Ecumenical Apostasy Masquerading as Papal Pilgrimage
The VaticanNews portal (November 25, 2025) reports on Robert Prevost’s upcoming visit to Turkey and Lebanon, framing it as a “voice of peace and hope” centered on ecumenical commemoration of the Council of Nicaea and interreligious dialogue. The six-day itinerary includes visits to mosques, joint prayers with schismatics, and meetings with Muslim and Druze leaders, while claiming to support dwindling Christian communities. The director of the “Holy See Press Office,” Matteo Bruni, emphasizes the journey’s “strong ecumenical character” and its following in the footsteps of post-conciliar usurpers from Roncalli (“John XXIII”) to Bergoglio. This spectacle perfectly encapsulates the conciliar sect’s systematic betrayal of Catholic mission.
Sacrilegious Parody of Nicaean Orthodoxy
The planned “ecumenical celebration” in İznik constitutes blasphemous theater. The Council of Nicaea (325 AD) defined the consubstantiality of the Word against Arian heretics (Denzinger 54), yet Prevost desecrates this memory by holding joint prayer with the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople—a schismatic who rejects papal supremacy and the Filioque. The lighting of a “unity candle” with Photius II’s successor mocks the Council Fathers who proclaimed: “Those who say: ‘There was when He was not,’ and ‘Before being born He was not,’…these the Catholic Church anathematizes” (Denzinger 56).
This sacrilege follows Paul VI’s scandalous 1964 encounter with Athenagoras, where both revoked the 1054 excommunications. As Pius IX’s Syllabus condemns: “It is false that the Roman Pontiff can and ought to reconcile himself with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” (Error 80). The ruins of St. Neophytos’ Basilica—where bishops once defended Christ’s divinity—now witness a counterfeit pope embracing those who deny the Church’s divine constitution.
Naturalism Replacing Supernatural Faith
The article’s emphasis on “support for small Catholic communities facing emigration” reveals the conciliar sect’s materialist worldview. Nowhere does it mention the salvation of souls or the necessity of conversion for non-Catholics. Contrast this with Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas: “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” (§19).
Instead, Prevost’s schedule includes:
– Visiting the Diyanet (Turkey’s Islamic affairs directorate)
– Private meetings with Druze leaders
– Wreath-laying at Atatürk’s mausoleum (founder of secular Turkey)
These acts constitute formal participation in false worship, condemned by Canon 1258 of the 1917 Code: “It is not permitted to Catholics to assist in any way actively, or to take part in the sacred [rites] of non-Catholics.” The planting of a cedar tree at Beirut’s presidential palace—pagan nature worship replacing the Cross—symbolizes this apostate religion of man.
Silence on Lebanon’s Spiritual Crisis
While mentioning Lebanon’s economic crisis and 2020 port explosion, the article omits the theological causes of these disasters: decades of ecumenical compromise and religious indifferentism. The planned youth meeting at Bkerké will likely promote the same “human brotherhood” heresy Bergoglio propagated in Abu Dhabi, rather than Pius X’s warning: “The enemies of the Church…are to be sought not among the open adversaries but among her most zealous defenders” (Pascendi Dominici Gregis §3).
The visit to Our Lady of Lebanon’s statue—without calling for conversion from Maronite schismatics—parodies true Marian devotion. As the Blessed Virgin revealed at Fatima (a Masonic operation according to theological analysis): “So numerous are the sins by which God is offended…that I come to ask for reparation”. True popes like Pius XII consecrated nations to Mary’s Immaculate Heart; antipopes exploit her image while spreading heresy.
Continuation of Conciliar Revolution
Bruni’s admission that Prevost follows “in the footsteps of his predecessors” acknowledges this journey’s ideological lineage:
– John XXIII’s 1962 heretical prayer with Orthodox at Istanbul
– Benedict XVI’s 2006 mosque visit (bowing toward Mecca)
– Bergoglio’s 2014 Islamic “invocation for peace” at Vatican Gardens
Each step fulfills the Masonic plan exposed in Alta Vendita: “The Pope…will be dragged into the arena of political passions…He will exhaust himself…by trying to impose himself as mediator between extremes”. The “press conference on the return flight”—a modernist innovation—will doubtless spawn further doctrinal ambiguities violating Lamentabili Sane‘s condemnation of theological evolutionism (Errors 21, 22, 64).
Abandonment of the Roman Primacy
The article’s reference to “Christians of many traditions” recognizing Nicaea denies the Council’s true nature: a gathering of Catholic bishops under papal authority. The original Nicene Creed ended with: “I believe in the Holy Spirit…and in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church”—precisely what Prevost’s syncretism rejects. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches: “The Roman Pontiff, as the successor of Peter, is the head of the whole Church and the father and teacher of all Christians” (De Romano Pontifice I.9).
By equating Constantinople’s patriarch with Peter’s successor, Prevost fulfills Pius IX’s prophecy: “They pervert the meaning of the doctrine…to propagate the pest of indifferentism” (Syllabus Error 79). His Mass at Istanbul’s Volkswagen Arena—a profane venue named for a car manufacturer—completes the desacralization begun with the Novus Ordo.
Conclusion: Apostasy Institutionalized
This journey epitomizes the conciliar sect’s essence: a counterfeit church preaching human solidarity instead of divine truth. As St. Pius X warned: “The modernists substitute for faith a sentiment…born of need of the divine” (Pascendi §10). While true Catholics maintain the lex orandi and lex credendi of the eternal Rome, the Vatican occupiers pursue their “great mission” of reducing Christianity to a NGO—all while dangling sacrilegious “Communion” before starving souls. Let the faithful recall Pius XI’s cry: “Christ is King, or the world is chaos!” (Quas Primas §18). The counterfeit “voice of peace” leads only to eternal ruin.
