Neo-Modernist “Pope” Promotes Syncretism Over Catholic Sovereignty in Cuba Crisis
The EWTN News portal (February 1, 2026) reports that “Pope” Leo XIV expressed “great concern” over U.S.-Cuba tensions, urging “sincere and effective dialogue” to avoid “suffering” for Cubans. He endorsed an appeal from Cuba’s conciliar “bishops,” invoked the “Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre,” and framed the Beatitudes as abstract “lights” in history’s “half-light.” The usurper of Peter’s throne further offered generic prayers for disaster victims and called for “Olympic truce” gestures.
Betrayal of the Church’s Mission to Combat Atheistic Communism
The “pontiff’s” statement prioritizes political pragmatism over doctrinal clarity. By echoing Cuban “bishops” – collaborators with a regime that has persecuted Catholics for decades – Leo XIV ignores Cuba’s systematic eradication of the Faith. The Syllabus of Errors condemns the idea that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55). Yet the usurper’s silence on Cuba’s Marxist persecution – including shuttered seminaries, exiled priests, and martyred laity – betrays the Church’s mandate to “teach all nations” (Matthew 28:19).
Not a word condemns communism’s intrinsic evil, as Pius XI declared: “Communism is intrinsically wrong, and no one who would save Christian civilization may collaborate with it in any undertaking whatsoever” (Divini Redemptoris §58). Instead, the “dialogue” rhetoric aligns with Vatican II’s false ecumenism, which Paul VI admitted would “impress a secular and worldly direction on the Church” (July 1965 speech).
Naturalistic Reduction of the Beatitudes
Leo XIV’s Angelus reflection distorts the Gospel into sentimental moralism:
“lights that the Lord kindles in the half-light of history… renews our life and makes it good, even when to the world it seems failed and wretched.”
This omits the supernatural essence of the Beatitudes – promises of eternal glory for those who persevere in grace amid persecution (Matthew 5:10-12). Pius XI’s Quas primas clarifies that Christ’s reign demands “not only private individuals but also rulers and governments have the duty to publicly honor Christ and obey Him”. By reducing the Beatitudes to vague “lights,” the modernist usurper denies the Kingship of Christ over nations – a dogma solemnized by the Feast of Christ the King in 1925 precisely to combat secularism.
Syncretic Marian Devotion and Omission of Reparation
The invocation of “Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre” – a title rooted in syncretic Cuban folk religion – epitomizes conciliar apostasy. True Marian devotion, as defined by Leo XIII, requires “consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus” (Annum Sacrum), not nationalist sentimentality. The “pope’s” empty plea for Mary’s “assistance” ignores the necessity of consecrating Cuba to Christ the King and repudiating its communist idols.
Where Pius IX condemned those who “equate the Christian religion with other false religions” (Syllabus Error 16), Leo XIV implies parity between Marxist tyranny and U.S. policy. His “concern” for Cuban suffering ignores the primary suffering: souls deprived of sacraments and coerced into apostasy.
Olympic Paganism Masquerading as Peacemaking
The appeal for an “Olympic truce” continues the Vatican II betrayal of transforming the Church into a humanitarian NGO. The ancient Olympic truce honored Zeus – a demonic false god (1 Corinthians 10:20). True peace, as defined by Pius XII, comes only when “states and governments… conform to the laws of Christ and His Church” (1944 radio message). Instead, the usurper’s call for “détente” advances the UN’s anti-Christian globalism.
Symptomatic of the Conciliar Apostasy
This statement embodies the modernist synthesis condemned by St. Pius X:
– Religious indifferentism: Treating atheist Cuba and post-Christian America as morally equivalent.
– Naturalism: Reducing the Beatitudes to ethical platitudes, divorced from sanctifying grace.
– False ecumenism: Praising schismatic “bishops” who collaborate with persecutors.
As the Lamentabili sane exitu decreed, such errors arise when “the pursuit of novelty in the investigation of the foundations of things… abandons all restraint” (Intro). The counterfeit “pope” proves himself not the Vicar of Christ, but the agent of what Pius X called “the synthesis of all heresies.”
