VaticanNews portal reports on November 29, 2025, the third day of antipope Leo XIV’s Turkish expedition, detailing his mosque visitation, ecumenical gathering with heretical leaders, joint prayer with the Orthodox Patriarch, and Novus Ordo ritual.
Profanation of Sacred Space: Mosque Visit as Betrayal of Catholic Exclusivity
The so-called “pope’s” entrance into the Sultan Ahmed Mosque constitutes formal participation in idolatry, directly violating the First Commandment and centuries of papal condemnations. St. Robert Bellarmine’s De Controversiis (1586) expressly forbids such communicatio in sacris (communication in sacred rites) with infidels, stating: “It is not lawful to enter the temples of infidels to honor their false gods.” This act confirms Pius XI’s warning in Mortalium Animos (1928) about the “false opinion that all religions are more or less good and praiseworthy.”
Ecumenical Apostasy: Sacramental Equivalence Between Truth and Error
The “private ecumenical meeting” at Mor Ephrem Syriac Church implicitly denies the extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (outside the Church there is no salvation) dogma defined at Lateran IV (1215). By treating Nestorian-derived Syriac schismatics as equals, antipope Leo XIV fulfills Pius IX’s condemnation in the Syllabus of Errors (1864): “Men may find the way of eternal salvation in any religion whatsoever” (Error 16). The absence of any call for conversion exposes the naturalistic presupposition that grace operates independently of Catholic sacraments.
Orthodox Collusion: Joint Declaration as Denial of Papal Primacy
The “Joint Declaration” with Patriarch Bartholomew I constitutes implicit recognition of Eastern heresies. When antipope Leo XIV signs documents with a schismatic, he betrays Boniface VIII’s Unam Sanctam (1302) which declares submission to the Roman Pontiff “absolutely necessary for salvation.” Their condemnation of “using religion to justify violence” deliberately omits the Church’s traditional doctrine of bellum iustum (just war), reducing the Faith to pacifist sentimentalism. This echoes Benedict XV’s failed diplomacy during WWI, condemned by St. Pius X as “political Modernism.”
Sacrilegious Mimicry: Novus Ordo “Mass” as Protestant Assembly
The Volkswagen Arena gathering exemplifies the conciliar sect’s liturgical destruction. The Novus Ordo ritual – designed by Annibale Bugnini’s Masonic committee – lacks essential sacrificial elements, as Cardinal Ottaviani’s Critical Study of the New Order of Mass (1969) demonstrated. Pius V’s Quo Primum (1570) anathematized anyone altering the Mass, yet antipope Leo XIV celebrates this invalid simulacrum before thousands of deceived souls. The venue’s corporate branding (Volkswagen Arena) completes the desacralization, fulfilling Marx’s prediction of religion becoming “a mere commercial transaction.”
Theological Analysis of Omissions: Silence as Dogmatic Heresy
Throughout the report, the VaticanNews portal deliberately avoids:
- Mention of Christ’s Kingship over nations (contra Pius XI’s Quas Primas)
- Reference to the Social Reign of the Sacred Heart (contra Leo XIII’s Annum Sacrum)
- Warning against receiving “communion” in invalid rites (contrary to Trent’s Decree on the Eucharist)
- Distinction between Catholic truth and non-Catholic errors (violating Pius X’s Lamentabili)
This calculated silence proves the conciliar sect’s adherence to Paul VI’s directive at the closing of Vatican II: “The old theology of common good is dead; we have other tasks now.”
Genealogy of Apostasy: From Roncalli to Bergoglio’s Successor
Antipope Leo XIV’s actions manifest the haeresis modernismi (heresy of Modernism) condemned by St. Pius X:
- Religious experience replacing dogma (mosque “prayer”)
- Evolution of dogma (Orthodox treated as true Church)
- Democratization (arena “Mass” as people’s assembly)
The trajectory began with John XXIII’s embrace of Turkish Muslims in 1958, accelerated through Paul VI’s pagan offering at the Pantheon (1965), and achieves its logical conclusion in this Turkish syncretism. As Archbishop Lefebvre warned in 1988: “They are building a new religion, a sort of humanism with Christian veneer.”
Conclusion: Eclipse of the Faith in the Land of Arianism
That this apostasy unfolds in Turkey – where Arius first denied Christ’s divinity – reveals providential symbolism. As St. Athanasius resisted fourth-century heresy, true Catholics must reject this Bergoglian successor and his pantheistic anti-church. Let us heed Pius XII’s warning: “The smoke of Satan has entered the sanctuary” (1972), and flee these sacrilegious rites as Our Lady commanded at Quito (1634): “Woe to the world should it permit modernist errors to enter the Church!”
