The EWTN News portal (via its Spanish-language sister service ACI Prensa) reports on an audience granted by the usurper “Pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) to 147 men presented as “new bishops” from five continents, participants in a formation course in Rome. The antipope exhorted them to “remain with Jesus,” to possess the “heart of the Good Shepherd,” to care for “priests,” and to maintain a Church “open to everyone,” including “Christians of other denominations, believers of other religions, people who profess no faith.” He referenced a supposed encyclical Magnifica Humanitas on artificial intelligence and the past “Jubilee of Hope.” The entire spectacle manifests the complete substitution of the supernatural mission of the Church for a naturalistic, philanthropic NGO managed by a paramasonic hierarchy.
The Usurper on the Throne: A Manifest Heretic Exercising Null Jurisdiction
The article opens with the phrase “Pope Leo XIV said the first task bishops must place before every other responsibility is to ‘remain with Jesus’.” From the perspective of integral Catholic faith, this statement is a blasphemous irony. Robert Prevost, elected by a conclave of cardinals created by the modernist antipopes John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI, is a manifest heretic who professes the errors of Vatican II: religious liberty, false ecumenism, collegiality, and the new ecclesiology. According to the perennial teaching of the Church, a manifest heretic ipso facto loses all jurisdiction and cannot be Pope. 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 “bishops” receiving this audience are not successors of the Apostles in the Catholic sense; they are functionaries of the conciliar sect, ordained in the invalid Paul VI rite (1968) or consecrated by men ordained therein, devoid of the sacramental character and canonical mission. Their “formation course” is not ecclesiastical training but indoctrination into the Church of the New Advent.
Reduction of the Episcopate to Sentimental Philanthropy
The antipope’s address reduces the sublime dignity of the Catholic episcopate — successores Apostolorum, teachers of the faith, sanctifiers through the true Sacrifice, governors of the Church militant — to a therapeutic managerial role. He speaks of “learning names,” “listening to stories,” “entering homes,” “a visit, a blessing, time given to a priest,” “dialogue with a young person.” Nowhere does he mention the munus docendi in its full rigor: the obligation to condemn error, to defend the deposit of faith against Modernism, to denounce the sins crying to heaven (abortion, sodomy, usury, communism, freemasonry), to teach the Social Kingship of Christ over nations. Pius XI in Quas Primas declared: “If rulers and legitimate superiors will have the conviction that they exercise authority not so much by their own right as by the command and in the place of the Divine King, everyone will notice how religiously and wisely they will use their authority.” The false bishops are told to be “servants of communion” — a vague, conciliar term that replaces una fides, unum baptisma with a horizontal, sociological unity.
The “Heart of the Good Shepherd” Without the Sword of Truth
The antipope invokes the “heart of Jesus the Good Shepherd, a heart completely turned toward the Father and, precisely because of this, wholly given to his brothers and sisters.” This is a mutilated Christology. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep (Io 10:11), but He also drives out the wolves. He says: “Other sheep I have that are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd” (Io 10:16). The antipope’s “openness to everyone” — “Christians of other denominations, believers of other religions, people who profess no faith, and all men and women of goodwill” — is the condemned error of indifferentism (Syllabus, props. 15-18). It denies the necessity of the Catholic Church for salvation (extra Ecclesiam nulla salus) and the duty to convert all souls to the one true faith. The “goodwill” of the natural man, unaided by sanctifying grace, cannot please God. The Council of Trent anathematizes those who say the just man can persevere without the special help of God (Sess. VI, can. 22). This “openness” is the ecumenism condemned by Pius XI in Mortalium Animos (1928): the Church cannot participate in assemblies of non-Catholics except to call them to return to the one fold.
Magnifica Humanitas: A Modernist Encyclical for the Age of the Antichrist
The article mentions an encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas,” allegedly intended to offer “a vision and a method for addressing the great challenge of safeguarding what is human in the age of artificial intelligence.” This title — “Magnificent Humanity” — reveals the anthropocentric inversion of the conciliar religion. The true Church issues encyclicals on the Kingship of Christ (Quas Primas), the Social Reign of the Sacred Heart (Annum Sacrum), the condemnation of Modernism (Pascendi), the Christian constitution of states (Immortale Dei, Libertas). A document focused on “safeguarding what is human” in the face of AI is Pelagian naturalism: it assumes human nature can be preserved and perfected by human means, without reference to the supernatural order, grace, the Cross, and the final judgment. It echoes the condemned proposition of Lamentabili Sane Exitu (prop. 58): “Truth changes with man, because it develops with him, in him, and through him.” The “Jubilee of Hope” referenced is the 2025 Jubilee of the false church, a spectacle of worldly triumphalism devoid of the call to penance, conversion, and the remission of sins through the true sacraments.
Silence on the Social Kingship of Christ: The Gravest Omission
The most damning aspect of the address is its total silence on the rights of Christ the King over civil society. Pius XI in Quas Primas instituted the Feast of Christ the King precisely to combat “the secularism of our times, so-called laicism, its errors and wicked endeavors.” He taught: “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 speaks of “rapid change,” “communication technologies,” “artificial intelligence,” “crises,” but never names the causa causarum: the apostasy of nations, the dethronement of Christ, the reign of Satan in the public square. The Syllabus of Pius IX condemns the proposition: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (prop. 55). The conciliar sect, by its doctrine of religious liberty (Dignitatis Humanae), has canonized this separation. The false bishops are sent not to restore all things in Christ (Instaurare omnia in Christo), but to manage the decline of the West into paganism and the “inculturation” of the Gospel into false religions in the Global South.
The “Priests” of the New Rite: Objects of Sentimental Concern, Not Instruments of the True Sacrifice
The antipope urges the false bishops to “love your priests,” “listen to them,” “accompany them,” with special attention to the “elderly and ill.” He speaks of “the good they accomplish.” But what is this “good”? In the conciliar sect, “priests” preside at the Novus Ordo Missae, a rite fabricated by the freemason Bugnini (as proven by the Ottaviani Intervention), which denatures the propitiatory Sacrifice, suppresses the Offertory, multiplies Eucharistic Prayers invented ex nihilo, and centers the assembly on itself. These “priests” are mostly invalidly ordained (new rite of 1968, defective form and intention). The antipope’s “pastoral charity” toward them is complicity in sacrilege. True episcopal fatherhood would demand the restoration of the Traditional Latin Mass, the rejection of the new rite, the condemnation of the new Code of Canon Law (1983), and the defense of the priesthood against the infiltration of homosexuals and modernists — a crisis the conciliar hierarchy has deliberately engineered.
Ecclesial Communion as a Masonic Counterfeit
The article states the formation course aimed at “strengthening ecclesial communion.” In the theology of the false church, “communion” is a horizontal, sociological category, severed from unity of faith, sacraments, and governance under the true Roman Pontiff. It is the ecclesiology of communion (Ratzinger, Congar) which replaces the perfect society founded by Christ with a “People of God” on pilgrimage. The 147 “bishops” from Algeria, Bangladesh, Cameroon, etc., represent not the expansion of the Kingdom of Christ, but the globalist network of the paramasonic structure occupying the Vatican. Their “hopes and dreams” are not the spes christiana (theological hope of heaven), but the immanentist utopias of “development,” “dialogue,” “inculturation,” “synodality.” The Syllabus condemns: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (prop. 80). This is precisely the program of Leo XIV and his predecessors.
EWTN: The Propaganda Arm of the Neo-Church
The source, EWTN News (via ACI Prensa), is the media flagship of the conciliar establishment, founded by the late “Mother Angelica” (a Poor Clare of the new observance, fully integrated into the post-conciliar structures). It functions to normalize the false papacy, the false bishops, the false liturgy, and the false ecumenism among conservative Novus Ordo Catholics, preventing them from recognizing the sedevacantist truth. The article’s tone — reverent, uncritical, focused on “gestures,” “words,” “encounters” — is typical of the hagiographic journalism that sustains the abomination of desolation in the holy place.
Conclusion: The Abomination Continues
This audience is a theatrical confirmation of the Great Apostasy foretold in 2 Thess 2:3-4. The man of sin sits in the temple of God, showing himself as if he were God, surrounded by his false prophets (the “bishops”), speaking pacem, pacem where there is no peace (Jer 6:14). The integral Catholic faithful, adhering to the immutable Tradition, the true Mass, the true Sacraments, and the true bishops (consecrated in the traditional rite, holding the true faith), recognize this spectacle for what it is: a diabolical mockery of the Church of Christ. Non praevalebunt — but the gates of hell prevail only against those who abandon the Rock. The duty of the hour is not “dialogue” with the usurpers, but total separation, public profession of the true faith, and the implacable denunciation of the counterfeit. Christus vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat.
