US Bishops’ Immigration Statement Exposes Post-Conciliar Apostasy
The Vatican News portal (November 13, 2025) reports on a “Special Message” issued by the US “Bishops’ Conference,” claiming solidarity with immigrants and demanding “meaningful reform” of US immigration laws. Approved by 97% of voting “bishops,” the document invokes “human dignity” while omitting the Church’s immutable teaching on nations’ rights, the primacy of supernatural order, and the duty to uphold Christ’s social kingship. This marks yet another betrayal of Catholic truth by the conciliar sect’s clerical apparatus.
Naturalism Masquerading as Charity
The statement’s central error lies in its reduction of Catholic social doctrine to sentimental humanitarianism. By asserting that “human dignity and national security are not in conflict” while demanding “safe and legal pathways” for migrants, the “bishops” invert the natural law hierarchy. Pius XII’s Exsul Familia (1952) explicitly teaches:
“The right of the State to control immigration does not conflict with charity, provided the State respects the divine law safeguarding human dignity.”
Contrast this with the “bishops’” silence on nations’ God-given right to reject migrants who threaten cultural cohesion or public order—a right affirmed by Leo XIII in Rerum Novarum (§37) and Pius XII’s Summi Pontificatus (§68). Their emphasis on immigrants’ “fear and anxiety” while ignoring citizens’ legitimate concerns reveals a Marxist-inspired class warfare mentality.
Omission of the Supernatural: A Heretical Silence
Nowhere does the document mention migrants’ state of grace, obligation to abandon false religions, or the Church’s duty to evangelize. This omission exposes the conciliar sect’s apostasy. Pius XI’s Quas Primas (§18) 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.”
Instead, the “bishops” parrot UN-style globalist rhetoric, reducing the Church to an NGO. Their call to “love as He has loved us” grotesquely distorts Christ’s command, divorcing charity from truth. As the Council of Trent (Session VI, Canon 21) anathematizes those who claim love supersedes doctrinal fidelity, these false shepherds implicitly deny the necessity of conversion for salvation (Acts 4:12).
Seditious Rhetoric Against Lawful Authority
The document’s condemnation of “indiscriminate mass deportations” and “dehumanizing rhetoric” constitutes rebellion against Romans 13:1-7. St. Robert Bellarmine states:
“Subjects must obey princes in all things not contrary to divine law, even if they act unjustly, for God permits evil rulers to punish peoples’ sins” (De Laicis, Ch. 6).
By framing border enforcement as inherently oppressive, the “bishops” side with anarchic globalism against the common good—a concept their document mentions only once, stripped of its Thomistic meaning. Their 97% approval rating proves the US hierarchy is a spiritually bankrupt cabal.
Conclusion: Sheep Without Shepherds
This “Special Message” exemplifies the conciliar sect’s abandonment of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus. True Catholic migrants flee not earthly hardship but eternal damnation—a reality these hirelings ignore. As St. Augustine warns:
“They are treacherous physicians who apply sweet ointments to wounds when they ought to use the knife” (Letters, 93:2).
Until these “bishops” renounce Vatican II’s religious liberty heresy (condemned by Pius IX’s Syllabus, Errors 15-18) and demand migrants’ conversion to the One True Faith, their words serve Satan. Let faithful Catholics heed Pius X’s warning:
“The true friends of the people are neither revolutionaries nor innovators, but traditionalists” (Notre Charge Apostolique, 1910).
