The Vatican News portal, the official propaganda organ of the conciliar sect occupying the Vatican, reported on July 22, 2026, that the Director of the “Holy See Press Office,” Matteo Bruni, issued a statement denying media reports of a judicial decision in the case of the Jesuit “fr.” Marko Ivan Rupnik. Bruni claimed the “assessment of the case is still underway” by a “panel” examining documentation from dioceses, the Jesuit order, and “media reports,” insisting that “no information regarding the ongoing work can be shared.” He further asserted that a “canonical criminal trial is judicial in nature” and “is proceeding notwithstanding the statute of limitations.” This communiqué is not a pursuit of justice but a calculated maneuver by the paramasonic structures of the neo-church to obstruct truth, protect a notorious predator, and simulate legality where none exists, for a usurper antipope possesses no jurisdiction to judge anyone.
The Illusion of Due Process in a Vacant See
The “statement” attributed to Bruni functions as a smoke screen. The conciliar sect’s “press office” admits a “panel” is examining “media reports” alongside diocesan and Jesuit documentation. That a putative ecclesiastical tribunal relies on secular journalism for its evidentiary basis exposes the complete collapse of canonical order. True canonical procedure, rooted in the Corpus Iuris Canonici and the 1917 Code, demands strict judicial formality, not a “panel” assessing press clippings.
More fundamentally, the very concept of a “canonical criminal trial” under the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) is a juridical nullity. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches in De Romano Pontifice, 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.” The line of usurpers beginning with John XXIII has publicly professed the heresies of Modernism, religious liberty, and false ecumenism—condemned by St. Pius X in Lamentabili sane exitu and Pascendi Dominici gregis as the “synthesis of all errors.” Consequently, the See of Peter is vacant (sede vacante), and no valid jurisdiction emanates from the Vatican structures.
Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code, binding per se on the Church’s constitution, declares: “Every office becomes vacant by the mere fact and without any declaration… if the cleric… publicly defects from the Catholic faith.” Pope Paul IV’s Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio confirms that the promotion of a heretic “shall be null, void, and of no effect.” Therefore, the “judges,” the “panel,” and the “Director of the Press Office” hold no office. Their acts are irritae et inanes—void and empty.
Bureaucratic Newspeak Masking Criminal Complicity
The linguistic engineering of the statement reveals the naturalistic, legalistic mentality of the neo-church. Phrases like “assessment of the case,” “panel,” “documentation received,” and “proceeding notwithstanding the statute of limitations” belong to secular administrative law, not the potestas iudicialis of the Church. The Church judges for the salvation of souls (salus animarum suprema lex), not to manage public relations crises.
Bruni’s insistence that “no information… can be shared… out of respect for the process itself” and “to avoid causing further hurt” inverts the Catholic duty. The Syllabus of Errors (Pope Pius IX) condemns the proposition that “The civil government… has a right to an indirect negative power over religious affairs” (Error 41). Here, the neo-church adopts the modus operandi of the secular state: secrecy, stonewalling, and protection of the institution over the victim. The reference to “media reports” as a source for the “panel” is an admission that the conciliar hierarchy is driven by public opinion, not divine law.
The distinction drawn between “Canon Law” judging “the internal life of the Church” and Rupnik remaining “subject to the legislation of the countries” is a heretical bifurcation of jurisdiction. Quas Primas (Pius XI) teaches that Christ’s reign “encompasses all men… individuals, families, or states.” The Church cannot wash its hands of temporal crimes committed by its clerics by appealing to the “statute of limitations” of the civil power. This is the error of laicism condemned by Pius XI: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.”
The Impossibility of Canonical Jurisdiction Without a True Pope
The statement claims the “canonical criminal trial… will be able to determine, in accordance with Canon Law, whether or not the accused is guilty.” This is a lie. The 1983 “Code” promulgated by the antipope John Paul II (Wojtyła) is not Canon Law; it is a revolutionary instrument that abolished the censurae latae sententiae for heresy, redefined the Church as a “people of God” rather than a perfect society, and introduced the novelty of “prescription” (statute of limitations) for canonical crimes—directly contradicting the perennial principle that nullum tempus occurrit regi (time does not run against the King), applied to the Church’s rights.
Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus condemned the error that “The Church has not the power of using force, nor has she any temporal power, direct or indirect” (Error 24). The neo-church, by submitting to civil statutes of limitations, implicitly denies its own coercive jurisdiction (potestas coercitiva) and its right to judge its own ministers ipso facto for crimes like heresy and sexual abuse of spiritual daughters.
Regarding Rupnik specifically: he was “excommunicated” by the neo-church’s own “Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith” in 2020 for the delictum gravissimum of absolving an accomplice in a sin against the Sixth Commandment (Canon 1378 §1 CIC 1983 / Canon 2368 §1 CIC 1917). This excommunication was latae sententiae and reserved to the “Apostolic See.” The antipope Francis (Bergoglio) lifted it in 2023 without any public penance or retraction, an act of simulated jurisdiction by a non-pope. A manifest heretic cannot bind or loose. As Bellarmine states: “A non-Christian in no way can be Pope… a manifest heretic cannot be Pope.” Thus, Rupnik remains excommunicated ipso facto by divine law for his heresies and crimes, and the “trial” is a theatrical farce to legitimize his eventual rehabilitation.
The Jesuit Modernist Network and the Abomination of Desolation
Rupnik is not an isolated “bad apple”; he is the rotten fruit of the Jesuit order, the vanguard of the Modernist revolution since the 19th century. His “art” — a grotesque, pseudo-iconographic style saturating the Vatican and shrines worldwide — visually manifests the “new theology”: anthropocentric, sentimental, devoid of the tremendum et fascinans of the Holy. The “panel” examining his case includes Jesuits judging their own. This is the synagoga Satanae (synagogue of Satan) denounced by Pope Pius IX in the allocution attached to the Syllabus: “It is from them that the synagogue of Satan… takes its strength.”
The “False Fatima Apparitions” document correctly identifies the “Masonic Operation ‘Fatima'” as a diversion from the “modernist apostasy within the Church since the beginning of the 20th century.” The Rupnik cover-up follows the same “Disinformation strategy”: Stage 1 (implantation/narrative control), Stage 2 (globalization of cult/control of narrative via isolation), Stage 3 (takeover by modernists, concealment of truth, ecumenical reinterpretation). The “press office statement” is Stage 3 management: concealment of the Third Secret of the Rupnik dossier (the full extent of victims and episcopal complicity), reinterpretation of “justice” as “process,” legitimization of the neo-church’s fake tribunals.
The silence of the statement on the supernatural order is the gravest accusation. Not a word on the state of grace, the scandal to the faithful, the profanation of the sacraments, the duty of reparation to the Sacred Heart, or the Final Judgment. It is pure naturalism. As Pius XI wrote in Quas Primas: “This plague is the secularism of our times, so-called laicism… It began with the denial of Christ the Lord’s reign over all nations.” The conciliar sect, by denying Christ’s Kingship in the temporal sphere (submitting to civil statutes of limitations) and in the spiritual sphere (lacking a true Pope to bind and loose), has become the “abomination of desolation standing in the holy place” (Matt 24:15).
Conclusion: No Justice in the Whore’s Court
The Bruni statement is not a step toward justice; it is a fortress wall protecting the criminal network of the neo-church. True Catholics, adhering to the immutable Tradition and the vacant See, reject this “canonical criminal trial” as a simulation of justice by usurpers. The only tribunal that matters is the Tribunal of Christ the King, before Whom Rupnik, his Jesuit superiors, the “bishops” who covered for him, and the antipopes who empowered him will stand. Non praevalebunt (Matt 16:18). The gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church, but they have prevailed against the structures occupying Rome. Let the faithful flee the whore’s court (Apud 18:4) and cleave to the Catacombs of Tradition, where the true Mass is offered and the true Faith preserved.
