Vatican News portal (November 26, 2025) reports on Antipope Leo XIV’s impending journey to Turkey and Lebanon, framing it as an ecumenical and interreligious peace initiative. Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin describes the visit as strengthening Christian faith while promoting “harmony, dialogue, and peace” through mosque visits and interfaith events. The article highlights planned activities including an ecumenical celebration for the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea and a silent prayer at Beirut’s explosion site, all presented as continuity with previous antipopes’ “peacebuilding” efforts.
Naturalistic Substitution of Supernatural Mission
The entire narrative reduces the Church’s mission to a secular humanitarian organization, precisely fulfilling Pius IX’s condemnation in the Syllabus of Errors: “Christianity is nothing more than a particular form of humanism” (cf. Syllabus, Errors 15-18). Nowhere does Parolin mention the Social Reign of Christ the King – the very foundation of true peace according to Pius XI’s 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.”
The blasphemous equation of Christ’s Church with false religions manifests in the planned Blue Mosque visit, directly violating the First Commandment. Pius XI warned that such syncretism “opens the way to religious relativism” (File: False Fatima Apparitions). The Council of Florence’s “Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus” (Outside the Church there is no salvation) is replaced with Parolin’s claim that all religions share “common causes” – a heresy condemned by Pope Pius IX: “Good hope at least is to be entertained of the eternal salvation of all those who are not at all in the true Church of Christ” (Syllabus, Error 17).
Ecumenical Betrayal of Nicaea’s Legacy
Parolin perverts the Council of Nicaea’s purpose, claiming it serves as “a cornerstone for divided Christians” rather than the dogmatic condemnation of Arian heresy. This modernist distortion ignores how Nicaea’s Creed constitutes the anathema against all who deny Christ’s divinity – including Muslims whom Leo XIV will entertain. St. Cyril of Alexandria’s Twelve Anathemas against ecumenical compromise remain the Church’s true position: “If anyone does not confess that the Word of God suffered in the flesh and was crucified in the flesh, let him be anathema.”
The article’s claim that “all Christians believe in Christ’s divinity” constitutes grave deception. Eastern schismatics deny papal supremacy and Filioque, while Protestants reject transubstantiation – all heresies condemned by Trent. Pius XII’s Mystici Corporis clarifies: “They who are divided in faith or government cannot be living in the unity of such a Body, nor can they be living the life of its one Divine Spirit.”
War Against the Kingship of Christ
Nowhere does the article mention Christ’s right to rule nations, instead promoting the Masonic ideal of “dialogue and encounter.” This directly opposes Pius IX’s condemnation: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Syllabus, Error 55). The chosen motto “Blessed are the peacemakers” is stripped of its Christological context, reducing it to naturalistic conflict resolution.
Parolin’s praise for Lebanon as “a message more than a country” exposes the conciliar sect’s hatred for Catholic states. Compare this to Pius XI’s teaching: “When countries fail to publicly venerate Christ the King, they lose their authority’s religious foundation, shaking society’s stability” (Quas Primas). The silence about Lebanon’s Islamic hegemony and persecution of Christians reveals this journey’s true purpose: to normalize dhimmitude.
Modernist Contamination of Papal Ministry
The article’s description of papal journeys as “modern instrument for exercising their ministry” constitutes revolutionary heresy. Nowhere does Parolin mention the Cathedra Petri‘s true purpose: to bind and loose, condemn error, and call nations to conversion. Instead, he reduces the papacy to a NGO mediator, claiming “the Holy See must continue to proclaim the theme of encounter rather than confrontation” – precisely the indifferentism condemned by St. Pius X: “All the proponents of error are to be sought out and condemned” (Lamentabili Sane, Proposition 58).
The blasphemous comparison of antipapal visits to Saint Peter’s ministry mocks the Apostle who preached: “Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). True apostolic journeys resemble Pius V’s mobilization against Ottoman invaders at Lepanto – not Leo XIV’s mosque genuflections.
Silent Apostasy at Beirut Port
The planned “silent prayer” at Beirut’s explosion site epitomizes the conciliar sect’s sacramental bankruptcy. Rather than offering the Propitiatory Sacrifice of Calvary for victims’ souls, this naturalistic gesture denies Purgatory and the Mass’s power. Compare this to true Catholic response to disasters: Blessed Pius IX’s 48-hour Eucharistic Adoration after the 1868 Palermo earthquake that saved the city.
Parolin’s “message of hope” for Lebanon avoids the only true solution: Consecration to Christ the King and Mary’s Immaculate Heart. The article’s focus on “political reforms” and “civil society” reveals the conciliar sect’s Marxist roots, rejecting Pius XI’s teaching: “There can be no true peace between nations without peace in Christ” (Ubi Arcano).
“The Pope embarks with the sentiments that have always accompanied the Supreme Pontiffs in exercising their Petrine ministry: to meet the Christian communities in these lands and strengthen them in faith.”
This brazen lie ignores how true popes exercised their ministry. Consider St. Pius V excommunicating Elizabeth I for persecuting Catholics, or Pius XI condemning Mexican persecutors in Iniquis Afflictisque. By contrast, Leo XIV strengthens no one in faith – his mosque visit scandalizes believers by implying Islam offers salvation.
As the counterfeit church accelerates its apostasy, faithful Catholics heed Pius XII’s warning: “The smoke of Satan has entered the Sanctuary” (June 29, 1972 Homily). Our duty remains clear: “Deponite illum de sede sua” (Cast him out from his throne) until a true pope restores Christ’s Social Reign.
