Neo-Church’s Racial Division Masquerading as Justice
The EWTN News article of February 4, 2026, reports that U.S. “bishops” Daniel E. Garcia and Roy E. Campbell commemorated the 100th anniversary of Black History Month. They urged Catholics to “be faithful stewards of memory” and “courageous witnesses to truth,” citing their 2018 document *Open Wide Our Hearts*, which describes racism as America’s “original sin.” The article traces Black History Month’s origins to Carter G. Woodson’s 1926 “Negro History Week” and frames the event as a tool to “challenge systemic racism” and “celebrate the journey toward equality.”
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Purpose of the Church
The “bishops'” statement reduces the Church’s mission to social activism, stating that “history has been preserved, honored, and passed on across generations” while omitting the raison d’être of Christ’s Mystical Body: the sanctification of souls through the sacraments and conversion to the One True Faith. Pius XI condemned this inversion in Quas Primas, declaring: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony” (1925). Instead, the “bishops” parrot secular identitarian rhetoric—”systemic racism“—a Marxist construct rejected by Catholic social teaching.
Heretical Conflation of Original Sin with Racial Guilt
The claim that racism constitutes America’s “original sin” constitutes theological sabotage. Original Sin is the fallen state inherited from Adam (Council of Trent, Session V), not a sociological condition. By equating the two, Garcia and Campbell distort sacramental theology. The Syllabus of Errors explicitly condemns the notion that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55), yet the “bishops” treat racial politics as a parallel soteriology. Their document’s silence on actual Original Sin—and its remedy through Baptism—exposes their apostasy.
Canonization of Martin Luther King Jr.: A Masonic Triumph
The article prominently features Martin Luther King Jr., whose “I Have a Dream” speech is uncritically celebrated. King rejected Catholic moral teaching, calling contraception a “form of genocide” unnecessary for blacks (1966), and adulterated Christian theology with Hindu syncretism through his plagiarism of Gandhi. Pius IX’s Syllabus condemns those who “imagine that the salvation of souls can be found in any sect whatsoever” (Error 17). Worse, King’s activism advanced civil disobedience against lawful authority, anathematized by Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos (1832): “This shameful font of indifferentism gives rise to that absurd and erroneous proposition which claims that liberty of conscience must be maintained for everyone.”
Black History Month’s Anti-Catholic Roots
Carter G. Woodson, founder of Negro History Week (1926), was a member of Omega Psi Phi—a fraternity steeped in Masonic ritual. His project aimed to “engineer an educational movement that would rewrite history to serve political ends“ (Woodson, *The Mis-Education of the Negro*, 1933). The “bishops” uncritically endorse this secular-humanist endeavor, violating Pius IX’s condemnation of “progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” (Syllabus, Error 80). Nowhere do they mention that the only true liberation is through submission to Christ the King—not racial essentialism.
Omission of the Church’s Actual Heroes
The “bishops” erase authentic Catholic exemplars like St. Benedict the Moor (1526-1589), canonized in 1807, whose holiness transcended racial categories. Instead, they promote a naturalistic pantheon of “Black leaders,” implicitly denying the universal call to sanctity. The Council of Florence (1442) dogmatized that “no one remaining outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews, heretics, and schismatics, can become partakers of eternal life“—a truth the neo-church suppresses to appease modernity.
Conclusion: Apostasy in the Guise of Justice
This statement epitomizes the conciliar sect’s betrayal. By reducing the Church to a racial advocacy group, Garcia and Campbell deny extra Ecclesiam nulla salus and Christ’s social kingship. As St. Pius X warned in Lamentabili Sane, Modernists reduce dogma to “an interpretation of religious facts which the human mind has acquired by laborious effort” (Proposition 22). Until these “bishops” renounce their heresies and return to the integral Faith, their words serve only the Synagogue of Satan (Apocalypse 2:9).
