predominantly occupying the place of the traditional ascetical theology“ (Pascendi Dominici Gregis, ¶2). The article’s focus on refugees and “pacification of hearts” ignores the only solution to Africa’s crises: submission to the Social Kingship of Christ. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864) condemns this naturalism:
“The Church is an enemy of the progress of natural and theological sciences.” (Proposition 57 – condemned)
“Truth changes with man, because it develops with him, in him, and through him.” (Proposition 58 – condemned)
Nowhere does the message mention sacramental confession to resolve “family divisions” or Eucharistic adoration to combat witchcraft. Instead, it reduces the priesthood to a NGO bureaucracy – the ultimate fulfillment of Annibale Bugnini’s liturgical revolution.
Pseudo-Doctrinal Continuity with Apostate Texts
The assembly’s theme – commemorating 31 years of Ecclesia in Africa – exalts John Paul II’s 1995 exhortation that declared: “The Church is God’s Family in the world” (¶63). This demotes the Church from a divine monarchy into an egalitarian commune – a heresy anticipated and condemned by Pius VI in Auctorem Fidei (1794):
“The proposition which teaches that the power given by God to the Church… was given to the community of the faithful is heretical.” (Proposition 30)
All conciliar texts (including Ecclesia in Africa) derive from Vatican II’s Lumen Gentium, which denies the Church’s visibility and necessity for salvation – doctrines defined at Lateran IV and by Boniface VIII’s Unam Sanctam.
Crisis of Authority: Invalid Shepherds Cannot Forgive Sins
The article’s reference to “priests, collaborators, deacons, men and women religious” implies validity of sacraments administered by conciliar clergy. Yet the New Ordination Rites (1968) lack the proper matter, form, and intention for valid Holy Orders, as declared by the Catholic bishops at the Council of Baltimore (1884) and affirmed by Leo XIII’s Apostolicae Curae (1896). Consequently:
• No true Mass is offered in Novus Ordo “parishes”
• Absolution given with the New Rite of Penance is invalid
• “Bishops” like Martin Waïngue Bani possess no apostolic authority
Africa’s only hope lies in the few remaining valid clergy who preserve the Tridentine Mass and denounce the conciliar antipopes.
