The Usurper’s War and the Subversion of Catholic Moral Teaching: A Sedevacantist Critique
EWTN News reports on a public dispute between Vice President JD Vance and the conciliar figurehead Leo XIV regarding the morality of the Iran war. Vance, while acknowledging the “pope’s” advocacy for peace, urged the Vatican to “stick to matters of morality” and “what’s going on in the Catholic Church,” leaving public policy to the U.S. government. Several Catholic theologians, including Joseph Capizzi, Taylor Patrick O’Neill, and Ron Bolster, correctly affirmed that war is a moral matter and the Church has a role in teaching on it. However, their entire framework operates within the false premise that Leo XIV is the true Pope and that the post-conciliar structures possess any authority to teach, a premise that nullifies their otherwise valid points and reveals the profound spiritual bankruptcy of the modernist church.
