The EWTN News portal reports that Filipino bishops oppose a government plan to build a nuclear power plant in Pangasinan province, citing safety concerns and promoting renewable energy instead. Archbishop Socrates Villegas and five other bishops issued a December 4 pastoral letter invoking Japanese bishops’ Fukushima commemorations and the environmental rhetoric of Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) to justify their position. The article frames this as a moral stance while ignoring the Church’s historical teaching on human dominion over creation.
Sacred Doctrine Subordinated to Environmentalist Paganism
The conciliar sect’s pseudo-bishops demonstrate their fundamental apostasy by prioritizing temporal ecological concerns over the Church’s divine mandate to “teach all nations” (Matthew 28:19). Their statement reduces Catholic moral theology to risk-assessment calculations, declaring that “the risks are greater than the benefits” regarding nuclear energy while remaining silent on the eternal risks of souls damned through the conciliar sect’s abandonment of the sacraments. This inversion of priorities stems directly from the Gaudium et Spes heresy that “the joys and hopes, the griefs and anxieties of the men of this time […] are the joys and hopes, the griefs and anxieties of the followers of Christ” (Vatican II, GS 1).
Pius XI condemned such naturalism in Quas Primas, establishing that Christ’s kingship demands societal submission to His laws: “Nations will be reminded by the annual celebration of this feast that not only private individuals but also rulers and princes are bound to give public honor and obedience to Christ” (Pius XI, 1925). The Filipino pseudo-bishops’ letter contains zero references to Christ’s social reign, instead parroting United Nations sustainability rhetoric. Their appeal to “stewardship for future generations” constitutes idolatrous earth-worship when divorced from the primary obligation to ensure those generations receive valid sacraments – an impossibility under their modernist sect.
Conciliar Sect’s Selective Anti-Technological Prudence Exposed
These conciliar functionaries adopt a pretended “prudence” toward nuclear technology while enthusiastically embracing all modernist errors that poison souls. They cite the Fukushima disaster yet remain silent about the ongoing disaster of invalid sacraments administered through their sect’s illicit Pauline Rite. The pseudo-bishops invoke “renewable energy infrastructure that ensures safety” while sanctioning the spiritual infrastructure of religious liberty condemned by Pius IX: “Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true” (Syllabus of Errors, 15).
Their technophobic stance contradicts Catholic tradition exemplified by Pius XII’s address to the World Power Conference (1955), where he blessed engineers “whose work contributes to the material progress which, when ordained to God’s glory and man’s true welfare, becomes an instrument of spiritual advancement.” The Syllabus explicitly condemns the notion that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” (Error 80) – precisely what these bishops attempt by aligning with anti-nuclear environmentalism.
Fraudulent Appeal to Nonexistent Magisterial Authority
The pseudo-bishops compound their apostasy by appealing to the discredited authority of Jorge Bergoglio and the Japanese bishops’ conference. They quote Bergoglio’s “paramount importance of safety” while ignoring his heretical statements like “Who am I to judge?” regarding homosexuals. Their reference to Japanese bishops’ Fukushima statement constitutes theological farce, given that Japan’s conciliar sect boasts a 0.3% Catholicism rate after decades of modernist betrayal.
Authentic Catholic moral teaching requires evaluating nuclear energy through the principles of double effect and just proportionality – categories entirely absent from the bishops’ naturalistic calculus. Leo XIII established that “civil society must acknowledge God as its Founder and Parent” (Immortale Dei, 1885), meaning energy policy must serve Christ’s reign, not UN sustainability goals. By contrast, the Filipino pseudo-bishops adopt the condemned modernist position that “the Church ought to adapt herself to the modern world” (St. Pius X, Pascendi, 26).
Omission of Supernatural Finality Constitutes Material Heresy
Nowhere does the pseudo-pastoral letter mention the salvation of souls, state of grace, or Four Last Things – the very raison d’ĂȘtre of authentic episcopal office. This confirms their status as wolves in shepherds’ clothing, fulfilling Pius X’s warning about modernists: “They do not deny, but they do not affirm, they remain silent” (Pascendi, 10). Their environmentalism embodies the “cult of man” condemned in the Syllabus (Error 58), reducing creation’s purpose from manifesting God’s glory to serving material human comfort.
True Catholic teaching proclaims with Pius XII that “technology, when inspired and guided by the divine law, can lift human labor from the sphere of necessity to the higher sphere of freedom” (Address to Pontifical Academy of Sciences, 1953). The conciliar sect’s selective opposition to nuclear energy – while embracing all other modern errors – proves their allegiance to the “mystery of iniquity” (2 Thess 2:7) rather than the Mystical Body of Christ. Until they repent and return to the unchanging Faith, their pronouncements merit only contemptuous dismissal as the chatter of “enemies of the Cross of Christ” (Philippians 3:18).
