Apostolic Betrayal in Beirut: Conciliar Sect Promotes Religious Indifferentism
Catholic News Agency reports on antipope Leo XIV’s December 1, 2025 ecumenical gathering in Beirut, Lebanon, where he declared that Lebanon’s religious diversity proves “unity and peace can be achieved” through interfaith dialogue. The event featured joint Islamic-Christian prayers, Quranic recitations, and an olive tree planting ceremony with leaders of Sunni, Shia, Druze, Alawite, and various pseudo-Christian sects. This spectacle exemplifies the conciliar sect’s complete abandonment of Catholic missionary imperative.
Ecumenism as Apostasy: From Mortalium Animos to Conciliar Syncretism
The article celebrates how “minarets and bell towers stand side by side” as evidence of interreligious harmony. This sacrilegious equivalence directly violates Pope Pius XI’s condemnation: “Religious indifferentism is based on the false opinion that all religions are more or less good… The Catholic Church alone is the one true Church” (Encyclical Mortalium Animos, 1928). By invoking Vatican II’s Nostra Aetate – a document never ratified by any pre-conciliar pope – antipope Leo perpetuates the conciliar revolution’s foundational error: replacing extra Ecclesiam nulla salus with universalist heresy.
When the article claims Lebanon shows “unity, reconciliation, and peace can take root even amid profound differences,” it promotes the condemned proposition that “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” (Pius IX, Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 17). The Second Council of Lyon (1274) and Florence (1442) dogmatically defined that pagans, Jews, heretics, and schismatics “will go into the eternal fire” unless unified with Rome before death.
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Mission
Antipope Leo’s appeal to “shared humanity” as the basis for dialogue exposes the conciliar sect’s naturalist reduction of religion. The article notes his praise for Lebanon’s ability to foster peace “within their borders and throughout the world” – a purely temporal concern diametrically opposed to Christ’s command to “teach all nations” (Matthew 28:19). As Pius XI declared in Quas Primas, nations rejecting Christ’s social reign become “tormented by a restless instability, wretchedly seeking an illusory happiness in a futile search here and there.”
The ceremony’s structure confirms this naturalism:
“The program included chanting from the Gospel, a moment of silence, and chanting from the Quran… participants planted an olive tree and ended with a final prayer for peace.”
This sacrilegious parity between Divine Revelation and Islamic texts fulfills Pius X’s warning in Lamentabili Sane against those who “equate Holy Scripture with purely human documents” (Proposition 12). The “prayer for peace” divorced from submission to Christ the King constitutes blasphemous presumption, for “there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
Omission of Catholic Non-Negotiables
Nowhere does the article mention:
1. Christ’s exclusive mediation (1 Timothy 2:5)
2. The necessity of baptism (John 3:5)
3. Islam’s denial of Christ’s divinity
4. The Church’s duty to convert non-Catholics
This silence exposes the conciliar sect’s abandonment of Regnans in Excelsis (1570), where St. Pius V anathematized those claiming “jurisdiction comes not from God but from men.” The article’s reference to Lebanon’s “complex sectarian power-sharing structure” tacitly endorses pluralism condemned by Leo XIII as making “the State godless” (Immortale Dei, 1885).
Masonic Symbolism in Ritual
The olive tree planting ceremony parallels Masonic “fraternity” rituals promoting natural religion. St. Pius VIII’s 1829 condemnation of secret societies warned that such syncretic gestures “aim at the overthrow of the entire religious, political, and social order based on Christian institutions.” The joint Quran-Bible reading fulfills Pius IX’s prophecy about enemies who “place the Bible of the Christians on the same level as the Koran of the Mohammedans” (Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 16).
Conclusion: Apostasy Institutionalized
This Beirut spectacle constitutes public apostasy under Canon 2314 of the 1917 Code, which defines as excommunicated those who “publicly defect from the Catholic faith.” As the article admits, antipope Leo’s message derives from Benedict XVI – himself an antipope – proving the conciliar sect’s continuity in heresy. True Catholics remember Pius XI’s uncompromising stance: “If the faithful were generally to become convinced that they could freely tolerate error without being guilty of neglect… who would safeguard the purity of the faith?” (Mortalium Animos, §10). Lebanon’s crisis stems not from lack of interfaith dialogue, but from abandoning Christ’s Social Kingship. Only through instaurare omnia in Christo (Ephesians 1:10) can nations find true peace.
