The Catholic News Agency portal (November 21, 2025) reports on the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) in Indianapolis, where teenagers participate in activities labeled as “faith formation” through interactive exhibits themed around sacraments, games, and a digital encounter with antipope Leo XIV. The event’s stated purpose is to help youth “encounter Christ” through entertainment-driven methods including hat exchanges, vocational discernment games, and service projects. Participants express enthusiasm for the “I Am” theme and the opportunity to hear the antipope address them in English.
Naturalization of the Supernatural Order
The conference reduces the sacred to the trivial by promoting sacrilegious parity between divine institutions and human inventions. Aaron Frazita’s admission that organizers “added a few of our own sacraments, like being joyful with games” constitutes doctrinal sabotage. The Council of Trent infallibly defined that “if anyone says that the sacraments of the New Law were not all instituted by Jesus Christ our Lord…let him be anathema” (Session VII, Canon I). This sacrilegious equation of divinely ordained mysteries with recreational activities fulfills Pius X’s warning in Pascendi that Modernists reduce religion to “vital immanence” by making subjective experience the measure of truth.
Nowhere does the article mention confession of sins, the Four Last Things, or the necessity of grace for salvation. The complete silence on the propitiatory sacrifice of Calvary – the source of all sacramental power – exposes this as neo-pelagian performance art. When teen participant Lucy Snipes praises NCYC’s adoration as “the best thing ever” due to emotional resonance with crowds, it confirms the replacement of latria (divine worship) with emotional collective effervescence condemned by Pius XII in Mediator Dei (108).
Ecclesiological Subversion Through Illegitimate Authority
The report’s reverence for antipope Leo XIV’s digital address constitutes spiritual adultery. Cum ex Apostolatus Officio (1559) establishes that any prelate “who prior to his promotion or elevation as Cardinal or Roman Pontiff had deviated from the Catholic Faith or fallen into heresy…his promotion or elevation shall be null, void and worthless.” The apostate teachings of Jorge Bergoglio and his successors render all subsequent claimants to the papacy mere usurpers. The excitement over an “American pope speaking English” substitutes nationalist pride for supernatural faith – a violation of the Church’s universal nature described by Pius XII as “not circumscribed within the confines of any particular nation” (Mystici Corporis, 92).
The so-called sacramental exhibits operate as indoctrination centers for conciliar heresies. When organizers claim to help teens “think in a new way” about sacraments, they enact the Modernist evolutionary dogma condemned by St. Pius X: “They affirm that the dogmas…are capable of change and evolution” (Lamentabili, 54). The replacement of catechism with crafts and games implements the Freemasonic plan to destroy sacramental efficacy through distraction, as documented in Alta Vendita protocols calling for “a generation formed in the new principles.”
Structural Apostasy in Youth Formation
The NCYC model embodies three heresies simultaneously:
- Sacramental relativism: By placing Eucharist alongside “joyful games,” it violates Trent’s teaching on sacramental inequality (Session VII, Canon IV)
- Ecumenical indifferentism: The “service projects” and inter-diocesan mingling promote the false ecumenism condemned by Pius XI in Mortalium Animos as “pan-Christians deluded by vain hope“
- Anthropocentric worship: The “I Am” theme inverts Exodus 3:14 into self-deification, fulfilling Paul VI’s lament that “the smoke of Satan has entered the Church” (June 29, 1972)
The teenage participants’ statements reveal catastrophic catechetical failure. Miriam Stebel’s desire for “better understanding of the Church” through this carnival demonstrates how post-conciliar structures produce doctrinal illiteracy. Addi Kandel’s aspiration to “interpret Scripture” through NCYC workshops violates Leo XIII’s condemnation of private interpretation in Providentissimus Deus (14). Nowhere do mentors direct youth to the pre-conciliar catechisms or encyclicals – the only antidotes to the poison they’re drinking.
Conclusion: Desacralization as Strategic Weapon
This NCYC report documents the final stage of apostasy predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4. By replacing the lex orandi with entertainment and false sacraments, the conciliar sect completes its transformation into “the synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 2:9). The true Catholic response is not reform but rejection – a call to “go out from among them and be separate” (2 Corinthians 6:17). Only by returning to the immutable Mass and doctrine preserved by faithful bishops outside the Vatican structures can these youth escape the eternal famine of truth Amos 8:11 warns against.
