Conciliar Sect’s Hollow “Peace” Appeal Exposes Apostate Naturalism
Vatican News portal (December 23, 2025) reports that antipope Leo XIV (“Robert Prevost”) appealed for “24 hours of peace worldwide at Christmas” during a press encounter at Castel Gandolfo. The article quotes his generic disappointment over Illinois’ assisted suicide law and his diplomatic remarks on Ukraine and Gaza, framing these as moral concerns while avoiding any call for repentance or acknowledgment of Christ’s sovereignty.
Theological Bankruptcy of Naturalistic “Peace”
The antipope’s appeal reduces peace to a temporal ceasefire, stating: “that, at least on the feast of the birth of the Saviour, one day of peace may be respected”. This contradicts Pius XI’s definitive teaching: “The peace of Christ can only be in the Kingdom of Christ” (Quas Primas, §1). By omitting the essential condition of societal submission to Christ the King, the conciliar sect perpetuates the modernist heresy condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (§77-80), which denounced the separation of civil governance from Catholic truth.
Diplomatic Cowardice Masks Apostasy
The article reveals the Vatican apparatus’ servility to secular power structures. Regarding Ukraine, the antipope laments:
“Truly, among the things that cause me great sadness […] Russia has apparently refused the request for a Christmas truce.”
This moral equivalence between aggressor and defender echoes Paul VI’s disastrous Ostpolitik, condemned by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre as “capitulation to Marxist tyranny”. Authentic Catholic teaching demands unambiguous defense of persecuted Christians, not diplomatic neutrality that betrays the martyrs’ blood.
Assisted Suicide “Disappointment” Versus Dogmatic Condemnation
The antipope’s muted reaction to Illinois’ euthanasia law—“I am very disappointed by this”—contrasts violently with Pius XII’s doctrinal precision: “No human authority has the right to permit even a single act of direct killing” (Address to Catholic Jurists, 1949). Where true popes issued anathemas (Council of Trent, Session XXV), conciliar usurpers offer sentimental soundbites that normalize culture-of-death legislation.
Gaza Visit Canonizes Syncretism
The glowing reference to Cardinal Pizzaballa’s Gaza visit exemplifies the conciliar sect’s religious indifferentism. While claiming concern for Gaza’s Christians, the article omits that the Vatican’s “dialogue” with Islam inherently denies Christ’s exclusive mediation (Acts 4:12). Pius XI’s Mortalium Animos demolished this error: “The unity of Christians can only be achieved by fostering return to the one true Church” (§10).
Systemic Omissions Confirm Modernist Agenda
Four fatal silences expose the article’s apostate foundations:
1. No invocation of Christ’s Kingship: The word “King” appears zero times despite the Christmas context, rejecting Quas Primas’ mandate for civil leaders to “publicly honor and obey Christ” (§32).
2. No call for conversion: The antipope addresses “people of good will” (Vatican II’s paganized terminology) rather than commanding baptism as the sole path to peace (Mark 16:16).
3. No distinction between just and unjust wars: Ukraine’s defense against Russian aggression is morally equated with Hamas terrorism, violating Augustine’s bellum iustum principles.
4. No reference to eternal judgment: The assisted suicide commentary ignores the eternal consequences of mortal sin, reducing morality to emotional “disappointment”.
Conclusion: False Peace for a False Church
This Vatican News piece epitomizes the conciliar sect’s systematic betrayal of Catholic integralism. Its naturalistic “peace” appeal—divorced from the Social Reign of Christ—constitutes spiritual treason against the Regnum Christi that alone guarantees order. As St. Pius X warned: “The modernists substitute for faith a sentiment grounded in man alone” (Pascendi Dominici Gregis, §10). True Catholics recognize this synthetic “peace” as the silence of the tomb—a diabolical counterfeit that mocks the Prince of Peace born to rule nations with an iron scepter (Psalm 2:9).
