Vatican News Portal Promotes Illegitimate Gathering of False Cardinals
Vatican News (December 20, 2025) reports on an “Extraordinary Consistory” convened by “Pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) for January 7-8, 2026. The article describes the event as fostering “communion and fraternity” while offering “support and counsel” to the antipope in his “governance of the universal Church.” The gathering follows the closure of the “Holy Door” at St. Peter’s Basilica on Epiphany – a ritual instituted by John XXIII that sacrilegiously equates conciliar revolution with Jubilee grace.
Simulated Hierarchy Lacks Divine Mandate
The very notion of a “College of Cardinals” advising the usurper of Peter’s throne constitutes a grotesque parody of ecclesiastical structure. As Pius XII’s Vacantis Apostolicae Sedis (1945) established, cardinals derive authority solely from union with a valid Roman Pontiff – an office vacant since Pius XII’s death. The claim that these “cardinals” can offer legitimate counsel ignores Bellarmine’s doctrine: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope” (De Romano Pontifice 2:30). The “lofty and weighty responsibility” mentioned belongs not to Bergoglio’s successor, but to Christ alone, whose Social Kingship the conciliar sect denies (Pius XI, Quas Primas).
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Mission
The consistory’s stated purpose –
“reflection, sharing, and prayer”
– exposes the neo-church’s abandonment of divinely instituted hierarchy. Contrast this with Pius IX’s condemnation: “The Church is not a true and perfect society, entirely free” (Syllabus of Errors, §19). True cardinals would defend dogma, not engage in Protestant-style discernment circles. The article’s repeated emphasis on “fraternity” echoes Freemasonic ideals condemned in Leo XIII’s Humanum Genus, while omitting any reference to the sine qua non of ecclesiastical authority: preservation of apostolic faith.
Epiphany Sacrilege Compounds Apostasy
By scheduling this spectacle after the “Holy Door” ritual, the conciliar sect completes its diabolical symmetry: just as Vatican II’s false ecumenism opened gates to heresy (contra Pius IX’s Quanta Cura), this pseudo-consistory seals their rejection of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus. The original Holy Door rite symbolized Christ as sole mediator (1 Tim 2:5); the conciliar version sacrilegiously implies multiple paths to salvation. As the Syllabus declares: “Good hope at least is to be entertained of the eternal salvation of all those who are not at all in the true Church of Christ” (§17) – a condemned proposition now standard conciliar doctrine.
Structural Heresy in Word and Deed
The article’s language betrays the neo-church’s modernist foundation:
- “Universal Church” redefined to mean conciliar sect rather than Mystical Body united in professed faith (Pius XII, Mystici Corporis)
- “Governance” stripped of its munus regendi to become bureaucratic management
- “Collaboration” replacing hierarchical obedience (Contra Vatican I’s Pastor Aeternus)
Nowhere does the text mention Christ’s Kingship, the Immaculate Heart’s triumph, or the Church’s duty to convert nations – only the vacuous “life and mission” relativism condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili (§65).
Conclusion: Diabolical Disorientation Institutionalized
This pseudo-consistory continues the conciliar revolution’s ultimate goal: replacing the Hierarchy established by Christ with a humanist parliament. As St. Pius X warned: “The Modernist sustains and propagates a philosophy from which proceed the errors of the Reformers” (Pascendi, §39). Traditional Catholics must recognize this gathering for what it is: not an ecclesiastical event, but a Satanic inversion preparing Antichrist’s throne. The true Church endures in catacombs, preserving the Mass and faith of all ages – ubi Petrus, ibi Ecclesia becomes ubi Tradition, ibi Ecclesia until a legitimate Pope returns.
