Vatican News portal (11 September 2026) reports that the usurper Robert Prevost, styling himself “Pope Leo XIV,” dispatched a telegram to Riccardo Di Segni, Chief Rabbi of Rome, extending greetings for the Jewish autumn festivals of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. The message invokes “abundant blessings from the Almighty,” “peaceful renewal,” “inner light,” and “mutual friendship,” while renewing the “esteem” of the “entire Church” for the “dear Jewish community.” Not a single word summons the recipients to the unica salus of Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, nor does it acknowledge that the Old Covenant has been abrogated by the New and Eternal Testament. This grotesque spectacle of the Vicar of Christ’s counterfeit prostrating himself before the ministers of a religion that explicitly denies the Divinity of Our Lord constitutes the quintessence of the conciliar apostasy: the substitution of the regnum Christi for a Masonic fraternity of religions.
Theological Perversion: “Esteem” for the Rejection of the Messiah
The telegram’s central motif—”esteem” (stima) for the Jewish community—is a direct violation of the Syllabus Errorum of Pope Pius IX, which condemns the proposition that “Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation” (Error 16). By offering “esteem” to those who persist in the perfidia Judaica—the obstinate refusal to recognize the Christ whom they crucified—the antipope ratifies the Modernist heresy that all religions are more or less equal paths to God. Pope Pius XI, in Quas Primas, teaches with unshakeable authority: “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12), and that the reign of Christ “encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ.” To address the Chief Rabbi as a partner in “mutual friendship” while he publicly denies the Son of God is not charity; it is crimen laesae majestatis Divinae—high treason against the Kingship of Christ.
The text’s careful avoidance of the name “Jesus Christ” is damning. The antipope invokes “the Almighty” and “the Eternal One”—terms deliberately stripped of Trinitarian content to accommodate the unitarian deity of the Talmud. This is the hermeneutic of rupture in its purest form: the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the Most Holy Trinity, and He has revealed Himself definitively in the Incarnate Word. As St. John the Evangelist thunders: “Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father” (1 Jn 2:23). By praying *with* and *for* those who deny the Son, the usurper implicitly denies the Son himself. This is not dialogue; it is apostasy disguised as diplomacy.
Linguistic Engineering: The Vocabulary of the Anti-Church
The rhetorical architecture of the telegram is a masterclass in Modernist newspeak. Terms like “interreligious dialogue,” “mutual friendship,” “peaceful renewal,” and “fellowship” (fraternità) are the shibboleths of the Masonic “universal brotherhood” condemned by Leo XIII in Humanum Genus and by Pius XI in Quas Primas as the “secularism of our times, so-called laicism.” The word “esteem” replaces the Catholic duty of zeal for souls (zelo animarum). The phrase “our city of Rome” subtly erases the distinction between the Civitas Dei and the civitas terrena, implying a shared civic religion indifferent to truth.
Note the total absence of supernatural language: no mention of grace, conversion, baptism, the Holy Ghost, the Final Judgment, or the necessity of the Church for salvation (extra Ecclesiam nulla salus). The “blessings” invoked are purely temporal—”joy,” “gratitude,” “inner light,” “peace.” This is the immanentization of the eschaton, the reduction of the Gospel to a humanitarian ethic. As Pius XI warns: “When God and Jesus Christ were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” Here, the antipope removes Christ from the very address to those most in need of Him.
Canonical and Dogmatic Illegitimacy of the Act
From the perspective of integral Catholic theology, Robert Prevost holds no jurisdiction. The arguments compiled in the Defense of Sedevacantism demonstrate conclusively that a manifest heretic loses the papacy ipso facto (Canon 188.4, 1917 Code; Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice; Paul IV, Cum ex Apostolatus Officio). Prevost’s public adherence to the heresies of Vatican II—religious liberty, false ecumenism, collegiality, the new Mass—constitutes notorious defection from the Catholic faith. His “telegram” is therefore the act of a private individual, a layman usurping the Chair of Peter, devoid of any canonical weight. It is null, void, and of no effect (nulla, irrita, et inanis).
Moreover, the act violates Cum ex Apostolatus Officio which declares that any promotion of a heretic “even if it shall have been uncontested and by the unanimous assent of all the Cardinals, shall be null, void, and of no effect.” The “College of Cardinals” that “elected” him is itself a body permeated by the same Modernist contagion. The entire structure occupying the Vatican is, in the words of St. Pius X, the “synagogue of Satan” (Apoc. 2:9)—a paramasonic counterfeit erected to displace the true Church.
Symptomatic Diagnosis: The Fruit of the Conciliar Revolution
This telegram is not an anomaly; it is the logical and necessary fruit of Nostra Aetate and the false ecumenism of Vatican II. The conciliar decree Unitatis Redintegratio and the post-conciliar “Directory for Ecumenism” mandate precisely this kind of “dialogue” which presupposes that the Catholic Church is merely one “church or ecclesial community” among others. The antipope’s predecessor, the heretic Bergoglio, elevated this to a program with his Abu Dhabi declaration (2019) that “the pluralism and diversity of religions… are willed by God.” Prevost merely continues the execution of the Masonic blueprint outlined in the False Fatima Apparitions analysis: “The imprecise formulation ‘conversion of Russia’ (without specifying Catholicism) opens the way to religious relativism. It can serve to legitimize dialogue with schismatic Orthodoxy.” Here, the target is the Synagogue, but the mechanism is identical: dialogue replaces mission; esteem replaces conversion; naturalistic fellowship replaces supernatural charity.
The silence on the Third Secret of Fatima—which the same analysis identifies as concealed by modernists to advance the ecumenical agenda—finds its parallel here: the silence on the necessity of the Jews’ conversion for the fulfillment of Romans 11. St. Paul teaches that “blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles should come in. And so all Israel should be saved” (Rom 11:25-26)—by entering the Catholic Church. The antipope’s telegram seeks to make the Jews comfortable in their blindness, thereby delaying the plenitudo Gentium and the final conversion of Israel. This is a work of the Antichrist’s precursor.
The True Duty of the Roman Pontiff Toward the Jews
The true Pope, were one reigning, would act as Pius V, who expelled the Talmud; as Pius IX, who in the Syllabus condemned the liberty of false cults (Error 77-79); as St. Pius X, who in Lamentabili Sane Exitu condemned the Modernist denial of the Messiahship of Jesus (Props. 27-30); and as Pius XI, who in Quas Primas commanded that “rulers of states… not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ.” The Chief Rabbi of Rome should receive not a telegram of “esteem,” but a solemn apostolic notification: “Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus. Convertimini ad Dominum Jesum Christum, qui solus est Via, Veritas, et Vita” (Jn 14:6).
The “Great Synagogue of Rome” mentioned in the article’s caption stands as a monument to the abomination of desolation in the Holy City. The antipope’s telegram is a spiritual embrace of that abomination. Faithful Catholics, adhering to the sede vacante reality, must reject this spectacle entirely. We pray the Oremus pro perfidis Judaeis of the traditional Good Friday liturgy—not in the falsified 1962 version, but in the unadulterated Roman Rite—beseeching God to “remove the veil from their hearts” (velamen de cordibus eorum auferat). That is the only true “esteem”: the charity of truth that wills the eternal salvation of the neighbor through the unica porta of the Catholic Church.
No “blessings from the Almighty” can descend upon those who blaspheme His Only-Begotten Son daily in the Talmud and the synagogue liturgy. The antipope’s telegram is a curse disguised as a benediction, a betrayal of the Martyrs of Rome who died rather than burn incense to false gods, and a confirmation that the structures occupying the Vatican are the “abomination of desolation standing in the holy place” (Mt 24:15).
