Vatican’s Hollow Appeal: Funding the Abomination

Summary: VaticanNews portal (March 16, 2026) reports an appeal from Cardinal Claudio Gugerotti, Prefect of the Dicastery for Eastern Churches, urging global Catholics to donate to the annual Good Friday Collection for the Holy Land, administered by the Custody of the Holy Land (Franciscans). Gugerotti laments ongoing violence, Christian emigration, and the plight of minority Christian communities, framing the collection as a “decisive” act of hope and solidarity that counters indifference. He explicitly references the invitation of antipope Leo XIV. The article presents a purely humanitarian, naturalistic appeal devoid of any reference to the sacramental life, the necessity of Catholic conversion, or the social reign of Christ the King. This appeal is a sophisticated act of apostasy, using the language of charity to fund and legitimize the conciliar sect’s presence in the Holy Land while utterly ignoring the supernatural mission of the Church and the divine law that demands the public recognition of Christ’s kingship over all nations.
