Vatican News portal reports on an Advent meditation delivered by Roberto Pasolini, “preacher” of the “papal household,” attended by “Pope” Leo XIV on December 5, 2025. The meditation reduces Advent expectation to naturalistic humanism by claiming “the Church is called to remain a sacrament of salvation in an era of change,” emphasizing social reconstruction over supernatural judgment. The text exhibits classic Modernist tendencies by replacing depositum fidei (the deposit of faith) with evolutionary immanentism, framing salvation as collective societal healing rather than individual redemption from sin.
Sacramental Theology Erased in Favor of Utopian Social Engineering
Pasolini’s assertion that “humanity needs not only to fulfill itself but to be saved” contains a heretical inversion of Catholic soteriology. The Church infallibly teaches that man cannot fulfill himself without sanctifying grace (Council of Trent, Session VI, Canon 2), yet the meditation reduces salvation to mere horizontal reconciliation: “longstanding injustices and wounded memories find healing.” This contradicts Pius IX’s condemnation in Quanta Cura of those who “place the salvation of the soul in social progress” (Syllabus of Errors, §63).
The preacher’s call to “erase evil” through social mechanisms ignores the sacramental economy: “Evil must not simply be forgiven. It must be erased, so that life can finally flourish.” This directly opposes Christ’s institution of Confession (John 20:23) and the Council of Trent’s definition that absolution removes sin ex opere operato (Session XIV, Chapter 3). By omitting the necessity of sacramental grace, Pasolini fosters the Modernist error condemned in Lamentabili Sane: “Faith is ultimately based on a sum of probabilities” (§25).
Naturalism Masquerading as Eschatology
Pasolini’s distortion of the Flood narrative exemplifies the conciliar sect’s rejection of supernatural causality. Claiming that “the flood is not simple destruction, but a transition of re-creation through a moment of de-creation,” he reduces Divine judgment to a “temporary change of the rules of the game.” This mocks Genesis 6:5-7, where God acts propter malitiam hominum (because of human wickedness), not as a cosmic reset button. Pius XII’s Humani Generis condemned such allegorizing of Scripture as undermining original sin (§38).
The meditation’s climax reveals its apostate foundation: “Only when man returns to living before the true face of God can history truly change.” This Pelagian formulation denies the necessity of Christ’s Kingship, condemned by Pius XI in Quas Primas: “Nations must be taught that they are bound to give obedience to Christ” (§18). By framing societal transformation as humanity’s achievement rather than Christ’s royal dominion, Pasolini commits the error denounced in the Anti-Modernist Oath: “Faith is not a blind sentiment of religion welling up from the hidden regions of the subconscious.”
Omissions Exposing Apostate Priorities
Nowhere does Pasolini mention:
1. The Four Last Things (Death, Judgment, Heaven, Hell), the traditional Advent focus
2. The necessity of sacramental confession to prepare for Christ’s coming
3. The Social Reign of Christ the King as the only solution to societal ills
Instead, he promotes the Bergoglian heresy of “Church as field hospital,” stating ministers must avoid “taking grace for granted.” This implies sacraments are mere communal rituals rather than channels of sanctifying grace, echoing Luther’s sola fide condemned at Trent. The appeal to Thomas Merton—a Trappist apostate who explored Zen Buddhism—as spiritual authority confirms the meditation’s diabolical orientation.
Structural Apostasy Embodied in Liturgical Parody
That this meditation occurred during the “Jubilee of Hope”—a neo-modernist invention—underscores its inherent fraudulence. True jubilees require a valid pope to open the Holy Door (Boniface VIII, Antiquorum habet), whereas antipopes lack jurisdiction to declare indulgences. Pasolini’s presence as “preacher” exemplifies St. Pius X’s warning: “Modernists have penetrated the very marrow of the Church” (Pascendi, §2).
The spectacle of “Pope” Leo XIV listening approvingly to this meditation fulfills Our Lady of La Salette’s prophecy: “Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist.” By replacing Advent’s penitential character with utopian delusions, the conciliar sect confirms itself as the ecclesia malignantium (church of the wicked) prophesied in Psalm 25:5.
