Apostate Vatican Appoints Female Economist to Govern Financial Secrets
EWTN News reports that antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) has appointed Sr. Raffaella Petrini, a member of the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist, to the Commission for Reserved Matters. This body oversees financial contracts in “confidential areas” of the Vatican structure. The article celebrates this as “the first woman to serve on the commission” and part of a “growing presence of women in positions of responsibility within the Holy See.”
Usurped Authority Delegated to Unqualified Persons
The so-called “Commission for Reserved Matters” was established in 2020 by antipope Bergoglio (Jorge Mario Bergoglio) to manage secret financial operations. The appointment by antipope Prevost demonstrates the complete collapse of ecclesiastical governance. Canon 118 of the 1917 Code explicitly reserves such administrative roles to clerics, as Quamvis Dilecta (Gregory XVI, 1841) confirms: “The administration of ecclesiastical goods pertains by law to clerics.” Sr. Petrini—a woman with a doctorate in social sciences from the compromised Angelicum—lacks any canonical authority to exercise jurisdiction.
She is the first woman to serve on the commission, created in 2020 by Pope Francis, which is responsible for awarding financial contracts in confidential areas of the Vatican.
This violates the apostolic constitution Vacante Apostolica Sede (Pius X, 1904), which forbids lay interference in governance during sede vacante—a condition perpetually existing since 1958. The “growing presence of women” constitutes a deliberate attack on the hierarchicus ordo defined by Pope Pius XII in Sacra Virginitas (1954): “The Church has no authority whatever to confer priestly ordination on women.”
Naturalism Masquerading as “Reform”
The article boasts of changes to Vatican City State law to accommodate female leadership, revealing the neo-church’s total submission to secular feminism. Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925) condemned such revolutionary egalitarianism: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty.” Antipope Bergoglio’s legal manipulations—granting Sr. Petrini “the same powers as her predecessors, who until then had always been cardinals”—expose the Masonic-inspired demolition of Catholic polity.
Sr. Petrini’s academic credentials in “Welfare Economics and Sociology of Economic Processes” epitomize the neo-church’s replacement of theology with social sciences. Pius X’s Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907) §38 warned: “The Modernists place the foundation of religious philosophy in that doctrine which is commonly called Agnosticism… They affirm that God is absolutely unknowable through human reason.” Her professorship at a secular university further confirms alienation from the scientia Dei required for ecclesiastical governance.
Financial Secrecy as Symptom of Institutional Apostasy
The Commission’s role in “awarding financial contracts in confidential areas” confirms the Vatican structure’s descent into a criminal enterprise. Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum (1891) demanded transparency: “Justice demands that the sacred rights of property be respected by all.” The article’s silence on specific expenditures—coupled with Sr. Petrini’s concurrent role in the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See—suggests continuation of the “Vatileaks” corruption documented since 2012.
The Commission for Reserved Matters plays a strategic role in the control and allocation of contracts that are particularly sensitive for the Vatican City State.
This financial opacity directly contradicts Pius XI’s Divini Illius Magistri (1929), which requires Church institutions to exemplify evangelical poverty. The conciliar sect’s obsession with temporal power—managing “infrastructure, security, health care, and the Vatican Museums”—proves its abandonment of the Church’s spiritual mission. As Quas Primas declares: “The empire of our Redeemer embraces all men… His kingly dignity demands that the State should take account of the commandments of God.”
Theological Implications of Female “Governorate Presidency”
Sr. Petrini’s role as “president of the Governorate” constitutes sacrilege against the divine constitution of the Church. Pius X’s Vehementer Nos (1906) affirmed: “The Church is essentially an unequal society… comprising two categories of persons: the Pastors and the flock.” The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 145 §1) restricts ecclesiastical offices to clerics. Antipope Bergoglio’s unlawful changes to Vatican statutes mock the immutability of Church law, condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864): “The Church has not the power of using force, nor has she any temporal power, direct or indirect” (Error 24).
EWTN’s celebration of this appointment as historic reveals its complicity in neo-modernism. The article’s focus on Sr. Petrini breaking “the administrative leadership of the Vatican” ignores the supernatural catastrophe: a woman exercising authority reserved to bishops. St. Paul’s injunction remains binding: “Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith” (1 Cor 14:34).
Omission of Supernatural Realities
The article’s purely bureaucratic language—detailing academic degrees, managerial roles, and legal adjustments—exposes the conciliar sect’s naturalism. No mention of sanctifying grace, the salvation of souls, or the Four Last Things appears. Compare this to Pius XI’s description of true governance in Quas Primas: “The empire of our Redeemer embraces all men. To use the words of Our immortal predecessor, Pope Leo XIII: ‘His empire includes not only Catholic nations, not only baptized persons… but also all those who are outside the Christian faith.'”
The silence on Sr. Petrini’s spiritual qualifications—if any—demonstrates the neo-church’s transformation into a NGO. As the Holy Office decreed in Lamentabili Sane (1907): “Truth changes with man, because it develops with him, in him, and through him” (Error 58—condemned). Her economics-driven profile fulfills this modernist heresy, reducing the Church to a social welfare organization.
Conclusion: Apostolic Authority Supplanted by Masonic Bureaucracy
This appointment completes the conciliar revolution’s aims: replacing apostolic hierarchy with gender ideology, substituting theology with sociology, and enshrining financial corruption as governance. As Pius IX warned in Syllabus of Errors: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Error 80—condemned). Let true Catholics heed Pope St. Pius X’s command in Pascendi §3: “It must be clearly established that no one can be at the same time a sincere Catholic and a true Socialist.” The conciliar sect’s female-led finance commission manifests its final apostasy from Christ the King.
