USCCB Election Exposes Conciliar Sect’s Capitulation to Modernism
Catholic News Agency portal (November 11, 2025) reports the election of “Archbishop” Paul Coakley as president and “Bishop” Daniel Flores as vice-president of the United States Conference of “Catholic” Bishops (USCCB). The article praises Coakley’s supposed “defense of a culture of life” while noting his criticism of border enforcement and death penalty opposition. Flores is described as promoting “synodality” while equating immigration enforcement with “intrinsic evil.” This bureaucratic exercise in a heretical pseudo-ecclesial structure demonstrates the conciliar sect’s complete abandonment of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (no salvation outside the Church) for modernist political posturing.
Illegitimate Elections in a Schismatic Structure
The very concept of bishops “electing” leaders through democratic processes constitutes heresy against hierarchical constitution of Christ’s Church. As Pius VI condemned in Auctorem Fidei (1794): “The proposition which establishes the power of the Church… as derived from the consent of the multitude is heretical.” The USCCB – created after Vatican II’s revolutionary ecclesiology – operates as a nationalized parallel church rejecting the supreme authority of Roman Pontiff while maintaining the facade of Catholicism. Their elections hold no canonical validity, being conducted under the illegitimate 1983 Code of Canon Law rather than the 1917 Codex Iuris Canonici.
False “Pro-Life” Posturing Conceals Doctrinal Bankruptcy
The article’s claim that Coakley “has a history of promoting a culture of life” collapses under scrutiny. While paying lip service to opposing abortion, the conciliar sect’s USCCB under previous president Broglio promoted the heretical “consistent life ethic” – equating abortion restrictions with immigration permissiveness. This violates Pius XI’s teaching in Quas Primas: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony.”
Coakley stated: “The use of the death penalty only contributes to the continued coarsening of society”
This directly contradicts Romans 13:4 where civil authority is called “God’s servant, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.” The Church has always taught the state’s right to execute criminals as defense of the common good, as affirmed by Innocent III (Professio fidei Waldensibus praescripta) and Pius XII (Address to Catholic Jurists, 1955).
Flores’ Heretical Equivalence Between Deportation and Abortion
The newly elected vice-president Flores previously declared border enforcement “formal cooperation with intrinsic evil” – blasphemously equating deportation with abortion. This inversion of moral theology stems from the conciliar sect’s embrace of modernist subjectivism. As the Holy Office decreed under Pius X (Lamentabili, Proposition 58): “Truth changes with man, because it develops with him, in him, and through him.” The true Church maintains with Pius IX (Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 62) that “the principle of non-intervention, as it is called, ought to be proclaimed and observed” is condemned.
Synodality as Vehicle for Doctrinal Devolution
The article notes Flores’ role in promoting the “Synod on Synodality” – a revolutionary process seeking to dismantle hierarchical authority. This implements the condemned modernist principle that “the Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics” (Lamentabili, Proposition 63). True shepherds follow Pius IX’s condemnation: “The Roman pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Syllabus, Proposition 80).
Omission of Supernatural Mission for Naturalist Activism
Nowhere does the article mention the bishops’ duty to combat doctrinal errors, restore sacramental integrity, or save souls from hell. Their entire platform focuses on temporal political issues, fulfilling Pius X’s warning in Pascendi that modernists reduce religion to “a certain kind of longing for the indeterminate divinity.” While Coakley pays lip service to opposing gender ideology, he fails to declare transgenderism intrinsically evil or warn that those promoting it risk eternal damnation – a silence revealing apostasy from Catholic truth.
