The National Catholic Register portal reports on a Nov. 21, 2025 digital encounter between “Pope” Leo XIV and 16,000 youth at the National Catholic Youth Conference in Indianapolis. The event featured five teenagers questioning the antipope about mental health, artificial intelligence, and Church future. Participants praised his “authenticity,” “humility,” and emphasis on “personal relationship with Jesus,” with one teen declaring it felt like “history.” EWTN facilitated the global broadcast, which secular media picked up. Cardinal Christophe Pierre called it a “Church event,” while organizers gushed about the antipope’s “fluency with tech culture.” The article frames this as a triumphant engagement with modernity.
Theological Anesthesia: Replacing Doctrine With Emotional Manipulation
The saccharine emphasis on “feeling history” and “experiencing authenticity” exposes the neo-church’s systematic replacement of objective dogma with subjective emotivism. Elise Wing’s statement that “we’re excited because this is Jesus working through the Church, working through the pope” illustrates the heresy of immanentism condemned in Lamentabili Sane (1907): “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20). Pius X warned that Modernists reduce faith to “a sum of probabilities” (Proposition 25), precisely mirrored here as the antipope’s “central message” displaces the extra Ecclesiam nulla salus dogma with vacuous “relationship” language.
“He talked about finding people that you can really trust […] that not only will listen to you, but help guide you with your faith in the Lord.”
This therapeutic paradigm subverts the Church’s teaching authority. Contrast this with Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925): Christ’s kingship demands “unlimited right over all creation,” not motivational speaking. The absence of any mention of sin, sacraments, or hell in the dialogue proves the event was spiritual malpractice, reducing Catholicism to self-help.
Ecclesiological Sabotage: Erasing the Church’s Divine Constitution
Cardinal Pierre’s declaration that “the Church is made of people […] we are the Church” enshrines the heresy of collegiality anathematized by Pius VI in Auctorem Fidei (1794). The antipope’s assertion that youth are “the present” of the Church inverts Pius X’s condemnation in Pascendi: “The Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics because it steadfastly adheres to its views” (Proposition 63). By encouraging teens to “push you to better your understanding,” the antipope promotes the evolutionary dogma condemned in the Syllabus of Errors (1864): “Human reason […] is the sole arbiter of truth and falsehood” (Proposition 3).
Technological Idolatry: Sacrificing Sacramental Ontology to Digital Spectacle
Montse Alvarado’s celebration of the Vatican’s “cutting-edge production” and “fluency with tech culture” confirms the neo-church’s capitulation to scientism. The Syllabus condemned those who claim “the Church is hostile to […] progress” (Proposition 40), yet here, screen time and AI replace asceticism and grace. The digital medium itself conveys apostasy: Quas Primas insists Christ’s reign requires nations to “publicly venerate and obey” Him, not reduce Him to a Zoom call. This “dialogue” mocks Pius XI’s warning against “false democracy” in Church governance.
“The pope just kept bringing it back to the Lord. That’s why we’re here.”
A diabolical inversion: The true Lord demands “If any man come to me and hate not his father […] he cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:26), not emotional validation. This “Lord” resembles Teilhard de Chardin’s immanent cosmic force, condemned by Pius XII in Humani Generis (1950).
Silent Apostasy: Omissions That Scream Heresy
The article’s glaring omissions reveal its apostate core:
- Zero references to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, despite Pius XII’s Mediator Dei (1947) defining it as “the center of Christian religion.”
- No mention of Confession, flying in the face of Trent’s decree on the necessity of sacramental absolution.
- Absent warnings that receiving “Communion” in invalid rites constitutes sacrilege, contra Pope Leo XIII’s Apostolicae Curae (1896).
When the antipope advises youth to “attend Sunday Mass,” he implicitly endorses the invalid Novus Ordo – a blasphemy against Pius V’s Quo Primum, which forbade altering the Roman Missal. Cardinal Pierre’s claim that “we are the Church” negates the Code of Canon Law (1917) definition of the Church as “the union of baptized persons professing the same faith under the Roman Pontiff.”
Conclusion: Masonic Playbook Executed
This spectacle fulfills the “Masonic Operation Fatima” blueprint from the provided file: Stage 3 (1958-2000) “Takeover of the narrative by modernists” now metastasized as “Pope” Leo’s Protestantized liturgy of self-affirmation. The teenage participants, trained to parrot “super refreshing” slogans, embody the neo-church’s cult of man condemned in Paul IV’s Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio (1559): Those who “defect from the Catholic Faith” before office forfeit all authority. True Catholics heed Pius XI’s call in Quas Primas: Reject imposters and restore “the sweet yoke of Christ” through immutable Tradition.
