The Empty Spectacle of Vatican’s Naturalized Christmas
The Catholic News Agency portal (December 18, 2025) reports on a “surprise visit” by antipope Leo XIV to a Christmas concert at the Paul VI Pontifical School in Castel Gandolfo. The article describes children singing carols in multiple languages, Leo XIV receiving a tennis racket gift, and his speech invoking St. Augustine’s alleged saying that “he who loves, sings.” The performance occurred in a gymnasium before parents and conciliar officials, with the antipope urging listeners to “proclaim peace, love, and unity in the world.” This spectacle epitomizes the conciliar sect’s reduction of Christianity to emotional naturalism devoid of supernatural substance.
Naturalism Masquerading as Christmas Joy
The report’s emphasis on Leo XIV’s “enormous smile” and the tennis racket gift symbolizes the conciliar sect’s complete inversion of priorities. Where Pius XI’s encyclical Quas primas declared that “the empire of our Redeemer embraces all men” (n.18), this event reduces the Incarnation to a feel-good social gathering. The gymnasium setting itself constitutes a sacrilegious substitution – replacing the Ecclesia Dei (Church of God) with the ecclesia mundi (church of the world).
“Hearing these children sing like this in all these languages helps us understand how Christmas awakens in the hearts of all of us a joy, a peace, a truly important message”
This statement exposes the modernist heresy condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili (Proposition 22): That dogmas are merely interpretations of religious facts rather than divine truths. By framing Christmas as a generic “message” rather than the historical Incarnation of the Second Person of the Trinity, the antipope denies the Verbum caro factum est (the Word was made flesh) dogma defined at Ephesus.
The Betrayal of Augustinian Theology
The misappropriation of St. Augustine’s “Qui cantat, bis orat” (He who sings prays twice) as “he who loves, sings” constitutes theological malpractice. Augustine’s actual doctrine appears in Enarrationes in Psalmos: “Cantare amantis est” (Singing belongs to one who loves) – with love defined as caritas (supernatural charity), not naturalistic emotion. The Doctor of Grace would condemn this abuse as the abusus in fide (abuse in faith) warned against in Pius IX’s Syllabus (Proposition 15).
Silence on the Kingship of Christ
Nowhere does Leo XIV mention Christ’s sovereignty – an omission directly contradicting Pius XI’s mandate that “rulers and princes must obey Christ” (Quas primas, n.32). The conciliar sect’s fixation on “peace, love, and unity” while ignoring the Regnum Christi (Kingship of Christ) fulfills Pius X’s warning about modernist “reformers” who “lay the axe not to the branches… but to the very root” (Pascendi, n.39).
The Masonic Language of Syncretism
Multilingual carols presented as “unity” symbolism align perfectly with the conciliar sect’s religious relativism condemned in the Syllabus (Proposition 16-18). The event’s choreography – occurring under the presidency of Archbishop Giordano Piccinotti, president of APSA (Vatican’s financial office) – reveals the true nature of this spectacle: A public relations exercise for the paramasonic occupation of Holy Church.
Conclusion: Christmas Without Redemption
The complete absence of references to Christ’s sacrificial death, the necessity of sacramental confession before Christmas Communion (Lateran IV Canon 21), or the four last things constitutes spiritual malpractice. This naturalized “Christmas” fulfills Pius X’s diagnosis: “The modernists substitute for the divine reality a reality purely human” (Pascendi, n.38). Until the restoration of the Roman Papacy and the integral Catholic Faith, such spectacles will remain what St. Pius X called “the suicide of altering the Faith” (Allocution to Conclave, 1903).
