Spain’s Church-State Abuse Agreement: Masonic Subversion of Divine Justice
The EWTN News portal (January 9, 2026) reports on an agreement between the Spanish “bishops’ conference,” religious superiors, and the socialist government to establish a joint compensation system for victims of clerical sexual abuse through the PRIVA Plan. This “comprehensive reparation” scheme involves state-appointed ombudsmen determining financial settlements for cases beyond canonical statutes of limitations, with the conciliar sect’s officials praising Vatican approval of the arrangement. The report exemplifies the complete absorption of the post-conciliar structures into the anti-church of man.
Canonical Apostasy: Subjugation of the Church to Secular Power
The so-called agreement constitutes open rebellion against Quas Primas (Pius XI, 1925), which declares Christ’s kingship over all temporal powers: “Rulers of nations…must not omit to give public witness of reverence and obedience to the empire of Christ”. By establishing a mixed tribunal where state officials and victims’ associations override ecclesiastical judgment, the conciliar sect violates the Church’s divine constitution. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864) explicitly condemns the notion that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55) and that “the civil power may interfere in matters relating to religion, morality, and spiritual government” (Error 44).
Archbishop Luis Argüello’s boast about securing tax exemptions for compensation payments reveals the mercantile mentality governing these pseudo-shepherds. Contrast this with Pius XI’s warning: “When God and Jesus Christ are removed from laws and states, the foundations of authority are destroyed” (Encyclical Ubi Arcano). The very term “comprehensive reparation” constitutes blasphemy by reducing the supernatural order to financial transactions – a betrayal of the ex opere operato efficacy of sacramental confession and satisfaction required for true reparation of sins.
Naturalism Replacing Sacramental Order
The PRIVA Plan’s exclusive focus on monetary compensation exposes the conciliar sect’s complete abandonment of the Church’s sacramental mission. Nowhere does the agreement mention:
The necessity of sacramental confession for perpetrators, mandatory lifelong penances for penitent abusers, or spiritual reparation through Eucharistic adoration for victims.
This omission confirms the diagnosis in Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (1907) condemning Modernist errors that reduce religion to “man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20). The Spanish government’s involvement in determining “fair” compensation amounts constitutes state usurpation of the Church’s potestas clavorum (power of the keys) granted by Christ to bind and loose sins (Matthew 16:19).
Judas’ Bargain: Betraying the Church’s Judicial Office
Fr. Jesús Díaz Sariego’s rhetorical question – “What other institution takes responsibility for time-barred crimes?” – reveals the conciliar sect’s inversion of Catholic ecclesiology. The Church’s judicial power exists not to placate secular opinion but to administer Christ’s justice through canonical courts. The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 1556) reserves judgment of clerical crimes to ecclesiastical tribunals, while Canon 1933 §2 mandates automatic excommunication for anyone bringing clergy before civil courts without papal approval.
Cardinal Parolin’s endorsement of this agreement completes the betrayal – an act fulfilling Pius X’s warning that Modernists seek to “reconcile the Church with liberalism and modern civilization” (Condemned Proposition 80 in Lamentabili). The claim of distributing €1.8 million in “reparations” mocks true justice, as no monetary sum can absolve the conciliar sect’s failure to:
1) Defrock unrepentant abusers
2) Enforce monastic enclosure to prevent predator access to minors
3) Restore mandatory clerical dress to eliminate occasions of sin
PRIVA Plan: Masonic Blueprint for Ecclesial Destruction
This agreement institutionalizes three revolutionary errors condemned by pre-1958 Magisterium:
1. Democratization of Judgment: The inclusion of victim associations in decision-making bodies violates Leo XIII’s teaching that “the Church is an unequal society containing two classes: pastors and flock” (Satis Cognitum, 1896).
2. Secularization of Canon Law: By allowing state officials to evaluate abuse cases, the conciliar sect implements the Masonic demand condemned by Pius IX: “Ecclesiastical courts must be abolished and replaced by civil tribunals” (Syllabus Error 31).
3. Collective Guilt Heresy: Forcing innocent dioceses and orders to pay for individual criminals’ sins violates the principle of personal responsibility affirmed in Ezekiel 18:20. This Marxist notion of “structural sin” was expressly condemned in Pius XII’s Humani Generis (1950).
The PRIVA mechanism completes the conciliar revolution’s goal: reducing the Church to a NGO administered jointly by state bureaucrats and professional activists. As Pius XI warned, “When ecclesiastical jurisdiction is subordinated to secular power, the result is the ruin of both Church and State” (Encyclical Divini Illius Magistri). This Spanish agreement reveals the anti-church’s final metamorphosis – no longer a bride of Christ, but a subcontractor for globalist social engineering.
