The Vatican News portal (September 28, 2026) publishes an editorial by Andrea Tornielli extolling the recent pilgrimage of the usurper “Pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) to Lourdes and Metz. The piece reports his invitation to pray the Rosary for peace throughout October, his condemnation of European rearmament (“ReArm Europe,” NATO 5% GDP targets) as a “new useless slaughter” echoing Benedict XV, and his demand for “courage in negotiation” and willingness to “sacrifice certain positions for the greater good.” Quoting Robert Schuman and “St. John Paul II,” the antipope frames peace as a product of “creative efforts” and international law, explicitly rejecting the “illusion that rearmament is the answer.” This spectacle of a false pontiff wielding the Rosary as a prop for Masonic pacifism and the godless European project exposes the total substitution of the Social Reign of Christ the King by a humanitarian parody of the Gospel.
The Usurper’s Voice: A Stranger in the Shepherd’s Fold
The article presents the words of Robert Prevost as those of the “Successor of Peter” and “Bishop of Rome.” From the perspective of integral Catholic faith, this is the primary imposture. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches, “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” (De Romano Pontifice). The line of usurpers beginning with John XXIII has consistently propagated the errors of Modernism condemned by St. Pius X in Lamentabili sane exitu and Pascendi Dominici gregis: the evolution of dogma, religious liberty, false ecumenism, and the cult of man. Prevost’s address in Metz—citing the Masonic architect of the European Coal and Steel Community, Robert Schuman, as a spiritual authority—confirms his manifest adherence to the “synthesis of all heresies” (St. Pius X, Pascendi). He occupies the See of Peter ipso facto vacant by the automatic loss of office through heresy (Canon 188.4, 1917 Code; Cum ex Apostolatus Officio, Pope Paul IV). To call him “Pope” is to participate in the great delusion (2 Thess 2:11).
The Rosary Profaned: From Spiritual Weapon to Pacifist Talisman
The call to “pray the Rosary for peace” at Lourdes is a calculated profanation. The context file on False Fatima Apparitions demonstrates conclusively that the Fatima narrative—inextricably linked to the modern Rosary crusade—is a “Masonic psychological operation” involving ritualistic dates (1717, 1917, 2017), the “Miracle of the Sun” as mass optical manipulation, and a strategy to divert attention from the “modernist apostasy within the Church” while promoting a vague “conversion of Russia” conducive to religious relativism. The “seer” Lucia was isolated from 1921, her testimony controlled. The Rosary, the psalter of the Blessed Virgin, is a weapon against heresy and for the conversion of sinners to the one, true Catholic Faith, not a talisman for securing a Masonic “world peace” which presupposes the equality of all religions (Syllabus, Error 18: “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion”). When the antipope asks for the Rosary to stop a “useless slaughter” defined purely in geopolitical terms, he strips the prayer of its supernatural finality—the glory of God and the salvation of souls—and reduces it to a technique for temporal tranquility. This is idolatry of the temporal order.
“Creative Efforts” for a Godless Europe: The Schuman Deception
The antipope’s reliance on Robert Schuman—“world peace cannot be safeguarded without creative efforts proportionate to the dangers that threaten it”—is the smoking gun of the conciliar sect’s allegiance to the Civitas Diaboli. Schuman was a principal architect of the European project, a construct explicitly condemned by the Syllabus of Errors (Error 55: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church”; Error 39: “The State… is endowed with a certain right not circumscribed by any limits”). The “Europe of peace and unity” lauded in Metz is the Masonic counterfeit of the Christendom, built on laicism (Error 77: “In the present day it is no longer expedient that the Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of the State”). Pius XI in Quas Primas declares: “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, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation.” The antipope’s “creative efforts” are the frantic labors of those building the Tower of Babel, “whose kingdom shall have no end” (Dan 7:14) being replaced by the kingdom of man which ends in dust. To quote Schuman in a putatively Catholic address is to canonize the separation of Church and State.
The Heresy of Absolute Pacifism: Denying Just War and the Rights of Christ the King
The editorial’s core argument—that rearmament is an “illusion” and negotiation requires “sacrificing positions”—constitutes a rejection of the Catholic doctrine on just war and the duty of legitimate defense. The antipope claims: “let us not call ‘defence’ a rearmament that increases tensions and insecurity… and enriches elites who care nothing for the common good.” This is the language of the pacifist heresy, condemned implicitly by the Church’s constant teaching on the ius belli justi (St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae II-II, q. 40). While the Church condemns unjust aggression, she teaches that legitimate authority has the grave obligation to defend the common good, including by force of arms, against unjust aggressors. To label preparation for defense as an “illusion” and “enrichment of merchants of death” is to deny the right of the State to the sword (Rom 13:4: “He beareth not the sword in vain”).
Furthermore, Pius XI teaches in Quas Primas: “His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ.” Peace is tranquillitas ordinis (St. Augustine, De Civitate Dei XIX.13)—the tranquility of order, not the mere absence of conflict. Order requires justice; justice requires the recognition of Christ’s Kings
