The Conciliar Sect’s Distortion of Fraternity: A Naturalistic Betrayal of Christ’s Kingship
The Catholic News Agency portal reports on November 12, 2025, that antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) declared fraternity as “one of the great challenges for contemporary humanity” during his general audience in St. Peter’s Square. The article, authored by Victoria Cardiel, presents this message as continuous with the thought of his predecessor Jorge Bergoglio (“Francis”), emphasizing that “the fraternity given by Christ… frees us from the negative logic of selfishness” and quoting Bergoglio’s encyclical *Fratelli Tutti*. The antipope claims fraternity “is not a beautiful but impossible dream” but rather stems from our human capacity for relationship, warning against “narcissism” while invoking St. Francis of Assisi’s greeting of “omnes fratres.” This message culminates in the assertion that the Risen Christ shows us the way to be “brothers and sisters all.” The article exemplifies the conciliar sect’s systematic substitution of naturalistic humanism for supernatural Catholicism.
Subversion of the Church’s Supernatural Mission
The article’s central thesis – that fraternity constitutes Christianity’s primary challenge – directly contradicts the immutable teaching that the Church’s first duty is the salvation of souls through the propagation of the One True Faith. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) definitively established that “the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ” and that “nations will be reminded that… they are bound to give public worship to Christ” (#18-19). By reducing Christianity to a program of horizontal human solidarity, the antipope commits the modernist error condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus (1864), which rejects the proposition that “The Church ought to reconcile herself with progress” (Error #80).
This “fraternity” heresy constitutes a complete inversion of the Great Commission, which commands: “Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 28:19). The conciliar sect replaces this divine mandate with Bergoglio’s blasphemous claim in Fratelli Tutti that difference is “a wealth” (FT #100) – a direct contradiction of St. Paul’s warning: “Bear not the yoke with unbelievers. For what participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14).
The Omission of Christ’s Social Kingship
Nowhere does the antipope mention the Social Reign of Christ the King – the very foundation of authentic Catholic social doctrine. Pius XI taught that “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony” (Quas Primas #19). The conciliar sect’s silence on this dogma exposes its true nature: a Masonic-inspired project to build the “universal brotherhood” of man without reference to divine law.
This omission constitutes formal heresy against Vatican I’s definition that “the Church herself is… a sign raised up for the nations” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Ch. 3). The article’s celebration of “authentic, not formal, bonds” between people deliberately obscures the truth that only baptismal grace makes supernatural fraternity possible. As St. Augustine taught: “How can they be brethren who abhor the one Mother, who repudiate the very womb in which they were born?” (Sermon 37:1).
The Poison of Religious Indifferentism
The invocation of St. Francis of Assisi’s greeting “omnes fratres” is particularly diabolical when divorced from the saint’s tireless work for conversions. The historical Francis preached to Muslims with the explicit goal of their conversion, declaring: “If they refuse to accept the word of God, I will leave it to divine justice” (Legend of Perugia, 38). The conciliar sect manipulates his memory to advance the condemned error that “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Pius IX, Syllabus, Error #18).
Bergoglio’s Fratelli Tutti – praised in the article – constitutes apostasy by declaring that “God wills the diversity of religions” (#281). This directly contradicts the dogmatic teaching of the Council of Florence (1442): “It [the Church] firmly believes, professes, and proclaims that those not living within the Catholic Church… cannot become participants in eternal life.” By endorsing this encyclical, the antipope confirms his status as a manifest heretic who automatically loses office according to Canon 188.4 (1917 Code) and Bellarmine’s doctrine on heretical popes.
Naturalism Disguised as Spirituality
The article’s psychologized language – warning against “falling ill with loneliness” and “narcissism” – reveals the conciliar sect’s complete abandonment of supernatural categories. Contrast this with Pius XII’s condemnation of the “new psychology” that reduces spiritual maladies to “complexes, libido… and the like” (Address to Psychotherapists, 1953). The true remedy for sin isn’t “authentic bonds” but the Sacrament of Penance – systematically destroyed through the conciliar sect’s invalid “sacraments.”
The repeated emphasis on “relationships” as salvific constitutes the modernist heresy condemned by St. Pius X: “Religious sentiment… should be considered the rule of faith” (Pascendi #6). Nowhere does the antipope mention the necessity of sanctifying grace, the Four Last Things, or the Church’s missionary mandate – silences that scream apostasy. His call to “weep and rejoice together” replaces the Cross with sentimental emotivism, fulfilling Pius X’s warning that modernists reduce Christianity to “vague and wavering feelings” (Pascendi #7).
The Masonic Roots of Conciliar “Fraternity”
The article’s glowing presentation of universal brotherhood exposes the conciliar sect as the fulfillment of Alta Vendita’s 19th-century Masonic plan to infiltrate the Church. The Carbonari instruction demanded: “Let the clergy march under your banner in the belief that they march under the banner of the Apostolic Keys” (Pius IX, Qui Pluribus, 1846). This “fraternity” heresy directly implements the Masonic vision condemned by Leo XIII: “The fundamental doctrine of the naturalists… would have all men to be alike and equal… all are brothers” (Humanum Genus #26).
The conciliar sect’s obsession with horizontal solidarity constitutes Satanic mockery of the Militant Church’s true combat against “the world rulers of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness” (Ephesians 6:12). As St. Pius X warned: “The enemy has now succeeded in penetrating her very bosom” (Encyclical on the Sillon, 1910). This article proves that the conciliar sect worships not Christ the King, but the Masonic “Architect” of their One World Religion.
