Indigenous Rights Advocacy Exposes Post-Conciliar Church’s Abandonment of Spiritual Mission
EWTN News portal reports (November 6, 2025) that indigenous Catholics in Bangladesh requested greater “Church support” for land rights and cultural preservation during the visit of Michael Czerny, head of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development. The article focuses on activists demanding political advocacy from the “Justice and Peace Commission” while ignoring the Church’s primary duty: the sanctification of souls through the sacraments and proclamation of Christ the King.
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Faith
The article’s entire framework reduces the Church’s mission to social activism, exemplifying the conciliar sect’s abandonment of Regnare Christum omnes in omnibus (That Christ may reign over all in all, Pius XI Quas Primas). Nowhere does it mention indigenous Catholics’ need for sacramental grace or protection from heresy. Instead, it promotes:
“Proper and meaningful recognition of Indigenous peoples’ rights is a big challenge here in Bangladesh… Major challenges include human rights violations, land grabbing…”
This echoes the naturalist errors condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus (1864) which rejected the notion that “the Church ought to reconcile herself with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” (Error 80). The true Catholic position was articulated by Pius XI: “When God and Jesus Christ are removed from laws and states… the entire human society had to be shaken” (Quas Primas).
Conciliar “Development” Doctrine Inverts Hierarchical Order
Czerny’s statement reveals the modernist inversion of Catholic principles:
“No one can develop someone else… The Church promotes integral human development, but the people themselves are the primary agents of their own development.”
This contradicts the Church’s divine mandate to teach all nations (Matthew 28:19). As Pius X condemned in Lamentabili (1907), such errors place man above God, imagining that “truth changes with man, because it develops with him, in him, and through him” (Error 58). The true Church develops peoples by making them subjects of Christ the King, not political activists.
Pseudo-Magisterial Structures Advance Anti-Catholic Agenda
The so-called “Justice and Peace Commission” operates as a vehicle for UN goals, not Catholic tradition. Its promotion of “climate adaptation and mitigation” and the “U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples” demonstrates allegiance to the New World Order. As Pius XI warned in Quas Primas:
“Rulers of states therefore not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ… Let them fulfill this duty themselves and with their people, if they wish to maintain their authority inviolate.”
The article’s silence about restoring Christ’s social kingship proves these structures have embraced the condemned liberal principle of Church-State separation (Pius IX Syllabus Error 55).
Indigenous Culture Idolatry Replaces Evangelization
Activists demand “respect the cultures, dignity, and rights of Indigenous peoples” without reference to their need for conversion or sanctification. This constitutes the heresy of religious indifferentism condemned by Pius IX: “Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation” (Error 16). The true Church remembers St. Paul’s command: “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema” (Galatians 1:8).
Conclusion: Apostasy Disguised as Compassion
This event epitomizes the conciliar sect’s betrayal of its divine mission. While indigenous Catholics face real temporal challenges, their shepherds offer them stones of political activism instead of the living bread of doctrine and sacraments. As Our Lord warned: “What doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul?” (Matthew 16:26). Until these structures return to proclaiming Christ’s universal kingship as articulated in pre-1958 magisterium, they remain accomplices in the spiritual starvation of the flock.
