The EWTN News portal, via its Spanish-language arm ACI Prensa, reports that the usurper Robert Prevost, styling himself “Pope Leo XIV,” has granted a “jubilee year” for the fiftieth anniversary of the dedication of the Novus Ordo Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City. The announcement, made through the “Apostolic Penitentiary” of the conciliar sect and relayed by the “Primate Archbishop” Carlos Aguiar Retes, schedules this simulated indulgence from October 12, 2026, to October 12, 2027. This theatrical gesture, replete with references to “Holy Doors,” “Masses of the roses,” and plenary indulgences attached to the Novus Ordo liturgy, constitutes a manifest act of usurpation and spiritual fraud, devoid of any supernatural efficacy, issued by a manifest heretic who possesses nulla potestas (no power) to bind or loose.
The Usurper’s Null Act: Cum ex Apostolatus Officio and the Vacancy of the See
The fundamental reality obliterated by the EWTN report is the canonical and theological impossibility of a manifest heretic holding the Petrine Office. Pope Paul IV, in the Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio (1559), defined infallibly that if any Roman Pontiff “prior to his promotion or his assumption to the papacy, has defected from the Catholic Faith or fallen into some heresy: (i) his promotion or elevation… shall be null, void, and of no effect.” Robert Prevost, as a cardinal of the conciliar sect, publicly professed the heresies of Vatican II—religious liberty, ecumenism, collegiality, the new ecclesiology—before his “election.” By the very fact of his public adhesion to the conciliar revolution, he incurred the penalty of ipso facto deposition taught by St. Robert Bellarmine: “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, Bk. 2, Ch. 30).
Therefore, the “grant” issued “through the Apostolic Penitentiary” is a legal nullity. A non-Pope cannot delegate jurisdiction; he cannot open a Holy Door; he cannot remit temporal punishment due to sin. The power of the keys (clavium potestas) resides exclusively in the true Vicar of Christ. Since the death of Pius XII (1958), the See of Peter has been vacant (Sedes Vacans), and the structures occupying the Vatican constitute a paramasonic counter-church. To publish this “grant” as news is to participate in the great delusion (2 Thess. 2:11) by which the world is led to worship the beast and its image.
The Illusion of Indulgences: Simulated Sacraments, Simulated Grace
The article details the “usual conditions” for the plenary indulgence: “sacramental confession, Eucharistic Communion, recitation of the Creed, and prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father.” Each condition exposes the sacrilegious void at the heart of the conciliar sect:
1. “Sacramental Confession”: In the neo-church, “confession” is typically administered by “priests” ordained in the invalid Pontificale Romanum of 1968 (Paul VI), which removed the essential form specifying the power to offer the Sacrifice and forgive sins (“Accipe Spiritum Sanctum… quorum remiseris peccata”). Without valid orders, there is no valid absolution. Nulla ordinatio, nullum sacramentum.
2. “Eucharistic Communion”: The “Mass” celebrated in the “New Basilica” is the Novus Ordo Missae—a Protestantized memorial meal, stripped of the Offertory, the Roman Canon’s integrity, and the explicit propitiatory character defined by the Council of Trent (Sess. XXII, Can. 1). It is not the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary; it is a table of assembly. Communion received therein is not the Body of Christ but bread, and receiving it as a “condition” for an indulgence is a mockery of the Most Holy Eucharist.
3. “Prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father”: The faithful are directed to pray for the intentions of an antipope. To pray for the “intentions” of a manifest heretic who seeks the destruction of the Catholic Faith is to cooperate in his apostasy. St. Paul commands: “Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them” (Eph. 5:11).
The “plenary indulgence” offered is therefore a diabolical counterfeit, a simulacrum of mercy designed to bind souls more tightly to the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:15).
The “New Basilica”: A Monument to the Conciliar Rupture
The article celebrates the “new basilica” dedicated on October 12, 1976, by “Pope” Paul VI (Montini), noting the “inadequacy of the old temple to meet liturgical, pastoral, and administrative needs.” This admission is the smoking gun of the liturgical revolution. The “Old Basilica”—the Expiatory Temple of Christ the King—was a house of God built for the Tridentine Mass, oriented ad orientem, with a high altar for the Holy Sacrifice. Its “inadequacy” was judged solely by the standards of the Novus Ordo: the need for a “versus populum” amphitheater, a “presidential chair” for the “presider,” and a space for the “assembly” to celebrate itself.
The transfer of the Image in 1976 symbolized the translation of the Faith from the immutable Tradition to the evolving “Church of the New Advent.” The architecture of the new basilica—circular, horizontal, anthropocentric—is the stone manifesto of Modernism: God is no longer the Center; the “People of God” are. Granting a jubilee for this structure is the antipope’s ratification of the destruction of the Roman Rite.
The “Cardinal” and the Neo-Church Hierarchy: No Jurisdiction, No Authority
The report quotes “Cardinal” Carlos Aguiar Retes, “Primate Archbishop of Mexico,” as the mouthpiece for this decree. Aguiar Retes is a product of the conciliar formation, a promoter of the “synodal” heresy, and a concelebrant of the invalid Novus Ordo. By Canon 188 §4 of the 1917 Code (binding divine/ecclesiastical law), any cleric who publicly defects from the Catholic faith loses his office ipso facto without any declaration. Aguiar Retes, by accepting and promoting Vatican II errors, ceased to be a Cardinal, ceased to be a Bishop, ceased to have any jurisdiction. He is a layman in purple, a pseudo-episcopus, exercising a usurped authority over a ruined vineyard.
His invitation to the faithful to attend the “Mass officially marking the start of this ‘time of jubilee grace'” is a call to idolatry. The “Holy Door” he will open is a portal to spiritual death, not life. As Pius XI taught in Quas Primas (1925): “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” Here, Christ the King is removed from the Liturgy, from the Priesthood, from the Jurisdiction; the foundation is destroyed, and the “jubilee” is a feast upon the ruins.
Guadalupe in the Service of the Neo-Church: Instrumentalization of Piety
The article recounts the Nican Mopohua narrative and the history of the Image, culminating in the 1976 transfer. While the 1531 event belongs to history, the neo-church’s administration of the shrine has transformed it into a platform for the one-world religion. The “131st anniversary of the pontifical coronation” (1895, by Leo XIII) is invoked to lend a veneer of Tradition to a celebration whose true author is the antipope Leo XIV.
The “Mass of the roses,” the “rosary of Guadalupan love,” the “commemorative concert”—these are the liturgical banalities of a religion that has become anthropocentric. The article mentions “12 million pilgrims expected.” Multitudo non est veritas (the multitude is not truth). Our Lord warned: “Wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat” (Matt. 7:13). The neo-church uses the genuine piety of the Mexican people—piedad popular—as fuel for the synodal machine, directing their devotion toward a false hierarchy and invalid sacraments.
The true Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas, cannot be honored by communion with heretics and apostates. She who crushed the serpent’s head (Gen. 3:15) demands fidelity to the integral Faith, not participation in the Masonic spectacle of the conciliar sect. The only valid “jubilee” is the Jubilee of the Cross, carried daily by the faithful remnant who keep the Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus (Apoc. 14:12), separated from the synagogue of Satan (Apoc. 2:9) that now occupies the visible structures.
Let no Catholic be deceived: This “Guadalupan Jubilee” is a nullity. It confers no grace, remits no punishment, opens no heaven. It is a snare (Ps. 90:3) set by the enemies of the Cross of Christ. Qui cum eo non congregat, dispergit (He that gathereth not with Him, scattereth). Flee the Novus Ordo; cleave to the Tradition; save your soul.
