VaticanNews portal reports on a commemorative oratorio, “Francesco: Shepherd of Mercy,” scheduled for April 24, 2026, in Mdina, Malta, marking the first anniversary of the death of Jorge Mario Bergoglio. The event, organized by the Malta Police Force and the Maltese Embassy to the Holy See, aims to celebrate the “pontificate” of this apostate, with proceeds directed to a “Church-run” home. This spectacle, attended by “civil and religious authorities,” is not merely a cultural event but a brazen act of defiance against the immutable Catholic Faith, a further entrenchment of the conciliar sect’s apostasy, and a public endorsement of a man who, *ipso facto*, ceased to be Pope by reason of manifest heresy. It is a sacrilegious tribute to the architect of the “Church of the New Advent,” a man whose “reign” was characterized by the systematic dismantling of Catholic doctrine and the promotion of a naturalistic, man-centered “gospel.”
The Antipope’s Legacy: A Symphony of Heresy and Apostasy
The very title of this oratorio, “Francesco: Shepherd of Mercy,” is a blasphemous misnomer. Jorge Mario Bergoglio, known as “Pope Francis,” was no true shepherd of Christ’s flock but a wolf in sheep’s clothing, leading countless souls astray with his manifest heresies and modernist innovations. His “mercy” was not the divine mercy that calls for repentance and conversion to the one true Faith, but a false, sentimental “mercy” that condones sin, undermines moral law, and opens the floodgates to every error.
As the document “Defense of Sedevacantism” unequivocally states, quoting St. Robert Bellarmine: “The fifth true opinion is that a Pope who is a manifest heretic, by that very fact ceases to be Pope and head, just as he ceases to be a Christian and member of the body of the Church: by which things he may be judged and punished by the Church.” Bergoglio’s pontificate was a continuous stream of heresies, from his statements on homosexuality and divorce to his promotion of religious liberty and ecumenism, directly contradicting the perennial Magisterium. His “reign” was a public defection from the Catholic faith, a clear manifestation of the “enemies within” warned against by St. Pius X. To call him “Shepherd of Mercy” is to blaspheme the True Shepherd, Our Lord Jesus Christ, whose Kingdom Bergoglio consistently undermined.
The Conciliar Sect’s Liturgy of Apostasy
This concert, organized by the “Malta Police Force in collaboration with the Maltese Embassy to the Holy See,” is a stark example of the conciliar sect’s modus operandi: the fusion of secular authority with the structures of the neo-church to perpetuate its apostate agenda. The involvement of the “Maltese Embassy to the Holy See” signifies the recognition of the usurper’s authority by civil powers, a direct violation of the principle that Christ’s Kingdom is not of this world and that the Church’s authority is derived solely from Him, not from the state.
The participation of “Malta’s Police Commissioner Angelo Gafà, Archbishop Charles Jude Scicluna, representatives of the Apostolic Nunciature, and other civil and religious authorities” demonstrates the complete integration of the conciliar sect into the fabric of secular society, a goal long pursued by Freemasonry and condemned by Pope Pius IX in his “Syllabus of Errors.” This is not a gathering of faithful Catholics but a celebration of the “Church of the New Advent,” a “paramasonic structure” that has replaced the supernatural mission of the Church with a humanistic, social-welfare oriented “gospel.” The “Church-run home for persons in need,” Id-Dar tal-Providenza, while perhaps performing some natural good, becomes a mere tool for the conciar sect’s “works of mercy,” devoid of the primary mission of saving souls and preaching the true Faith.
The “Mercy” of the Antichrist: A Counterfeit Gospel
The oratorio’s focus on “reflecting on the pontificate of Pope Francis” is an exercise in historical revisionism and theological distortion. Bergoglio’s “pontificate” was not one of mercy but of systemic apostasy, a relentless attack on the dogmas, morals, and liturgy of the Catholic Church. His “mercy” was a counterfeit, designed to dissolve the distinction between good and evil, truth and error, and to usher in a “broad and liberal Protestantism” under the guise of Catholicism, precisely as condemned by the “Syllabus of Errors” (Proposition 65).
This event, by celebrating his “legacy,” actively promotes the very errors that led to the current crisis in the Church. It is a public relations exercise for the conciar sect, attempting to sanitize the image of a man who, by his manifest heresies, *ipso facto* lost all jurisdiction and authority. The “sweet and saving reign of Our King,” as Pope Pius XI proclaimed in *Quas Primas*, was not Bergoglio’s aim; rather, he sought to establish a “kingdom” of man, devoid of the supernatural, where “civil liberty of every form of worship” and “the full power, given to all, of overtly and publicly manifesting any opinions whatsoever and thoughts” are hailed as progress, directly contradicting the condemnation of such errors in the “Syllabus” (Proposition 79).
The Silence of the Faithful and the Triumph of Apostasy
The fact that such an event can be organized and publicized by “VaticanNews,” the official mouthpiece of the conciliar sect, without any significant protest from those who claim to be “traditionalists” or even “sedevacantists,” is a damning indictment of the current state of affairs. It underscores the pervasive influence of the “hermeneutic of continuity,” a modernist deception designed to legitimize the conciliar revolution by falsely claiming it is in line with pre-conciliar teaching.
The “traditionalist” groups, such as the FSSPX, who “acknowledge the validity of the usurpers in Vatican,” are complicit in this charade. By recognizing Bergoglio as “Pope,” even while criticizing some of his actions, they lend legitimacy to the very authority that is the source of the problem. Their “give us the old Mass, that is enough for us” mentality is a betrayal of the full Catholic Faith, which demands not only the true Sacrifice of the Mass but also the true doctrine and the true Pope. This concert is a direct consequence of their failure to unequivocally reject the conciar sect and its antipopes.
A Call to Reject the Neo-Church and Return to Tradition
This concert in Malta is not an isolated incident but a symptom of the profound spiritual malaise affecting the entire conciliar structure. It is a celebration of apostasy, a public relations exercise for the enemies of Christ’s Kingdom, and a further step towards the realization of the “abomination of desolation” in the holy place. The faithful must recognize this event for what it is: a blasphemous tribute to a man who, by his manifest heresies, forfeited any claim to the Chair of Peter.
The only response for true Catholics is to unequivocally reject Jorge Mario Bergoglio and the entire conciar sect, to cling to the immutable Tradition of the Catholic Church, and to pray for the restoration of the true Papacy and the reign of Christ the King over all nations. As Pope Pius IX declared, “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Proposition 80 of the “Syllabus of Errors”) – this is precisely what Bergoglio did, and this concert celebrates that betrayal. Let us instead heed the call of *Quas Primas*: “Let rulers of states therefore not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ, but let them fulfill this duty themselves and with their people, if they wish to maintain their authority inviolate and contribute to the increase of their homeland’s happiness.” The “Francesco: Shepherd of Mercy” oratorio is a stark reminder that the battle lines are drawn, and the choice is between the true Christ and the counterfeit “christ” of the modernist, ecumenical, and syncretistic conciliar sect.
