When the “Church” Cries for Police Protection Instead of Preaching Repentance
The article from EWTN News (June 18, 2026) reports that Catholic priests in the Archdiocese of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo have raised alarm over what they describe as a worsening wave of insecurity targeting ecclesial institutions. The priests condemned attacks on churches, the killing of a security guard at St. Francis de Sales Parish, assaults on Church personnel at St. Agnes Parish in Ndjili and St. Théophile Parish in Kimbanseke, and acts of vandalism and desecration of sacred spaces. They called upon state authorities to guarantee safety, demanded investigations, and appealed for strengthened cooperation between security services and local leaders. While expressing solidarity with victims, they reaffirmed the “Church’s” commitment to peace-building and prayed for divine protection. This is a textbook example of the conciliar neo-church’s abdication of its supernatural mission in favor of naturalistic whining for secular protection, reducing the Mystical Body of Christ to just another NGO begging the state for security.
