Vatican News Promotes Secular Democracy Over Christ’s Kingship in Iraq Elections
Vatican News (November 11, 2025) reports on Iraq’s parliamentary elections under a new voting system, framing them as a “test” for implementing a “national agenda” influenced by foreign powers. The article emphasizes procedural details—proportional representation, geopolitical rivalries (U.S., Iran, Turkey), and the absence of Muqtada al-Sadr’s movement—while ignoring the systematic annihilation of Iraq’s Christian population and the theological bankruptcy of reducing governance to human machinations. This report exemplifies the conciliar sect’s surrender to naturalism, treating nations as mere playgrounds for worldly power struggles rather than territories demanding Christ’s reign.
The Abandonment of Catholic Social Doctrine
The article declares these elections “the most important for Iraq since 2003,” yet suppresses the Church’s immutable teaching: “There is no true authority save from God” (Romans 13:1). Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) condemns such secularism, stating nations reject peace by refusing to recognize Christ’s sovereignty: “When once men recognize… that Christ is King… society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace, and harmony” (§19). Vatican News, however, glorifies a system where “the best-organized coalitions” vie for power—a direct violation of Leo XIII’s warning that separating civil authority from divine law breeds societal collapse (Immortale Dei, 1885).
The silence on Iraq’s decimated Christian minority—reduced from 1.5 million to 150,000 since 2003—exposes the report’s complicity in religious genocide. Not a word condemns the Islamic persecution driving this exodus, nor does it urge Catholic voters to demand Christocentric governance. Instead, the piece reduces “representation” to a mathematical exercise, ignoring that no electoral system can legitimize regimes hostile to the True Faith.
Geopolitical Idolatry and the Heresy of Religious Indifference
Vatican News frames Iraq as a “crossroads of U.S. and Iranian influence,” reducing moral analysis to power dynamics. This reflects Modernism’s rejection of supernatural truth, condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili (1907): “Revelation could be nothing else than the consciousness acquired by man of his relation to God” (Proposition 20). By treating Iran’s Shiite theocracy and Turkey’s secular ambitions as morally equivalent forces, the report implicitly endorses religious indifferentism—a heresy anathematized by Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos (1832).
The article praises the “civic, non-sectarian Tishrin movement” for rejecting “sectarian blocs,” implying that neutrality toward religion fosters unity. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864) demolishes this lie: “In the present day, it is no longer expedient that the Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of the State” (Proposition 77) is condemned as an “error.” True harmony arises only when states submit to Christ’s law, not when they exile God from public life.
Symptomatic Apostasy of the Conciliar Sect
This report’s omissions and emphases betray the Vatican II sect’s apostasy. By fixating on “infrastructure projects” like oil pipelines while ignoring the martyrdom of Christians, Vatican News prioritizes material progress over souls—a hallmark of the “cult of man” denounced in Pius XII’s Humani Generis (1950). Its celebration of “new generational actors” echoes the revolutionary spirit of 1789, which Pius VI condemned for substituting divine authority with popular whim.
The very platform publishing this article—Vatican News—is an organ of the counterfeit church occupying Rome. Its reporters, masquerading as Catholic journalists, propagate the same naturalism that fuels Freemasonic assaults on Christ’s Kingship. As St. Pius X warned: “The enemies of the Church… are to be sought less among the masses than among the leaders of science and journalism” (Editae Saepe, 1910).
Conclusion: A Call to Reject Democratic Idolatry
Iraq’s elections, like all human governance divorced from Christ, are a pantomime of legitimacy. The Church teaches that civil authority must serve God’s glory and the salvation of souls—not broker compromises between pagan ideologies. Until Iraq’s leaders kneel before the Cross and enact laws conforming to Catholic morality, no electoral reform can heal its wounds. Let the faithful recall Pius XI’s mandate: “When nations… will meekly bow to the law of Christ… then at last will they enjoy prosperity, order, and true peace” (Quas Primas §21). To treat voting as a substitute for conversion is to collaborate in the world’s enslavement to error.
