Vatican Labor Reforms Mask Deeper Apostasy from Christ’s Social Kingship

The Catholic News Agency portal reports on new labor regulations issued by “Pope” Leo XIV’s Office of Labor of the Apostolic See (ULSA), claiming they “strengthen protections” for Vatican employees through enhanced conciliation procedures and expanded bureaucratic representation. The November 25 decree mandates dialogue before litigation, establishes five-year statutes of limitations, and adds four new entities to ULSA’s advisory council – including the Vicariate of Rome and Pension Fund. Vatican sources describe this as promoting a more “synodal working style,” coinciding with broader Roman Curia reforms. The article presents this as benevolent progress while omitting any reference to the supernatural ends of labor or Christ’s kingship over societies.

State Department’s Visa Plan Capitulates to Modernist Compromise

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

Catholic News Agency reports (December 19, 2025) that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced plans for a “standalone process” for religious worker visas to address backlogs allegedly caused by fraud in immigration programs. The article frames this as relief for clergy shortages, quoting a USCCB spokesperson expressing gratitude for the administration’s attention to “important issue for the Church” to ensure “access to the sacraments.” Rubio claims the plan avoids denominational preference while acknowledging “some denominations are more professionalized” in documentation. The report mentions prior lawsuits by dioceses and warnings about priest shortages, framing immigration enforcement as a technical challenge rather than a matter of divine law.

Migration Idolatry Masquerading as Catholic Art

The Catholic News Agency reported on December 19, 2025, that “Bishop” Michael Pham dedicated a sculpture titled “Angels Unawares” at the University of San Diego. This 8-foot bronze replica of a statue originally commissioned by anti-pope Bergoglio for St. Peter’s Square depicts 140 migrants on a boat with angel wings. USD President Jim Harris claims it reminds viewers to care for “poor and vulnerable communities,” while Vice President Michael Lovette-Colyer boasted it makes the campus “a welcoming place” near the Mexican border. The sculpture’s Canadian creator Timothy Schmalz – known for his blasphemous “Homeless Jesus” installations – admitted the work was developed in consultation with “Cardinal” Michael Czerny, architect of Bergoglian migration ideology. The dedication coincided with the UN’s International Migrants Day, with the university explicitly aligning itself with the “US Conference of ‘Bishops'” political advocacy on immigration.

Leo XIV’s Labor Address: Humanism Masquerading as Catholic Social Teaching

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

Vatican News portal reports that antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) addressed employment consultants on December 18, 2025, advocating for a labor system centered on “the person, the family, and their well-being” while decrying capital, market laws, and profit as secondary concerns. The address emphasized “the dignity of the person, mediation, and the promotion of safety,” urging businesses to become “humane and fraternal communities” amid technological advancements like artificial intelligence.

Bankruptcy of a Bishop: Symptom of Ecclesiastical Collapse

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The National Catholic Register reports on December 19, 2025, that Edward Scharfenberger, retired “bishop” of Albany, filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection following a $54.2 million civil judgment against him and other officials for the collapse of the St. Clare’s Hospital pension fund. A jury found Scharfenberger 10% liable for leaving 1,100 retirees without promised benefits. The Diocese of Albany, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2023 over abuse lawsuits, was absolved of liability. Scharfenberger’s filing lists debts up to $10 million against assets under $500,000. His successor, Mark O’Connell, stated the diocese “cannot pay a billion dollars” and that bankruptcy mediators would determine “what’s fair” for creditors. The report exemplifies the conciliar sect’s disintegration into financial and moral insolvency.

Colorado’s Preschool Funding Dispute Exposes Conciliar Sect’s Surrender to Secular Power

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The Catholic News Agency portal (December 19, 2025) reports on the “US Conference of Catholic Bishops” (“USCCB”) and Colorado Catholic families petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to include Catholic preschools in the state’s universal preschool funding program. The Archdiocese of Denver and affiliated schools seek access to taxpayer funds despite Colorado’s exclusion of institutions requiring adherence to Catholic teachings on sexuality and gender. The article frames this as a religious liberty issue, quoting “USCCB” claims that exclusion creates a “roadmap” for nationwide First Amendment violations. Amicus briefs from Lutheran, Evangelical, Jewish, and Muslim groups are cited as evidence of broad interfaith support.

Leo XIV’s Preface Exposes Modernist Subversion of True Spirituality

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The Catholic News Agency portal (December 19, 2025) reports that “Pope Leo XIV” has written a preface to Brother Lawrence’s The Practice of the Presence of God, calling it “one of the texts that has most shaped my spiritual life.” The antipope describes this 17th-century work as presenting “a type of prayer and spirituality where one simply gives his life to the Lord and allows the Lord to lead,” claiming it overcomes “all moralism and every reduction of the Gospel to a mere set of rules.” This endorsement constitutes a radical departure from Catholic ascetic theology in favor of subjectivist pietism.

Vatican Preacher Promotes Religious Indifferentism in Advent Meditation

Leave a Comment / Antichurch / amdg

The Vatican News portal reports on the third Advent meditation delivered by Roberto Pasolini, the Preacher of the Papal Household, before antipope Leo XIV and the Roman Curia on December 19, 2025. Titled “The Universality of Salvation: A Hope Without Conditions,” the sermon recycles modernist tropes of “encounter” and “journey” while systematically dismantling the Church’s missionary imperative. Pasolini claims Christ’s light “does not impose itself” and demands the Church abandon doctrinal clarity to “recognize that not everything belongs to her or can be controlled.” This deliberate confusion between divine truth and human searching epitomizes the apostate orientation of the conciliar sect.
