Vatican News, the official propaganda organ of the conciliar sect occupying the Vatican, reports on 13 July 2026 that the “Bishop” of Oyo, Emmanuel Adetoyese Badejo, expressed “immense relief” at the rescue of 39 schoolchildren and five teachers abducted by the Islamic terrorist group Ansaru in Nigeria’s Oyo State. The “prelate” thanked “God Almighty” but directed his most effusive gratitude toward the Muslim President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the secular Governor Seyi Makinde, the military, the media, and those who “prayed, pressured and fasted” — a deliberately vague formulation indistinguishable from interreligious indifferentism. He mourned the soldiers who died, called for greater “collaboration” between “government and citizens” to “secure our lives and property,” and noted the provision of “medical evaluations, treatment and psychological support” for the victims. The article is a textbook illustration of the conciliar sect’s reduction of the Church’s divine mission to a mere humanitarian NGO chaplaincy for the secular state, utterly silent on the Social Kingship of Christ, the necessity of the Catholic Faith for salvation, the spiritual peril of Islam, and the duty of the State to profess the true religion.
The Naturalistic Reduction of the Episcopate to Civil Chaplaincy
The cited report reveals the utter bankruptcy of the conciliar “episcopate.” One searches in vain for a single supernatural reference: no mention of the Salus animarum suprema lex (the salvation of souls is the supreme law), no invocation of Christ the King whose rights over Nigeria — as over all nations — are absolute and inalienable (Quas Primas, 1925), no warning that the abductors are agents of a false religion (Mahometanism) that leads souls to damnation, no call for the conversion of Nigeria to the one true Faith, no reference to the Sacraments as the sole ordinary channels of grace for the traumatized victims. Instead, the “Bishop” functions as a spokesman for the Nigerian federal government, praising the Muslim President and the secular Governor as the primary agents of the rescue. This is not the voice of a successor of the Apostles, commissioned to teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matt. 28:19); it is the voice of a functionary of the City of Man, perfectly integrated into the Masonic project of a “universal brotherhood” devoid of the Fatherhood of God.
Pius XI, in Quas Primas, thundered: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states and when authority was derived not from God but from men, the foundations of that authority were destroyed, because the main reason why some have the right to command and others have the duty to obey was removed.” The “Bishop” Badejo, by celebrating the secular state’s military action as the summit of providence, implicitly endorses the very laicism Pius XI condemned as the “plague of our times, so-called laicism.” He thanks the authorities for doing their natural duty — protecting citizens — while neglecting his own supernatural duty: reminding them that their authority comes from God and must be exercised in conformity with His Law, beginning with the public profession of the Catholic Faith (Syllabus Errorum, Props. 19, 21, 55, 77).
Indifferentism and the “Prayer and Fasting” Equivocation
The phrase “everybody who prayed, pressured and fasted for this joyful purpose” is a calculated ambiguity characteristic of the conciliar sect’s false ecumenism. In a nation riven by Islamic jihad, where the abductors are explicitly identified as Ansaru (an Al-Qaeda affiliate), “everybody who prayed” necessarily includes Muslims praying to Allah for the success of their co-religionists’ release — or perhaps for the success of the military operation against them. The “Bishop” places Catholic prayer, Islamic prayer, and secular “pressure” on the same level as efficacious causes of the rescue. This is the condemned proposition of indifferentism: “Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation” (Pius IX, Syllabus, Prop. 16; cf. Quanta Cura, 1864). By refusing to distinguish the prayer of the Church (Oratio Ecclesiae) from the prayer of heretics and infidels, the “Bishop” denies the unique mediation of Christ (Unus mediator Dei et hominum, homo Christus Jesus, 1 Tim. 2:5) and the necessity of the Church for salvation (Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus).
St. Pius X, in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907), identified the Modernist root of this error: the reduction of religion to a vague “religious sense” or “vital immanence,” where all creeds are merely symbolic expressions of a common human aspiration. The “Bishop’s” language is not Catholic; it is the language of the parliament of religions, the Masonic synagogue condemned by Leo XIII in Humanum Genus (1884).
Silence on the Spiritual Peril of the Victims and the Demonic Nature of the Enemy
Fifty-six days in the hands of Ansaru — a group dedicated to the establishment of an Islamic Caliphate and the destruction of the Church — is not merely a “harrowing experience” requiring “psychological support.” It is a spiritual battlefield. The victims, many of them children, faced the imminent danger of forced conversion to Islam, apostasy, and the loss of the Faith — the only evil that is truly infinite (malum infinitum). The “Bishop” speaks of “rehabilitation” and “medical evaluations” but utters not a word about the Sacrament of Penance, the Holy Eucharist, Exorcism, or the need for spiritual direction to repair the damage to the soul. He treats the abductees as psychological trauma cases, not as souls redeemed by the Blood of Christ (1 Pet. 1:18-19) who have been assaulted by the gates of hell.
Furthermore, the enemy is not merely a “terrorist group” but a manifestation of the mystery of iniquity (2 Thess. 2:7) operating through the false prophet Muhammad. The Syllabus of Pius IX condemns the proposition: “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Prop. 18); a fortiori, Islam — which denies the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Redemption, and the Divinity of Christ — is a diabolical counterfeit. A true bishop would name the spiritual reality: Portae inferi non praevalebunt (Matt. 16:18), but only if the shepherds actually fight. This “bishop” surrenders the field to the psychiatrist and the social worker.
The “Bishop” as Usurper: Invalidity of the Conciliar Hierarchy
It must be stated with absolute clarity: Emmanuel Adetoyese Badejo is not a Catholic bishop. He is a “bishop” of the conciliar sect, consecrated in the post-1968 Pontificale Romanum of Paul VI (Montini), a rite stripped of the essential form and intention for the transmission of the fullness of the priesthood (Sacramentum Ordinis, Pius XII, 1947, requires the traditio instrumentorum with the words “Accipe Spiritum Sanctum…” for the episcopate; the new rite substitutes a vague “episcopal consecration” prayer). Even if the matter and form were minimally sufficient, jurisdiction — the power to govern — requires canonical mission from the Roman Pontiff. Since the See of Peter has been vacant since the death of Pius XII (1958) — the line of claimants (John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, Francis, Leo XIV/Prevost) being manifest heretics who, by the very fact of their public heresy (ipso facto), lost all jurisdiction and membership in the Church (St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice; Cum ex Apostolatus Officio, Paul IV; Canon 188.4, 1917 Code) — no valid mission can exist. The “Bishop” Badejo is therefore a layman in episcopal vestments, exercising a usurped authority over souls he has no power to bind or loose. His “diocese” is a fiction of the neo-church; his “faithful” are sheep without a true shepherd, scattered by the wolf in mitre.
Collaboration with the Secular State: The Inversion of the Two Powers
The “Bishop’s” appeal — “May this ugly episode serve as a wake-up call to all of us, the government and citizens, to collaborate more and do our utmost to secure our lives and property together” — inverts the divinely ordained hierarchy of the two powers. Gelasius I taught: Duo sunt, imperator, quibus principaliter mundus hic regitur: auctoritas sacra pontificum et regia potestas (Two there are, Emperor, by which this world is principally ruled: the sacred authority of pontiffs and the royal power). The spiritual power is higher; it judges the temporal. The “Bishop” here petitions the temporal power (the Muslim President, the secular Governor) as an equal partner in a secular project (“securing lives and property”). He does not command in the name of Christ the King; he collaborates in the name of “Nigeria.”
This is the precise error condemned by Pius IX: “The Church is not a true and perfect society, entirely free… but it appertains to the civil power to define what are the rights of the Church” (Syllabus, Prop. 19). By begging the State for security instead of demanding the State’s submission to Christ the King, the “Bishop” ratifies the secularist dogma that the State is the source of all rights (Syllabus, Prop. 39). He acts as a chaplain to the Masonic Republic, not as a Prince of the Church.
Symptomatic Level: The Conciliar Sect as the “Abomination of Desolation” in Nigeria
This report is not an anomaly; it is the modus operandi of the conciliar sect globally. In Nigeria, where the Church once produced martyrs and confessors, the conciliar hierarchy now presides over the managed decline of the Faith. The “Bishop” Badejo’s statement could have been issued by the UNICEF representative or the Red Cross. The lex orandi, lex credendi has been replaced by lex ONGi, lex credendi. The sect’s “bishops” are selected precisely for their willingness to implement the Masonic agenda: religious liberty (indifferentism), inculturation (syncretism with paganism/Islam), and the “preferential option for the poor” (Marxist liberation theology disguised as charity).
The silence on Fatima (a Masonic psychological operation, as documented), on the Kingship of Christ, on the necessity of Baptism for salvation (the unborn child of the Ulma family, “canonized” by the antipope Bergoglio, died unbaptized — proving the sect’s denial of Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus), on the invalidity of the Novus Ordo Missae (a Protestantized “supper” fabricated by the Freemason Bugnini) — this silence is the roar of the conciliar apostasy. The “rescue” in Oyo is hailed as a triumph; in reality, it is a testament to the fact that the conciliar sect has nothing supernatural to offer. It offers only what the world already offers: security, psychology, humanitarian aid. It has buried the talent in the ground (Matt. 25:18).
Conclusion: The Duty of the True Faithful
The faithful in Nigeria — and everywhere — must recognize that the structures occupying the cathedrals, wearing the mitres, and speaking on “Vatican News” are the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:15). They are the Church of the New Advent, the paramasonic structure foretold by the prophets of the true Tradition. There is no salvation in collaboration with them. The true Church of Christ subsists in the remnant who keep the Faith entire, the Mass of the Ages (Tridentine), and the rejection of all conciliar novelties. Let the Catholics of Nigeria flee the “diocese” of Oyo as they would flee a plague, seeking out the true priests — validly ordained in the old rite, holding the true Faith, una cum the true Pope (sedevacantist resistance) — who alone can give them the Bread of Life and the sure guidance to heaven. Non praevalebunt — but they will prevail only in the ruins of the visible structures if the faithful do not separate themselves from the synagogue of Satan (Apoc. 2:9; 3:9) that now sits in the place of the Sanctuary.
