EWTN News reports that a Washington Nationals executive, Sean Hudson, was recorded claiming the team excludes pitcher Trevor Williams from activities due to his outspoken Catholic faith and criticism of the blasphemous “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.” This incident exposes the modernist inversion where defending Christ the King is punished as “discrimination,” while public blasphemy is celebrated as “inclusion.” The team’s response—denying the allegations while claiming a “welcoming and inclusive environment”—is a textbook example of the conciliar sect’s relativism, where the rights of God are subordinated to the idolatry of human autonomy. This is not merely a sports story; it is a symptom of the apostasy warned against by St. Pius X, where the enemies within seek to silence the faithful while the world mocks the sacred.
The Idolatry of “Inclusion” and the Silencing of the Faithful
The core of this incident lies in the fundamental conflict between the absolute truth of the Catholic faith and the relativistic demands of modern secularism. Trevor Williams, by publicly criticizing the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence”—a group that uses drag performances to mock the Blessed Virgin Mary and Christ—was exercising his duty as a Catholic to defend the honor of God. As Pius XI taught in *Quas Primas*, Christ’s reign encompasses all human society, and the faithful must publicly confess His royal dignity. Yet, in the modernist paradigm, this defense is reclassified as “exclusionary” or “intolerant,” while the active blasphemy against God is rebranded as “inclusion.”
The Washington Nationals’ statement is a masterpiece of modernist equivocation. They claim to be “dedicated to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment,” a phrase that, in the context of post-conciliar rhetoric, is code for a relativistic space where the objective truths of the faith are suppressed in favor of subjective “lived experiences.” By allegedly sidelining Williams for his “super Catholic” stance, the team demonstrates that their “inclusion” is conditional: it extends to those who mock the faith, but excludes those who profess it. This is the very definition of the indifferentism condemned by Pius IX in the *Syllabus of Errors*, where it is falsely claimed that “the civil liberty of every form of worship… conduce[s] more easily to [the] propagation of the pest of indifferentism” (Proposition 79).
The Blasphemy of the “Sisters” and the Duty of the Faithful
The specific catalyst for Williams’ marginalization was his defense of the faith against the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.” This group, which dresses in parodies of religious habits and uses sacred imagery in sexualized performances, represents the ultimate expression of the “cult of man” and the denial of the supernatural. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops correctly identified these displays as “blasphemy,” yet the structures occupying the Vatican have done nothing to sanction the Dodgers for honoring such a group. Instead, the faithful are punished for objecting.
Williams’ statement that “We cannot stand idly by while Our Lord gets mocked” is a direct application of the Catholic principle that charity does not require silence in the face of blasphemy. As St. Thomas Aquinas teaches, the virtue of religion demands that we give to God the honor that is His due, and this includes publicly defending His honor when it is attacked. The modernist inversion, however, treats the defense of God’s honor as a form of aggression, while the blasphemy itself is protected as “free expression.” This is the logical endpoint of the “religious freedom” condemned by Pius IX, where the state claims the authority to place all religions on the same level, thereby denying the unique truth of Catholicism.
The Modernist “Church” and the Betrayal of the Faithful
The response of the post-conciliar “Church” to incidents like this is invariably one of silence or complicity. While individual Catholics like Williams are left to face professional ruin for their faith, the conciliar sect continues to pursue its ecumenical and interreligious agenda, seeking approval from the very forces that mock Christ. The “U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops” may issue statements, but they lack the authority of the true Church, which, as Bellarmine teaches, cannot err in matters of faith and morals. These “bishops” are part of the “paramasonic structure” that has occupied the Vatican since the death of Pius XII, and their inaction in the face of blasphemy is a direct result of their modernist principles.
The *Lamentabili sane exitu* of St. Pius X condemned the modernist proposition that “the Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics, because it steadfastly adheres to its views, which cannot be reconciled with modern progress” (Proposition 63). This is precisely what we see today: the conciliar sect, having adopted the principles of modernism, is unable to defend the faith because it has surrendered to the spirit of the age. The “bishops” are more concerned with maintaining their positions within the secular order than with defending the honor of Christ the King.
The Theological Roots of Modernist Apostasy
To understand why a Catholic player is punished for defending the faith, one must understand the theological revolution that has taken place within the structures of the Catholic Church since 1958. The Second Vatican Council, with its documents on religious freedom (*Dignitatis Humanae*) and ecumenism (*Unitatis Redintegratio*), effectively denied the social reign of Christ the King and the duty of the state to profess the Catholic faith. This was a direct repudiation of the teaching of Pius XI in *Quas Primas*, who insisted that “rulers and governments have the duty to publicly honor Christ and obey Him.”
The modernist “Church” has replaced the supernatural mission of the Church—to lead souls to salvation through the preaching of the Gospel and the administration of the sacraments—with a naturalistic agenda of “dialogue” and “inclusion.” This is the “evolution of dogmas” condemned by Pius IX, where the immutable truths of the faith are reinterpreted to conform to the spirit of the times. The result is a “Church” that is incapable of defending the faith, because it no longer believes in the absolute truth of the Catholic religion.
The Duty of the Faithful in Times of Apostasy
In the face of this systemic apostasy, the duty of the faithful is clear: to profess the faith publicly and uncompromisingly, regardless of the consequences. Trevor Williams, by speaking out against the “Sisters,” has fulfilled this duty, even at the cost of his professional standing. His example stands in stark contrast to the cowardice of the conciliar “bishops,” who have betrayed the faith for the sake of worldly approval.
The true Church, as Bellarmine teaches, endures in the faithful who profess the integral Catholic faith and are led by bishops with valid sacraments and validly ordained priests. These faithful are not bound by the decrees of the conciliar sect, which, as the *Defense of Sedevacantism* argues, has lost its authority through heresy and apostasy. The duty of the faithful is to resist the modernist revolution and to uphold the immutable truths of the faith, even if it means suffering persecution from the world and betrayal from within the structures of the “Church.”
Conclusion: The Triumph of Christ the King
The marginalization of Trevor Williams is a microcosm of the larger battle between the City of God and the City of Man. The modernist world, with its idolatry of “inclusion” and “tolerance,” cannot tolerate the public profession of the Catholic faith, because that faith proclaims the absolute sovereignty of Christ the King over all nations and all aspects of life. The conciliar sect, having embraced the principles of modernism, has become an instrument of this worldly agenda, silencing the faithful and celebrating the blasphemers.
Yet, as Pius XI taught, the reign of Christ cannot be defeated. “In the end, His Immaculate Heart will triumph”—not the false promises of Fatima, which have been co-opted by the modernists, but the certain triumph of Christ over all His enemies. The faithful must take heart from the example of Williams and others who have suffered for the faith, knowing that their witness is a participation in the sufferings of Christ and a pledge of eternal victory. As St. Paul writes, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31). The modernists may sideline the faithful for a time, but they cannot prevail against the truth of Christ the King.
