Vatican News portal reports the schedule of the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) for 22 August 2026, a whirlwind visit to the Republic of San Marino and Rimini designed to project an illusion of pastoral legitimacy upon the paramasonic structures occupying the Vatican. The itinerary includes meetings with civil authorities, a simulated Eucharistic Adoration in the Basilica of San Marino, a private visit to Augustinian nuns, and participation in the Communion and Liberation Meeting for Friendship among Peoples culminating in a Novus Ordo service at Rimini’s Port Square. This spectacle of naturalistic diplomacy and liturgical idolatry exposes the utter bankruptcy of the conciliar sect’s claim to the Petrine office.
The Usurper’s Itinerary: A Theater of Naturalistic Diplomacy
The cited article relates that the antipope will depart from the Vatican heliport to meet with the Secretaries of State and hold a private meeting with the Captains Regent in the Council Chamber of the Twelve, where he will sign the Book of Distinguished Guests. He will then greet those gathered in the square and impart his Apostolic Blessing. This entire sequence is a grotesque parody of the Church’s divine mission. Pius XI, in Quas Primas, thundered that Christ’s reign encompasses not only Catholic nations but all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ. He warned that when God and Jesus Christ were removed from laws and states and when authority was derived not from God but from men, the foundations of that authority were destroyed. The antipope’s courting of the Captains Regent—civil rulers of a microstate—while ignoring the Social Kingship of Christ, is the precise embodiment of the error condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus: The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church (Error 55). The antipope acts not as Vicar of Christ, but as a head of a secular NGO seeking photo opportunities with temporal powers. His Apostolic Blessing is null and void, for a manifest heretic cannot be Pope… a non-Christian in no way can be Pope (St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice, cited in Defense of Sedevacantism). Since the line of usurpers began with John XXIII, every occupant of the Vatican has publicly defected from the Catholic Faith through the modernist heresies of Vatican II; thus, by Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code and the Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio, they lost office ipso facto without any declaration. Robert Prevost is a layman masquerading as a bishop.
The Eucharistic Adoration: Idolatry Masquerading as Worship
The article highlights Eucharistic Adoration will take place, together with the veneration of the relics of St Marinus, in the presence of priests, consecrated persons and representatives of the Diocese’s ecclesial life. This is the supreme insult to the Majesty of God. The lex orandi, lex credendi (the law of praying is the law of believing) dictates that the Novus Ordo Missae, fabricated by the Freemason Bugnini and promulgated by the antipope Paul VI, is a Protestantized memorial meal that denies the propitiatory Sacrifice of Calvary and the Real Presence as defined by the Council of Trent. Consequently, the “host” adored in the Basilica of San Marino is not the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ, but mere bread. The adoration offered to it is idolatry, forbidden by the First Commandment. St. Pius X in Lamentabili Sane Exitu condemned the Modernist proposition that The sacraments merely serve to remind man of the presence of the ever-benevolent Creator (Prop. 41). The conciliar sect’s “Eucharist” is exactly this: a symbol, not a Sacrament. The presence of the “bishop” Domenico Beneventi and “fr.” Marco Mazzanti—men ordained in the invalid post-1968 rites or consecrated by heretical “bishops”—adds the sacrilege of simulated holy orders to the idolatry. The veneration of relics in this context is stripped of its supernatural efficacy, reduced to a folkloristic prop for the cameras.
Communion and Liberation: A Modernist Trojan Horse
The antipope’s visit to the Meeting for Friendship among Peoples, organized by Communion and Liberation under the title The love that moves the sun and the other stars, reveals the true spirit animating this pseudo-papacy. Communion and Liberation, founded by the modernist Don Giussani, is a quintessential product of the nouvelle théologie condemned by Pius XII in Humani Generis. It substitutes the cult of man for the cult of God, replacing the social reign of Christ the King with a vague, immanentist friendship among peoples. The article notes the antipope will visit exhibitions on St Augustine and Léon Harmel. Harmel, a 19th-century Catholic industrialist, is here instrumentalized to promote a false “social Catholicism” divorced from the integral Faith—precisely the clerico-liberalism condemned in the Syllabus (Section IV). The antipope’s meeting with sick people, persons with disabilities and people living in poverty assisted by Caritas at Rimini Cathedral is pure humanitarian theater. Caritas structures are the welfare arm of the neo-church, distributing temporal aid while withholding the Bread of Life—the True Doctrine and the True Sacraments. This is the naturalism anathematized by Pius IX: The teaching of the Catholic Church is hostile to the well-being and interests of society (Error 40, condemned as false). The antipope inverts the order: he serves the body while starving the soul, fulfilling the Modernist program outlined in Lamentabili: The dogmas of faith should be understood according to their practical function, i.e., as binding in action, rather than as principles of belief (Prop. 26).
The Nullity of the Mass at Port Square
The climax of the visit is the Mass at 6:30 p.m. at Port Square. The article calls it Mass; in reality, it is the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel and referenced by Our Lord (Matt. 24:15). The Novus Ordo service, celebrated versus populum on a portable table, with lay “ministers,” vernacular chatter, and a fabricated “Eucharistic Prayer” that omits the clear sacrificial language of the Roman Canon, is not the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary. It is a Lutheran supper. Pope Paul IV’s Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio declares that if a heretic is elected, his promotion or elevation… shall be null, void, and of no effect. Leo XIV, a manifest formal heretic adhering to the Vatican II errors (religious liberty, ecumenism, collegiality, new mass), possesses zero authority. His “presiding” is a layman leading a Protestant service. The faithful who attend, thinking they fulfill their Sunday obligation, commit objective idolatry. The Apostolic Blessing imparted earlier and the “grace” of this “Mass” are nil. Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus—outside the Church (the true Church of the catacombs, adhering to Tradition) there is no salvation, and certainly no valid Sacraments from the ministers of the anti-church.
Symptomatic of the Great Apostasy: The Reign of Antichrist
This visit is not an anomaly; it is the modus operandi of the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:15). The antipope’s schedule—helicopter flights, civil receptions, curated exhibitions, humanitarian photo-ops, open-air Novus Ordo—mirrors the agenda of a secular head of state, not the Successor of Peter. The Syllabus condemns the idea that The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization (Error 80). Leo XIV does exactly this. The False Fatima Apparitions file correctly identifies the Masonic Operation ‘Fatima’ as a disinformation strategy to divert attention from the modernist apostasy within the Church. The current “pope’s” relentless globetrotting serves the same Masonic purpose: normalizing the paramasonic structure occupying Rome, legitimizing the neo-church as the “Catholic Church” in the eyes of the world, and anesthetizing the few remaining faithful with spectacle. The silence on sin, hell, judgment, the necessity of the Catholic Faith for salvation, the Social Kingship of Christ, the immutability of dogma is deafening. This silence is the gravest accusation. As St. Pius X taught in Pascendi, Modernism is the synthesis of all heresies. The antipope Leo XIV is its living embodiment. The true Church endures not in the Vatican gardens, but in the catacombs where valid bishops and priests offer the Immemorial Mass of Tradition and preserve the Depositum Fidei intact. Quo vadis, Domine? The Lord has already answered: He is not in the whirlwind of the neo-church, but in the still small voice of Tradition (1 Kings 19:11-12).
