VaticanNews portal reports on a meeting between the usurper of the Apostolic See, Robert Prevost (“Leo XIV”), and members of Regnum Christi’s Societies of Apostolic Life. The article promotes three revolutionary concepts condemned by perennial Catholic teaching: “dialogue without being absorbed,” experimental governance models, and “organic communion in diversity.” This constitutes a strategic advancement of the conciliar sect’s program to replace hierarchical authority with democratic collectivism.
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Vocation
The fundamental error lies in reducing consecrated life to sociological activism. When “Leo XIV” states that “it is necessary to know who we are if we want to engage in authentic dialogue with society,” he inverts the proper ends of religious life. The Code of Canon Law (1917) defines religious institutes as societies approved by the Church “in which members… take public vows… and tend to evangelical perfection” (Canon 488). The 1917 Code further mandates that all constitutions must prescribe “the observance of the evangelical counsels” as their primary end (Canon 487). Nowhere does Catholic legislation permit dialogue with modern society as an essential purpose. Pius XI condemned precisely this inversion in Quas Primas: “When once men recognize… that Christ has been excluded from political life… human society will be at last dissolved and prey to ruin” (§18). The consecrated life exists to flee worldly contamination (James 4:4), not negotiate with modernity.
Revolt Against Divine Constitution of Authority
The call to “not be afraid to experiment with new models of government” constitutes open rebellion against Christ’s monarchical governance of His Church. Pius VI’s condemnation of the Synod of Pistoia (1794) anathematized those who would “alter the form of government divinely established in the Church” (Denzinger 2600). The conciliar sect’s obsession with “synodality” reaches its logical conclusion here – religious obedience reduced to democratic process. St. Pius X warned in Pascendi that Modernists seek to “reform the Church in the manner of heretics” by substituting divine authority with popular consensus (§26). When “Leo XIV” praises governance that strengthens “the sense of belonging and participation,” he echoes the condemned proposition: “In the present day it is no longer expedient that the Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of the State” (Pius IX, Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 77).
False Unity Based on Anthropocentrism
The promotion of “organic communion in diversity” constitutes the ecumenical heresy condemned by Pius XI in 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” (§10). True communion requires unity of faith (Ephesians 4:5), not the conciliar sect’s celebration of divergent paths. The article’s silence about the need for conversion reveals its naturalistic foundation. As the Holy Office decreed under St. Pius X: “The Church cannot define dogmas in such a way that their meaning becomes adaptable according to individual understanding” (Lamentabili Sane, Proposition 4). By contrast, Regnum Christi’s founder Marcial Maciel Degollado embodied the conciliar revolution’s moral decay – a drug-addicted pederast whose crimes were systematically covered up by the Vatican apparatus now promoting his spiritual offspring.
Omission of Supernatural Finality
Throughout the article, the absence of any reference to the salvation of souls or final judgment proves the conciliar sect’s apostasy. Where “Leo XIV” speaks of “freeing humanity from ancient and new forms of slavery,” he employs Marxist liberation theology condemned by Pius XI as “false and perverse” (Divini Redemptoris §58). Authentic religious life exists “not to reform temporal society, but to lead souls to perfection through the evangelical counsels” (Pius XII, Provida Mater Ecclesia §2). The transformation of consecration into social activism constitutes what St. Pius X called “the substitution of the supernatural for the natural in man” – the defining heresy of Modernism (Pascendi §39).
Continuation of Maciel’s Poisonous Legacy
Regnum Christi’s very existence demonstrates the conciliar sect’s institutionalized corruption. Founded by a criminal enabled by Vatican officials, this organization exemplifies the “abomination of desolation” (Matthew 24:15) in the post-conciliar ruins. That “Leo XIV” would endorse Maciel’s creation proves the fulfillment of St. Paul’s prophecy: “For such false apostles are deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:13). The Church’s true sons must reject these sowers of confusion and cleave to the unchanging faith preserved by those bishops who kept the sacraments intact outside the conciliar structures.
