Vatican’s Political Theater Masks Apostasy in Ukraine Talks
Vatican News portal (December 9, 2025) reports that antipope Leo XIV met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Castel Gandolfo to discuss the Russo-Ukrainian war. The article states they addressed “the return of Ukrainian children taken to Russia,” prisoners of war, and the antipope’s “urgent hope” for “diplomatic efforts” toward “a just and lasting peace.” This marks their second meeting in five months, with the previous encounter involving similar themes. Zelenskyy reportedly expressed gratitude for the antipope’s support on the children’s repatriation issue.
Reduction of the Church’s Mission to Secular Diplomacy
The meeting exemplifies the conciliar sect’s complete inversion of the Church’s divine mission. Pius XI definitively taught in Quas Primas (1925) that “the Church cannot hope for a lasting peace among nations except by the return of society to the reign of Our Lord”. Yet the Vatican statement makes no mention of Christ’s Social Kingship, conversion of Russia from schism, or the need for nations to submit to divine law. Instead, it promotes the naturalistic fallacy that dialogue between warring parties – one persecuting the True Faith – can achieve “just peace.” This echoes the condemned modernist error that “the Church should adapt itself to modern liberties” (Pius IX, Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 80).
“discussions centered mainly on the war in Ukraine… the Pope reiterated the importance of ongoing dialogue and once again stressed his ‘urgent hope that ongoing diplomatic efforts will lead to a just and lasting peace’”
This statement constitutes apostasy by omission. Not a single reference is made to the spiritual roots of the conflict: Russia’s century-long persecution of Catholics, Ukraine’s forced subjugation to Moscow’s schismatics, or the Marxist errors infesting both nations. The antipope’s “hope” rests entirely on human negotiation – a direct rejection of Leo XIII’s teaching that “the reconciliation of nations can only arise from the same Christian law” (Praeclara Gratulationis, 1894).
Sacrilegious Equivalence Between Truth and Error
By framing the conflict as requiring “diplomatic efforts” between aggressor and victim, the conciliar Vatican implicitly validates Russia’s claims. This violates Pius IX’s condemnation of those who “place heretics on equal footing with Catholics” (Syllabus, Proposition 77). The article’s silence on Russia’s destruction of Ukrainian Greek-Catholic churches – which constituted 90% of Stalin’s 1946 pseudo-synod of Lviv – reveals the sect’s complicity in Orthodox persecution. Pius XII’s Orientales Omnes (1945) documented these crimes, yet today’s Vatican “diplomats” betray martyred Catholics by treating their persecutors as legitimate interlocutors.
Humanitarian Sentiment Over Spiritual Salvation
The focus on “ensuring the safe return of Ukrainian children” deliberately obscures their spiritual peril. These children are being indoctrinated in Russian Orthodox schism – a heresy condemned by Pius IX’s Ecclesiam Christi (1863). True charity would demand the Vatican excommunicate Russian hierarchs and demand the children’s return to Catholic baptism, not engage in secular negotiations. The article’s humanitarian language follows the modernist playbook condemned by St. Pius X: “They deny any immutable religious truth, reducing faith to evolving sentiment” (Lamentabili, Proposition 22).
Illegitimate Usurpation of Ecclesiastical Authority
Every aspect of this meeting confirms the Vatican structure’s apostate nature. Antipope Leo XIV – lacking valid papal election – presumes to act as a head of state, despite Pius XII’s teaching that “the Roman Pontiff is not a sovereign over civil affairs” but custodian of divine revelation (Mystici Corporis, 1943). The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 1556) reserves diplomatic negotiations to the Congregation for Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs, not personal antipapal theatrics. By hosting Zelenskyy at Castel Gandolfo – a papal residence – the antipope blasphemously simulates true papal authority.
Omission of Supernatural Realities
Nowhere does the article mention prayer, penance, or the Mass – the Church’s true weapons against war. Contrast this with Benedict XV’s 1917 plea for rosaries to end World War I, or Pius XII’s consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart in 1952. The conciliar sect’s silence on these means proves its adherence to the modernist tenet that “revelation cannot be perfected by supernatural help” (St. Pius X, Lamentabili, Proposition 21). When Zelenskyy thanks the antipope for “support,” he acknowledges a political ally – not the Vicar of Christ.
The Antichurch’s Ukraine diplomacy constitutes sacrilege against the lex orandi and lex credendi. Until Russia renounces Orthodoxy’s errors and Ukraine submits to Rome’s authority, no “dialogue” can bring peace. As the true Church taught through ages: Pax Christi in Regno Christi – “The Peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ.” All else is apostate theater.
