Naturalistic Solutions to Europe’s Crisis Mask Deeper Apostasy
EWTN News reports on Eva Vlaardingerbroek’s appearance on “The World Over with Raymond Arroyo,” where she decried Europe’s collapse of legal order after being barred from the United Kingdom for criticizing Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The Dutch commentator linked mass migration to rising violence and church burnings, claiming governments reward lawbreaking migrants with housing and healthcare while native populations suffer. Vlaardingerbroek diagnosed this as a post-WWII ideological pathology where European institutions equate Christian conservatives with Nazis and systematically erase Christianity from public consciousness. While advocating strict border enforcement modeled on U.S. ICE operations, she asserted Catholic charity permits controlled immigration but demands punishment for illegal entry.
Reduction of Social Order to Mere Natural Law
Vlaardingerbroek’s analysis remains trapped in Enlightenment categories, treating Europe’s crisis as a political rather than theological catastrophe. Though correctly identifying symptoms – banned speech, migrant crime, church arsons – she prescribes secular remedies: stronger policing, border walls, and legal reforms. This ignores Pope Pius XI’s condemnation of states that “renounce and do not wish to recognize the reign of our Savior” (Quas Primas). By framing immigration through “rule of law” discourse instead of Lex Christi Regis (the Law of Christ the King), she implicitly accepts the modern heresy condemned in the Syllabus of Errors: “The State, as being the origin and source of all rights, is endowed with a certain right not circumscribed by any limits” (Proposition 39).
The burning churches she laments constitute divine judgment upon nations that abandoned their baptismal vows, a truth articulated by Leo XIII: “When very many have removed Jesus Christ and His most holy law from their customs, from private, family, and public life… human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation” (Pius XI, Quas Primas quoting Ubi Arcano). Vlaardingerbroek’s silence about Europe’s deeper apostasy – abortion, sodomy “marriage,” and the Vatican II revolution – reveals a naturalistic worldview incompatible with Catholic integralism.
False Platform of the Conciliar Sect
Her appearance on EWTN – a propaganda arm of the conciliar sect – demonstrates complicity with the very system destroying Christendom. When she claims “the governments and the legal system seem to be working hand in hand” with destructive immigration policies, she omits that the post-Conciliar “popes” enabled this through Vatican II’s heresies: religious liberty (Dignitatis Humanae), collegiality, and ecumenism. The European Union’s anti-Christian agenda flows directly from the “spirit of the Council,” which the true Magisterium foresaw as “the synthesis of all heresies” (St. Pius X, Lamentabili Sane).
By accepting EWTN’s platform without denouncing its false obedience to antipopes, Vlaardingerbroek legitimizes the counterfeit church apparatus. St. Robert Bellarmine’s principle applies: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope” (De Romano Pontifice). Since John XXIII’s election violated Pope Paul IV’s Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio (invalidating heretics’ claims to office), all subsequent “popes” usurp Peter’s throne. Thus, her appeal to “Catholic values” within this false paradigm constitutes material cooperation with apostasy.
Omission of Supernatural Remedies
Nowhere does Vlaardingerbroek mention the only solution to Europe’s crisis: public submission to the Social Kingship of Jesus Christ. Pius XI instituted Christ the King’s feast precisely against the “plague that poisons human society” – secularism – yet she reduces Catholic social doctrine to border enforcement. Contrast this with the Pope’s words: “When men… both privately and publicly, will recognize Christ’s royal authority over themselves, then unheard-of blessings… such as due freedom, order, and tranquility, and concord and peace” will flow (Quas Primas).
Her call for charity toward “some immigration” ignores the patristic consensus that nations must publicly profess Christ’s reign to receive divine protection. As the Council of Trent teaches: “The entire government of public schools… belong[s] to [the Church]” (Condemned Proposition 45). Vlaardingerbroek’s silence about Catholic education’s collapse – replaced by state indoctrination in gender ideology – proves her analysis stops at nationalism, never ascending to the supernatural.
Subversion Through Controlled Opposition
The interview exemplifies how the conciliar sect co-opts critics to channel discontent into dead ends. By permitting Vlaardingerbroek to attack immigration while avoiding Vatican II’s errors, EWTN neutralizes resistance. This mirrors the “False Fatima” operation’s disinformation strategy: “Stage 3 (1958-2000): Takeover of the narrative by modernists, concealment of the Third Secret, ecumenical reinterpretation” (False Fatima Apparitions).
True Catholics must reject all collaboration with the occupiers of Vatican structures. As Pope St. Pius X decreed: “General Councils… ought not to rashly pass judgment against [the Pope]” – but once manifest heretics occupy the See, they cease being pope automatically (Lamentabili Sane; Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice). Until Europe’s nations kneel before Christ the King – not mere “conservative Christianity” – her prescriptions amount to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
