Vatican News portal reports that the usurper Robert Prevost, styling himself “Pope Leo XIV,” delivered an Angelus address on 4 October 2026, the eighth centenary of the death of Saint Francis of Assisi. The address centered on the Gospel parable of the vineyard, presenting the conciliar sect’s false “mercy” as superior to divine justice, and holding up the Seraphic Father as a model for building a naturalistic “peace” and “harmony among peoples” through “fraternal love” divorced from the Social Kingship of Christ. The antipope invoked the “Franciscan Jubilee Year” and entrusted this Masonic enterprise to the Blessed Virgin, uniting himself spiritually with the shrine of Pompeii. This spectacle constitutes a brazen usurpation of the Saint of Assisi to legitimize the apostasy of the conciliar revolution.
The Vineyard Usurped: The Conciliar Sect Is Not the Church of Christ
The address opens with a perversion of the parable of the vineyard (Matthew 21:33-43). The antipope identifies the vineyard with “the Church, which our choices can either build up or damage.” This is a categorical lie. The vineyard of the Lord is the Una, Sancta, Catholica et Apostolica Ecclesia, founded on Peter and the Apostles, subsisting in the bishops and faithful who preserve the integral Faith and valid Sacraments. The structures occupying the Vatican since 1958 are not this vineyard; they are the “abomination of desolation” (Matthew 24:15) spoken of by Daniel the prophet, a paramasonic structure erected by the enemies of Christ to mimic the Church while destroying her from within. As Pope Pius IX condemned in the Syllabus of Errors (Error 19): “The Church is not a true and perfect society… but it appertains to the civil power to define what are the rights of the Church.” Today, the civil power is the Masonic lodge; the conciliar sect is its ecclesiastical facade. The “choices” of the usurpers—ecumenism, religious liberty, collegiality, the New Mass—have not “damaged” the Church; they have erected a counterfeit church, the “Church of the New Advent,” which has no mission from Christ and no promise of indefectibility.
False Mercy Versus the Justice of Christ the King
The antipope proclaims: “Violence does not have the final word. In His infinite justice, God transforms evil into redemption.” This is the heresy of cheap grace, a Modernist distortion condemned by Saint Pius X in Lamentabili sane exitu (Proposition 65: “Contemporary Catholicism cannot be reconciled with true knowledge without transforming it into a certain dogmaless Christianity”). True mercy is inseparable from justice and truth. “Mercy without truth is not mercy but complicity in sin.” The antipope’s “mercy” is the mercy of the world: a sentimental indulgence of error and vice. Pope Pius XI, in Quas Primas, teaches authoritatively: “Peace is only possible in the kingdom of Christ.” He writes: “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 entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation.” The “peace” Prevost preaches is the pax Masonica, the tranquility of order without the Orderer, the harmony of the Tower of Babel. It is the “peace” of Error 77 of the Syllabus: “In the present day it is no longer expedient that the Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of the State.”
Saint Francis Weaponized for the Religion of Man
The most diabolical aspect of the address is the instrumentalization of Saint Francis. The Seraphic Father, who bore the stigmata of the Crucified, who founded his Order on altissima paupertas and absolute obedience to the Roman Pontiff, who preached penance and the conversion of the Saracens, is reduced to a “labourer who worked fruitfully in the Lord’s vineyard” building “fraternal love” and “harmony among peoples.” This is the Franciscanism of the Masonic lodges, the “spirituality” of the Assisi meetings initiated by the apostate Wojtyła. The antipope says Francis “repaired the Church by virtue of his faith in the Lord Jesus, healing the rifts of discord through the witness of fraternal love.” This is a lie. Francis repaired the Church by orthodoxy, by poverty, by missionary zeal for souls, not by the vague humanitarianism of “fraternal love.” The true Francis would have anathematized the “Franciscan Jubilee Year” as a profanation of the sacred number. He would have rejected the “Supplication to the Virgin of the Holy Rosary” at Pompeii when offered in communion with a false pope and a false religion. The antipope’s Francis is an idol, a simulacrum fashioned by the enemies of the Cross to bless the cult of man condemned by Pius XI in Quas Primas: “The state is happy not by one means, and man by another; for the state is nothing else than a harmonious association of men.” True harmony comes only from submission to the Kingship of Christ.
The “Franciscan Jubilee Year”: A Modernist Invention
The convocation of a “Franciscan Jubilee Year” is an act of usurped authority. Jubilees belong to the Vicar of Christ, not to an antipope. This “Year” is a liturgical novelty, part of the hermeneutic of rupture disguised as continuity. It serves the conciliar sect’s agenda: to canonize the revolution, to sanctify the “spirit of Assisi,” to replace the Social Reign of Christ the King with the “universal fraternity” of the encyclical Fratelli Tutti (a document of the antipope Bergoglio, steeped in Masonic universalism). The faithful are invited to “perseveringly ask for the gift of peace and sincerely commit ourselves to building harmony among peoples.” This is Pelagianism applied to politics. Peace is a gift of Christ the King (Pax Christi in regno Christi), not a human construction. As the Syllabus condemns (Error 55): “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church.” The antipope’s “harmony among peoples” is precisely the fruit of this separation: a Christless world order.
The Angelus at Pompeii: Idolatry in the Temple
The address concludes with the antipope praying the Angelus “in spiritual union with the faithful gathered at the Shrine of Pompeii for the Supplication to the Virgin of the Holy Rosary.” This is a mockery of the Rosary. The Rosary is a weapon against heresy, given by Our Lady to Saint Dominic to combat the Albigensians. To pray it in union with the “pope” of the abomination of desolation, in a shrine controlled by the conciliar hierarchy, is to profane the beads. It is the lex orandi of the lex credendi of Modernism. The true faithful, the remanentes who keep the Faith of the Fathers, pray the Rosary for the conversion of the usurpers and the restoration of the Holy See, not in “spiritual union” with their apostasy. The Shrine of Pompeii, like every structure under the control of the “bishops” of the neo-church, is a den of thieves (Matthew 21:13) where the true Sacrifice is absent and the true Faith is suppressed.
Sedevacantism: The Only Coherent Catholic Position
The very existence of “Pope Leo XIV” proves the sedevacantist thesis. A manifest heretic cannot be Pope. As Saint Robert Bellarmine teaches (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 “popes” since John XXIII have publicly professed the heresies of Modernism: religious liberty, ecumenism, collegiality, the new ecclesiology, the new Mass. They have ipso facto lost the papacy by Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code (“Publicly defects from the Catholic faith”). Pope Paul IV’s Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio declares the elevation of a heretic “null, void, and of no effect.” The “Defense of Sedevacantism” file provided demonstrates this with irrefutable theological and canonical precision. The Nestorian precedent (Pope Celestine I) confirms: a heretic loses jurisdiction before any declaratory sentence. The conciliar sect has no authority, no mission, no Sacraments (the New Rite of Ordination is invalid, the New Mass is a Protestantized memorial). The Angelus address is not the voice of the Good Shepherd; it is the voice of the hireling (John 10:12-13), the wolf in sheep’s clothing, the Antichrist’s precursor preparing the world for the Man of Sin.
Conclusion: Return to the Integral Faith
The article from Vatican News is not news; it is propaganda for the kingdom of Antichrist. It offers a “peace” that is war against God, a “fraternity” that excludes the Fatherhood of God, a “Francis” who is a stranger to the Saint of Assisi. The only remedy is the integral Catholic Faith: Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus; the Social Kingship of Christ the King (Quas Primas); the rejection of all Modernist errors (Pascendi, Lamentabili, Syllabus); adherence to the valid bishops and priests who preserve the Traditional Latin Mass and the pre-1958 Magisterium. The true vineyard is not in the Vatican gardens; it is in the catacombs where the remanentes celebrate the Most Holy Sacrifice and await the restoration of the See of Peter. Viva Cristo Rey!
