The EWTN News portal, the propaganda organ of the conciliar sect, reports on September 9, 2026, that the usurper “Pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) has penned a foreword for a new edition of the pseudo-catechism YouCat: Love Forever, scheduled for release in November. The article, sourced from ACI Prensa, relates that the antipope tells young people love is “not a fleeting feeling but rather a decision, a journey, and a lifelong covenant,” emphasizing “serving through a generous gift of self” and the “DNA of Christianity” found in the Cross. This text is not a pastoral exhortation but a manifest declaration of the anthropocentric apostasy of the neo-church: it substitutes the sacramentum tantum and res et sacramentum of Holy Matrimony—indissoluble, ordered to procreation, and imaged in Christ’s union with the Church—with a modernist, phenomenological “covenant of self-gift” devoid of the primary end of marriage, the necessity of the state of grace, and the juridical reality of the bond ratified by God Himself.
The Usurper’s Voice: A False Magisterium from a Vacant See
The very premise of the article is an offense to the Sedes Petri. The man presented as “Pope Leo XIV” is Robert Prevost, a manifest modernist elevated by the paramasonic conclave of 2025. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches in De Romano Pontifice, “a Pope who is 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 began with John XXIII; Prevost is merely the latest occupant of the Chair of Pestilence. His “foreword” carries zero magisterial weight; it is the private opinion of a layman (at best a priest of doubtful orders under the Novus Ordo rite) masquerading as the Vicar of Christ. The faithful are bound to ignore him, for quod ab initio vitiosum est, non potest tractu temporis convalescere (what is void from the beginning cannot become valid by lapse of time). The EWTN report treats his words as authoritative teaching; this is the hallmark of the conciliar sect: the cult of the living “pope” replaces the immutable Tradition.
YouCat: The Catechism of the “Church of the New Advent”
The vehicle for this error is YouCat (“Youth Catechism”), a product of the “Church of the New Advent” engineered under the auspices of the antipope Benedict XVI (Ratzinger). It is not a catechism in the Catholic sense—a compendium of defined dogmas binding under pain of heresy—but a dialogical, phenomenological narrative designed to “accompany” youth in their “search for meaning.” The Syllabus of Pius IX condemns the proposition that “Divine revelation is imperfect, and therefore subject to a continual and indefinite progress” (Error 5). YouCat embodies this condemned evolutionism: it presents doctrine not as depositum fidei to be guarded, but as a “journey” to be “discovered.” The new edition, Love Forever, continues the deception by reducing the Sacrament of Matrimony to a “vocation to love” detached from its finis primarius.
“Love is a Decision”: The Phenomenological Reduction of Charity
The antipope’s central dictum—“Love is not a feeling but a decision”—is a classic modernist pivot from ontology to subjectivity. In Catholic theology, Caritas is a virtus theologica infusa, a supernatural habit infused by the Holy Ghost into the soul in the state of sanctifying grace (gratia sanctificans). It is not a human “decision” or an act of the will unaided by grace. The Council of Trent anathematizes those who say “man can believe, hope, love, or be penitent as he ought, without the inspiration of the Holy Ghost” (Sess. VI, Can. 3). By framing love as a “decision” and a “journey,” the antipope promotes Pelagianism: the idea that man can generate the “DNA of Christianity” by his own volition. He says God “endows us with the capacity to love as he loves,” but omits the sine qua non: this capacity is gratia sanans and gratia elevans, conferred in Baptism and preserved by Penance and the Most Holy Sacrifice. Without the state of grace, the “decision” to love is mere naturalism, amor concupiscentiae baptized in sentiment.
The Silence on the Primary End: Procreation and the Bona Matrimonii
This is the gravest theological bankruptcy of the text. In the entire foreword, as reported, there is not a single mention of children, procreation, the education of offspring, or the bonum prolis. Pius XI, in Casti Connubii (1930), infallibly teaches: “The primary end of marriage is the procreation and education of children… the secondary ends are mutual aid and the remedy of concupiscence.” The 1917 Code (Canon 1013) defines marriage as “matrimonium… cuius finis primarius est prolis generatio ac educatio”. The antipope’s “covenant” language—”a profound ‘yes’ to the other,” “mutual trust,” “forgiveness,” “daily striving for the good”—describes a companionate partnership, a naturalistic contract dissolvable by the withdrawal of consent. This is the heresy of the “personalist” norm championed by Wojtyla (John Paul II) in Gaudium et Spes and Familiaris Consortio, which inverts the ordo finium established by God. By silencing the finis primarius, the neo-church legitimizes the contraceptive mentality and the “marriage” of the sterile (by nature or will), reducing the Sacrament to a sacramentalized friendship.
The “DNA of Christianity” without the Propitiatory Sacrifice
The antipope points to the Cross as the “DNA of Christianity,” stating Christ “was willing to die for us.” This is soteriology stripped of the Mass. The Cross is the Hostia propitiatoria; its fruits are applied to souls through the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary offered by a valid priest in persona Christi. The “love” of Christ for the Church (Eph 5:25) is sponsal and sacrificial: “He delivered Himself up for it, that He might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life” (Eph 5:26). The antipope speaks of “fidelity,” “forgiveness,” and “daily striving” as a “reflection of Christ’s love,” but omits the laver of water (Baptism), the word of life (infallible Magisterium), and the Eucharistic Sacrifice which alone sustains the indissoluble bond. In the conciliar sect, where the Novus Ordo “mass” is a “table of assembly” and a “memorial” invalid in form and intention (lack of intentio faciendi quod facit Ecclesia), there is no supernatural fuel for this “decision.” The “love” proposed is a naturalistic ethic, a humanum elevated to the divine by fiat, exactly as condemned by St. Pius X in Lamentabili Sane Exitu (Prop. 22: “The dogmas which the Church proposes as revealed are not truths of divine origin but are a certain interpretation of religious facts…”).
False Ecumenism and the “Testimonies from Over 30 Countries”
The article boasts of “testimonies from young people in over 30 countries,” testifying that “the ideal to which Christ calls us is a fascinating treasure.” This is the democratization of revelation condemned by Pius IX (Syllabus, Error 15: “Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which… he shall consider true”) and Pius X (Pascendi: the Modernist appeal to “living experience” and “collective consciousness”). The “universal” appeal of YouCat is the mark of the ecumenical virus: a watered-down “Christianity” palatable to Protestants, Orthodox schismatics, and naturalists alike. It is the pan-Christian religion of the Masonic “Fatima” operation’s Stage 3: “ecumenical reinterpretation” (per the False Fatima Apparitions document). The “vocation to love” becomes the lowest common denominator for a one-world religion.
EWTN and ACI Prensa: The Propaganda Arm of the Abomination
The source, EWTN News / ACI Prensa, functions as the Pravda of the conciliar sect. It uncritically transmits the words of the usurper as “Holy Father,” “pontiff,” and “Pope Leo XIV,” legitimizing the occupation of the Vatican. The article notes the first edition was published “one week after the passing of Pope Francis in May 2025″—a seamless transition in the revolution, proving the continuity of the modernist project from Roncalli to Prevost. The “journalist,” Nicolás de Cárdenas, specializes in “socio-religious topics”—i.e., the sociology of the neo-church—rather than the scientia sacra. This media apparatus ensures the faithful are fed a steady diet of ersatz Catholicism, confusing the Church of Christ (which subsists in the catacombs of Tradition, served by valid bishops and priests holding the missa tridentina) with the paramasonic structure occupying Rome.
Conclusion: Return to the Casti Connubii and the True Mass
The foreword of the antipope Leo XIV to YouCat: Love Forever is a theological nullity and a spiritual poison. It presents a “marriage” without God as Author, without Grace as Principle, without Procreation as End, without the Cross as Sacrifice, and without the Church as Guardian. It is the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt 24:15), speaking “great things and blasphemies” (Apoc 13:5). True Catholics—those adhering to the integral faith of Trent, the Syllabus, Pascendi, Quas Primas, and Casti Connubii—must reject this counterfeit catechesis entirely. The only “decision” required of the faithful is the fides qua creditur: to believe all that the Holy Catholic Church believes, teaches, and proclaims to be revealed by God, sine glossa, and to assist only at the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary offered by priests validly ordained in the Apostolic Rite of St. Pius V. Non praevalebunt.
