Another Neo-Church Appointment Exposes Vatican’s Apostate Trajectory
The VaticanNews portal (November 10, 2025) announces the appointment of Edward Daniang Daleng, O.S.A., as vice regent of the “Pontifical Household” by antipope Leo XIV. The Nigerian “priest” allegedly holds a doctorate from the Alphonsian Academy (2012) and previously served as “General Counsellor and Procurator General” for the Augustinian order. The article highlights Daleng’s claims about antipope Leo XIV’s “special bond” with Africa, asserting he “has Africa in his heart” after multiple visits to Nigeria.
Illegitimate Authority in Occupied Vatican Structures
This appointment exemplifies the ex sese non valet (invalid by its very nature) principle governing all post-conciliar acts. The so-called “Pontifical Household” lacks legitimacy, as Pius XII’s Vacantis Apostolicae Sedis (1945) declares all Roman Curia offices vacant upon a pope’s death. The usurpers occupying Vatican structures since 1958 possess no jurisdiction, rendering Daleng’s appointment canonically null. As St. Robert Bellarmine establishes in De Romano Pontifice: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope,” and by extension, cannot validly appoint ecclesiastical officials.
Theological Corruption in Formation
Daleng’s alleged formation at the Alphonsian Academy – an incubator of moral relativism condemned in Pius XII’s Humani Generis (1950) – reveals the neo-church’s doctrinal bankruptcy. The Academy’s rejection of Gratia non tollit naturam (Grace does not destroy nature) has produced generations of clergy denying absolute moral norms. Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925) warned that when Christ’s reign is rejected, “the entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable foundation.” This appointment institutionalizes such shaking by elevating a product of modernist theological education.
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Mission
The article’s emphasis on antipope Leo XIV’s African travels exposes the conciliar sect’s anthropological turn. Contrast this with Pius XI’s teaching in Quas Primas: “Christ’s kingdom is primarily spiritual and relates mainly to spiritual matters.” The neo-church replaces the salus animarum (salvation of souls) with geopolitical considerations, exemplified by Daleng’s statement: “He has Africa in his heart.” Such naturalistic rhetoric directly contravenes the Syllabus of Errors’ condemnation of proposition 64: “The progress of sciences requires a reform of Christian doctrine.”
Erosion of Ecclesiastical Discipline
Daleng’s alleged ordination (2005) occurred under the invalid Pontificalis Romani rites, as declared by the Catholic Encyclopedia (1913): “Any substantial alteration of the sacramental form renders the sacrament null.” The article’s silence about his sacramental validity demonstrates the neo-church’s systematic destruction of holy orders. Pius XII’s Sacramentum Ordinis (1947) definitively established the essential rite, which Paul VI’s innovators destroyed. Thus, Daleng’s “ministry” represents not Catholic priesthood but a Protestantized clericalism.
Silence as Dogmatic Heresy
The portal’s complete omission of Daleng’s theological positions speaks volumes. According to the Holy Office’s Lamentabili Sane (1907), proposition 22 condemns those claiming “dogmas are not truths of divine origin but interpretations of religious facts.” By celebrating appointments based on geographic identity rather than doctrinal fidelity, the neo-church implicitly endorses this modernist error. The true Church follows St. Vincent of Lerins’ Commonitorium: “quod ubique, quod semper, quod ab omnibus creditum est” (what has been believed everywhere, always, by all).
Conclusion: Apostasy Institutionalized
This appointment typifies the conciliar sect’s modus operandi: replace divine authority with human bureaucracy, supernatural faith with natural sentiment, and apostolic succession with managerial delegation. As Our Lord warned: “Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up” (Matthew 15:13). Until the Vatican structures return to professing the integral Catholic faith under a valid Roman Pontiff, all such appointments remain but “whitewashed tombs” (Matthew 23:27) of ecclesiastical decomposition.
