Chiclayo’s Idolatrous Homage to the Usurper of Peter’s Throne
The Catholic News Agency (CNA) reports the unveiling of a 16-foot statue of “Pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) in Chiclayo, Peru, where he served as “bishop” from 2014 to 2023. The fiberglass-resin effigy, erected on a central roundabout, was ceremonially blessed by “Bishop” Edinson Farfán, who called it a symbol of “walking together: Church, state, institutions, and citizens under God’s gaze.” Regional officials praised the statue as an act of thanksgiving to the “Peruvian at heart,” while local dancers performed the marinera and a pop song titled “La Cumbia del Papa.” This spectacle epitomizes the conciliar sect’s descent into personality cults and naturalistic pantheism.
Public Idolatry Masked as “Gratitude”
The blessing of a colossal effigy violates the First Commandment’s prohibition against graven images (Exodus 20:4-5). Non facies tibi sculptile (“You shall not make for yourself a carved idol”) admits no exception for modernist “popes.” The Diocese of Chiclayo’s participation in this act—framed as honoring a “message of love, hope, and unity”—constitutes sacrilegious idolatry of a usurper. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) condemned such secularized displays, insisting that Christ the King alone merits public veneration: “The faithful… must honor Christ the King… not as private persons only, but as public officials and rulers” (§32).
Far from reflecting Catholic piety, this statue exemplifies the conciliar sect’s anthropocentric displacement of divine worship. The artist’s stated goal—to make the figure “approachable” and smiling—reveals a deliberate rejection of sacred art’s hieratic purpose. Contrast this with the Council of Trent’s decree on sacred images: “[Images] should not be painted or adorned with beauty exciting to lust” (Session 25).
Ecclesiological Heresy in the Language of Apostasy
“Bishop” Farfán’s declaration that governing is “an act of love” inverts Catholic teaching. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors condemned the proposition that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55). The true Church teaches that civil authority derives from Christ the King, not sentimentalism.
The article’s repeated references to “walking together” echo the conciliar sect’s synodal heresy, condemned by Pius XII in Humani Generis: “[Some] distort the true ‘democratic’ meaning of the Church… forgetting that the Church’s structure is by divine right monarchical” (§35).
Sacrilegious Consecration of Apostasy
The “blessing” administered by Farfán—an invalidly ordained minister in apostolic succession—holds no sacramental validity. As Pius XII’s Sacramentum Ordinis (1947) dogmatized, valid ordination requires the proper form, matter, and intention. Post-conciliar rites, designed by Annibale Bugnini’s masonic committee, lack all three.
Moreover, Prevost’s “episcopal” tenure in Chiclayo was marked by doctrinal betrayal. During his administration, the diocese hosted “interfaith dialogues” with pagan Andean cults—a violation of Pope Gregory XVI’s condemnation in Mirari Vos (1832) of “indifferentism, that foul apostasy” (§13).
Conclusion: A Monument to the Antichurch
This statue—like the golden calf of Exodus 32—symbolizes the conciliar sect’s definitive rupture from Catholicism. St. Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (1907) foresaw this collapse into naturalism, condemning the error that “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20). Chiclayo’s monument celebrates not a successor of Peter, but a bureaucrat of the Antichurch. Let faithful Catholics heed Our Lord’s warning: Videte, vigilate, et orate (“Watch, stay awake, and pray”)—for the abomination of desolation stands in the holy place.
