Nigeria’s Bloodshed Exposes Conciliar Sect’s Naturalistic Impotence
EWTN News reports (February 10, 2026) that officials of the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria (CSN) condemned recent massacres killing over 160 civilians, demanding government security reforms and adherence to international human rights treaties. CSN Secretary-General Michael Banjo and Communications Director Michael Nsikak Umoh decried Nigeria becoming “a field of grief” through “massacres allowed by silence,” urging politicians to fulfill constitutional obligations and compensate victims. Their statement “The Cry of the Innocent: Stop This Slaughterhouse in Nigeria!” invoked the Universal Declaration of Human Rights while pleading for national unity against violence.
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Order
The CSN’s demands exemplify the conciliar sect’s betrayal of Catholic integralism. Nowhere do these “officials” identify Nigeria’s crisis as divine chastisement for national apostasy or call for public consecration to Christ the King. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) declares: “Nations will be reminded by the annual celebration of this feast that not only private individuals but also rulers and princes are bound to give public honor and obedience to Christ” (§32). By reducing governance to secular constitutionalism and UN treaties, the CSN rejects Regnum Christi—the only foundation for true peace.
Human Rights Idolatry Masks Spiritual Bankruptcy
The CSN’s appeal to “Universal Declaration of Human Rights” constitutes blasphemous substitution of natural law for divine revelation. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors condemns as heresy the notion that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Proposition 55). Yet the CSN embraces this error by demanding protection through secular legal frameworks rather than demanding Nigeria’s submission to the Social Reign of Christ. Saint Augustine’s City of God (Book XIX, Chapter 17) reminds us: “Without justice, what are kingdoms but great bands of robbers?”—a truth these “officials” ignore while lamenting violence.
Omission of Sacramental Remedies Condemns Souls
Not once do Banjo and Umoh prescribe the only solution to societal collapse: nationwide Eucharistic reparation, daily Rosary, and mandatory abstinence to appease God’s justice. This silence proves their Modernist roots. The Holy Office under St. Pius X decreed in Lamentabili Sane (1907) that Modernists “place the origin of faith in some impulse of sentiment or action of will devoid of any intellectual basis” (Proposition 25)—exactly manifested here by reducing religion to psychosocial victim support. Where is the call for missionary crusades to convert Nigeria’s 53% Muslim population? Where the demand to outlaw Mohammedan blasphemy? The CSN’s naturalistic humanitarianism mocks the martyrs of Uganda and Sudan who died proclaiming Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus.
Symptom of Conciliar Apostasy
These “officials” operate within the counterfeit church erected after 1958, which abandoned the mandatum Dei to “teach all nations” (Matthew 28:19). Their statement exemplifies Paul VI’s heresy that “the Church’s mission is not political but religious” (Octogesima Adveniens §46)—directly contradicting Pius XI’s teaching that “the empire of our Redeemer embraces all men…so that the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ” (Quas Primas §13). By pleading with a secular state rather than commanding in Christ’s name, the CSN confirms the conciliar sect’s illegitimacy. True shepherds would echo St. John Chrysostom: “It is not possible for one who is in love with worldly glory to rule the Church of God” (Homily 50 on Matthew)—a rebuke to “Fathers” obsessed with press conferences over sacrificial witness.
Conclusion: Only Tradition Restores Order
Nigeria’s bloodshed flows inevitably from the Vatican II revolution’s dismantling of Christ’s Social Kingship. Until Nigerians reject the conciliar sect and return to the integral Catholic faith—with its uncompromising demand for the conversio imperii—no military strategy or “psychosocial care” will halt the slaughter. As Archbishop Lefebvre warned: “The only solution is the restoration of the Social Reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ” (Open Letter to Confused Catholics, 1986). May Nigeria’s suffering awaken faithful remnants to rebuild Christendom against the Modernist occupiers of Rome.
