Chrism Mass in Indonesia Preaches Conciliar Humanism Over Sacramental Grace

The conciliar structure occupying the Diocese of Larantuka, Indonesia, celebrated a Chrism Mass on Holy Thursday, April 2, 2026. The event, reported by the Vatican News portal, featured a homily by the diocesan prelate, Mr. Yohanes Hans Monteiro, who emphasized priestly “fraternity,” communal “hope,” and the Church’s role in addressing “human dignity” and economic hardship. The rite included the blessing of the three holy oils, but the theological framework of the celebration reflected the post-conciliar paradigm’s substitution of supernatural charity with naturalistic humanism and its eradication of the traditional Catholic concept of the priesthood as a sacrificial, hierarchical office.
