Marian Devotion as Political Pageantry in the Conciliar Sect
EWTN News reports that Costa Rica’s new president, Laura Virginia Fernández Delgado, began her administration on May 8 by laying her presidential sash before an image of Our Lady of the Angels, attending a Mass celebrated by Bishop Javier Román of Limón, who prayed for “wisdom,” “prudence,” and “clarity” while invoking national unity and the well-being of the people. What superficially resembles an act of Catholic piety is, upon examination, yet another manifestation of the conciliar sect’s reduction of the Faith to naturalistic humanitarianism, where Marian devotion serves as ceremonial decoration for a political regime that operates entirely within the framework of liberal democracy, stripped of any acknowledgment of Christ the King’s social reign, the reality of sin, the necessity of the sacraments, or the supernatural end of human society.
