Cuban Bishops’ Pseudo-Pastoral Complicity in Revolutionary Tyranny
VaticanNews portal reports (January 31, 2026) that Cuba’s conciliar “bishops” have issued a message warning of “risk of social chaos and violence” following US sanctions threatening Cuba’s oil supply. The text invokes “dialogue,” “human dignity,” and quotes antipope Leo XIV’s “hour of love” rhetoric while citing John Paul II’s 1998 visit. It claims the Church serves hope through “prayer, Gospel proclamation, and service to the vulnerable,” requesting spaces for “dialogue and cooperation” if asked.
Naturalism Replacing Supernatural Mission
The message reduces the Church’s mission to social crisis management, stating “the Catholic Church will continue to accompany the Cuban people in her own mission: to pray, to proclaim the Gospel, and to serve, especially the most vulnerable”. This inverts the ordo finium (hierarchy of ends), prioritizing temporal suffering over eternal salvation. Pius XI condemned such horizontalism: “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” (Quas Primas, 1925). The document omits Cuba’s need for consecration to Christ the King and the Social Reign of the Sacred Heart – the only solution to revolutionary tyranny.
Dialogue With Revolution: Apostolic Betrayal
Their claim that “conflicts must be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy, never through coercion” constitutes theological treason. The Syllabus of Errors condemns the notion that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Error 80, Pius IX, 1864). True shepherds would demand the regime’s unconditional submission to Immortale Dei (Leo XIII, 1885): “There is no difference of duty for the Catholic, according as he is also a citizen or a public official. He may not overlook the duty of obedience… unless their laws are contrary to the laws of God.” Instead, these “bishops” legitimize Castro-Communist oppression through false irenicism.
Quoting Anti-Popes: Masonic Continuity
Invoking John Paul II’s 1998 visit – where he praised Cuba’s “achievements” in education and healthcare under Communism – exposes their revolutionary complicity. The message quotes this antipope: “isolation affects the population indiscriminately, placing the heaviest burden on the weakest”, ignoring that spiritual isolation from grace under atheist regimes constitutes the ultimate oppression. Their reference to antipope Leo XIV’s “hour of love” slogan continues the anti-Thomist destruction of justice. True pastors would cite Pius XI’s Divini Redemptoris (1937): “Communism is intrinsically wrong, and no one who would save Christian civilization may collaborate with it in any field whatsoever.”
Omission of Sacramental Realities
Nowhere do these “bishops” mention:
- The Sacraments as sole refuge amidst suffering
- The necessity of grace to overcome communist materialism
- Reparation for Cuba’s state-sponsored blasphemies (e.g., suppression of Corpus Christi processions)
Their silence confirms the conciliar sect’s sacramental desertification. Compare this to the 1864 Syllabus condemning those who claim “the Church has not the power of using force” (Error 24) or “the Church ought to be separated from the State” (Error 55). Authentic Cuban Catholics need the Mass of Ages, not NGO-style “service.”
Conclusion: Revolutionary Captivity of Conciliar Church
These “bishops” function as chaplains to tyranny, hiding behind humanitarian rhetoric while refusing to denounce:
- Cuba’s persecution of underground Catholics
- The regime’s destruction of marriage through gender ideology
- Mandatory Marxist indoctrination replacing catechism
Their message proves the conciliar sect’s inability to “restore all things in Christ” (Pius X, E Supremi). Only by rejecting Vatican II’s Gaudium et Spes and returning to the integral Faith can Cuba’s veri catholici (true Catholics) rebuild Christ’s Kingdom amid revolutionary ruins.
