Syncretism Disguised as Solidarity: US and African Bishops Promote Modernist Agenda
The EWTN News portal (February 5, 2026) reports on a joint Mass and congressional hearing in Washington, D.C., involving U.S. and African bishops, framed as an act of “solidarity” with Nigeria amid religious persecution claims. Bishop Stephen Dami Mamza of Yola Diocese described the U.S. and African Churches as “two lungs of the same body,” while Rep. Chris Smith chaired a hearing declaring Nigeria “the deadliest place to be a Christian.” The event invoked “Pope Leo” XIV’s condemnation of “zeal for war,” reducing Catholic mission to humanitarian activism divorced from the Social Kingship of Christ.
