Conciliar Sect’s Naturalist Response to Minneapolis Crisis Exposes Doctrinal Bankruptcy
EWTN News reports (January 26, 2026) on statements from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and Minnesota Catholic Conference regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minneapolis that resulted in civilian fatalities. The conciliar sect’s functionaries, including Archbishop Paul S. Coakley and Cardinal Joseph Tobin, issued calls for “calm” and “restraint” while quoting antipope Leo XIV’s Angelus remarks about “fraternity and peace.” The Minnesota Catholic Conference joined interfaith groups in an open letter advocating for reduced immigration enforcement and promoted a fundraising campaign for parishes providing assistance to undocumented immigrants. Seattle Archbishop Paul D. Etienne concurrently released a pastoral letter vaguely referencing “well-ordered society” while omitting any mention of Christ’s Social Kingship.
