The Crucifix Desecration and the Idolatry of Military Power: A Symptom of the Conciliar Sect’s Spiritual Bankruptcy
EWTN News portal reports that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) helped replace a damaged crucifix in the southern Lebanese Christian village of Debl after one of its soldiers destroyed it with a sledgehammer. Two soldiers involved will receive 30 days of military detention, Israeli authorities said. The incident, which drew condemnation from Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem, who called the act “a grave affront to the Christian faith,” reveals not merely a disciplinary failure but the profound spiritual decay of a world that has abandoned the integral Catholic faith. The conciliar sect’s response—replacing a statue while ignoring the deeper apostasy—epitomizes the modernist substitution of external gestures for true supernatural reverence.
