Neo-Church’s Youth Indoctrination Masquerading as Pastoral Care
The Catholic News Agency reports on a digital encounter between antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) and teenagers at the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) in Indianapolis on November 21, 2025. Five youth asked questions about technology, recovering from mistakes, and vocational discernment, to which the antipope responded with vague spiritual platitudes devoid of doctrinal substance. The exchange exemplifies the conciliar sect’s systematic erosion of Catholic identity through therapeutic moralism and anthropocentric pastoral strategies.
Naturalization of Sin and Distortion of Penance
The antipope’s declaration that “sin never has the final word” deliberately obscures the “mors æterna” (eternal death) awaiting unrepentant sinners (Denzinger 858). By reducing original sin to a mere “struggle” and asserting that “God never stops inviting us back,” he denies the necessity of perfect contrition and trivializes the gravity of mortal sin. This contradicts Pope Pius XII’s condemnation of laxism in Mystici Corporis (1943), which insists that “the soul that sins shall die” (Ezechiel 18:4). The reference to the “sacrament of reconciliation” – a modernist term replacing Sacramentum Pœnitentiæ – further exposes the neo-church’s abandonment of the “integral confession” required by Trent (Session XIV, Canon 7).
Sacrilegious Equivalence in Worship
Leo XIV’s claim that “watching Mass online can be helpful” equates virtual participation with the ontological reality of the Holy Sacrifice, violating Pope Pius XII’s Mediator Dei (1947): “The unbloody immolation at the words of consecration… can only be effected by the priest” (§92). This sacrilege stems from the conciliar sect’s heretical ecclesiology, which denies the Mass as “the same sacrifice as that of the Cross” (Trent, Session XXII, Chapter 2).
Democratization of the Church’s Hierarchical Nature
The antipope’s assertion that youth are “not only the future of the Church, [but] the present” inverts the divine constitution of the Church defined by Pope Leo XIII in Satis Cognitum (1896): “The Church is essentially an unequal society… comprising two categories of persons, the pastors and the flock.” By urging teenagers to “join youth activities” and “share your faith,” he promotes the Protestant heresy of the universal priesthood condemned by Pius VI in Auctorem Fidei (1794).
Gnostic Vocational Discernment
Leo XIV’s vocational guidance reduces holiness to subjective feelings (“if you sense this call, that gentle tug”), ignoring St. Pius X’s warning in Pascendi against modernists who “place the religious sentiment… as the foundation of religion” (§14). The omission of celibacy’s superiority over marriage (Trent, Session XXIV, Canon 10) and the silence on religious vows as “the more perfect way” (Matt. 19:21) reveal the neo-church’s contempt for evangelical counsels.
Omission of Christ’s Social Kingship
Notably absent is any reference to the Regnum Christi over nations – the central theme of Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925), which established the Feast of Christ the King to combat secularism. The antipope’s injunction against “political categories” directly opposes Pius XI’s teaching that civil rulers must “submit to the rule of Christ” (§18). This silence confirms the conciliar sect’s complicity in what Pius IX condemned as the “great error of our times”: the separation of Church and State (Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 55).
Syncretistic Ecumenism in Disguise
The call to “build bridges instead of walls” implicitly endorses religious indifferentism anathematized by Pius IX: “The eternal salvation of anyone outside the True Church is not to be had” (Quanto Conficiamur Moerore, 1863). By framing peacemaking as dialogue rather than conversion, the antipope echoes the heresy of Vatican II’s Nostra Ætate, which Pius XII had already forbidden in his “monitum” against the 1949 Boston College ecumenical conference.
Conclusion: Apostasy Wrapped in Youth Ministry
This NCYC encounter epitomizes the neo-church’s modus operandi: replacing immutable doctrine with emotionalism, denying the Church’s missionary mandate, and forming youth not as soldiers of Christ (militia Christi), but as agents of humanistic dialogue. As Pope St. Pius X warned in Pascendi, such tactics “sow errors in souls and shake the very foundations of Catholic faith” (§39). The antidote remains unchanged: unwavering adherence to the “faith once delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3) through the immemorial Mass and pre-conciliar catechisms.
