Kyiv “Bishop” Colludes with U.S. Secretary of State in Betrayal of Catholic Principles
EWTN News reports that Vitaliy Kryvytskyi, a “bishop” of the conciliar sect’s Kyiv-Zhytomyr structure, met with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on February 4, 2026. The article frames this encounter as a discussion about “faith” and Ukraine’s humanitarian crisis, omitting all reference to the Church’s divine mission to combat error and proclaim Christ’s social kingship. Kryvytskyi claims he is “not a politician” while engaging in precisely political theater with a globalist operative. The report concludes with saccharine descriptions of Ukrainian churches as mere “oases” for charging phones rather than fonts of sacramental grace.
Naturalism Masquerading as Pastoral Care
The article celebrates how “churches [are] turned into an oasis where people can… charge a phone, [get] coffee, or just stay warm.” This reduction of sacred spaces to secular social service centers directly violates Pius XI’s condemnation of those who would make the Church “a slave of human society” (Quas Primas, §18). The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 1185) mandates churches be reserved exclusively for divine worship, forbidding profane uses. Kryvytskyi’s boast that “many come to Ukrainian churches for food” confirms his abandonment of the priestly duty to feed souls with Truth before tending to bodily needs (Mt 15:14; Mk 8:36).
“We’re doing everything possible to turn our churches into an oasis, where people can come and just find the most essential things, even to charge a phone, to have a warm cup of coffee, or just to stay warm.”
Nowhere does Kryvytskyi mention offering the Sacrificium Deo vivum et vero (the living and true Sacrifice to God) – the very purpose of ecclesiastical structures. This silence on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass exposes the conciliar sect’s fundamental apostasy from Catholic worship. Pius XII warned that when pastors cease emphasizing “the august Sacrifice of the Altar,” they become “mute dogs” incapable of guarding the flock (Mediator Dei, §3).
False Ecumenism with Masonic Powers
Kryvytskyi describes Rubio as a “brother of faith,” despite the Secretary’s public adherence to a sect condemned by Leo XIII as “contrary to natural law” (Humanum Genus, §13). The “bishop” emphasizes their shared opposition to communism while ignoring Rubio’s support for abortion rights and LGBTQ ideology – errors equally condemned by the perennial Magisterium. This selective outrage reveals the conciliar sect’s political utilitarianism over doctrinal consistency.
The meeting’s timing – days before the fourth anniversary of the Ukraine conflict – showcases the conciliar hierarchy’s modus operandi: exploiting human suffering to advance globalist narratives while suppressing calls for Christian restoration. Pius XI explicitly forbade such collusion: “When civil authority fails to recognize the kingship of Christ, it necessarily resorts to oppression and persecution” (Quas Primas, §24). Yet Kryvytskyi praises Rubio’s nightly prayers for Ukraine as if pagan invocations could substitute for the Regnum Christi (Kingdom of Christ) in national affairs.
Heretical Devotions and Psychological Manipulation
Kryvytskyi promotes the so-called “Divine Mercy Chaplet” – a devotion rooted in the false revelations of Faustyna Kowalska, whose writings were placed on the Index of Forbidden Books under Pius XII. This counterfeit spirituality replaces the Church’s traditional emphasis on divine justice with emotional sentimentality. The “bishop” admits the war makes Psalms “take on a different color,” implying Scripture’s meaning evolves with circumstances – a modernist error condemned in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (§26).
The article concludes with saccharine claims that suffering Ukrainians “learned to pray for the first time” through the conflict. This obscene glorification of war’s “spiritual benefits” ignores Catholicism’s uncompromising demand for pax Christi in regno Christi (the peace of Christ in the kingdom of Christ). Nowhere does Kryvytskyi call for Ukraine’s consecration to Christ the King or denounce Russia’s schismatic Orthodoxy – only vapid calls for “strength” and “hope” detached from doctrinal content.
Omission of the Church’s True Mission
Astonishingly absent from this political theater is any reference to:
- The necessity of the Social Reign of Christ the King (Quas Primas §19)
- Condemnation of Russia’s communist errors (Divini Redemptoris §24)
- Reparation for blasphemies against the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Pius XII, 1942 Consecration)
- Warnings against religious indifferentism (Mortalium Animos §10)
Kryvytskyi’s Salesian affiliation (SDB) proves particularly damning – the order founded by the modernist John Bosco, whose suspected ties to Masonry enabled the infiltration Pius X warned against in Pascendi (§40). This “bishop” epitomizes the conciliar church’s betrayal: reducing shepherds to NGO administrators while true Catholics suffer under both Russian bombs and Vatican-sanctioned apostasy.
