Conciliar Sect’s Bishop Undermines Divine Justice in Bangladesh Death Penalty Case
The “Bangladesh Catholic Bishops’ Conference” through its secretary, “Bishop” Ponen Paul Kubi, CSC, criticized the death sentence imposed on former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as “politically motivated” and an “abuse of power,” while declaring the post-conciliar sect’s opposition to capital punishment. The EWTN News portal (November 17, 2025) reports Kubi’s claim that the verdict was “one-sided” and that “the accused had no lawyer,” suggesting governmental misuse of power. Kubi stated: “The Catholic Church has never supported the death penalty” and advocated for “remedial” punishment over execution, condemning the verdict as uncivilized.
Rejection of Perennial Catholic Doctrine on State Authority
The conciliar sect’s representative propagates heresy directly condemned by numerous papal documents. Quas Primas (Pius XI, 1925) explicitly teaches that “the State, constituted as it is, is clearly bound to conform to the Christian faith in worship and respect Christ as King” (n. 32). The condemned Modernist error surfaces in Kubi’s assertion that “even if Sheikh Hasina committed a crime, she should be punished in a way that is remedial,” rejecting the State’s God-given authority to impose capital punishment for grave crimes (Genesis 9:6, Romans 13:4).
The Syllabus of Errors (Pius IX, 1864) anathematizes the proposition that “the Church has not the power of using force” (Error 24) and condemns those who claim “the abolition of the death penalty” (Errors 64-77). Kubi’s statement directly contradicts St. Thomas Aquinas: “The civil rulers execute, justly and sinlessly, pestiferous men in order to protect the state” (Summa Theologica II-II, q. 64, a. 2).
Naturalistic Presuppositions in Conciliar Sect’s Rhetoric
The linguistic analysis reveals the neo-church’s surrender to Enlightenment principles:
“If we judge in a hurry and give a verdict as we wish, we are no longer living in civilization, we have gone back to the primitive era.”
This statement implies moral relativism, measuring justice by temporal “civilization” standards rather than immutable divine law. The silence about Sheikh Hasina’s alleged crimes against humanity – including drone attacks on protesters causing 1,400+ deaths – demonstrates the conciliar sect’s abandonment of justitia (justice) in favor of misericordia (mercy) divorced from truth.
Moreover, the article’s description of public celebrations over the verdict – “people began distributing sweets in the Dhaka University area” – receives no theological critique from Kubi. True Catholic shepherds would condemn mob vengeance while upholding lawful penalties, per Augustine: “Remove justice, and what are kingdoms but gangs of criminals on a large scale?” (City of God IV, 4).
Omission of Supernatural Realities Exposes Modernist Apostasy
The gravest error lies in what neither the “bishop” nor the article mentions:
1. No reference to the eternal consequences of unrepented mass murder
2. No call for Sheikh Hasina’s conversion to avoid eternal damnation
3. No distinction between vengeance and righteous justice
This naturalistic reduction echoes the heresy condemned in Lamentabili Sane (1907): “Truth changes with man, because it develops with him, in him, and through him” (Error 58). The conciliar sect’s silence on the Four Last Things (death, judgment, heaven, hell) confirms its apostasy from Catholic eschatology.
Symptomatic of Conciliar Revolution’s Fruits
The interim government’s actions reveal the inevitable fruit of rejecting Christ’s Social Kingship:
“The interim government has formally requested India’s cooperation in extraditing Hasina to face the tribunal.”
This appeal to secular international bodies instead of divine law fulfills Pius XI’s warning: “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 19). Bangladesh’s turmoil stems from implementing Vatican II’s false religious liberty (Dignitatis Humanae), which the Syllabus of Errors condemns as “the liberty of perdition” (Errors 15-18).
The “bishop’s” stance proves the conciliar sect’s complicity in building the City of Man against the City of God. As St. Augustine teaches: “What is a State but a multitude of men bound together by some bond of concord?” (Epistle 138). By undermining divinely-ordained justice, the neo-church accelerates society’s dissolution into chaos.
