African Bishops Seek Peace Without Christ the King
VaticanNews portal reports (June 17, 2026) on the plenary assembly of the Episcopal Conference of Burkina Faso-Niger (CEB-N), where bishops reaffirmed their commitment to “peace,” the vitality of Small Christian Communities, and the renewal of Catholic education. The bishops praised the faithful who endure security challenges with “courage and hope” and participated in a “Journalism Contest for Peace and Social Cohesion,” honoring media professionals who promote “dialogue, coexistence, and social cohesion.” They called for strengthening Small Christian Communities as pillars of the “Church-Family of God in Africa,” encouraged archiving the Church’s historical heritage, and announced celebrations for the 125th anniversary of Catholic education. The closing Mass was celebrated with prayers for “Pope” Leo XIV and the Church’s mission, as well as for the “aspirations of the peoples for peace, security, and hope.” This entire exercise is a textbook example of how the conciliar sect reduces the supernatural mission of the Church to naturalistic humanitarianism, omitting any mention of the Social Kingship of Christ, the necessity of Catholic evangelization, or the eternal salvation of souls.
