Jubilee Tourism Masquerade: When False Piety Replaces True Pilgrimage
VaticanNews portal (December 15, 2025) promotes Elizabeth Lev’s interview celebrating tourism workers as “bridge-builders” during the “Jubilee Year.” The article frames their torchlight procession and Mass as spiritually significant while praising their role in facilitating “tens of millions of pilgrims.” Lev claims tour guides act as modern *Pontifex Maximus* figures, interpreting Rome’s “deep spirituality” for visitors. This celebration culminates in a collective passage through the counterfeit “Holy Door” of St. Peter’s Basilica under the usurper Leo XIV. Such theatrical pageantry exemplifies the conciliar sect’s substitution of sacramental grace with emotional manipulation.
Naturalistic Reduction of Pilgrimage to Tourism
The article’s central heresy lies in equating pilgrimage with tourism. Lev declares:
“We have had tens of millions of pilgrims coming to the city of Rome… We are working very hard to be the best bridge and the best face we can for the Catholic Church.”
This blasphemous reduction ignores *Quas Primas* (Pius XI, 1925), which taught that Christ’s Kingship demands public submission of nations, not consumerist spectacles. True pilgrimage requires penance (Canon 1250, 1917 Code), not the self-congratulatory “warm, fuzzy” experiences Lev describes. The Syllabus of Errors condemned precisely this relativism: “The Church ought to be separated from the State” (Error #55) and “the Roman Pontiff can… come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Error #80).
False Ecumenism Disguised as “Bridge-Building”
Lev’s claim that guides serve as “bridge-builders” between cultures exposes the conciliar sect’s apostasy. Mortalium Animos (Pius XI, 1928) explicitly forbade such indifferentism: “The union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ.” Yet the article boasts of tailoring Rome’s “rich history” to visitors’ subjective experiences – a modernist denial of objective truth condemned in Lamentabili Sane (1907): “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20).
The Usurper’s Invalid “Holy Door”
Most egregious is the promotion of Leo XIV’s counterfeit jubilee. The article states:
“Pass through the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica… to make this journey together… pass through the Holy door together.”
But according to *Cum ex Apostolatus Officio* (Paul IV, 1559), antipopes cannot confer indulgences or declare jubilees. The “Holy Door” ritual under modernist usurpers constitutes sacrilege, as the true Church endures only among those preserving the Depositum Fidei (1 Tim 6:20).
Omission of Supernatural Reality
Nowhere does the article mention sacramental confession, grace, or the Four Last Things – pillars of authentic jubilees. Instead, Lev reduces spiritual transformation to psychological “empathy” and feeling “secure, safe, elevated.” This Jansenist-tinged emotionalism contradicts the Council of Trent’s decree on justification, which requires actual grace through valid sacraments (Session VI, Canon 10).
Conclusion: Satanic Substitution of Sacrament for Spectacle
The tourism jubilee exemplifies the conciliar sect’s modus operandi: replacing the Unbloody Sacrifice with human-centered pageantry. As the Syllabus warned: “The Church is an enemy of the progress of natural and theological sciences” (Error #57) when “progress” means abandoning immutable doctrine. Until the Vatican occupiers repent and restore the integral Faith, all such events remain spiritual poison disguised as piety.
