Interreligious Jubilee at Our Lady of Guadalupe Basilica with Hare Krishna, Sufi Muslims, Jews, Protestants, and ‘Catholics’

Multi-religious madness in Mexico…

Interreligious Jubilee at Our Lady of Guadalupe Basilica with Hare Krishna, Sufi Moslems, Jews, Protestants, and ‘Catholics’

Novus Ordos and other unbelievers — all united in their rejection of Catholicism…

What we are reporting in this post took place in Mexico nine months ago. It went largely unnoticed then because fewer than two weeks had passed since the end of the conclave, and so many ‘Catholic’ news agencies, journalists, and talking heads were still smitten with the election of Robert Prevost as ‘Pope Leo XIV’ and his ability to chant the Our Father and Regina Caeli in Latin.

On May 21, 2025, the Novus Ordo archdiocese of Mexico hosted an ‘interreligious jubilee’ celebration at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The event featured speeches and/or performances by members of various religions, to wit, Judaism, Anglicanism, Sufi Islam, Evangelical Protestantism, Hare Krishna Hinduism — and, of course, Novus Ordo ‘Catholicism’. In fact, one of the high-profile Novus Ordo participants was an auxiliary bishop of the diocese, Francisco Javier Acero Pérez, O.A.R.

That all religions represented were treated equally goes without saying. In fact, the following official advertisement, which was distributed by the diocese on social media (example here), makes that point visually:

The basilica’s official YouTube account made the entire spectacle available via livestream, which can still be accessed here on YouTube or in the player below:

The sedevacantist writer Miles Christi (‘Soldier of Christ’) has written a Catholic critique of this event, which is accessible here in Spanish.

With regard to the contributions of the various religious representatives, here is what took place:

The musical program included a dervish ceremony (a dance-meditation) performed by the Sufi Order Nur Ashki Yerráhi, a community of Islam. The Children’s Choir of the Basilica of Guadalupe also participated.

Later, the atmosphere was enlivened by singers from the Anglican Church and a performer from the Bet El Jewish Community, who sang songs in Hebrew. The worship ministry of the Evangelical Mission Church raised their voices, while the Hare Krishnas shared their devotional dances and songs.

Rabbi Emeritus Marcelo Ritner also spoke and expressed his desire to live in harmony. He indicated that a person of faith must “live seeking, through their own faith, the path to draw closer and receive the light and receive the blessing.”

In other words, it was a celebration of Indifferentism. The message was loud and clear: It doesn’t matter what religion you are because all religions are good and holy. Let’s set aside our differences and through our respective religions work to make the world a better place.

That this is false and dangerous and can never work was explained by Pope St. Pius X in 1910:

…Catholic doctrine tells us that the primary duty of charity does not lie in the toleration of false ideas, however sincere they may be, nor in the theoretical or practical indifference towards the errors and vices in which we see our brethren plunged, but in the zeal for their intellectual and moral improvement as well as for their material well-being. Catholic doctrine further tells us that love for our neighbor flows from our love for God, Who is Father to all, and goal of the whole human family; and in Jesus Christ whose members we are, to the point that in doing good to others we are doing good to Jesus Christ Himself. Any other kind of love is sheer illusion, sterile and fleeting.

Indeed, we have the human experience of pagan and secular societies of ages past to show that concern for common interests or affinities of nature weigh very little against the passions and wild desires of the heart. No, Venerable Brethren, there is no genuine fraternity outside Christian charity. Through the love of God and His Son Jesus Christ Our Saviour, Christian charity embraces all men, comforts all, and leads all to the same faith and same heavenly happiness.

By separating fraternity from Christian charity thus understood, Democracy, far from being a progress, would mean a disastrous step backwards for civilization. If, as We desire with all Our heart, the highest possible peak of well being for society and its members is to be attained through fraternity or, as it is also called, universal solidarity, all minds must be united in the knowledge of Truth, all wills united in morality, and all hearts in the love of God and His Son Jesus Christ. But this union is attainable only by Catholic charity, and that is why Catholic charity alone can lead the people in the march of progress towards the ideal civilization.

(Pope Pius X, Apostolic Letter Notre Charge Apostolique condemning Le Sillon)

Thus we see that even for the attainment of legitimate temporal aims, such as peace and social wellbeing, it is necessary to seek the conversion of non-Catholics to the true religion, because our love of neighbor must flow from the love of God, to which it is necessarily subordinate (see Mk 12:29-31).

In any case, the scandalous interreligious jubilee at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe was covered also by the neighboring diocese of Iztapalapa. On its official web site the diocese reported:

The event began at 5:00 p.m. with a welcome from the Most Illustrious Canon Monsignor Efraín Hernández Díaz, Rector of the Basilica of Guadalupe, who urged attendees to open their hearts to dialogue and different expressions of faith.

In his speech, he recalled that the gift of hope must be spread especially where it seems to have been lost, amid discouragement, loneliness, and failure. He quoted Pope Francis’ message of December 25, 2024, which emphasizes that, beyond religious beliefs, we are all brothers and sisters in a deeply divided world.

(Lizeth Álvarez, “Religiones se unen en la Basílica de Guadalupe para celebrar el Jubileo Interreligioso”, Diócesis de Iztapalapa, May 22, 2025; translation via DeepL.com.)

Here we can clearly see that the “hope” being promoted by the Vatican II Church — remember that 2025 was the Jubilee Year of Hope in Novus Ordo Land — not the theological virtue of hope, which is necessary for salvation: “For we are saved by hope” (Rom 8:24a).

According to the traditional Catholic teaching, the supernatural virtue of hope is

that disposition of the soul which enables it to aspire towards God as its last end and towards all the means, spiritual and temporal, necessary to the attainment of that end; knowing that neither means nor end can be achieved by its own efforts unaided by the grace of God and that co-operation with that grace is necessary. Hope, though a theological virtue, is not directed towards God solely but only primarily and directly; indirectly, to the Beatific Vision. Secondarily it looks to the resurrection and all good, both spiritual and temporal, and the like happiness and blessings for others. Hope in the infinite goodness, power and faithfulness of God is necessary to salvation, for it is in itself an indispensable means to that salvation, and the habit of hope is infused into infants at Baptism; the denial of this necessity was one of the errors of Quietism. The sins against hope are despair and presumption. In the object of hope, God, and the supernatural means provided, Grace, we have complete certitude added to hope; for the rest, there cannot be certitude because of the weakness and malice of the human will.

(Donald Attwater, ed., A Catholic Dictionary, 3rd. ed. [1957], s.v. “Hope”)

By divorcing the notion of hope from its primary and supernatural objects — God and the salvation of souls — and reducing it to a mere optimism for improvement of temporal life, the “Most Illustrious Canon Monsignor” is teaching a counterfeit hope.

According to a Spanish-language news article by the EWTN-affiliated ACI Prensa, Hernandez also “invited representatives of other religions and those present to be ‘a leaven of authentic hope for the world, so in need of truth, justice, peace, and harmony, and also of the fulfillment of God’s promises'” (translation via DeepL.com).

While he claims to be speaking of “authentic hope” and even mentions “truth” and “the fulfillment of God’s promises”, he is seriously misleading his listeners. Let us not forget that he is addressing non-Catholics, including Muslims, Jews, and pagans. Far from teaching them that authentic hope can only be found in the true religion — Roman Catholicism — which alone can lead them to eternal salvation, he is inculcating in them that they have the “hope”, “truth”, and “fulfillment of God’s promises” the world is in need of. He is essentially endorsing their religions and telling them to ‘enrich’ the world with their respective doctrines and ideas! What an abomination!

Furthermore, by speaking of different and mutually incompatible religions as “different expressions of faith”, as any Freemason would do, Hernandez is denying the true nature of Faith and of divine revelation. In fact, he is essentially proclaiming the apostate doctrine of ‘Pope’ Francis, who told prison inmates on May 18, 2024: “Our cultures have taught us to call [God] by one name or another, and to find him in different ways, but he is the same father to all of us. He is one. And all religions, all cultures, look at the one God in different ways.”

Later that same year, Francis outrageously told interreligious youngsters in Singapore:

All religions are a path to reach God. They are – let me use an analogy – like different languages, different dialects, to get there. But God is God for everyone. And since God is God for everyone, we are all children of God. “But my God is more important than yours!” Is that true? There is only one God, and our religions are languages, paths to reach God. Some are Sikh, some are Muslim, some are Hindu, some are Christian, but they are different paths.

(Italian original: Interreligious Meeting with Young People, Sep. 13, 2024; translation via ChatGPT.)

This is pure Modernism! With such a view of religion, interreligious events are rather easy to pull off. As Pope St. Pius X remarked: “Indeed, Modernists do not deny, but actually maintain, some confusedly, others frankly, that all religions are true” (Encyclical Pascendi, n. 14).

If one claims that all religions are true — an absurdity if there ever was one — then it can only mean he believes that no religion is true, for God obviously cannot reveal mutually exclusive ‘truths’ to different religions. And if no religion is true, then one can easily say such things as ‘Pope’ Francis has said, for example, that God wills a diversity of religions (see here and here). And if that is true, then it is no big step to conclude, as Francis blasphemously did in 2019, that religious differences are “necessary”.

As we can see, it all fits together. Except it’s not Catholicism, it’s apostasy.
