Mexican Modernist Prelates’ Hollow Condemnations Mask Apostasy
The EWTN News portal (January 27, 2026) reports on the Mexican “Bishops’ Conference” condemning a January 25 soccer field massacre in Guanajuato (11 dead, 12 wounded) and a January 24 attempted arson at Puebla Cathedral. The “bishops” vaguely demand investigations while lamenting violence that “does grave injury to life, human dignity, and peaceful coexistence.” Their statement frames the cathedral attack as damage to “material, spiritual, and cultural heritage,” concluding with an empty invocation of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Naturalistic Reduction of the Church’s Mission
The “conference” reduces the Church’s duty to a human rights NGO, decrying violence solely as societal dysfunction. Not once do these apostates mention:
- The regnum sociale Christi (social kingship of Christ) as the sole foundation of true peace (Pius XI, Quas Primas)
- Mexico’s collective apostasy from Catholicism as the root cause of moral collapse
- The necessity of public repentance and submission to Christ the King
Their statement claims the massacre harms “peaceful coexistence” – a secular UN term – while ignoring St. Augustine’s doctrine that pax omnium rerum tranquillitas ordinis (“peace is the tranquility of order”) requires submission to divine law. The Guanajuato governor’s promise to “restore peace” through state action compounds the heresy, denying that “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
Sacrilege Reduced to “Cultural Heritage” Damage
By calling the Puebla Cathedral arson attempt an attack on “cultural heritage,” the “bishops” commit sacrilege greater than the flames. They equate God’s temple with a museum, ignoring Christ’s words: “Do not make my Father’s house a house of trade” (John 2:16). The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 1172) mandates excommunication for church arsonists as vitandi (to be avoided), yet these hirelings reduce the crime to property damage.
“This act attacks the material, spiritual, and cultural heritage of humanity.”
This relativistic phrasing denies the cathedral’s primary purpose: housing the Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament. True shepherds would have thundered: “You have defied the Living God!”
Silence on the Blood of Martyrs
The massacre victims’ spiritual state goes unmentioned – a damning omission. Traditional Catholic pastoral theology demands:
- Urging last rites for the dying
- Warning survivors to “remember your last end” (Ecclesiasticus 7:40)
- Denouncing drug cartels as Satanic militias enslaving souls
Instead, the “conference” peddles the modernist lie that grace depends on state security forces. Where St. Paul gloried in chains (2 Timothy 2:9), these cowards beg Caesar for protection.
Symptomatic of Conciliar Apostasy
This statement epitomizes Vatican II’s heresies:
- Religious indifferentism: No call for Mexico’s conversion to Christ the King
- Naturalism: Reducing the Church to a social worker (Pius IX, Syllabus of Errors §39)
- False ecumenism: Addressing “all society” without distinguishing between baptized apostates and pagans
The “bishops” invoke Our Lady of Guadalupe while rejecting her 1531 demand to “build me a temple here” – for they serve the conciliar anti-church that has turned cathedrals into ecumenical conference centers.
Conclusion: Wolves in Miters
Mexico’s suffering flows directly from its hierarchy’s 70-year betrayal. As Our Lord warned: “All who came before me are thieves and robbers” (John 10:8). Until true Catholic bishops reconsecrate Mexico to Christ the King and expel the drug cartels with exorcisms and missionary zeal, such bloodshed will continue. These modernist “prelates” cannot give what they lack: the integral Faith that conquers hell itself.
