The Vatican’s UN Address: A Masterclass in Modernist Substitution of Naturalism for Supernatural Mission
EWTN News reports that on May 6, 2026, Monsignor Robert D. Murphy, interim chargé d’affaires of the Holy See’s Permanent Observer Mission to the United Nations, delivered a statement to the Second International Migration Review Forum in New York. Addressing the implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration (GCM), Murphy emphasized placing “human dignity at the center of migration policies,” rooted in “the Gospel and developed in Catholic social teaching.” His priorities included protecting migrants’ lives (stating this right “is never subordinated to any other interests”), family unity, and addressing the risks of technology like surveillance and “cyber-slavery.” He quoted the current antipope, Leo XIV, affirming migrants’ “inalienable rights,” and concluded that migration governance demands “solidarity, collective responsibility, and sustained efforts to ensure their protection and inclusion.” This address, while cloaked in religious language, epitomizes the post-conciliar neo-church’s reduction of the Faith to secular humanitarianism, systematically omitting the supernatural mission of the Church and the absolute primacy of the salvation of souls, thereby advancing a naturalistic agenda indistinguishable from that of any secular NGO.
