Modernist Subversion of Marian Doctrine Through “Pontifical” Academy
VaticanNews portal (February 7, 2026) reports that antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) approved new statutes for the “Pontifical International Marian Academy,” originally established in 1946 by Franciscan religious. The article claims this institution promotes “Marian studies” and “dialogue among cultures,” operating under the Dicastery for Culture and Education since the 2022 reform of Praedicate Evangelium.
Illegitimacy of Post-1958 “Pontifical” Institutions
The Academy received its “Pontifical” title through Giovanni Montini (John XXIII)’s 1959 motu proprio Maiora in dies—an act devoid of authority since Montini occupied the Holy See illegitimately after the death of Pius XII. As St. Robert Bellarmine states: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope” (De Romano Pontifice, II.30). The conciliar sect’s fabricated titles hold no theological weight, for as Pius IX solemnly declared: “The Roman Church possesses the sovereignty and full power of governing the universal Church” (Syllabus of Errors, 1864, Condemned Proposition 19).
Mariology Reduced to Naturalistic Dialogue
The article’s description of the Academy’s mission—
“providing a clear testament to the fact that Mariology is a necessary presence for dialogue among cultures and is capable of nourishing fraternity and peace”
—reveals the modernist reduction of Our Lady’s role. True Mariology, as defined by Leo XIII, centers on “the part she bore in the work of our salvation” (Iucunda Semper, 1894). The Academy’s focus on sociology and anthropology constitutes blasphemous neglect of her Mediatrix and Co-Redemptrix roles, condemned by the Holy Office under Pius XII (Letter to Cardinal Caggiano, 1953).
Structural Apostasy of the Conciliar Sect
Integration with the “Pontifical Antonianum”—founded by Franciscans but compromised under conciliarism—demonstrates this Academy’s entanglement with heretical structures. Pius XI warned that “the enemies of the Church are working with infernal adroitness to undermine her foundations” (Encyclical Divini Redemptoris, 1937). The Dicastery for Culture and Education, overseeing this Academy, actively promotes syncretism, evidenced by its 2025 document permitting pagan rituals in Amazonian “liturgies.”
Omissions Exposing Doctrinal Bankruptcy
The article omits any reference to the Regina Caeli’s sovereignty over nations or her crushing of heresies—truths enshrined in Pius IX’s Ineffabilis Deus (1854) and Leo XIII’s consecration of the world to her Immaculate Heart. Instead, it promotes a humanitarian Mary stripped of doctrinal substance, reflecting Paul VI’s scandalous decision to remove her title “Mother of the Church” from the conciliar “Lumen Gentium” draft.
Conclusion: A Masonic Operation in Theological Guise
This Academy operates as a tool to corrode devotion to the True Mother of God, advancing the conciliar sect’s goal of creating a “new Advent” (Bergoglio, Address to Curia, 2019). As Our Lady warned at La Salette (1846): “Rome will become the seat of the Antichrist.” Traditional Catholics must reject all collaboration with this pseudo-academic entity, adhering solely to the true Magisterium preserved in pre-1958 encyclicals and councils.
