Vatican News portal (January 19, 2026) reports on a telegram from “Pope” Leo XIV expressing “deep sadness” over a train collision in Spain that killed 39 people. The message offers “heartfelt condolences” to families, praises rescue teams, and concludes with an empty invocation of “hope in the Risen Lord” through “Our Lady of the Pillar’s intercession.”
The Naturalism of Neo-Church “Pastoral Care”
The telegram exemplifies the conciliar sect’s complete abandonment of supernaturalis visio (supernatural vision). Nowhere does the message mention:
the necessity of repentance, the Four Last Things, or the eternal consequences of dying in mortal sin.
This silence constitutes pastoral malpractice against souls who may have perished unprepared. Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925) explicitly taught that Christ’s Kingship demands public recognition of divine judgment: “Rulers and governments must not only give Him external worship…but must direct their laws to His glory.” By reducing disaster response to secular condolences, the Vatican apparatus denies Christ’s sovereignty over temporal events.
Sacrilegious Instrumentalization of Sacred Things
The reference to “Our Lady of the Pillar” constitutes blasphemous exploitation of authentic Spanish piety. The true 1678 approbation of this devotion by Clement X required:
- Public recitation of the Rosary
- Penitential processions
- Masses offered for the dead
The telegram substitutes these opera necessaria (necessary works) with modernist emotionalism. Worse, it claims to impart an “Apostolic Blessing” while the usurper lacks jurisdiction – making this a simulacrum condemned by Pius XII’s Sacramentum Ordinis (1947).
Omission of Required Spiritual Remedies
Authentic Catholic disaster response would mandate:
- Public Forty Hours Devotion for the dead
- Announcement of plenary indulgences for those praying Requiem aeternam
- Ordering all priests to offer the Votive Mass for the Dead
The conciliar sect’s refusal to implement these measures proves its apostasy. As the Syllabus of Errors (1864) condemned: “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Error 18) – precisely the ecumenical poison infecting this empty gesture.
Symptomatic of Conciliar Apostasy
This naturalistic response flows inevitably from Vatican II’s Gaudium et Spes which declared: “The joys and hopes…of men…are the joys and hopes of the people of God.” By equating earthly suffering with supernatural reality, the neo-church fulfills St. Pius X’s warning in Pascendi (1907): “Modernists place the foundation of religious philosophy in the doctrine of immanence.” The Spanish bishops’ criminal failure to order penitential processions confirms their complicity in this apostasy.
When death strikes unexpectedly, Holy Mother Church raises her voice like the prophet Ezekiel: “Cast away from you all your transgressions…and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! For why will you die, O house of Israel?” (Ez 18:31). The conciliar sect’s refusal to issue this warning constitutes spiritual homicide – making its “condolences” not merely empty, but diabolical.
