Catholic News Agency reports that antipope Leo XIV has proclaimed a “Special Year of St. Francis” from January 2026 to January 2027, offering purported plenary indulgences through visits to Franciscan sites. The decree from the modernist structure’s “Apostolic Penitentiary” claims this celebrates the 800th anniversary of Francis’ death while promoting “peace” amid global conflicts. This spectacle exemplifies the conciliar sect’s substitution of sacramental realism with naturalistic sentimentality.
Illegitimate Authority Invalidates Indulgence Claims
The decree presumes to grant indulgences despite the manifest heresy of those occupying Vatican structures. Quas primas establishes that Christ alone governs His Church through Peter’s successors (Pius XI, 1925), but Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code declares automatic loss of office for those publicly defecting from Catholic faith. Since John XXIII’s occupation, these figures have promulgated religious liberty (contradicting Quanta cura), ecumenism (denying Mortalium animos), and other heresies documented in the Syllabus of Errors.
St. Robert Bellarmine’s principle applies: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope” (De Romano Pontifice). Wernz-Vidal confirm: “By notorious heresy, the Roman Pontiff is deprived ipso facto of jurisdiction” (Ius Canonicum). When Leo XIV’s decree states “prayer for the intentions of the pope,” it demands submission to one whose “intentions” include propagating the conciliar revolution condemned by true popes. Pius XII’s Mystici Corporis (1943) warns that those severed from Christ’s Mystical Body “are unable to be vivified by the Spirit of Truth.”
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Faith
The decree reduces sanctification to psychological exercises, declaring that homebound persons may obtain indulgences through “spiritually joining jubilee celebrations and offering prayers, pains, or sufferings.” This contradicts Trent’s teaching on indulgences as remission “of temporal punishment due for sins” (Session 25) requiring proper disposition and ecclesiastical authority. Pius VI condemned similar subjectivism in Auctorem fidei (1794), rebuking those who “substitute natural religion for supernatural faith.”
Francis’s alleged message of “peace with God, peace among people, and peace with creation” perverts Catholic doctrine. Quas primas declares peace comes only through “restoring the reign of Our Lord” in society (Pius XI). The conciliar sect deliberately omits that St. Francis received the stigmata while meditating on Christ’s Passion—the true source of peace through propitiatory sacrifice. Modernists replace this with eco-pantheism, ignoring Pius IX’s condemnation of those who “place the Church’s hope in human progress” (Syllabus, Error 77).
Omissions Reveal Apostate Priorities
Nowhere does the decree mention:
- Reparation for blasphemies committed by conciliar officials
- Consecration to Christ the King as remedy for societal decay
- Condemnation of heresies infesting Franciscan orders
Instead, it promotes “models of holiness” while concealing that most Franciscans now deny Francis’s orthodoxy. The saint who kissed lepers’ wounds would reject Bergoglian “field hospitals” promoting Communion for adulterers. The Poverello who rebuilt ruined churches would denounce those turning sanctuaries into conference centers.
Pius X’s Lamentabili condemns those who claim “Christian doctrine was initially Jewish…then Greek and universal” (Proposition 60)—precisely the evolutionary heresy underlying this jubilee’s interfaith syncretism. When Leo XIV claims Francis “speaks to our era” through “universal reconciliation,” he channels the condemned Vatican II heresy that “the Holy Spirit offers everyone the possibility of salvation” (Gaudium et spes 22).
Conclusion: A Farce of Sacred Realities
This jubilee exemplifies the conciliar sect’s modus operandi: empty rituals mimicking Catholic forms while denying their substance. As Pius XI warned in Quas primas, societies rejecting Christ’s reign become “shaken to their foundations” by internal strife. Only by restoring the Social Kingship of Christ—not modernist pageantry—will true peace return. Let the faithful heed Our Lord’s warning: “They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him” (John 20:13). The conciliar sect has buried Catholicism beneath humanistic rubble; our duty is restoration, not accommodation.
