Vatican News portal reports that the usurper Robert Prevost, styling himself “Pope Leo XIV,” addressed the 47th Rimini Meeting of the Communion and Liberation movement on August 22, 2026. His discourse centered on a sentimentalized “mercy” divorced from justice, a “fraternity” severed from the Kingship of Christ, and a “Church” reduced to a humanitarian NGO. The antipope cited the heretical encyclical Fratelli Tutti as authoritative, declared that “there can be no enemies,” and exhorted youth to “love the Church” — meaning the conciliar sect occupying the Vatican. This address is a manifesto of the religion of man, substituting the Social Reign of Christ the King with a Masonic brotherhood of the “dignity of the person.”
The Abolition of the Kingship of Christ in Favor of a Naturalistic Fraternity
The address at Rimini is a practical application of the condemned proposition that “the Catholic religion should not be the only religion of the State” (Pius IX, Syllabus, Error 77). Prevost declares: “Before borders, definitions, and institutions, there are always people.” This is the primacy of conscience and the primacy of the individual over the primacy of God. It is the very essence of Liberalism, condemned by Pius IX in Quanta Cura and the Syllabus, and by Leo XIII in Libertas Praestantissimum: “The Church… cannot renounce her duty of teaching, governing, and leading all to eternal salvation… The State must leave the Church full freedom and independence.”
By citing Fratelli Tutti — a document that enshrines false ecumenism and religious indifferentism — as a teaching to “cultivate social friendship,” the antipope confirms that the conciliar sect has abandoned the Divine Mandate to “teach all nations… teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you” (Mt 28:19-20). The “fraternity” preached at Rimini is the fraternité of 1789, the Masonic triad minus Liberté and Égalité, retaining only a sentimental Fraternité that knows no Father in Heaven. As Pius XI teaches in Quas Primas: “When God and Jesus Christ were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed… the entire human society had to be shaken.” The Rimini address is the liturgy of this shaking.
“Evil Is Not Overcome by Evil”: The Pacifism of the Antichrist
The assertion “evil is not overcome by evil” is a sophism of the devil masquerading as Gospel. It confuses just punishment with evil. The Church has always taught, with St. Thomas Aquinas (Summa Theologiae II-II, q. 108, a. 2), that “Vindicta non est mala, sed bona” — vengeance (just punishment) is not evil but good, when it restores the order of justice. The Catechism of the Council of Trent teaches that the civil magistrate exercises the power of the sword not in vain: “He is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil” (Rom 13:4).
Prevost’s “realism of mercy which recognizes that there can be no enemies” is a direct contradiction of Sacred Scripture: “Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword” (Mt 10:34). “He that is not with me, is against me” (Mt 12:30). The Enemies of the Cross (Phil 3:18) exist objectively. To deny this is to deny the antithesis between the City of God and the City of Man (St. Augustine, De Civitate Dei). This “mercy” is the misericordia quaedam of the Modernists condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis: a mercy that denies the rights of God and the reality of sin as an offense against Divine Majesty.
The “Church Grows by Attraction”: The Heresy of Ecclesial Naturalism
The repetition of the Bergoglian slogan “the Church does not engage in proselytism. Instead, she grows by ‘attraction'” is a formal denial of the missionary mandate. Proselytism (from proselytos, “one who has come over”) is precisely the work of the Apostles: “Converting the Gentiles” (Acts 15:3). Pius XI in Quas Primas declares: “The Church… demands for itself… full freedom and independence from secular authority… to teach, govern, and lead all to eternal happiness.” The “attraction” theory reduces the Church to a spiritual boutique, denying her potestas coactiva (coercive power) in the spiritual order — the power to bind and loose, to anathematize heresy, to exclude the obstinate from the communion of the faithful.
This is the ecclesiology of communion of Vatican II (Lumen Gentium), which replaces the perfect society (Pius XI, Quas Primas; Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum) with a “people of God” wandering in “synodality.” The antipope’s call to “always love the Church” is a call to love the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Mt 24:15). As St. Cyprian teaches: “He cannot have God for his Father who has not the Church for his mother” (De Unitate Ecclesiae, 6). But the “Church” Prevost presides over is the synagogue of Satan (Apoc 2:9), the counter-church of the New Advent.
Anthropocentrism and the “Dignity of the Person”: The Idol of the Conciliar Sect
The entire discourse revolves around the “dignity of being children of God” understood naturalistically — as a universal human quality independent of sanctifying grace, baptism of water, and profession of the true Faith. This is the heresy of the “anonymous Christian” (Karl Rahner), condemned implicitly by Humani Generis (Pius XII) and explicitly by the Holy Office (1949, Letter to the Archbishop of Boston). The “children of God” in Scripture are “those who are led by the Spirit of God” (Rom 8:14), “born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (Jn 1:13) — through the lavacrum regenerationis (Tit 3:5).
Prevost’s “young people” are praised for their “adherence to Christ” while the content of that adherence — the integral Catholic Faith, the Traditional Latin Mass, the rejection of the Novus Ordo, the recognition of the vacancy of the Holy See — is entirely absent. The “Church” they belong to is the conciliar sect. Their “baptism” in “secularized societies” is likely the invalid Novus Ordo rite or a baptism of desire without explicit faith. The antipope celebrates quantity without quality, numbers without truth.
Unmasking “Unjust Structures”: Liberation Theology in Vatican Vestments
The call to “expose unjust structures of power that lie at the root of poverty, inequality, war and environmental disasters” is pure Liberation Theology — the theology of the praxis condemned by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (1984, Libertatis Nuntius; 1986, Libertatis Conscientia). It substitutes temporal liberation for eternal salvation, structural change for conversion of heart, political activism for sanctity.
The language — “idolatry of profit,” “business of death,” “technology and finance” — is the rhetoric of the World Economic Forum and the United Nations Agenda 2030, not the language of the Vicarius Christi. Pius XI in Quadragesimo Anno condemned the “idolatry of the market” but rooted the remedy in “the reconstruction of the social order” according to Christian principles, not in a vague “civilization of love” that welcomes all religions and none. The antipope’s “courageous pioneers” are the useful idiots of the Masonic New World Order, building the City of Man on the ruins of the City of God.
The Communion and Liberation Movement: A Conciliar Trojan Horse
The Rimini Meeting is the showcase of Communion and Liberation (CL), a movement founded by Fr. Luigi Giussani, fully integrated into the conciliar sect. CL embodies the hermeneutic of continuity — the great deception that Vatican II is “in continuity with Tradition” while actually rupturing it. Giussani’s “religious sense” methodology subjects Revelation to human experience, inverting the ordo cognoscendi: “Faith comes by hearing” (Rom 10:17), not by “experience.” The movement’s “charism” is emotionalism substituted for grace, community substituted for the Mystical Body.
That the antipope chooses CL for his pastoral visit confirms the strategic alliance between the paramasonic structure in the Vatican and the controlled opposition of “ecclesial movements.” They are the new religious orders of the counter-church, designed to channel “traditional” energies into the synodal swamp. As St. Pius X warned in Pascendi: “The Modernist… wishes the laity to take an active part in the government of the Church… to democratize the Church.” CL is the avant-garde of this democratization.
Silence on the Supernatural: The Gravest Accusation
Not one word on: the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass; the Sacraments (especially Confession and Extreme Unction); the State of Grace; Mortal Sin; Hell; Purgatory; Heaven; the Blessed Virgin Mary (Mediatrix of All Graces); the Communion of Saints; the Last Judgment; the Social Kingship of Christ the King; the duty of the State to profess the Catholic Faith; the condemnation of Freemasonry; the necessity of the Catholic Church for salvation (Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus).
This total silence on the supernatural order is the nota criminis of the Antichurch. It confirms the definition of Modernism by St. Pius X: “The Modernist… eliminates the supernatural entirely… reduces everything to the natural order” (Pascendi, §13). The “God” of the Rimini address is a vague, immanent “Love” — the Deus sive Natura of Spinoza, the Great Architect of Freemasonry. The “Christ” is a humanitarian revolutionary, not the Incarnate Word, King of Kings, Judge of the Living and the Dead.
Conclusion: The Rimini Address as a Profession of the Anti-Faith
The address at Rimini 2026 is not a pastoral exhortation; it is a manifesto of the religion of the Antichrist. It proclaims: Fraternity without Paternity; Mercy without Justice; Love without Truth; Church without Dogma; Salvation without the Cross; Unity without the Faith. It is the synthesis of all errors condemned by the Syllabus, by Pascendi, by Quas Primas, by Mortalium Animos, by Humani Generis.
“If any man preach to you a gospel besides that which you have received, let him be anathema” (Gal 1:9). Robert Prevost, the usurper “Leo XIV,” stands anathema sit. The faithful who “love the Church” as he commands love the whore of Babylon (Apoc 17). The true Church — the Ecclesia Militans — endures in the catacombs of Tradition, among bishops and priests who keep the Faith entire, who offer the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary, who teach the Catechism of Trent, who await the Restoration of All Things in Christ (Eph 1:10). Non praevalebunt.
