The Vatican News portal reports that “Pope” Leo XIV, following the Angelus prayer on February 15, 2026, expressed closeness to the people of Madagascar suffering from back-to-back cyclones, praying for victims and their families. The article notes the national emergency and international aid efforts. The antipope also extended Lunar New Year wishes, hoping the feast encourages “more intense family relationships” and “serenity to homes and to society,” invoking God’s blessing. The source is a VaticanNews.va article dated February 15, 2026.
This brief statement from the head of the conciliar sect is a quintessential manifestation of the post-conciliar church’s apostasy: a purely naturalistic, humanitarian message utterly devoid of supernatural Catholic truth, which deliberately omits the reign of Christ the King and the call to conversion, thereby perpetuating the modernist infection condemned by St. Pius X.
The Eclipse of the Social Kingship of Christ
The most glaring omission in the antipope’s message is any reference to the Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ. This is not an accidental oversight but a systematic rejection of Catholic doctrine defined by Pope Pius XI in his encyclical Quas Primas. The pontiff wrote that the feast of Christ the King was instituted precisely to combat the “secularism of our times, so-called laicism,” which “began with the denial of Christ the Lord’s reign over all nations.” Pius XI declared that the Kingdom of Christ “encompasses all men” and that “the state is happy not by one means, and man by another; for the state is nothing else than a harmonious association of men.” He exhorted rulers to recognize Christ’s authority, for “when God and Jesus Christ were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.”
The conciliar antipope’s message is the precise antithesis of this. He offers sentiments of human solidarity and prayers for “serenity” while remaining completely silent on the absolute necessity of every nation, including Madagascar, publicly recognizing the Catholic faith as the sole religion of the state and ordering its laws according to the commandments of God. This silence is a condemnation. As the Syllabus of Errors (1864) states in condemned proposition #77: “In the present day it is no longer expedient that the Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of the State, to the exclusion of all other forms of worship.” The antipope, by his omission, actively promotes this condemned error. He reduces the Church’s mission to providing humanitarian comfort, not to proclaiming the exclusive rights of Christ the King over every facet of society—its laws, its education, its very constitution.
Naturalism and the Rejection of Supernatural Ends
The language employed is thoroughly naturalistic. The antipope hopes the cyclone relief efforts will bring “peace and prosperity for all peoples” and that the Lunar New Year will foster “family relationships and friendships.” This is the “cult of man” condemned by Pius X in Pascendi Dominici gregis and his successor in Lamentabili sane exitu. Proposition #58 of the latter document, which is heretical, states: “All the rectitude and excellence of morality ought to be placed in the accumulation and increase of riches by every possible means, and the gratification of pleasure.” While the antipope does not explicitly advocate this, his entire message operates on the premise that the ultimate goals are “prosperity,” “serenity,” and “peace” understood in a purely natural, earthly sense. He offers no call to repentance, no warning of divine chastisement for sin, no reference to the state of grace or the salvation of souls as the primary purpose of human existence and societal organization.
This is a direct repudiation of the teaching of Pius XI in Quas Primas: “If men were ever to recognize Christ’s royal authority over themselves, both privately and publicly, then unheard-of blessings would flow upon the whole society, such as due freedom, order, and tranquility, and concord and peace.” The antipope speaks of “peace and prosperity” without the necessary condition: the public and private reign of Christ. This is the “peace of the world” which is not the peace of Christ (cf. John 14:27). It is the false peace of the Antichrist, which acknowledges human suffering but denies its supernatural root—original sin—and its supernatural remedy—the Sacrifice of Calvary and the kingship of Christ.
The Omission of Sin and the Call to Conversion
The article is silent on the moral and spiritual causes of such disasters. In the pre-1958 Catholic worldview, natural calamities were understood as potential chastisements from God for collective sin, calling nations to public penance and conversion. St. Pius X, in his encyclical E Supremi, warned of the “enemies within” the Church, the “modernist” apostasy that is the true root of societal decay. The False Fatima file correctly identifies that the “main danger” is “modernist apostasy within the Church since the beginning of the 20th century,” not external threats like communism or natural disasters.
The antipope’s message, by focusing solely on material aid and emotional solidarity, implicitly rejects this essential Catholic perspective. It treats the cyclone victims as objects of pity rather than as souls in need of the true Faith to save them from eternal damnation. This aligns perfectly with the modernist “hermeneutics of discontinuity” that severs the link between temporal events and eternal truths. The Syllabus of Errors, in proposition #40, condemns the notion that “The teaching of the Catholic Church is hostile to the well-being and interests of society.” Yet, by refusing to call Madagascar to convert to the one true Church and to order its society according to Catholic principles, the antipope’s “closeness” is, in fact, hostile to the ultimate well-being of the Malagasy people, which consists in the knowledge and service of God.
The Profanation of the Angelus and the “Lunar New Year”
The context of this message—the Angelus prayer—makes its content even more blasphemous. The Angelus commemorates the Incarnation, the moment when the Word became flesh and “the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14). This is the foundational mystery of the Catholic faith, the moment when God entered human history to redeem it. The antipope uses this most sacred of prayers as a mere preamble to deliver a secular, humanitarian bulletin. He then proceeds to extend greetings for a pagan feast, the Lunar New Year, which is rooted in superstition and ancestor worship. His hope that it may bring “serenity” and “prosperity” is a direct violation of the First Commandment and the Syllabus’s condemnation of indifferentism (Proposition #16: “Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation”).
This syncretism is the logical outcome of the conciliar revolution’s “dialogue” with the world. The antipope treats the Angelus and the Lunar New Year as equivalent cultural moments, both worthy of his “good wishes.” This is the “abomination of desolation” standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:15): the replacement of the worship of the one true God with a generic, pantheistic goodwill that honors all religions as paths to the same vague “prosperity.”
Conclusion: The Apostate’s Pastoral Mask
The article from Vatican News presents the antipope Leo XIV as a caring pastor. This is the most dangerous aspect of the deception. His words are crafted to appeal to natural human sentiments of compassion and hope while systematically evacuating them of all Catholic supernatural content. He performs the “closeness” of a humanist leader, not the spiritual fatherhood of a Vicar of Christ who would thunder, as Pius XI did, that “the entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation” when God is excluded.
The theological bankruptcy is total. There is no mention of:
* The Most Holy Trinity.
* The Incarnation and Redemption.
* The necessity of the Catholic Church for salvation (“*Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus*”).
* The Sacraments, especially Penance and the Holy Eucharist as the sacrifice for sin.
* The Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Hell, Heaven.
* The duty of the state to publicly profess the Catholic faith and punish heresy and idolatry.
* The Immaculate Heart of Mary and her role as Queen of Heaven and Earth.
Instead, we have the sterile, effeminate, and apostate language of the post-conciliar church: “closeness,” “prayer for victims,” “serenity,” “prosperity,” “peace.” This is the religion of the Antichrist, which will appear as an angel of light (2 Cor. 11:14) but will be a ministry of death (2 Cor. 3:7). The faithful are called to reject this false shepherd and his empty words, and to cling to the immutable faith of their fathers, which teaches that true charity is to desire the salvation of souls and the reign of Christ the King over all nations, even if it means the temporary loss of earthly “prosperity” and “serenity.”
The cyclone in Madagascar is a tragedy. The apostasy of the Vatican is a catastrophe of eternal consequences. The antipope’s message addresses the former while being the very engine of the latter.
