Conciliar Sect Exploits Cristero Centenary for Ecumenical Agenda
The EWTN News portal (January 14, 2026) reports that over 45,000 youths will participate in a pilgrimage to the Christ the King monument on Cubilete Hill in Mexico’s Guanajuato state. Organized by the group “Witness and Hope,” the event commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Cristero War, a Catholic uprising against the anti-clerical “Calles Law” of 1926. The program includes a nocturnal “Cubifest” concert, a Holy Hour, and a Mass led by Joseph Spiteri, the Vatican’s apostolic nuncio to Mexico, alongside León archbishop Jaime Calderón Calderón and other “bishops” of the conciliar sect. Organizers lament “subtle censorship” against Catholics today, citing attacks on churches and murdered priests, while disavowing armed resistance in favor of “peaceful” demands for religious freedom.
Naturalistic Distortion of the Cristero Martyrs’ Legacy
The article reduces the Cristero War—a heroic defense of Christus Rex (Christ the King) against Masonic persecution—to a vague call for “unity” and “peace.” Rubén Loya of “Witness and Hope” claims the event honors “resistance” rather than war, framing the Cristero martyrs as passive victims rather than soldiers of Christ who “loved not their lives unto death” (Apocalypse 12:11). This sanitized narrative omits the dogmatic truth that the Cristeros fought to restore the social kingship of Christ, explicitly condemned by the modernist Vatican II sect through its heresy of religious liberty (cf. Dignitatis Humanae). Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) declares:
“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” (§31).
By contrast, the organizers seek merely “respect” for faith in the “private sphere,” tacitly accepting the apostate Mexican state’s right to confine religion to sacristies.
Illicit Worship and False Shepherds
The Mass celebrated by Spiteri—an agent of the Bergoglian antipope—and Calderón Calderón constitutes sacrilege, as both adhere to the Novus Ordo Missae, a fabricated rite that undermines the propitiatory sacrifice (Pius V, Quo Primum). The conciliar sect’s “bishops,” lacking jurisdiction due to their communion with modernist antipopes (Paul IV, Cum ex Apostolatus Officio), cannot licitly offer the True Mass or confer sacraments. St. Robert Bellarmine warns: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope” (De Romano Pontifice II.30), and the Vatican II antipopes have publicly espoused heresies like universal salvation (Francis, Evangelii Gaudium §237). The Cubilete Hill shrine itself is mired in ambiguity: Its 20th-century statue evokes syncretic imagery, evading the Regali ac Sacratissimo Cordi Iesu (1899) requirement that Christ the King depictions display “imperial emblems” (scepter, orb, crown) to affirm His dominion over nations.
Omission of the Real Crisis: Apostasy Within
While decrying “censorship,” organizers ignore the primary source of persecution: the conciliar sect’s betrayal of Catholic doctrine. The Cristero martyrs died opposing Calles’ Masonic regime—the same force now entrenched in the Vatican through Freemason-inspired reforms (Pius IX, Etsi Multa; Leo XIII, Humanum Genus). The article’s lament over “reforms that seek to limit religious life” ironically describes the Novus Ordo’s destruction of contemplative orders and traditional liturgy. True Catholics recognize that Mexico’s violence stems from its rejection of Cuius Regio, Eius Religio (Whose realm, his religion)—the principle enshrined in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors, which condemns the heresy that “the Church ought to be separated from the State” (§55).
Conclusion: A Counterfeit Witness
This spectacle exploits the Cristero centenary to advance the conciliar sect’s ecumenical agenda. By reducing the Faith to a “private” matter and collaborating with antipapal usurpers, “Witness and Hope” perpetuates the very apostasy the Cristeros fought to eradicate. As Pope St. Pius X decreed: “The true friends of the people are neither revolutionaries nor innovators, but traditionalists” (Notre Charge Apostolique). Until Mexico’s Catholics renounce the Vatican II sect and return to the unchanging Magisterium, such pilgrimages remain a hollow pantomime—a betrayal of the 250,000 Cristero martyrs whose blood cries out for Christ’s Reign, not Bergoglian syncretism.
