The Pillar Catholic portal (September 14, 2026) reports that the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) appointed Msgr. Mario León Dorado, OMI, as coadjutor “archbishop” of Rabat, following credible allegations of sexual misconduct — including the canonical crime of solicitation in the confessional — against the “cardinal” Cristóbal López Romero, SDB. The article details the timeline of the “investigation,” the “apostolic visitation,” and the statements of the accused and his cousin, a “priest” of the neo-church. This sordid affair lays bare the total collapse of jurisdiction, sacramentality, and morality in the conciliar sect, proving that its “episcopate” is a hollow sham and its “canonical processes” a theatrical cover for institutionalized corruption.
The Usurper’s Appointment: Nullity Compounded by Nullity
The very premise of the report — that “Pope Leo XIV appointed Msgr. Mario León Dorado” — rests on a foundation of sand. Robert Prevost, styling himself “Leo XIV,” is a manifest heretic and apostate who, by the very fact of his public adhesion to the conciliar errors (religious liberty, false ecumenism, collegiality, the new mass), has ipso facto severed himself from the Catholic Church and cannot hold the papal office. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope… he cannot be the head of something of which he is not a member” (De Romano Pontifice, II, 30). Consequently, any “appointment” issuing from him is null, void, and of no effect (Cum ex Apostolatus Officio, Pope Paul IV). The “coadjutor” receives no jurisdiction, no sacramental character (if “ordained” in the invalid Paul VI rite), and no authority. He is merely a functionary installed by a layman usurping the See of Peter.
The “Cardinal” and the Crime of Solicitation: Sacrilege Masquerading as Pastoral Care
The allegations against López Romero are monstrous: five women accuse him of inappropriate behavior, three specifically during the “sacrament of penance”. The article correctly identifies the canonical term: solicitation — “Using the sacrament of penance to incite a penitent into sins against the sixth commandment”. This is not merely a “crime”; it is a sacrilege of the most diabolical order, profaning the tribunal of mercy into a hunting ground for lust.
Yet the article treats this as a matter for the “Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith” — a modernist bureau staffed by heretics. The true Church, guided by the Corpus Iuris Canonici and the immutable tradition, knows that a cleric guilty of solicitation ipso facto incurs suspension and irregularity (Canon 2368 §1, 1917 Code). But in the conciliar sect, the “Dicastery” is reportedly “unaware of any investigation” — a bureaucratic black hole designed to bury scandal. The “apostolic visitation” by Msgr. Hyacinthe Dione and Fr. Augustin Chako-Yodi is a whitewash operation, investigating “economic, pastoral, and liturgical matters” alongside the crime, diluting the gravity of the offense into managerial jargon.
The “Synodal” Heretic and the Relativization of Canon Law
López Romero is exposed as a quintessential conciliar revolutionary. He championed the “synod on synodality”, declaring that Catholics disagreeing with its decisions are “morally obligated” to support it — a totalitarian demand for assent to heresy. He defended the blasphemous Fiducia supplicans (blessing of same-sex unions) with the sophistical essay “Is homophobia the issue?”. Most tellingly, he declared “respecting the norms of canon law” was a “peripheral” issue, “always in the service of the mission”.
This is the antinomian spirit of Modernism condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis: “The Church listening cooperates… the Church teaching should only approve the common opinions of the Church listening” (Lamentabili, prop. 6). Law is not the servant of a false “mission”; it is the guardian of divine order. Lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi — the law of prayer is the law of belief is the law of living. By discarding canon law, the conciliar sect discards the faith.
False Ecumenism and the Betrayal of the Kingship of Christ
León Dorado’s 2022 article, quoted extensively, reveals the practical atheism of the neo-church’s “missiology.” He speaks of “friendship with Muslims” and “interreligious dialogue” while admitting: “The imams I know see no need for dialogue because they have received divine revelation… what are we going to discuss?” He laments the lack of “reciprocity in religious freedom” but asks: “Should I renounce my evangelical principles and values simply because this reciprocity does not exist?”
The answer, from the integral Catholic faith, is a thunderous NO — but not for the reason he implies. One does not “dialogue” with false religions as equals; one converts them. “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Pius XI in Quas Primas proclaimed: “His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ”. The “mission” of the conciliar sect is not the regnum Christi but a naturalistic humanitarianism — “traveling 330 miles for a catechumen… to visit one or two Muslim friends” — reducing the Blood of Christ to a footnote in a dialogue of the deaf.
The “Cousin’s” Testimony: The Conciliar Conscience Unmasked
Fr. Alfons Gea, the “cousin,” wrote: “Nor him, nor me, nor the family, will try to hide from the truth… He’s not the first nor the last to fall short of the sixth commandment”. He argued the allegations “should spark a debate about celibacy”. This is the voice of the conciliar “clergy”: cynical, lax, using scandal to attack the discipline of the Church. His “backtracking” — “What were merely my own biases… has turned into a conviction without a trial” — reveals the tribal loyalty that supersedes truth. Corruptio optimi pessima — the corruption of the best is the worst. These are not shepherds; they are mercenarii (John 10:12).
The Structural Impotence of the Neo-Church
The article notes the “Archdiocese of Rabat serves just 20,000 Catholics in 18 parishes” and that López Romero’s 2019 “elevation as cardinal surprised Church watchers.” This is the Church of man, not the Church of God. Titles are distributed as political favors; “cardinals” are created for tiny sees to advance ideological agendas. The “investigation” drags on, the “accused” waits in Spain, the “coadjutor” trembles with “fear and trembling” (Phil 2:12, grotesquely misapplied), and the faithful are left shepherdless.
“The state must leave the same freedom to the members of Orders and Congregations… who are indeed the most valiant helpers of the Pastors of the Church and contribute most to the expansion and establishment of Christ’s Kingdom.” (Pius XI, Quas Primas)
But there is no “State” recognizing Christ the King in Morocco, and no “Pastors” in the conciliar sect — only hirelings. The abomination of desolation (Matt 24:15) sits in the place of the sanctuary, and the “apostolic visitation” is but a ritual of the paramasonic structure managing its own decay.
Conclusion: The Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail Against the True Church
This sordid spectacle — a “cardinal” accused of solicitation, an antipope appointing a “coadjutor” to manage the fallout, a “priest” cousin calling for the end of celibacy, a “missionary” praising dialogue with Islam — is the inevitable fruit of the conciliar revolution. Arbor mala non potest fructus bonos facere (Matt 7:18). The conciliar sect has no jurisdiction, no valid sacraments (the new ordinal and missal being defective in form and intention), no magisterium, and no holiness. It is a synagogue of Satan (Apoc 2:9) masquerading as the Bride of Christ.
True Catholics — those adhering to the integral faith of Trent, the 1917 Code, and the pre-1958 Magisterium — recognize this for what it is: the great apostasy foretold (2 Thess 2:3). We do not “dialogue” with it; we anathematize it. We do not seek “reform” from within; we separate from it (2 Cor 6:17). The Kingship of Christ the King (Quas Primas) is not advanced by “coadjutors” of an antipope, but by the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary offered by valid priests, the rosary of the faithful, and the uncompromising profession of the Credo in its entirety. Viva Cristo Rey!
