The EWTN News portal reports that the usurper Robert Prevost, styling himself “Pope Leo XIV,” celebrated a Novus Ordo assembly in the open air at a military aviation school in Córdoba, Argentina, before an alleged 650,000 attendees. The antipope designated the city a “home of saints,” citing the post-conciliar “canonizations” of José Gabriel del Rosario Brochero and María Antonia de Paz y Figueroa (“Mama Antula”), alongside the “beatifications” of María del Tránsito Cabanillas and Catalina de María Rodríguez. He framed their diverse “charisms” as a “polyphonic witness” to a “universal call to holiness” rooted in “Argentinian identity” and the construction of a “fraternal and compassionate homeland.” The address reduced the supernatural mandate of the Church to a naturalistic program of social fraternity, entirely silent on the necessity of the True Mass, the state of grace, and the Social Kingship of Christ the King.
Usurpation of the Papacy and the Nullity of Post-Conciliar “Canonizations”
The very premise of the report rests upon a manifest falsehood: that Robert Prevost possesses the authority of the Vicar of Christ. As demonstrated by the perennial teaching of the Church, a manifest heretic ceases to be Pope ipso facto, without need of any declaration. 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 began with Angelo Roncalli (John XXIII) and continues through Prevost. Consequently, every act of governance, teaching, and “canonization” performed by these antipopes is null, void, and of no effect (irritus, cassus, et nullius).
Pope Paul IV’s Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio definitively establishes that if any Cardinal or Roman Pontiff “has defected from the Catholic Faith or fallen into some heresy… his promotion or elevation… shall be null, void, and of no effect.” The conciliar sect’s “canonizations” — including those of Brochero (2016), “Mama Antula” (2024), and the “blesseds” Cabanillas and Rodríguez — are not exercises of the infallible Magisterium but acts of a paramasonic structure usurping the Vatican. They possess zero theological weight. To present them as models of holiness is to propose a counterfeit sanctity, manufactured by a false church to legitimize its apostate agenda.
The “Universal Call to Holiness” as a Modernist Substitute for the Supernatural Life
The antipope’s central theme — the “universal call to holiness” detached from the extraordinary means of grace — is a hallmark of the conciliar revolution. The Second Vatican Council’s Lumen Gentium (Chapter V) weaponized this truth to flatten the distinction between the clerical state and the laity, between the religious life and secular pursuits, effectively Protestantizing the Catholic notion of perfection. Prevost’s enumeration of “paths” — priestly life, martyrdom, founding congregations, care of the sick, education, lay life — presented as equally valid “charisms,” obliterates the hierarchy of vocations established by Christ. Our Lord declared: “If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me” (Mt 19:21). The religious state, founded on the evangelical counsels, is objectively superior to the married state; martyrdom is the supreme witness of charity. To present them as a mere “polyphonic” diversity of equal value is theological indifferentism, condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors (Prop. 18: “Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation”).
Reduction of the Church’s Mission to Naturalistic Humanism: “Fraternal and Compassionate Homeland”
The most damning phrase in the report is the antipope’s description of the Argentine “saints” as committed to “building a fraternal and compassionate homeland”. This is the language of Freemasonry and secular humanism, not the Catholic Church. The mission of the Church is salus animarum — the salvation of souls for eternal life — not the construction of a temporal “homeland” of social justice. Pius XI, in Quas Primas, thundered against this very error: “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’s “evangelization” is stripped of its supernatural end — the conversion of nations to the Social Kingship of Christ the King — and reduced to a vague humanitarianism. 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), yet the conciliar sect actively collaborates in building the Masonic “fraternal” city of man, ignoring the Civitas Dei.
The Novus Ordo Assembly: A Protestantized “Table of Assembly” Masquerading as Worship
The event described — an open-air “Mass” at a military aviation school — is not the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary but a fabricated liturgy promulgated by the arch-modernist Paul VI (Montini) in 1969. The Traditional Latin Mass, the Missale Romanum of St. Pius V, codified by the Council of Trent (Quo Primum), is the only rite that perfectly expresses the propitiatory, sacrificial nature of the Eucharist. The Novus Ordo, with its versus populum orientation, vernacular fabrication, and suppression of the Roman Canon’s explicit sacrificial language, is a protestantized memorial service. Cardinal Ottaviani and Cardinal Bacci, in their Critical Study (1969), demonstrated that it represents a “striking departure from the Catholic theology of the Mass.” To celebrate this rite publicly before hundreds of thousands is not worship but public idolatry and scandal, confirming the faithful in a false religion. The setting — a military school — further profanes the sacred by merging it with the temporal sword, a confusion of the duo sunt (Gelasius I) that the Syllabus condemns (Prop. 39: “The State… is endowed with a certain right not circumscribed by any limits”).
Argentinian “Identity” and the Denial of the Catholic Nation
The repeated emphasis on “Argentinian identity” and “Argentinian saints” reveals the conciliar sect’s adoption of the heresy of nationalism and inculturation as a substitute for the universality of the Church. The true Church knows no “Argentinian identity” in the order of grace; she knows only the una, sancta, catholica, et apostolica identity of the Mystical Body. Pius XI taught in Quas Primas: “His reign encompasses not only Catholic nations… but His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ”. By exalting a national “polyphony,” the antipope fragments the unity of the Faith, implying that holiness is culturally relative. This is the practical application of the Modernist heresy condemned by St. Pius X in Lamentabili Sane Exitu (Prop. 59: “Christ did not proclaim any specific, all-encompassing doctrine suitable for all times and peoples, but rather initiated a certain religious movement, applied or applicable to different times and places”).
Silence on the Necessity of the True Faith, the True Mass, and the True Church
The gravest accusation against this spectacle is its total silence on the supernatural prerequisites of salvation. Not a word is spoken of:
- The necessity of the True Mass (Tridentine) for the propitiation of sins.
- The necessity of baptism of water and the state of sanctifying grace.
- The necessity of submission to the Roman Pontiff (the true one, not the usurper) for salvation (Unam Sanctam).
- The Social Kingship of Christ over civil legislation.
- The reality of Hell, Judgment, and the Last Things.
Instead, the listeners are urged to “open your hearts… go forth and be holy: at school and in the town square… on the farm and in the office.” This is Pelagianism — the heresy that man can achieve holiness by his own efforts, devoid of the supernatural life of grace conferred exclusively through the valid sacraments of the true Church. The “crucifix and holy rosary” are mentioned as mere devotional accessories (“armed with nothing but”), stripped of their connection to the Sacrifice of the Mass and the mediation of the true Priesthood.
The “Saints” of the Conciliar Sect: Fabricated Models for a False Church
A brief examination of the named figures confirms the fraud:
- José Gabriel Brochero: “Canonized” by Bergoglio (2016). A priest of the post-conciliar church, formed in the spirit of Vatican II. His “canonization” serves to legitimize the Argentine episcopate’s Modernism.
- María Antonia de Paz y Figueroa (“Mama Antula”): “Canonized” by Bergoglio (2024). Promoted as a laywoman exercising “spiritual exercises” in the Jesuit tradition — the very order that has been the vanguard of Modernism since the 20th century.
- María del Tránsito Cabanillas & Catalina de María Rodríguez: “Beatified” post-Vatican II. Foundresses of congregations established in the spirit of the “new evangelization,” i.e., social work detached from the contemplative primacy of the traditional religious life.
None of these “canonizations” meet the rigorous pre-1958 standards of the Processus Ordinarius (heroic virtue verified by two miracles post-mortem under strict canonical scrutiny). They are political acts by antipopes to create a gallery of “saints” reflecting the conciliar ideology: activism, inculturation, lay empowerment, and social justice.
Symptomatic Level: The Abomination of Desolation in the Holy Place
This event in Córdoba is a perfect microcosm of the abominatio desolationis (Mt 24:15) standing where it ought not. A usurper antipope, surrounded by invalidly ordained “bishops” and “priests” (the new rites of ordination since 1968 are deficient in form and intention), simulates the Sacred Liturgy before a multitude deceived into believing they assist at the Holy Sacrifice. The military setting symbolizes the conciliar sect’s capitulation to the secular power (Prop. 20, Syllabus: “The ecclesiastical power ought not to exercise its authority without the permission and assent of the civil government” — condemned as error, yet practiced as policy). The 650,000 souls are fed stones for bread (Mt 7:9), confirmed in a false religion that cannot save.
The only remedy is the total rejection of the conciliar sect, its antipopes, its false “saints,” its invalid sacraments, and its Modernist theology. The faithful must adhere to the integral Catholic Tradition preserved by bishops and priests maintaining the unbroken succession of the True Mass, the True Faith, and the True Magisterium — quod semper, quod ubique, quod ab omnibus. Non praevalebunt (Mt 16:18).
