Leo XIV Constitution Entrenches Lay Rule Over Vatican City: Final Step in Conciliar Apostasy
The NCR/CNA portal reports that the usurper Robert Prevost, styling himself “Pope” Leo XIV, has promulgated a new Fundamental Law for Vatican City State on July 31, 2026, formally codifying the eligibility of non-cardinals — and by extension, laymen and women — to hold the presidency of the Pontifical Commission and Governorate. This fourth “constitution” since 1929 replaces the 2023 legislation of the antipope Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope” Francis) and retroactively legalizes the 2025 appointment of Sister Raffaella Petrini as the first female president, a move previously acknowledged as legally irregular. The report frames this as a bureaucratic update responding to “government and regulatory changes,” yet the theological gravity of a laywoman exercising sovereign authority over the temporal patrimony of the Holy See cannot be overstated. This legislation is not administrative housekeeping; it is the definitive juridical manifestation of the conciliar sect’s apostasy, severing the last formal link between the Petrine primacy and the temporal sovereignty necessary for the Church’s freedom (libertas Ecclesiae).
