The Vacant Throne’s Hollow Homily on Family Values
The conciliar sect’s figurehead, Mr. Robert Prevost (styled as “Pope Leo XIV”), recently addressed crowds in St. Peter’s Square on the Feast of the Holy Family. The VaticanNews portal (December 28, 2025) reports his call for families to “cherish the values of the Gospel” and protect the “flame of love” against modern societal ills. This theatrical performance before empty chairs exposes the spiritual bankruptcy of the counterfeit church occupying Rome.
Naturalistic Reduction of the Holy Family
The antipope’s message reduces the Holy Family to a mere sociological model, stating:
“In Egypt, the flame of domestic love, to which the Lord has entrusted his presence in the world, grows and gains strength in order to bring light to the whole world.”
This sentimentalized narrative contradicts St. Pius X’s warning in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907) against dissolving supernatural realities into naturalistic psychology. The authentic Catholic understanding recognizes the Holy Family as theandric – a living icon of the Trinity’s inner life, not a self-help manual for emotional fulfillment.
The address omits the Holy Family’s essential mission: to prepare Christ the King for His public ministry of establishing Regnum Christi over all nations. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) expressly declares: “Nations will be happy when both individuals and governments submit to the rule of our Savior.” Prevost’s silence on this royal dimension exposes his sect’s rebellion against the Social Kingship of Christ.
Sacramental Subterfuge and Invalid Rites
Most egregiously, the antipope recommends “frequent reception of the sacraments, especially confession and Communion” without warning that the conciliar sect’s rituals lack validity. The 1947 apostolic constitution Sacramentum Ordinis established the essential form for Holy Orders as: “Da, quaesumus, omnipotens Pater, in hunc famulum tuum Presbyterii dignitatem…” The new rite of Paul VI (1968) abolished this form, rendering all subsequent “ordinations” null and void. When Prevost speaks of sacraments, he deceives souls into sacrilegious participation in invalid rites – a spiritual poison condemned by the Council of Trent (Session VII, Canon 11).
Theological Vacuum Where Doctrine Should Reside
Analysis of Prevost’s vocabulary reveals systematic doctrinal evasion:
- “Values of the Gospel” replaces fides quae creditur (the faith which is believed) with subjectivist ethics
- “Flame of love” substitutes emotive language for the theological virtue of charity (caritas)
- “Healthy affections” displaces the Cross-centered spirituality of mortification taught by Saints like John of the Cross
This linguistic corruption follows the modernist playbook condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane Exitu (1907), which rejected the proposition that “Truth changes with man, because it develops with him, in him, and through him” (Proposition 58). The antipope’s exhortation to “sincere dialogue” constitutes explicit endorsement of the condemned error of religious indifferentism (Pius IX, Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 15).
The Missing Foundation: Christ the King
The entire address lacks any reference to families’ primary duty: submission to Christ’s universal kingship. While quoting Herod’s massacre of innocents, Prevost ignores its prophetic significance – the world’s hatred for Christ the King manifested through all regimes rejecting His sovereignty. Pius XI’s Quas Primas established the feast of Christ the King precisely to combat the “plague of anti-clericalism” and “the forces of disorder” that Prevost’s conciliar sect now serves.
The true Catholic response to modern Herods isn’t vacuous talk about “family values,” but militant consecration to the Sacred Heart – the divine emblem of Christ’s royal authority over families and nations. As Pope Leo XIII declared in Annum Sacrum (1899): “There is no difference between individuals, families, and nations because the rule of Christ extends to all.”
Conclusion: A Counterfeit Shepherd’s Empty Words
Prevost’s Angelus performance exemplifies the conciliar sect’s fundamental error: treating Christianity as a humanitarian philosophy rather than the one true religion established by God Incarnate. When he claims that Christian homes should be “an instrument of salvation in God’s hands,” he blasphemously implies that the counterfeit sect he heads possesses salvific power – a direct contradiction of the dogma Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus (Outside the Church There Is No Salvation) defined at the Fourth Lateran Council (1215).
The true remnant of Catholic families must reject these empty words and heed Pius XI’s warning in Quas Primas: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony.” Until the Roman See is occupied by a true successor of Peter, all “papal” exhortations remain but echoes in a vacant palace.
