The National Catholic Register portal reports on August 6, 2026, that the Vatican City State Governorate has issued a new collector set of euro coins bearing the visage of the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), marking the first appearance of a “papal” image on the currency since 2014 when the previous usurper, Francis, demanded his face be removed. The coins, denominated in the Masonic European currency, feature the false pope’s coat of arms on the smaller denominations and his portrait on the larger, and are marketed for 59 euros through the Philatelic and Numismatic Office. This numismatic spectacle is not a benign tradition but a brazen act of idolatry, stamping the image of a manifest heretic and usurper upon the very coinage of a Masonic superstate, thereby sealing the conciliar sect’s servitude to the City of Man.
The Usurper’s Image on the Beast’s Currency: A Violation of the First Commandment
The article celebrates the return of the “papal image” to the euro coins as a restoration of tradition, citing the Middle Ages when true popes held temporal power over the Papal States. This historical analogy is a deliberate falsification. The Vatican City State, erected in 1929 by the Lateran Treaty with Fascist Italy, is a novus ordo construct, a territorial compromise with the Revolution that Pope Pius XI himself lamented as a “mutilation” of the Church’s rights even while accepting it as a pragmatic necessity (Quas Primas, citing the loss of the Papal States). Today, that state functions as a sovereign entity within the Masonic European Union, minting the euro—the currency of the Novus Ordo Saeculorum, the anti-Christian project foretold by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors (Error 55: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church”) and Error 39: “The State… is endowed with a certain right not circumscribed by any limits.”
To place the image of Robert Prevost, a public adherent of the heresies of Vatican II (religious liberty, ecumenism, collegiality), on this currency is to proclaim that the lex orandi of the conciliar sect is the lex credendi of the New World Order. It is the numismatic equivalent of the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:15). The First Commandment forbids graven images for worship; the conciliar sect mints them for commerce, rendering unto Caesar not only the things that are Caesar’s, but the very image of the Vicar of Christ—a false vicar at that—thereby denying Christus Rex His rights over civil society, so eloquently defended by Pope Pius XI in Quas Primas: “His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ.”
Canon 188.4 and Cum ex Apostolatus Officio: The Nullity of the Election
The article treats the “pontificate” of Leo XIV as a juridical fact. From the perspective of integral Catholic theology, it is a juridical nullity. Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code declares that an office becomes vacant ipso facto and without any declaration if a cleric “publicly defects from the Catholic faith.” Pope Paul IV’s Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio (1559) dogmatically confirms that if a Cardinal or Roman Pontiff “has defected from the Catholic Faith or fallen into some heresy… his promotion or elevation… shall be null, void, and of no effect.” Robert Prevost, as a cardinal and “pope” of the conciliar sect, publicly professes the heresies of Dignitatis Humanae (religious liberty condemned by Pius IX, Quanta Cura and Syllabus Error 15), Nostra Aetate (false ecumenism condemned by Pius XI, Mortalium Animos), and the new ecclesiology of Lumen Gentium (which makes the Church subsist in the Catholic Church rather than is the Catholic Church). By Bellarmine’s principle—”A manifest heretic cannot be Pope… he cannot be the head of something of which he is not a member” (De Romano Pontifice II, 30)—Prevost lost all jurisdiction ipso facto upon manifest profession of these heresies, long before his “election.” The coins, therefore, bear the image not of a pope, but of a layman usurping the Chair of Peter, a pseudepiscopus in the strict canonical sense.
The Numismatics of the Novus Ordo: From Francis’s False Humility to Leo’s False Glory
The article notes Francis’s 2017 request to remove his face from the coins, quoting the numismatic director Mauro Olivieri on the “difficulties with the EU authorities.” This detail is revealing. The conciliar “popes” negotiate their iconography with the Masonic European Central Bank. Francis’s refusal was not humility but a calculated gesture of the kenosis theology of the new religion: the “pope” as servant of the world, not Vicar of Christ. Leo XIV’s restoration of the portrait signals a shift in the sect’s propaganda: the “strong man” returned to legitimize the structure. Both are two sides of the same counterfeit coin. Pope St. Pius X in Lamentabili Sane Exitu (Prop. 58) condemned the Modernist error: “Truth changes with man, because it develops with him, in him, and through him.” The changing iconography on the coins—John Paul II, Benedict XVI, Francis’s arms, Leo XIV’s face—visually manifests the Modernist evolution of dogma: there is no immutable truth, only the current “pope’s” image. The coins are not money; they are tokens of the conciliar sect’s perpetual revolution.
The Euro: Tribute to the Masonic Republic
The article casually mentions that “except for the 5-euro coin, the Vatican coins can be used to buy things in the 21 European Union member states.” This is the crux. The Vatican City State, by adopting the euro in 2001, surrendered its monetary sovereignty to the European Central Bank, an institution founded on the Treaty of Rome (1957) and the Maastricht Treaty (1992), documents steeped in the secularist, anti-Christian ideology condemned by the Syllabus Errors 39, 40, 42, 55, 77, 80. The coins circulating in the EU are not merely currency; they are instruments of the Civitas Diaboli, facilitating the economic integration of nations under a regime that legalizes abortion, euthanasia, sodomy, and the persecution of the true Church. For the conciliar sect to mint these coins with the antipope’s face is to declare: “We are part of this system; we bless this system; we are the religious legitimization of this system.” This is the communicatio in sacris with the Antichrist foretold by Pope Leo XIII in Humanum Genus (1884) regarding the Masonic infiltration: “They boldly turn the help of powers and authorities which they have secured to trying to submit the Church of God to the most cruel servitude.”
The Collector’s Set: Simony and the Commodification of the Sacred
The coins are sold as a “collector coin set honoring the new pontificate” for 59 euros through the Philatelic and Numismatic Office. This is simony in its modern guise: the sale of spiritual significance (the “pope’s” image) for temporal profit. The faithful are enticed to purchase a piece of metal bearing the likeness of a heretic as a devotional object. Pope Pius XI in Quas Primas warned that when “God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” The conciliar sect, having removed Christ the King from the public order, replaces Him with the antipope on the coinage, selling the idol to the faithful as a souvenir. The 59-euro price tag is the triginta argenteis of the new Judas: the price of betraying the Kingship of Christ for a place in the Masonic marketplace.
The Silence on the Supernatural: The Gravest Accusation
The article is entirely devoid of any reference to the supernatural order. No mention of grace, the Mass, the Sacraments, the salvation of souls, the Final Judgment, or the Social Kingship of Christ. It treats the “pontificate” as a geopolitical event, the coins as numismatic curiosities, the Vatican as a sovereign state among states. This silence is the hallmark of the Civitas Terrena, the city of man that St. Augustine contrasts with the Civitas Dei. The conciliar sect’s “pope” appears on the euro not as Vicar of Christ but as a head of state, a princeps of the Masonic republic. The true Church, as Pius XI teaches in Quas Primas, “demands for itself by a right belonging to it, which it cannot renounce, full freedom and independence from secular authority.” The occupied Vatican, by minting the euro with the usurper’s face, renounces that freedom, proclaims its dependence, and canonizes its own captivity.
Conclusion: The Coins Cry Out
These coins are not a “honoring of the new pontificate.” They are a public monument to the Great Apostasy. They bear the image of a man who, by the immutable law of the Church (Canon 188.4, Cum ex Apostolatus Officio, Bellarmine), holds no office, possesses no jurisdiction, and is a member of the synagoga Satanae occupying the Holy Place. They circulate in the currency of the Beast, buying and selling in a system that criminalizes the Gospel. Every faithful Catholic must reject them as idolatrous tokens of the counterfeit church. Non est hic Christus; ecce in desertis, nolite exire (Matt. 24:26). The true Christ the King reigns not on the euro, but on the Cross and in the hearts of those who keep the Faith entire, sine macula et ruga, awaiting the restoration of all things in Christ—Instaurare omnia in Christo—which no antipope, no Masonic coin, no conciliar decree can ever achieve.
