Advent Meditation Distorts Catholic Eschatology with Modernist Deceptions
Vatican News portal reports on an Advent meditation delivered by Roberto Pasolini, “preacher” of the “papal household,” attended by “Pope” Leo XIV on December 5, 2025. The meditation reduces Advent expectation to naturalistic humanism by claiming “the Church is called to remain a sacrament of salvation in an era of change,” emphasizing social reconstruction over supernatural judgment. The text exhibits classic Modernist tendencies by replacing depositum fidei (the deposit of faith) with evolutionary immanentism, framing salvation as collective societal healing rather than individual redemption from sin.
