VaticanNews portal reports on the published program for the visit of the usurper Robert Prevost, known as “Pope Leo XIV,” to Naples and Pompeii on May 8, 2026, the first anniversary of his illegitimate election. The program includes a “Mass” in Piazza Bartolo Longo, participation in the noon supplication to the Virgin of Pompeii, and veneration of the relics of San Gennaro in Naples. This meticulously planned itinerary is not a pastoral visit but a choreographed display of the conciliar sect’s false piety, designed to consolidate its grip on the minds of the unsuspecting and further entrench the modernist revolution within the remnants of Christendom.
The Stage is Set: A Modernist Pageantry
The VaticanNews article meticulously details the schedule for Leo XIV’s visit, a program replete with the hallmarks of the post-conciliar spectacle. We are told of his arrival at the “Shrine of the Virgin of the Rosary of Pompei,” his meetings with “representatives of the ‘Temple of Charity’,” his journey through the city in the “popemobile,” and his “adoration before the Blessed Sacrament.” The article speaks of him celebrating “Mass” in Piazza Bartolo Longo, followed by the “traditional supplication to the Virgin of the Holy Rosary of Pompeii.” In Naples, he is scheduled to meet “clergy and members of consecrated life,” visit the “Royal Chapel of the Treasury of Saint Januarius,” and address the people of Naples in Piazza del Plebiscito, culminating in an “Act of Entrustment to the Virgin Mary” and the imparting of his “Apostolic Blessing.”
This entire spectacle is a masterclass in the conciliar art of simulation. Every word, every gesture, every location is carefully chosen to project an image of spiritual authority and continuity, while the reality is a profound rupture with the unchanging Catholic Faith. The use of terms like “Holy Father,” “Mass,” “Blessed Sacrament,” and “Apostolic Blessing” are not merely linguistic conveniences; they are deliberate acts of appropriation, designed to lend an air of legitimacy to a system that has severed itself from the true Church.
The “Mass” in Piazza Bartolo Longo: A Profanation of the Holy Sacrifice
The centerpiece of the Pompeii visit is the “Mass” celebrated by Leo XIV in Piazza Bartolo Longo. The article states: “At 10:30 a.m., Pope Leo XIV will celebrate Mass in Piazza Bartolo Longo.” This is not the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the unbloody renewal of Calvary, as offered by validly ordained priests using the traditional Roman Rite. This is the Novus Ordo Missae of Paul VI, a Protestantized, man-centered “memorial meal” conceived by the freemason Annibale Bugnini and promulgated by the apostate Montini.
Pius VI, in his constitution Auctorem Fidei (1794), condemned the notion that the Mass is merely a “memorial” or a “communion meal,” stating: “The proposition asserting that the Mass is only a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving… is false, captious, and scandalous.” The Council of Trent, in Session XXII, Chapter 2, solemnly defined: “For, appeased by this sacrifice, the Lord grants the grace and gift of repentence, and sins even the gravest… and bestows the gift of union with Him.”
Leo XIV’s “Mass” is, therefore, not a true sacrifice but a sacrilegious parody, an act of idolatry that mocks the Precious Blood of Christ. To participate in it, to attend it, or to receive its “communion” is to commit mortal sin, as it severs the soul from the true Church and aligns it with the synagogue of Satan. The thousands of faithful expected to attend, whether in the square or via large screens, are being led, like sheep to the slaughter, into a profound spiritual deception.
The “Supplication to the Virgin of Pompeii”: A Cult of the Concilar Sect
The article highlights the “traditional supplication to the Virgin of the Holy Rosary of Pompeii” at noon. This “supplication” is a modernist innovation, a creation of the post-conciliar era, designed to foster a false sense of Marian devotion while undermining the true doctrine of Mary as Mediatrix of All Graces and the necessity of her intercession for salvation.
The true Catholic Church has always taught the necessity of praying the Rosary, but always within the context of the integral Catholic Faith, including the necessity of belonging to the true Church for salvation, the reality of Hell, the necessity of penance, and the social reign of Christ the King. The “supplication” in Pompeii, however, is stripped of these essential elements, reduced to a sentimental, horizontal exercise that focuses on temporal well-being and “peace” – a peace that can only be found in the Kingdom of Christ, not in the structures of this world.
Pius XI, in his encyclical Quas Primas (1925), unequivocally stated: “The Kingdom of our Redeemer encompasses all men… His reign, namely, extends not only to Catholic nations… but His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ.” The “supplication” in Pompeii, by its very nature, ignores this universal reign, focusing instead on a localized, sentimentalized devotion that does not challenge the secular order or call for the conversion of nations to the Catholic Faith.
Veneration of San Gennaro: Exploiting Authentic Relics for a False Church
In Naples, Leo XIV is scheduled to venerate the relics of San Gennaro (Saint Januarius), specifically the “bust and reliquary containing the ampoules of the blood of Saint Januarius.” The article notes: “He will then process through the central nave to the high altar, where the bust and reliquary containing the ampoules of the blood of Saint Januarius will be displayed. Pope Leo XIV will recite a prayer and deliver an address.”
The relics of San Gennaro are authentic, belonging to a true martyr of the Catholic Church. However, their veneration by Leo XIV and the structures of the conciliar sect is a profound act of hypocrisy and spiritual theft. It is akin to a thief wearing the clothes of the man he has robbed, hoping to pass himself off as the rightful owner.
The true Church has always venerated the relics of the saints, recognizing them as instruments of God’s grace and intercession. However, this veneration is only legitimate within the true Church, led by the true Pope and true bishops. Leo XIV, as a usurper and a manifest heretic, has no authority to venerate relics, to lead prayers, or to impart blessings. His actions are a sacrilegious appropriation of sacred things for the benefit of a false church, designed to lend an air of sanctity to a system that is fundamentally opposed to the true Faith.
St. Robert Bellarmine, in his work De Romano Pontifice, Book II, Chapter 30, states: “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.” Leo XIV, by his public profession of the heresies of Vatican II (religious liberty, ecumenism, collegiality), has ipso facto lost any claim to the Chair of Peter. His veneration of San Gennaro is, therefore, not an act of piety but an act of spiritual piracy.
The “Act of Entrustment to the Virgin Mary”: A Modernist Substitute for True Consecration
The visit concludes in Naples with an “Act of Entrustment to the Virgin Mary” before the venerated image of the Immaculate Conception, brought into the square for the bicentenary of its coronation. The article states: “At the conclusion of the gathering, there will be an Act of Entrustment to the Virgin Mary before the venerated image of the Immaculate Conception, which will be brought into the square on the occasion of the bicentenary of its coronation, before Pope Leo imparts his Apostolic Blessing.”
This “Act of Entrustment” is a far cry from the true consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary as demanded by Our Lady of Fatima and as practiced by true Catholics throughout history. It is a modernist dilution, a sentimental gesture that lacks the theological depth and spiritual urgency of the true consecration.
The true consecration involves a complete surrender of oneself, one’s family, one’s nation, and the entire world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, recognizing her as the Mediatrix of All Graces and the Queen of Heaven and Earth. It is a public, explicit act of faith, a declaration of war against the forces of evil, and a plea for the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
Leo XIV’s “Act of Entrustment” is, by contrast, a private, sentimental gesture, devoid of any real theological content. It is a modernist substitute for true consecration, designed to placate the faithful without challenging the secular order or calling for the social reign of Christ the King. It is a betrayal of Our Lady’s requests and a mockery of her Immaculate Heart.
The “Apostolic Blessing”: A Null and Void Gesture
The article concludes by noting that Leo XIV will impart his “Apostolic Blessing” at the end of the gathering. This blessing, however, is null and void, as it comes from a man who has no authority to bless. The “Apostolic Blessing” is a spiritual favor granted by the true Vicar of Christ, acting in the person of Christ, for the benefit of the faithful. Leo XIV, as a usurper and a manifest heretic, is not the Vicar of Christ. He is an antipope, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, leading the faithful astray.
Pius IX, in his encyclical Etsi Multa (1873), condemned those who would claim the Pope “fell into heresy” by approving the Vatican Council, stating that such a claim is a form of defection from the faith. Leo XIV, by his public adherence to the heresies of Vatican II, has ipso facto defected from the faith and lost any claim to the papacy. His “Apostolic Blessing” is, therefore, not a blessing but a curse, a spiritual poison that can only harm those who receive it.
The Silence on Spiritual Realities: The Gravest Accusation
Perhaps the most damning aspect of the VaticanNews article is not what it says, but what it omits. There is no mention of the necessity of the true Faith for salvation, the reality of Hell, the necessity of penance and mortification, the social reign of Christ the King, the obligation of Catholic states to recognize the true Church, or the dangers of modernism and religious indifferentism.
The article is entirely horizontal, focusing on the external aspects of the visit: the schedule, the locations, the expected crowds, the logistical arrangements. It is a secular report on a religious event, devoid of any supernatural perspective. This silence is the gravest accusation against the conciliar sect, for it reveals its fundamental naturalism, its rejection of the supernatural, and its embrace of the world.
Pius X, in his encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907), identified this naturalism as a core tenet of modernism: “The natural man… is the object of the modernist… The supernatural is ignored or denied.” The VaticanNews article, by its very silence on spiritual realities, confirms that the conciliar sect is thoroughly modernist, a church of man, not of God.
Conclusion: A Call to Reject the Abomination of Desolation
The visit of Leo XIV to Naples and Pompeii is not a pastoral visit but a propaganda exercise, designed to legitimize the conciliar sect and consolidate its hold on the faithful. It is a journey through the abomination of desolation, a spectacle of false piety and spiritual deception.
True Catholics must reject this abomination. They must refuse to participate in the “Mass,” the “supplication,” the “entrustment,” or the “blessing” of Leo XIV. They must cling to the true Faith, the true Mass, the true sacraments, and the true devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, as taught by the unchanging Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
As Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself warned: “When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth, let him understand.” (Matthew 24:15). The conciliar sect, with its “Masses,” its “sacraments,” its “popes,” and its “shrines,” is the abomination of desolation, standing in the holy place. Let him who reads, understand. Let him who has ears to hear, hear. And let him who is faithful, remain faithful unto death.
