Bergoglian Syncretism Masquerades as Hope in Lebanon Visit
Vatican News portal (December 2, 2025) reports on antipope Leo XIV’s apostolic visit to Lebanon, framing it as a message of “hope” through interreligious coexistence and youth activism. The article highlights testimonies from a Christian woman who housed a Muslim family during conflict and the antipope’s call for young people to build peace through “love that crosses every boundary.” Leo XIV is quoted declaring: “The true opposition to evil is not evil, but love – a love capable of healing one’s own wounds while also caring for the wounds of others.” The commentary culminates in the assertion that Lebanon’s model of fraternity offers a “path toward peace” for the world, with antipope Leo XIV presented as a champion of this vision through his injunction to “disappear so that Christ may remain.” This narrative constitutes a total inversion of the Church’s missionary imperative, replacing the sine qua non of conversion to the One True Faith with a pantheistic humanitarianism.
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Faith
The article reduces Christianity to ethical sentimentalism, exemplified by Joelle’s claim: “God does not dwell only within the walls of a church or a mosque. God is revealed when different hearts meet and love one another as brothers and sisters.” This directly contradicts the dogmatic teaching of Pope Pius IX: “It is indeed of faith that no one can be saved outside the Apostolic Roman Church… but it is equally certain that those who are ignorant of the true religion, if that ignorance is invincible, are not guilty in the eyes of the Lord” (Quanto conficiamur moerore, 1863). By equating Muslim and Christian worship as equally valid encounters with God, the antipope’s speech violates the First Commandment and reduces the Incarnation to a mere symbol.
“You have the enthusiasm to change the course of history! The true opposition to evil is not evil, but love…”
This statement erases the necessity of doctrinal orthodoxy and the sacraments for salvation. As Pope Pius XI condemned: “This fond notion that all religions are more or less good and praiseworthy… results in the rejection of the true religion” (Mortalium Animos, 1928). The article’s repeated emphasis on “fraternity” untethered from Catholic identity mirrors the Masonic universalism condemned in Pope Leo XIII’s Humanum Genus (1884), which warned of efforts to establish “a universal republic based on liberty and equality.”
Erasure of the Church’s Redemptive Mission
Antipope Leo XIV’s call to “disappear so that Christ may remain” inverts the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). The Church exists precisely to make Christ visible through her teachings, sacraments, and hierarchy – not to dissolve into secular activism. Pope Pius XII definitively taught: “The Church is by divine institution the sole depository and interpreter of the whole moral law, not merely that which concerns matters of faith, but also of morals” (Ci riesce, 1953). By celebrating a Muslim woman’s declaration that “religion is not something you declare; it is something you live,” the conciliar sect promotes the Modernist heresy equating religious sentiment with divine revelation – condemned by St. Pius X as “the synthesis of all heresies” (Pascendi Dominici Gregis, 1907).
The article’s silence on Lebanon’s catastrophic apostasy – where Catholics now comprise less than 30% of the population compared to 86% in 1932 – exposes the bankruptcy of this false ecumenism. Rather than urging conversion, antipope Leo XIV praises coexistence as an end in itself, fulfilling Pope Pius IX’s prophecy: “The enemies of divine revelation… pretend that all religions are equally good” (Qui pluribus, 1846).
Distortion of Charity Into Revolutionary Praxis
When Roukaya claims her Christian hosts “did not ask who I was, where I came from, or what I believed,” this is presented as virtuous rather than spiritually negligent. True Catholic charity requires both material aid and spiritual truth, as Pope Benedict XV taught: “The Church does not only carry the Gospel to the peoples, but she leads them also to the benefits of civilization… without ever separating the one from the other” (Maximum Illud, 1919). The conciliar sect’s selective “mercy” abandons souls to heresy, violating the Church’s raison d’être.
The focus on youth “changing the course of history” through activism replaces sanctification with social engineering. Contrast this with Pope Pius X’s instruction: “The primary and principal office of the young is to devote themselves to studies and to the duties of piety… the enemies of the Church use every means to make the young their own” (Pieni L’Animo, 1906). Lebanon’s collapse into sectarian violence – directly resulting from secular pluralism – demonstrates the futility of building society on sand rather than the Rock of Peter (Matthew 7:24-27).
Omission of Lebanon’s True Catholic Legacy
Nowhere does the article mention Lebanon’s historical identity as the “only Arab country without a Muslim majority” (1932 census) or its pre-1958 Catholic institutions like Université Saint-Esprit de Kaslik. This deliberate amnesia serves the conciliar agenda of replacing Christendom with globalist governance. Pope Leo XIII’s warning resonates: “When society is perishing… the remedy is to recall it to the principles from which it sprang” (Rerum Novarum, 1891). Instead, antipope Leo XIV offers the poison of indifferentism as medicine.
The complete absence of references to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, Eucharistic adoration, or devotion to Our Lady of Lebanon exposes this visit’s anti-supernatural character. True hope flows from the Sacraments, not UN-style “dialogue” – a truth enshrined in Pope Pius XI’s establishment of Christ the King’s feast: “When once men recognize… that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony” (Quas Primas, 1925).
Conclusion: Apostasy Cloaked in Sentimentality
This spectacle epitomizes the conciliar sect’s abandonment of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus. As the anti-pope praises Muslims for “living religion” through works while denying Christ’s divinity, he fulfills St. Pius X’s condemnation: “The Modernist sustains and propagates the error that faith is a blind religious feeling… rushing into the arms of atheism and agnosticism” (Lamentabili Sane, 1907). Lebanon’s descent into chaos – financial collapse, Hezbollah domination, mass emigration of Christians – stands as divine judgment against those who replace the Cross with the circle of interfaith “brotherhood.” Only a return to the unadulterated Faith can restore hope – not the blasphemous pantheism peddled by Vatican occupiers.
