The EWTN News portal reports that the individual currently occupying the Vatican, Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), met with the Puerto Rican reggaeton artist Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) and his family at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid on June 8, 2026. The portal notes that the two were able to “greet each other and converse,” taking advantage of both being in the city simultaneously. The archbishop of Madrid, Cardinal José Cobo Cano, had previously stated that “the pope is never closed to speaking with anyone who wishes to enter into dialogue with him.” The article further mentions that Bad Bunny’s reggaeton repertoire has been “sharply criticized for its vulgarity and degradation of human behavior,” yet the Puerto Rico Bishops’ Conference President Eusebio Ramos welcomed the singer’s words that “have reminded us of Christian values, such as fraternity and the primacy of love.” This meeting, far from being an isolated anecdote, is a symptomatic manifestation of the profound apostasy that has consumed the conciliar sect, demonstrating its utter abandonment of the Church’s supernatural mission in favor of a naturalistic embrace of worldly degradation.
The “Dialogue” with the World: A Betrayal of the Church’s Mission
The statement attributed to the “archbishop” of Madrid, José Cobo Cano, that “the pope is never closed to speaking with anyone who wishes to enter into dialogue with him,” encapsulates the very essence of the modernist revolution. This sentiment, far from being a virtue, is a direct repudiation of the Church’s divine mandate. The Church, established by Christ as a perfect society, demands for itself full freedom and independence from secular authority, and its mission is to teach, govern, and lead all to eternal happiness, not to engage in aimless “dialogue” with every purveyor of vulgarity. Pius XI, in his encyclical Quas Primas, unequivocally stated that “the Church, established by Christ as a perfect society, demands for itself by a right belonging to it, which it cannot renounce, full freedom and independence from secular authority, and that in fulfilling the mission entrusted to it by God – to teach, govern, and lead all to eternal happiness, those who belong to the Kingdom of Christ – it cannot depend on anyone’s will.” The conciliar sect has inverted this divine order, making itself dependent on the world’s approval and seeking “dialogue” with its enemies rather than proclaiming the immutable truths of the Faith.
The Embrace of Vulgarity: A Symptom of Moral Collapse
The article itself acknowledges that Bad Bunny’s reggaeton repertoire has been “sharply criticized for its vulgarity and degradation of human behavior.” Yet, instead of unequivocally condemning such art as an offense against God and a corrupting influence on souls, the conciliar structures choose to engage with its creator. This is not merely a lapse in judgment; it is a fundamental betrayal of the Church’s duty to guard the purity of faith and morals. The Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX explicitly condemns the notion that “the civil liberty of every form of worship, and the full power, given to all, of overtly and publicly manifesting any opinions whatsoever and thoughts, conduce more easily to corrupt the morals and minds of the people, and to propagate the pest of indifferentism” (Proposition 79). By embracing an artist whose work is characterized by “vulgarity and degradation,” the conciliar sect actively participates in the propagation of this pest, demonstrating its complete abandonment of the Church’s prophetic role to condemn sin and error.
The Illusion of “Christian Values” in Worldly Art
Perhaps most disturbing is the statement from the Puerto Rico Bishops’ Conference President, Eusebio Ramos, who, while not supporting the artist’s musical genre, “welcomes the words of the singer that ‘have reminded us of Christian values, such as fraternity and the primacy of love.'” This is a classic modernist distortion, extracting a superficial, naturalistic “good” from an otherwise morally bankrupt context, thereby legitimizing the corruption. True Christian values are not merely “fraternity” and “love” in a sentimental, worldly sense, but are rooted in the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity, and the moral virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. To suggest that an artist whose work is characterized by “vulgarity and degradation” can authentically remind us of Christian values is a blasphemous mockery of those values. It reflects the modernist error condemned by St. Pius X in Lamentabili sane exitu, which rejects the idea that “the Church is an enemy of the progress of natural and theological sciences” (Proposition 57) and instead seeks to reconcile the Church with the spirit of the age, even when that age is steeped in moral decay.
The “Abomination of Desolation” in the Holy Place
The meeting between Leo XIV and Bad Bunny is not an isolated incident but a logical consequence of the conciliar revolution. Since the Second Vatican Council, the structures occupying the Vatican have systematically dismantled the Church’s supernatural character, replacing it with a naturalistic humanism that seeks relevance and acceptance in the eyes of the world. This “Church of the New Advent” has embraced false ecumenism, religious liberty, and the cult of man, all of which are condemned by the pre-conciliar Magisterium. The Syllabus of Errors explicitly condemns the proposition that “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” (Proposition 77), and that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Proposition 80). The meeting with Bad Bunny is a grotesque embodiment of this “reconciliation” with the world, where the occupant of Peter’s throne, rather than being a fearless defender of truth and morality, becomes a mere celebrity greeting another celebrity, blurring the sacred lines between the City of God and the city of man.
The Silence on Supernatural Realities
What is most glaringly absent from this entire narrative is any mention of the supernatural mission of the Church, the salvation of souls, the reality of sin, the necessity of conversion, or the final judgment. The article, and the actions it describes, operate entirely within a naturalistic framework, concerned with public relations, “dialogue,” and superficial “values.” This silence is the gravest accusation against the conciliar sect. The true Church, guided by the Holy Ghost, has always understood that its primary concern is the eternal destiny of souls, not its temporal image. Pius XI, in Quas Primas, reminded rulers and governments that “not only private individuals, but also rulers and governments have the duty to publicly honor Christ and obey Him: for it will remind them of the final judgment, in which Christ, whom not only was cast out of the state, but was also forgotten and ignored through contempt, will very severely avenge these insults, because His royal dignity demands that all relations in the state be ordered on the basis of God’s commandments and Christian principles.” The meeting with Bad Bunny is a stark illustration of how the conciliar sect has abandoned this divine mandate, preferring the fleeting applause of the world to the eternal truths of the Gospel.
A Call to Reject the Neo-Church and Return to Tradition
This incident serves as yet another undeniable proof that the structures occupying the Vatican are not the true Church of Christ. They are a paramasonic structure, an “abomination of desolation” in the holy place, as foretold by Our Lord Himself (Matthew 24:15). The faithful are called to reject this modernist apostasy and return to the immutable Tradition of the Church, which alone offers the sure path to salvation. This means adhering to the true Mass, the unchanging dogmas, and the moral teachings of the pre-conciliar Magisterium. It means recognizing that the “popes” since John XXIII are usurpers, having embraced heresies and errors that automatically sever them from the true body of the Church, as St. Robert Bellarmine and other theologians affirm. The meeting between Leo XIV and Bad Bunny is not merely a news item; it is a scandal, a blasphemy, and a clear sign that the conciliar sect has completely severed itself from the divine constitution of the Church. Let the faithful, therefore, not be deceived by the outward appearances of this neo-church, but let them hold fast to the true Faith, unsullied by the corruptions of the modern world.
