Antipope Leo XIV Promotes Modernist Errors Under Guise of Peace and Unity
The Catholic News Agency portal (January 18, 2026) reports on the recent public appearance of antipope Leo XIV. The article describes his appeal for prayers concerning violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo and floods in Southern Africa, his promotion of the “Week of Prayer for Christian Unity,” and his reflection on John the Baptist’s humility. This performance exemplifies the conciliar sect’s systematic abandonment of Catholic truth under the veneer of piety.
Naturalistic Reduction of Peace to Mere Human Dialogue
The antipope’s call for “dialogue for reconciliation and peace” in Congo constitutes a rejection of Catholic social doctrine. Pius XI definitively taught in Quas Primas that “the peace of Christ can only be found in the Kingdom of Christ” (1925), requiring nations to submit to Christ’s sovereignty through the Catholic Church. By reducing peace to diplomatic negotiations while omitting the necessity of converting Congo to the Catholic Faith, Leo XIV follows the heresy condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error #55).
The humanitarian focus on displaced persons while ignoring their spiritual destitution reveals the conciliar sect’s naturalism. As St. Pius X warned in Pascendi Dominici Gregis, modernists reduce religion to “a kind of appetite… directed towards an evolving reality” (#14). True Catholic charity would demand the Congo’s liberation from both violence and heresy through missionary work and the establishment of Christ’s social reign.
Ecumenical Apostasy Masquerading as Christian Unity
Leo XIV’s promotion of the “Week of Prayer for Christian Unity” constitutes formal cooperation with heresy. His endorsement of materials prepared by the Armenian Apostolic Church – which denies papal supremacy and multiple dogmas – violates the anathema of Pius XI’s Mortalium Animos: “The union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it” (1928).
The antipope’s reference to Ephesians 4:4 (“one body, one Spirit”) while omitting the following verse’s requirement of “one Lord, one faith, one baptism” (Eph 4:5) demonstrates deliberate doctrinal deception. This aligns with the modernist tactic described in St. Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane: “The Church listening cooperates with the Church teaching… stages in the evolution of Christian consciousness” (Condemned Proposition #6). By treating heretical sects as equal partners rather than souls to be converted, the conciliar sect fulfills the condemned error: “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Pius IX, Syllabus #18).
Omission of Supernatural Realities in Favor of Sentimentalism
Nowhere does the antipope mention the Congo’s urgent need for sacraments, missionary priests, or the conversion of its Muslim and animist populations. His silence on the eternal consequences of dying outside the Church contradicts the dogma extra Ecclesiam nulla salus defined at the Fourth Lateran Council: “There is but one universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved” (Canon 1).
Instead, Leo XIV promotes a humanitarian gospel focused on temporal suffering while ignoring the causa finalis of human existence: the salvation of souls. This inversion follows the condemned proposition: “The principal articles of the Apostles’ Creed did not have the same meaning for the first Christians as they do for contemporary Christians” (St. Pius X, Lamentabili #62). His appeal to “the love of a God who… takes our burdens upon himself” reduces redemption to therapeutic emotionalism, denying the necessity of sacramental grace and penance.
The Hypocrisy of “Humility” Without Doctrine
The antipope’s praise of John the Baptist’s humility rings hollow when contrasted with his own usurpation of the papal office. True Catholic humility requires submission to dogma, as defined by Pope Leo XIII: “The Church has the right to require from the intellect complete submission to the truths which she proposes” (Libertas Praestantissimum, 1888). By suggesting Christians should abandon “chasing substitutes for happiness” while himself propagating the heresies condemned in Pius X’s Oath Against Modernism, Leo XIV embodies Christ’s warning: “Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing” (Mt 7:15).
His call for “withdrawal into the desert” for prayer constitutes psychological manipulation, diverting attention from the conciliar sect’s doctrinal crimes. Authentic Catholic spirituality demands not silence before error, but the prophetic denunciation commanded by St. Paul: “Preach the word, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine” (2 Tim 4:2).
Conclusion: Rejecting the Neo-Modernist Agenda
This Angelus address confirms the conciliar sect’s total embrace of the errors condemned in the Syllabus of Errors and Lamentabili Sane. From its naturalistic concept of peace to its ecumenical apostasy and denial of missionary urgency, the structure occupying the Vatican operates as an engine of heresy. True Catholics must heed Pius XI’s warning in Mortalium Animos: “The union of Christians cannot be otherwise promoted than by inducing them to return to the one true Church of Christ.” We reject Leo XIV’s pretensions and pray for the restoration of the Roman Papacy under Christ the King.
