[X] portal reports that the Diocese of Sokoto, Nigeria, has issued a statement through its Director of Communications, Fr. Pascal Salifu, denying viral claims of an attack on the bishop’s residence, cathedral, and pastoral center. The statement asserts these facilities are “safe, intact, and fully operational,” dismissing the video as “completely false.” The article then pivots to a separate, real attack in Jos that killed 27 people last Palm Sunday. It quotes the Bishop of Sokoto, Matthew Hassan Kukah, who, in an interview with Vatican News, emphasized “maintaining an attitude of hope in the midst of the ongoing violence,” condemning attacks while urging people not to “succumb to fear but instead trust in God and remain steadfast.” The piece concludes by appealing for verification of news to avoid spreading “fake news that can trigger anger and indiscriminate violence.”
This superficial news item is not merely a report on disinformation; it is a stark revelation of the theological and spiritual bankruptcy of the post-conciliar sect that occupies the Vatican. The focus on “fake news” as a primary evil, while omitting any supernatural framework for understanding violence, hope, or divine justice, exposes a sect utterly divorced from the Catholic faith. Bishop Kukah’s “hope” is a naturalistic, humanistic sentiment, devoid of the supernatural hope that is a theological virtue, oriented toward eternal salvation and the reign of Christ the King. The entire narrative operates within the realm of natural ethics and social harmony, betraying the Modernist infection condemned by St. Pius X.
