Vatican News portal reports that on May 9, 2026, the usurper antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) received members of the Edith Haberland-Wagner Foundation and the Augustiner-Bräu brewery, using the occasion to reflect on the Augustinian tradition of service and to recall the teachings of his predecessor, the apostate Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Francis), from the encyclical *Laudato si’*. The article describes how Leo XIV encouraged the pilgrims to use the gifts of creation wisely and justly, for the sake of peace and the common good, while expressing gratitude for their “prayerful support” of his ministry. This event is a textbook example of the conciliar sect’s reduction of the Faith to naturalistic humanitarianism, where the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the salvation of souls are seamlessly replaced by beer, “creation care,” and the social doctrine of Modernism.
The Abomination of Desolation in the House of God
The scene described is nothing short of grotesque: the occupier of the Vatican, styling himself “Holy Father,” receives a delegation from a commercial brewery and a secular foundation, and rather than seizing the opportunity to preach the necessity of baptism, the state of grace, the Four Last Things, or the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, he delivers a homily on “responsible stewardship of creation” and the “common good” — the very language of Masonic humanitarianism that the true Popes of the Church have consistently condemned. That this occurs in the Vatican, the heart of Christendom, makes it all the more repugnant. Our Lord Jesus Christ drove the money-changers from the Temple with a whip (John 2:15); Leo XIV welcomes them with open arms and blesses their enterprise with references to a heretical encyclical.
The Ghost of Bergoglio: Laudato Si’ as Counter-Gospel
The most spiritually toxic element of this address is Leo XIV’s explicit invocation of Laudato si’, the encyclical of the apostate Bergoglio that elevated environmentalism to the status of quasi-religious dogma. The article states that Leo XIV “recalled the late Pontiff’s teaching on ‘the God-given grandeur of the whole of creation,’ including the food and drink that sustain human life,” and quoted the encyclical’s assertion that “everything is, as it were, a caress of God.” This is not Catholic theology; it is pantheism — the very error condemned by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 1: “There exists no Supreme, all-wise, all-provident Divine Being, distinct from the universe, and God is identical with the nature of things.” To speak of creation as a “caress of God” in a manner that obscures the distinction between Creator and creature, and to place beer and environmental policy at the center of a papal address, is to commit the very pantheistic confusion that the Church has always anathematized.
St. Pius X, in Lamentabili sane exitu (1907), condemned the modernist proposition that “the progress of sciences requires a reform of the concept of Christian doctrine concerning God, creation, Revelation, the Person of the Incarnate Word, and Redemption” (Proposition 64). Laudato si’ and its enthusiastic embrace by Leo XIV represent precisely this: a “reform” of Catholic teaching subordinated to the prevailing secular ideology of environmentalism, dressed in the borrowed language of Saint Francis of Assisi but emptied of all supernatural content.
The “Common Good” Without Christ the King
Leo XIV’s repeated invocation of the “common good” and the assertion that “justice is a prerequisite for peace” sounds superficially Catholic, but in the absence of any mention of the Kingship of Christ, the necessity of the true Faith, the sacraments, or the supernatural order, it is nothing more than the language of the United Nations and Masonic lodges. Pope Pius XI, in the encyclical Quas primas (1925), taught with absolute clarity: “The state is happy not by one means, and man by another; for the state is nothing else than a harmonious association of men.” And further: “When God and Jesus Christ — as we lamented — were removed from laws and states and when authority was derived not from God but but from men, the foundations of that authority were destroyed.”
The “common good” that Leo XIV promotes is a common good without Christ, without His Church, without the Most Holy Sacrifice, and without the supernatural end of man. It is the common good of the Masonic “City of Man,” erected in opposition to the City of God. Pius IX, in the Syllabus of Errors, condemned the proposition that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Proposition 80). Leo XIV’s address is a living embodiment of this condemned proposition.
The Augustinian Tradition Hijacked
It is a particular blasphemy that Leo XIV invokes the name and spirituality of Saint Augustine — the Doctor of Grace, the hammer of Pelagius, the theologian who taught that man is utterly dependent on God’s grace for salvation — in order to bless a brewery pilgrimage and promote environmental activism. Saint Augustine taught that “our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee, O God” (Confessiones, I, 1). The Augustinian tradition is one of interior conversion, contemptus mundi, and the absolute primacy of the supernatural end. To weaponize this tradition in the service of “social responsibility” and “creation care” as defined by secular foundations is to commit an act of intellectual and spiritual fraud against one of the greatest Doctors of the Church.
The Silence That Condemns
As is invariably the case with addresses from the conciliar sect, what is omitted is far more revealing than what is said. In this entire address, there is:
- No mention of the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass — the one true act of worship that makes peace with God possible.
- No mention of the sacraments — Baptism, Confession, the Eucharist — without which no one can be saved.
- No mention of the Kingship of Christ over nations, families, and individuals — the very doctrine Pius XI established the Feast of Christ the King to proclaim.
- No mention of the necessity of the Catholic Faith for salvation — Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus.
- No mention of sin, repentance, or the Last Judgment — the realities that should dominate every pastoral encounter.
- No mention of the apostasy within the conciliar structures themselves — the very apostasy that has reduced the Vatican to a platform for secular ideology.
This silence is not accidental; it is systematic. It is the silence of apostasy, the silence of the abomination of desolation sitting in the holy place (Matthew 24:15). The conciar sect has nothing to say about supernatural truth because it has rejected supernatural truth in favor of the “cult of man” — the very error Pius IX condemned as the synthesis of all liberal errors.
The Edith Haberland-Wagner Foundation: Philanthropy Without Faith
The article describes the Foundation as supporting projects in “monument protection, education, youth development, art and culture, charitable causes, sports, animal welfare, the environment, and science.” This is the typical portfolio of Masonic and secular humanitarian organizations — a comprehensive program of naturalistic “good works” that systematically excludes the one thing necessary: the salvation of souls through the Catholic Faith and the sacraments. Pope Pius XI warned in Quas primas that “the more the sweetest Name of our Redeemer is omitted with unworthy silence in international gatherings and parliaments, the more loudly it must be confessed and the more urgently the rights of Christ the Lord’s royal dignity and authority must be recognized.” Leo XIV does the opposite: he omits the Name of Christ from the substance of his address and mentions it only in the most generic, ceremonial terms, while filling the content with the agenda of secular foundations.
Conclusion: The Paramasonic Structure Continues Its Mission
This event is not an aberration; it is the normal functioning of the conciliar sect. Leo XIV, like his predecessors John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Bergoglio, continues the program of transforming the Catholic Church into a paramasonic structure dedicated to the promotion of naturalistic humanism, environmentalism, interreligious dialogue, and the “common good” defined without reference to God or His Law. The fact that a commercial brewery can receive a papal audience and a quasi-homily on environmental stewardship — while the true Faith, the Mass, and the sacraments are nowhere to be found — demonstrates beyond any doubt that the structures occupying the Vatican are not the Catholic Church. They are, as the Sedevacantist position holds, the abomination of desolation (Matthew 24:15), and those who participate in their “ministries” without recognizing their apostasy are complicit in the destruction of the Faith.
The faithful are called to reject these structures entirely, to hold fast to the integral Catholic Faith as taught by the true Popes, the Council of Trent, and the unchanging Magisterium, and to seek the sacraments only from priests who are validly ordained and who profess the full Catholic Faith without compromise with Modernism. Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus — outside the true Church, there is no salvation. And the structures occupying the Vatican are not the true Church.
