Marco Rubio’s “Catholic America”: A Naturalistic Hallmark of the Conciliar Sect’s False Patriotism
The National Catholic Register portal published on May 12, 2026, a transcript of remarks delivered virtually on April 9, 2026, by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio at a conference titled “Endowed by Their Creator: Catholicism, the Declaration of Independence, and the American Experiment at 250,” organized by The Catholic University of America and the University of Notre Dame. Rubio’s address attempts to weave Catholic history into the fabric of the American founding, praising the “Catholic faith” as integral to the nation’s story, from Columbus to the Revolution, and celebrating the “American experiment” as a testament to “eternal truth.” He quotes Pope Leo XIII’s 1895 encyclical and emphasizes the role of Catholic explorers, soldiers, and pioneers in shaping the nation, concluding that “to look upon the history of this golden land is to see the face of God.” This speech, delivered by a high-ranking official of a secular republic occupying a position of global power, is a textbook example of the post-conciliar neo-church’s systematic reduction of the Faith to a mere cultural and civilizational accessory of a liberal political order, stripping it of its supernatural, exclusive, and kingly character in favor of a naturalistic, patriotic, and ecumenical “contribution” that serves the abomination of desolation.
