Spain: Archbishop calls out globalist agenda in Ceuta invasion

Some background material about the 60,000-strong invading force of migrants from Morocco entering Ceuta, Spain can be read HERE.

Despite the official support of open migration on the part of the Catholic Church, dissenting leaders — who are honorable and sensible — are still influential. One of those is Archbishop Luis Argüello:

La biopolitica es clave en el actual poder mundial. Se juega con la vida y se utiliza a las personas -sus sueños, hambre, sexualidad y datos- en favor del lucro y del poder. Las migraciones forman parte de esta estrategia. La invasión de Ceuta es un test. La demografía es un arma

Archbishop Luis Argüello is the highly influential Spanish Archbishop of Valladolid and the president of the Spanish Episcopal Conference. It is refreshing to see him not aligned with the globalist Pope Leo and his predecessor Pope Francis, both of whom have advocated heavily for open migration without consideration for the rule of law, or for the victims of crime and jihad. Both have openly condemned leaders who sought to protect their borders, while they themselves were safely walled up in the Vatican with the Swiss Guard at their disposal, and would never face economic woes. In fact, Vatican City has impenetrable borders and 24/7 security, proving the hypocrisy of the popes. “Anyone who enters Vatican territory illegally is subject to criminal prosecution, with penalties now reaching as high as €25,000 (about $33,730USD), and prison sentences up to four years. These penalties could be increased if the illegal entry involves violence.” Also, “anyone convicted for entering the Vatican illegally will subsequently be barred from legal entry for up to 15 years.”

According to the Newman Times Herald: “Javier Milei, the President of Argentina from whence Francis came, once called the Pope an ‘imbecile’ promoting communism.”

The Ceuta migrant crisis ended up so out of control that the local Catholic Church “is now trying to help return the invaders home.”

Archbishop Luis Argüello represents the hope of the Church, as conservatives generally do.

“Archbishop Calls Out Globalist Agenda After Migrant ‘Invasion’ Of Spain,” by Spencer Lombardo, Daily Caller, August 4, 2026:

One of the Catholic Church’s top prelates in Spain spoke out against mass migration being used for political gain after thousands of illegal aliens stormed a Spanish city.

“Biopolitics is key in the current world power structure. Life is played with, and people—their dreams, hunger, sexuality, and data—are used in favor of profit and power,” Archbishop Luis Argüello — president of the Spanish Episcopal Conference (CEE) — said in an X post Sunday. “Migration is part of this strategy. The invasion of Ceuta is a test. Demography is a weapon.”

This came after Ceuta’s president estimated that over 60,000 Moroccans swarmed the Spanish city of Ceuta on July 30. Ceuta is located on the North African coast near Gibraltar.

CEE didn’t immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment. It isn’t immediately clear who Argüello was referring to regarding the “current world power structure.”

The local Catholic Church — which has provided medical, social, legal, and emergency assistance to sub-Saharan migrants for many years — is now trying to help return the invaders home, Vatican News reported…
