Neo-Church’s Empty Rhetoric on Poverty Exposes Apostasy from Christ the King

The VaticanNews portal (November 16, 2025) reports on a Mass celebrated by antipope Robert Prevost (“Leo XIV”) for the “Jubilee of the Poor,” where he declared: “There can be no peace without justice, and the poor remind us of this” while lamenting “so many forms of poverty oppress our world” including “material poverty” and “moral and spiritual poverty” among youth. The ceremony gathered 6,000 attendees inside St. Peter’s Basilica with 12,000 more outside. Prevost invoked his first Apostolic Exhortation “Dilexi te” (I have loved you) to present the conciliar sect as a “mother of the poor” offering “justice and welcome” while decrying war as evidence of humanity’s “helplessness.”

Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Faith in Conciliar Sect’s Poverty Cult

The article exemplifies the conciliar sect’s complete inversion of Catholic priorities. While St. Pius X condemned the “false pity” of modernists who reduce religion to “an instrument of social betterment” (Encyclical Pascendi), Prevost’s message substitutes social activism for the Church’s divine mandate to save souls through the Blood of Christ. Not once does the text mention:

The necessity of sacramental confession to heal spiritual poverty
The Mass as propitiatory sacrifice for sin
Eternal damnation as the ultimate poverty

This silence proves Pius XI’s warning: “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” (Encyclical Quas Primas §19). By omitting Christ’s Kingship, Prevost’s social gospel becomes pure naturalism condemned by Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors: “The Church ought to adapt herself to modern civilization” (Proposition 80).

Theological Fraud in Equating Material and Spiritual Poverty

Prevost’s statement that “the tragedy that cuts across them all is loneliness” constitutes doctrinal sabotage. The Church teaches spiritual poverty stems from mortal sin separating man from God, not psychological states. Our Lord declared: “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3) – a beatitude requiring humility before divine truth, not socialist wealth redistribution.

The conciliar sect’s equation of material and spiritual poverty echoes Marxist class struggle, condemned by Leo XIII: “The Socialists, working on the poor man’s envy of the rich, strive to do away with private property” (Encyclical Quod Apostolici Muneris §1). Nowhere does Prevost:

Condemn usury destroying families
Denounce contraception causing demographic collapse
Reprove abortion as mass murder of the innocent

These omissions expose the Jubilee’s true purpose: advancing UN Sustainable Development Goals under the false banner of “charity.”

War Against Divine Justice Masquerades as Peace Advocacy

Prevost’s claim that “the globalization of helplessness arises from a lie” ironically applies to his own regime. The article’s vision of “fraternity and dignity for all” consciously rejects Pius XI’s teaching: “He who excludes the Church of Christ from civil affairs… acts as one who would have the head without the body” (Quas Primas §18). By reducing peace to socioeconomic equality, the conciliar sect fulfills Pius X’s warning about Modernists viewing Christ “as having… inaugurated for the human race a new era… which must be perfected by… human efforts” (Encyclical Pascendi §38).

The true solution to poverty – Catholic monarchies enforcing Christ’s laws – is replaced with UN-style global governance. As the Syllabus of Errors condemned the notion that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Proposition 80), so we condemn this Jubilee as apostasy.
