Jubilee Closure Masquerade: Modernist Subversion in Epiphany Liturgy
Vatican News portal (January 6, 2026) reports antipope Leo XIV concluded his “Jubilee Year of Hope” by closing St. Peter’s Holy Door before 5,800 attendees. His homily contrasted Magian joy with Herod’s fear, declaring: “In His presence nothing stays the same” and urging the “conciliar sect” to become a “home” rather than monument. This spectacle culminates a year where countless pilgrims crossed thresholds seeking what he called “the new Jerusalem” – a brazen substitution of eschatological hope with naturalistic humanism.
Human-Centric Ecclesiology Replaces Divine Mission
The antipope’s declaration that “the Church resists becoming a monument and remains a home” inverts the Church’s Christocentric identity. Pius XI’s Quas Primas establishes the regnum Christi as the only legitimate foundation for society: “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” (n.19). By reducing the Church to a mere “home,” the antipope denies her divine constitution as the militant ark of salvation – a betrayal echoing the Modernist ecclesiology condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili (Proposition 55: “Simon Peter never even suspected that Christ gave him primacy”).
Doctrinal Relativism in “Unsettling” Divine Manifestation
The assertion that God’s presence ensures “nothing stays the same” constitutes theological terrorism against immutable dogma. Pius IX’s Syllabus condemns such evolutionary thinking: “Divine revelation is imperfect, and therefore subject to a continual and indefinite progress” (Proposition 5). When the antipope claims “something new begins which determines the present and future,” he peddles the condemned Modernist tenet that dogma evolves (Lamentabili 58: “Truth changes with man”). True Catholic hope rests not in novel revelations but in fiducia in Divinam Providentiam – trust in Divine Providence’s eternal constancy.
Naturalism Masquerading as Worship
The ritual of closing a “Holy Door” in this context constitutes sacrilegious theater. True jubilees require:
1. Validity (which the antipope lacks per Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio)
2. Right intention (absent when promoting religious indifferentism)
3. Sacramental efficacy (impossible in invalid New Rite “masses”).
Pius XI warned against substituting sacramental graces with emotionalism: “The Kingdom of our Savior seemed to shine with a new light when we enrolled six confessors and virgins among the Saints… For when the flames of mutual hatred consume nations distant from God, the Church gives birth to ever new ranks of saints” (Quas Primas). The antipope’s “stream of innumerable pilgrims” finds no heavenly merit when divorced from sacramental confession and true Holy Communion – omissions glaringly absent from his homily.
Pseudo-Spiritual Symbolism Replaces Supernatural Order
The blasphemous identification of Mary as mere “Star of the Morning” rather than Mediatrix of All Graces exposes the sect’s Mariological bankruptcy. Leo XIII’s Adiutricem Populi establishes that “when Mary offers our prayers to Christ, she participates in His unique mediation.” The antipope’s reduction of Bethlehem’s significance to “by no means least” ignores its prophetic fulfillment of Micah 5:2 – a deliberate obfuscation enabling the conciliar sect’s denial of Christ’s exclusive kingship.
Omissions That Condemn
Nowhere does the antipope mention:
1. The necessity of sacraments for salvation (against Trent Session VII)
2. The Social Kingship of Christ (contra Quas Primas)
3. The Four Last Things (denying judgment as in Lamentabili 36)
4. Hell’s reality (contra Benedict XV’s Humani Generis Redemptionem)
These silences scream louder than his empty rhetoric. As the true Church teaches: “Silence about supernatural matters is the gravest accusation” (Implementation Guidelines). This Epiphany farce proves the conciliar sect has become what Pius X called “the synagogue of Satan” (Pascendi 39), substituting golden calves of dialogue and accompaniment for the One True God.
