Conciliar Church’s “Justice” Demand Betrays Christ the King for Secular Rights

The EWTN News article from February 23, 2026, reports that Archbishop Victor Henry Thakur of Raipur, India, welcomed a Supreme Court interim order halting the forced exhumation of tribal Christians’ remains by Hindu fundamentalist groups but declared “Relief is not enough. We want justice.” The archbishop criticized the court’s refusal to overturn a ruling allowing village notice boards banning pastors and “converted Christians,” calling it discriminatory and a violation of constitutional rights to free movement and propagation of religion. The United Christian Forum described the situation as “No Rest Even in Death for Christians in India,” citing social boycotts, denial of water and rations, and frequent assaults. The article frames the crisis in terms of constitutional “rights” and “justice” sought through secular courts, omitting any reference to the supernatural kingship of Christ, the duty of Catholic states to recognize the Catholic Church, or the sacramental life of the Church. This perspective fundamentally rejects the integral Catholic social order proclaimed by pre-1958 magisterial teaching.
