The Empty Rhetoric of Christmas: Neo-Modernist Subversion in Leo XIV’s Nativity Homily
VaticanNews portal (December 25, 2025) reports on a Christmas morning Mass celebrated by “pope” Leo XIV in St. Peter’s Basilica, the first such celebration since John Paul II. The homily claims that “humanity now speaks, crying out with God’s own desire to encounter us” through the Incarnation, framing peace as “already among you” if we listen to others’ fragility. The “pope” reduces Bethlehem to a symbol of modern refugee tents while omitting the Kingship of Christ, the necessity of conversion, and the propitiatory sacrifice of Calvary. This vacuous performance exposes the conciliar sect’s complete abandonment of Catholic eschatology.
Reduction of the Incarnation to Social Activism
The homily’s core assertion – “since God’s Word became flesh, ‘humanity now speaks, crying out with God’s own desire to encounter us'” – inverts the Logos theology of St. John. Where the Apostle declares “the Word was made flesh” (John 1:14) to redeem fallen humanity, Leo XIV weaponizes the Nativity to deify human experience:
“‘flesh’ is the radical nakedness that, in Bethlehem as on Calvary, remains without words – just as so many brothers and sisters, stripped of their dignity and reduced to silence, have no words today.”
This blasphemous parallel between Calvary’s sacrifice and modern victimhood erases the ex opere operato efficacy of Christ’s Death. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) established that Christ’s Kingship demands “not only that individuals must obey Him, but that rulers and governments must also publicly honor and obey Him” – a truth conspicuously absent as the usurper invokes Gaza’s tents while ignoring Islam’s rejection of the Divine Messiah.
Naturalization of Peace: A Heretical Anthropology
The declaration that “peace is real, and is already among you” constitutes apostasy from Catholic soteriology. Peace – pax Christi – is not an immanent social condition but the fruit of submission to Christ the King. Leo XIV’s assertion echoes the Modernist heresy condemned in St. Pius X’s Lamentabili (1907), which rejected the notion that “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20).
When the antipope claims peace begins when “their pain shatters our rigid certainties,” he denies the Church’s immutable dogmas as obstacles to unity. Contrast this with Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864), which anathematized the proposition that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” (Proposition 80).
The False “Missionary Church” of Vatican II
Leo XIV’s call for a Church that “walk[s] together with the whole of humanity” on paths “traced out by the Word of God” is pure Modernist evolutionism. The conciliar sect’s “mission” replaces conversion with dialogue, fulfilling Paul VI’s 1965 prophecy at the UN: “We profess our respect for your religions… We do not wish to convert you.”
The true Catholic mission, defined by Boniface VIII’s Unam Sanctam (1302), demands submission to Roman jurisdiction for salvation. When the usurper states “the movement of the Incarnation is a dynamic of conversation,” he reduces the Eternal Word to a dialogical process – precisely the subjectivism condemned in Pius X’s Pascendi as “the evolution of dogma.”
Omissions That Condemn
Nowhere does the homily mention:
– The Kingship of Christ over nations (Quas Primas)
– The necessity of baptism for salvation (John 3:5; Council of Trent Session V)
– Mary’s Divine Motherhood, the Theotokos (Council of Ephesus)
– The Social Reign of Christ as the sole path to peace
This silence confirms the conciliar sect’s nature: a Masonic operation to replace the One True Church with a humanitarian NGO. As the true Church teaches through Leo XIII’s Annum Sacrum (1899): “The empire of Christ the King over men… demands unity of mind, agreement in sentiment, and conformity of action.”
The Fruits of Apostasy
Leo XIV’s Christmas message – devoid of repentance, judgment, or the Four Last Things – culminates the conciliar revolution’s goals:
1. Eradication of dogma: The Incarnation becomes a metaphor for “encounter”
2. Worship of humanity: “Fragility” replaces Original Sin as the human condition
3. Canonization of dialogue: Listening supersedes preaching as the Church’s mission
This homily is not Catholicism but the “synthesis of all heresies” (Pascendi, 39). When the usurper kneels before a Nativity scene stripped of kingship, he worships not the Infant God but the Antichrist’s nascent world religion.
