Synodal Consistory Embodies Apostate Church’s Rejection of Divine Authority
The Catholic News Agency portal (January 7, 2026) reports on an “extraordinary consistory” convened by antipope Robert Prevost (“Leo XIV”), wherein he declared: “I am here to listen” to cardinals of the conciliar sect. The gathering, framed by references to the Synod on Synodality (2023-2024), promotes a “synodal dynamic” predicated on horizontal dialogue rather than doctrinal certainty. Prevost outlined four discussion themes: the apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, the apostolic constitution Praedicate Evangelium, “synod and synodality,” and the liturgy. He invoked Vatican II’s Lumen Gentium and quoted Bergoglio (“Francis”) and Ratzinger (“Benedict XVI”) to justify this “path of synodality,” claiming it enables a “missionary Church” through “attraction” rather than conversion.
The Abandonment of Papal Authority for Democratic Apostasy
Prevost’s declaration “I am here to listen” constitutes an abdication of the papal duty to teach (cf. Matthew 28:19-20). The Roman pontiff, as defined by Pope Pius IX in Quanta Cura, holds “full and supreme power of jurisdiction over the whole Church, not merely in matters of faith and morals, but also in Church discipline and government”. By reducing his role to a facilitator of dialogue, Prevost embodies the conciliar heresy that Lumen Gentium institutionalized—substituting the Church’s divine constitution with a man-made “people of God” collective. Pius XII condemned this inversion in Humani Generis (1950): “Others destroy the unchangeable constitution which Christ gave His Church, and deny that the Church has the right to govern” (n. 40).
Synodality: Masonic Parlor Game Displacing Divine Law
The consistory’s focus on “synod and synodality” as “both an instrument and a style of collaboration” exposes the conciliar sect’s rejection of hierarchical authority. St. Pius X’s Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907) identified this error as Modernist: “The Church must adapt its dogmas to modern consciousness—not as a deposit to guard, but as a religious experience to develop” (n. 13). When Prevost cites Bergoglio’s claim that synodality is “what God expects of the Church of the third millennium,” he blasphemously implies the Holy Ghost demands the democratization of Christ’s monarchy. Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925) rebukes this: “The Church is a perfect society, entirely free, endowed with rights conferred by her Divine Founder”—rights exercised by lawful pastors, not committees.
Liturgical Betrayal Masquerading as “Source and Summit”
Prevost’s inclusion of liturgy as a discussion topic—after reducing it to one of four interchangeable themes—reveals the sect’s sacramental nihilism. The phrase “source and summit of Christian life” (Sacrosanctum Concilium, n. 10) is weaponized to obscure the fact that the conciliar sect’s rites invalidly simulate the Holy Sacrifice. Pope Leo XIII’s Apostolicae Curae (1896) declared Anglican orders null due to defective form and intention—a judgment equally applicable to the Novus Ordo‘s invalid Eucharistic prayers and its priestly “presiders.” True Catholics recognize only the Traditional Latin Mass as codified by St. Pius V’s Quo Primum (1570), which “cannot be revoked or modified, but remain always valid”.
“Attraction” Over Conversion: The Heresy of Universal Salvation
The antipope’s praise for “attraction” as articulated by Ratzinger and Bergoglio—“The Church does not engage in proselytism”—denies the Church’s missionary mandate. Pope Boniface VIII’s Unam Sanctam (1302) dogmatically defined: “It is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff”. Prevost’s assertion that “unity attracts, division scatters” perverts this truth, implying false religions possess salvific validity. The Syllabus of Errors condemns such indifferentism: “Good hope at least is to be entertained of the eternal salvation of all those who are not at all in the true Church of Christ” (n. 17, condemned by Pius IX).
Omissions That Condemn: Silence on Grace, Judgment, and the Four Last Things
The consistory’s discussions omit all supernatural realities—no mention of hell, the necessity of sacramental confession, or the Social Kingship of Christ. Prevost’s call for “fraternity and sincere friendship” among cardinals replaces the Church’s duty to warn rulers and nations of their obligations to Christ the King (Pius XI, Quas Primas). When he quotes Christ’s words “love one another” while suppressing the Lord’s command to “teach all nations” (Matthew 28:19), he embodies the Modernist “cult of man” condemned in St. Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (1907): “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (n. 20, condemned).
This blasphemous pantomime in the Vatican Synod Hall—a modernist temple repurposed from Paul VI’s ruinous renovations—confirms the conciliar sect’s total apostasy. As Pope Pius XII warned in Mystici Corporis (1943): “Only those are to be included as members of the Church who have been baptized and profess the true faith, and who have not unhappily withdrawn from Body-unity or for grave faults been excluded by legitimate authority” (n. 22). True Catholics flee this counterfeit church, clinging to the Missale Romanum and the unchanging Faith of our fathers.
