Conciliar Sect’s Migrant Letter Rejects Church’s Spiritual Mission for Marxist Activism
The EWTN News portal (January 30, 2026) reports that 300 “Catholic” leaders, including 15 “bishops,” demanded the U.S. Senate condition ICE funding on migration policy changes. The signatories—including “Archbishop” John C. Wester and “Archbishop” Paul D. Etienne—invoke “family unity” and “human dignity” while opposing deportations under President Trump. Their letter cites a November 2025 USCCB statement condemning “indiscriminate mass deportation,” approved 216-5 by the conciliar sect’s hierarchy. This political maneuver exposes the conciliar sect’s total surrender to Marxist liberation theology, abandoning the Church’s divine mission for worldly activism.
Usurpation of Ecclesiastical Authority by Conciliar Operatives
The signatories possess no legitimate jurisdiction. As the Syllabus of Errors condemns: “Ecclesiastical law […] does not apply to authors engaged in scientific criticism” (Proposition 1), so too does Catholic doctrine reject pseudo-bishops meddling in civil governance. St. Robert Bellarmine clarifies in De Romano Pontifice that manifest heretics forfeit office automatically—a reality applying to all post-conciliar hierarchs who promote religious indifferentism. Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code confirms automatic vacancy for those publicly defecting from faith, as these signatories do by prioritizing earthly politics over the depositum fidei.
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Order
The letter reduces Catholic social teaching to sentimental humanitarianism, stating: “Our faith calls us to recognize Christ in every person.” This twisted application of Matthew 25 ignores Christ’s warning: “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s” (Matthew 22:21). Pius IX’s Syllabus explicitly condemns the notion that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Proposition 55), yet the conciliar sect demands secular governments adopt its progressive immigration policies.
Subversion of Church’s Divine Mission
Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas establishes Christ’s kingship over nations: “Rulers of states therefore not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ […] to contribute to the increase of their homeland’s happiness.” The conciliar letter inverts this principle, treating nation-states as subordinate to their globalist vision. The Syllabus condemns such overreach: “In many cases divorce properly so called may be decreed by the civil authority” (Proposition 67)—parallel logic used here to usurp civil immigration enforcement.
Omission of Final Judgment and Salvation
Nowhere does the letter mention migrants’ spiritual state—whether they adhere to the extra Ecclesiam nulla salus doctrine or receive sacraments from valid priests. This silence proves the conciliar sect’s apostasy. Pius XII’s Mystici Corporis Christi declares: “No one […] can be in the Church of Christ unless he recognizes the authority of Peter and his legitimate successors.” By contrast, the signatories celebrate “Jesuit Refugee Service” and “Catholic Volunteer Network”—organizations that distribute invalid “sacraments” while ignoring souls in mortal sin.
Heretical Foundations of USCCB Statement
The referenced 2025 USCCB document opposing deportations embodies Modernism condemned by St. Pius X in Lamentabili Sane: “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20). True shepherds would warn migrants of hellfire and schismatic “churches,” not lobby for their earthly comfort. The conciliar sect’s “alternatives to detention” policy echoes the condemned error: “The entire government of public schools […] may and ought to appertain to the civil power” (Syllabus, Proposition 45).
Revolutionary Violence Masked as Charity
The letter decries “disproportionate use of force” against anti-ICE protesters, including those killed in Minneapolis. Yet it ignores Catholic teaching on lawful authority: “He beareth not the sword in vain: for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil” (Romans 13:4). Leo XIII’s Libertas Praestantissimum condemns revolutionaries who “pervert the freedom which has been granted them by God.” The “STAND” initiative’s call for “public witness” thinly veils approval of illegal protests condemned by Pius IX: “It is lawful to refuse obedience to legitimate princes, and even to rebel against them” (Proposition 63).
Conclusion: Apostasy Institutionalized
This letter proves the conciliar sect has become a political NGO. As Pius XI warned in Quas Primas: “When God and Jesus Christ are removed from laws and states […] the entire human society had to be shaken.” True Catholics must reject these false shepherds and cling to the semper idem Faith—proclaiming Christ’s Social Kingship while denouncing the conciliar abomination.
