EWTN Vatican Bureau reports that “Pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) has appointed Father Geraldo Ramírez Torres as the ninth bishop of the Diocese of Ponce, Puerto Rico, while accepting the resignation of Bishop Rubén Antonio González Medina, C.M.F. The article details the biographical profile of the newly appointed “bishop,” his academic background at the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico, and his statements about his priestly vocation. This routine personnel matter, presented by the modernist media as a normal event of an institutional body, in reality is another link in the chain of the ongoing occupation of the vacant Apostolic See and the consolidation of the power of the conciliar sect.
The Empty Gestures of an Empty See
The appointment of bishops by the conciar structures in the Vatican is an administrative act of the abomination of desolation that now sits in the temple of God. The article presents the appointment of Geraldo Ramírez Torres as a routine event, yet it fails to address the fundamental issue: the total absence of any valid papal authority behind this appointment. Leo XIV (Prevost), as a manifest heretic and usurper, possesses no power to grant jurisdiction or appoint bishops. The acceptance of Bishop González Medina’s resignation is equally null, as one cannot validly resign a position into the hands of an illegitimate authority when the hierarchy itself has collapsed.
The article’s biographical summary of the new “bishop” is a classic example of the modernist cult of personality. We are told of his birth in Villalba in 1967, his priestly ordination in 1991, and his academic credentials. Not a single word is said about his theological stance regarding the errors of Modernism, his stance on the Social Reign of Christ the King, or his position on the validity of the New Mass. The only quoted statement is a sentimental, pietistic platitude:
“I accepted the call aware that I wasn’t the best clay, but with the conviction that he is indeed the greatest and best potter.”
This is the language of the charismatic movement and naturalistic humanism, not of a shepherd ready to defend the flock against the wolves of heresy. It is the language of a man formed by the post-conciliar system, which replaces the hard truths of dogma with the soft soap of “dedication” and “example.”
The “Marianist” Connection and the Spirit of the New Church
A particularly telling detail in the article is the origin of Ramírez Torres’s vocation. He attributes it to
“a devout family and the example and dedication of the Marianist priests and brothers.”
The Marianist congregation, like almost all modernized religious orders, has been a hotbed of the nouvelle théologie and the spirit of Vatican II. To owe one’s priestly formation to such an influence is to confess allegiance to the very forces that destroyed the Church from within. True vocations were formed in the immortal tradition of the saints, not in the experimental laboratories of the post-conciliar revolution.
The article also mentions his long service at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The very title “Our Lady of Guadalupe” has been exploited by the conciliar sect to promote a naturalistic, socio-cultural version of Catholicism, often stripped of its supernatural context of conversion and penance, and used as a tool for social justice activism rather than the salvation of souls. The fact that he has been the parish priest there since 2004 and vicar general since 2021 indicates a perfect alignment with the administrative and pastoral agenda of the occupying regime.
The Vacant See and the Myth of “Resignation”
The acceptance of the resignation of Bishop Rubén Antonio González Medina is a canonical farce. In the true Church, a bishop cannot simply “resign” his office into the hands of an antipope. The resignation is a juridical act that presupposes a valid superior. Since the Chair of Peter is vacant (sede vacante), the resignation is canonically meaningless and invalid. The only valid authority in such a catastrophic situation would be a council of true bishops, which the conciar sect will never convene because it would mean their own automatic condemnation.
The administrative reshuffling within the Diocese of Ponce is a bureaucratic procedure within a paramasonic structure. The article notes that the diocese is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of San Juan and part of the “Catholic Church in the United States.” This geographical-administrative categorization is the language of a corporate entity, not of the Mystical Body of Christ. The true Church in Puerto Rico, as in the rest of the world, survives only in the faithful who reject the conciliar revolution and its illegitimate hierarchy.
Conclusion: A Call to Reject the Occupation
The appointment of Geraldo Ramírez Torres is a non-event for those who retain the Catholic faith. It is merely another step in the consolidation of the modernist occupation of dioceses. The EWTN article, with its bureaucratic tone and naturalistic presentation, serves to normalize the rule of the Antichrist’s sect in the Holy See.
The duty of the faithful is to recognize the signs of the times and reject all acts of jurisdiction emanating from the usurpers. The Diocese of Ponce, like all dioceses currently occupied by the conciar sect, is ruled by men who have no authority from Christ. The true Diocese of Ponce endures only in those who profess the integral Catholic faith, attend the true Mass of all times, and refuse any communion with the modernist occupiers. Let us pray for the deliverance of the faithful in Puerto Rico from the snares of the neo-church, and for the ultimate restoration of the true Papacy and the Social Reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King.
