Detroit’s Embrace of Conciliar Sect’s “Cardinal” Pizzaballa: A Betrayal of Catholic Mission
The Catholic News Agency portal (November 17, 2025) reports on the planned December visit of “Cardinal” Pierbattista Pizzaballa to Detroit, where the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem will fundraise for “humanitarian efforts” in the Holy Land. “Archbishop” Edward Weisenburger praises Pizzaballa’s “courageous witness,” while the article frames Christians in Israel and Palestine as a persecuted minority requiring financial solidarity to maintain holy sites. The visit includes a fundraiser dinner hosted by the Chaldean Eparchy and a Mass at the National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica.
Illegitimacy of Conciliar Sect’s Representatives
The very notion of a “Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem” holding ecclesiastical authority is a modernist fabrication. While Pius IX reestablished the patriarchate in 1847 as a missionary structure for the conversion of non-Catholics, the post-conciliar sect has transformed it into an ecumenical NGO. Pizzaballa’s 2023 “elevation” by antipope Bergoglio carries zero canonical validity, as the true papal throne has been vacant since Pius XII’s death. As St. Robert Bellarmine states in De Romano Pontifice: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope” – a principle applying equally to those pretending to exercise jurisdiction under false authority. The Detroit “archdiocese” thereby commits sacrilege by inviting a representative of the paramasonic structure occupying the Vatican to celebrate counterfeit sacraments.
Sacrilegious Reduction of the Church to Humanitarian NGO
The article’s repeated emphasis on “humanitarian outreach” and “dire situation” exposes the conciliar sect’s abandonment of the Church’s divine mission. Nowhere does Weisenburger mention the salvation of souls or conversion of Muslims and Jews – the very purpose for which missionaries like St. Francis Xavier spilled their blood. Contrast this with Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas: “The Church cannot neglect… the duty entrusted to her by God to lead all men to the truth” (1925). Instead, the Detroit event reduces Catholicism to social work – precisely the naturalism condemned in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907). The scandal doubles when Eastern-rite schismatics (Chaldean Eparchy) host this fundraiser, confirming the conciliar sect’s promotion of religious indifferentism.
Silence on Apostate Hierarchy’s Collusion With Islam
Not a single word addresses the conciliar sect’s ongoing betrayal of Middle Eastern Catholics through its heretical “Human Fraternity” document. While Pizzaballa begs for alms, his masters in Rome fund mosque constructions and call Allah “merciful” – a direct violation of the Syllabus of Errors: “It is false that the Roman Pontiff can reconcile himself with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” (Proposition 80). The article’s claim that Christians face “persecution” rings hollow when the conciliar hierarchy refuses to denounce Islam’s intrinsic violence against non-Muslims. True Catholics remember Pius V’s excommunication of Venice’s Senate for trading with Turks – not funding their enemies while bowing in Abu Dhabi mosques.
Protestantized “Mass” as Final Insult
The blasphemy culminates in Pizzaballa’s planned celebration of the Novus Ordo Missae at Royal Oak’s “basilica.” This table service – fabricated by Annibale Bugnini’s Masonic committee – constitutes simulated worship according to Cardinal Ottaviani’s 1969 Intervention. The Detroit “archdiocese” compounds this sacrilege by hosting it in a church named after St. Thérèse of Lisieux – whose Little Way required fidelity to Tradition, not betrayal. As the Council of Trent anathematizes: “If anyone says the Mass ought not to be celebrated in Latin… let him be anathema” (Session XXII, Canon 9). That this abomination occurs under the guise of “solidarity” reveals the depth of apostasy.
Omission of True Solution: Restoration of Christ’s Kingship
The entire article breathes the spirit of naturalistic despair rather than supernatural hope. No mention is made of consecrating Middle Eastern nations to Christ the King or demanding their rulers submit to Rome. Pius XI’s prescription remains unheeded: “When once men recognize… that Christ has received all power in heaven and on earth, and that… nations are happy… in proportion as they obey faithfully His commands” (Quas Primas). Instead, the conciliar sect peddles a Gnostic “spirituality” divorced from the Social Reign of Christ – precisely the modernist heresy condemned in Lamentabili Sane (Proposition 65). Detroit’s faithful are thereby robbed of true charity: not coins for ecumenism, but the uncompromised Faith that converts nations.
