Franciscan Relief Effort Exposes Modernist Reduction of Charity to Mere Humanism
Vatican News (December 4, 2025) reports on Capuchin friars in Indonesia providing material aid to flood victims, sheltering 200 displaced persons in their novitiate, and appealing for solidarity. The article emphasizes their humanitarian efforts in a Muslim-majority region while avoiding any reference to the spiritual duties of religious. The report epitomizes the conciliar sect’s naturalization of charity – reducing the Church’s mission to social work divorced from the salvation of souls.
