Conciliar Sect’s New Year Homily Exposes Apostate Naturalism
The VaticanNews portal (December 31, 2025) reports on the final General Audience of “Pope” Leo XIV, which presented a syncretistic vision of the transition to the new year. The address exhorted the faithful to “entrust everything to God’s mercy,” mixing fragments of Catholic vocabulary with revolutionary concepts of universal brotherhood and salvation without conversion.
Naturalization of the Supernatural
The text reduces the act of thanksgiving to a psychological exercise devoid of doctrinal substance:
“…reflect on what the Lord has done for us over the past year… examine our consciences honestly… asking forgiveness for all the times we have failed to treasure his inspirations…”
This language deliberately avoids the Catholic understanding of sin as offense against God (Psalm 50:6) and repentance as metanoia – a complete turning away from sin through sacramental confession (Council of Trent, Session XIV). The invocation of “inspirations” and “talents” replaces the theology of grace with humanistic self-help, echoing the Modernist error condemned by St. Pius X: “Faith is based on religious experience, not on adherence to immutable truth” (Pascendi Dominici Gregis, 1907).
The Paganization of Pilgrimage
The description of Jubilee pilgrims reveals the conciliar sect’s abandonment of the Church’s missionary essence:
“Countless pilgrims have come from all over the world to pray at the Tomb of Peter and to confirm their adherence to Christ.”
Not a single mention is made of conversion – the very purpose of Christian pilgrimage as defined by Our Lord (Mark 16:15). The reduction of adherence to Christ to a subjective “confirmation” rather than objective truth constitutes apostasy from the dogmatic constitution Dei Filius (Vatican I), which anathematized those claiming “divine revelation is to be adjusted to the evolving consciousness of mankind.”
Sacrilegious Equivalence in the Holy Door Ritual
The article’s treatment of the Holy Door exemplifies the neo-church’s sacramental vandalism:
“Crossing the threshold expresses our ‘yes’ to God… to cross the threshold of a new life, animated by grace…”
This blasphemously equates a man-made ritual with the sacrament of Baptism, which alone grants new life in Christ (John 3:5). The Council of Trent infallibly defined that sacraments “contain the grace they signify and confer it on those who place no obstacle” (Session VII). By inventing sacramental efficacy for architecture, the conciliar sect fulfills Pius IX’s warning about those who “place monument on monument and rite on rite” while undermining true worship (Qui Pluribus, 1846).
The Heresy of Universal Salvation
The address reaches its theological nadir in quoting “Saint Leo the Great”:
“Let the saint rejoice… let the sinner rejoice… let the pagan take courage, because he is called to life.”
This universalist distortion diametrically opposes the true teaching of Pope St. Leo I: “Outside the Church there is no true propitiation, no salutary penance” (Sermon 129). The authentic Catholic position was codified at Florence: “No one remaining outside the Catholic Church… can become partakers of eternal life” (Cantate Domino, 1442). The article’s omission of Christ’s exclusive mediation (Acts 4:12) constitutes material heresy.
Love Without Truth: The Masonic Creed
The conclusion reveals the conciliar sect’s foundational error through its citation of Paul VI:
“God is Love! God awaited me!… God is mercy! God is forgiveness! God is salvation!”
This sentimental reductionism erases the inseparable connection between God’s mercy and His justice. The Syllabus of Errors condemns precisely this dissolution of dogma: “God’s mercy excuses habitual sin without conversion” (Error 5, Syllabus, 1864). True Catholic teaching maintains with St. Augustine that “God created us without us, but will not save us without us” (Sermon 169).
Omission of Christ the King
Most damning is the complete absence of any reference to Christ’s social kingship – the very remedy for the “scenarios of war” the article bemoans. Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925) established the feast precisely to combat secularism, declaring: “Nations will be happy only when they obey Christ’s laws.” The conciliar sect’s silence on this dogma exposes its allegiance to the Masonic ideal of religious indifferentism condemned in Humanum Genus (Leo XIII, 1884).
The analyzed text constitutes spiritual poison wrapped in Christian terminology. Its theology of universal salvation without conversion, its sacramental fraudulence, and its denial of Christ’s kingship collectively embody St. Pius X’s warning: “Modernism is the synthesis of all heresies” (Pascendi, 1). Only a return to the unchanging Magisterium can restore true hope to a world in rebellion against its King.
