The Hollow Rhetoric of Conciliar “Pope” Leo XIV on Nigerian Violence
Vatican News reports that antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) expressed “sorrow and concern” during his February 8, 2026 Angelus address regarding recent violent attacks in Nigeria. The article details attacks in Woro village (160 deaths), Kaduna State (51 abductions), and Karku (11 abductions including a “priest”, 3 deaths). The antipope vaguely urged “competent Authorities” to ensure citizen safety while also mentioning prayers for human trafficking victims and flood victims in Spain, Morocco, Portugal, and Sicily. Vatican News frames this as part of the antipope’s “appeal against terrorism.”
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Mission
The conciliar sect’s response reduces the Church’s mission to a humanitarian NGO, utterly abandoning regnum Christi (the reign of Christ). Nowhere does the antipope call for Nigeria’s conversion to the Catholic Faith or remind authorities of their duty to establish Christ’s social kingship (Pius XI, Quas Primas). Instead, he peddles the modernist heresy that temporal peace can be achieved through secular governance alone—directly contradicting the Syllabus of Errors’ condemnation of the proposition that “the Church ought to be separated from the State” (Pius IX, Error 55).
“I hope that the competent Authorities will continue to work with determination to ensure the safety and protection of the life of every citizen.”
This bureaucratically sanitized language deliberately avoids naming Islamist jihad as the root cause—a cowardly omission that echoes the conciliar sect’s false ecumenism. Contrast this with the Church’s true voice: “There is no salvation outside the Church” (Lateran IV), and rulers must “publicly honor and obey” Christ the King (Pius XI, Quas Primas).
Theological Bankruptcy of the “Angelus” Gesture
The very act of the antipope reciting the Angelus—a devotion to the Incarnate Word—while refusing to proclaim His exclusive Lordship embodies the hypocrisy condemned by St. Pius X: “The Modernist… while placing himself within the Church, is the first to try to undermine her” (Pascendi Dominici Gregis 3). By reducing prayer to a sentimental gesture divorced from the lex orandi, lex credendi (law of prayer is law of belief), the conciliar sect confirms its apostasy.
Silence on the Sacramental Crisis
Vatican News mentions the abduction of “Fr. Nathaniel Asuwaye” but remains mute on whether this “priest” was validly ordained. Given that post-1968 ordinations lack proper form and intention (due to Paul VI’s invalid rites), any sacraments administered by such figures are sacrilegious simulations. The article’s reference to “Holy Trinity Church in Karku” is equally deceptive—these structures are not Catholic churches but meeting halls for the conciliar sect, where the Novus Ordo invalidly confects no sacrifice.
Masonic Subtext of “Global Solidarity”
The antipope’s inclusion of floods in Spain and Portugal alongside Nigerian terrorism exposes the one-world-religion agenda. This universalist indifferentism—equating natural disasters with anti-Christian persecution—was anathematized by Pius IX: “Good hope at least is to be entertained of the eternal salvation of all those who are not at all in the true Church of Christ” is an error (Syllabus, Error 17). True Catholic solidarity demands prioritizing the salvation of souls, not environmentalist platitudes.
Omission of the Only Real Solution
No mention is made of Nigeria’s need for the reign of Christ the King, the restoration of the Tridentine Mass, or the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart—though the conciliar sect long ago corrupted these concepts into ecumenical theater. Instead, we get empty calls for “determination” from secular authorities, rejecting the Church’s infallible teaching that “the state is bound to protect the true religion” (Leo XIII, Immortale Dei).
Symptomatic of Conciliar Apostasy
This Vatican News piece exemplifies the conciliar sect’s modus operandi:
1. De-supernaturalization: Replace divine judgment with human rights rhetoric.
2. Equivocation: Treat Islamist terrorists and flood victims as morally equivalent crises.
3. Omission: Never name Christ as Nigeria’s sole hope or condemn false religions.
The article’s clinical tone (“security sources cited by AFP”) mirrors the naturalism condemned in Lamentabili Sane Exitu: “The Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics because it steadfastly adheres to its views” (Error 63).
Conclusion: A Church That Forgot Her Spouse
While true Catholics weep for Nigeria’s martyrs, the conciliar sect offers only a parody of concern. Where Pius XI thundered “Peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ,” antipope Leo XIV mumbles bureaucratic platitudes. Until Nigeria’s rulers submit to Christ’s social reign and abolish false religions, no army battalion will end the bloodshed—for “unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain” (Ps. 127:1). The conciliar sect’s silence on this truth proves its complicity in the world’s crucifixion of the Church.
