Pakistani Bishops at the Vatican: A Diplomatic Charade Masking the Bankruptcy of Conciliar Ecclesiology
Vatican News portal reports on May 15, 2026, that during the ad limina visit of Pakistani bishops to the Vatican, Bishop Samson Shukardin, President of the Pakistan Catholic Bishops’ Conference and Bishop of Hyderabad, spoke of “hope” and “encouragement” while outlining challenges like discrimination, blasphemy accusations, and forced conversions faced by Christians in Pakistan. This orchestrated display of diplomatic niceties between the conciliar structures and persecuted communities tragically exposes the utter impotence and theological bankruptcy of the post-conciliar “Church” in fulfilling its divine mandate to defend the Faith and the faithful.
