The EWTN portal reports on the impending visit of the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) to France from September 25–28, 2026, framing it as a moment for the “Church’s social doctrine” to address a secular Europe on euthanasia, artificial intelligence, and immigration. The article details a carefully choreographed itinerary—Paris, Lourdes, Metz—including a UNESCO address, a migrant center visit, and a Mass at Place de la Concorde, while noting the Holy See’s refusal to allow President Macron to accompany the antipope into Notre-Dame. The piece highlights rising adult baptisms in France as a sign of “Catholicism grows,” ignoring that these conversions occur within the conciliar sect’s invalid sacramental economy. This visit is not a proclamation of Christ’s Kingship but a Masonic spectacle wherein the conciliar sect legitimizes the French Republic’s apostate laïcité, peddling naturalistic humanism as Catholic doctrine while the antipope surrenders the Church’s divine mandate to the secular state.
The Conciliar Sect’s Capitulation to Laïcité: A Violation of Christ’s Royal Rights
The cited article reveals the conciliar sect’s fundamental betrayal: its acceptance of laïcité—the strict separation of Church and State condemned by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors (Error 55: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church”)—as a legitimate framework for the Church’s mission. Father Patrick Valdrini, a conciliar “priest,” describes laïcité as rooted in the French Revolution’s view that “religion hinders freedom and reason.” This is not a mere historical observation; it is an admission that the conciliar sect operates within the Masonic paradigm of 1789, treating the Church as a private association rather than the perfect society endowed by Christ with proper and perpetual rights (Syllabus, Error 19).
Pius XI, in Quas Primas, declares unequivocally: “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” (Encyclical Annum Sacrum, cited in Quas Primas). The antipope’s visit to UNESCO—the very temple of Masonic globalism—to discuss artificial intelligence, while refusing only the symbolic gesture of Macron’s presence at Notre-Dame, exposes the conciliar sect’s strategy: collaborate with the secular power in substance while preserving a veneer of independence for public consumption. This is the hermeneutic of continuity with the Revolution, not with Tradition.
Euthanasia: The Antipope’s “Subsidiarity” as Complicity in Murder
The article states that the antipope “will certainly repeat what is the Catholic doctrine: the preservation of life from the beginning to… the natural end,” but “will also leave to… the French Catholic Church the debate with the political parties.” This is a diabolical perversion of subsidiarity. The French Republic has legalized euthanasia and assisted suicide—state-sanctioned murder—and the antipope’s response is to delegate opposition to the very “bishops” who belong to the conciliar sect that has abandoned the integral faith.
Pius XI teaches that Christ’s judicial authority includes “the right of the judge to reward and punish men even during their lifetime” (Quas Primas). The Church’s duty is not to “debate” with political parties but to condemn error authoritatively in the name of Christ the King. The Syllabus condemns the error that “The civil law prevails” over ecclesiastical law in conflicting laws (Error 42). By accepting the French state’s legislative competence over life and death, the antipope acknowledges the supremacy of Caesar over God—the very essence of the Antichrist’s kingdom. The silence on the propitiatory Sacrifice, the state of grace, and the final judgment in the article’s treatment of end-of-life issues confirms the conciliar sect’s reduction of morality to naturalistic humanitarianism.
Artificial Intelligence and the “Magnifica Humanitas”: Modernism’s New Idol
The article notes that the antipope’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas on artificial intelligence “has had a fairly strong impact in France.” This document—unnamed in the Church’s perennial Magisterium—exemplifies the Modernist evolution of dogma condemned by St. Pius X in Lamentabili Sane Exitu: “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” (Proposition 59). The conciliar sect invents new “encyclicals” to address novel technological challenges, implicitly denying the sufficiency of the Deposit of Faith and the Church’s immutable moral theology.
The address at UNESCO—a body dedicated to constructing a Masonic “universal religion” of humanity—signals the conciliar sect’s full participation in the cult of man denounced by Pius XI: “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” (Quas Primas, citing Ubi Arcano). The antipope does not proclaim Christ the King at UNESCO; he offers “points of reference” for a godless technological order.
Immigration: Naturalistic Humanitarianism Masquerading as Charity
The article describes the antipope’s visit to a migrant integration center and quotes the French ambassador to the Holy See praising his “very balanced” statements focusing on “the responsibility of nations to help people stay in their homeland.” This is pure naturalism. The true Catholic doctrine on immigration, rooted in the common good and the Kingship of Christ, demands that nations protect their faith, culture, and people—not that they facilitate demographic replacement under the guise of “human dignity.”
Pius XII, in Exsul Familia (1952), teaches that migration must be ordered to the glory of God and the salvation of souls, not merely temporal welfare. The conciliar sect’s “balanced” approach—echoed by the ambassador, a servant of the secular state—reveals its role as the religious arm of the Masonic New World Order, dissolving Christendom’s borders while the antipope prays at Lourdes for “victims of abuse,” a spectacle of false penance that obscures the conciliar sect’s own institutional apostasy.
Lourdes and the “Growing Catholicism”: False Conversions in a False Church
The article trumpets “more than 20,000 adult and adolescent baptisms” in France, a 20% increase, as evidence that “Catholicism grows.” This is a statistical lie serving a theological fraud. These baptisms are administered by “priests” of the conciliar sect—most invalidly ordained under the Paul VI rite (1968), which defects from the form and intention of the Sacrament of Orders. The converts are entering a neo-church that denies Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus, practices false ecumenism, and worships at the altar of religious liberty.
St. Pius X condemns the Modernist proposition: “The Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics, because it steadfastly adheres to its views, which cannot be reconciled with modern progress” (Lamentabili, Prop. 63). The conciliar sect’s “growth” is the growth of the abomination of desolation in the holy place. The antipope’s meeting with “victims of abuse” at Lourdes is a ritual of the new religion: the cult of the victim replaces the Cult of the Victim—Christ Crucified.
The State Visit Farce: Two Swords in One Scabbard
The article distinguishes between “state visit” and “apostolic journey,” noting the Holy See refused Macron’s request to enter Notre-Dame together. This theatrical separation mirrors the conciliar sect’s duplicitous claim to possess both spiritual and temporal authority while serving the Masonic Republic. Pius XI teaches: “The Church, established by Christ as a perfect society, demands for itself by a right belonging to it, which it cannot renounce, full freedom and independence from secular authority” (Quas Primas). The antipope’s acceptance of a state visit protocol—official ceremonies, diplomatic niceties—while pretending a “pastoral character,” is the modus vivendi of the Whore of Babylon riding the Beast (Apoc. 17:3).
The Syllabus condemns: “The civil government… has a right to an indirect negative power over religious affairs” (Error 41). The conciliar sect’s very existence in the Vatican, recognized by the Italian Republic and the UN, is a perpetual violation of this condemnation. The antipope’s visit to France—the “eldest daughter of the Church” now the eldest daughter of the Revolution—seals the conciliar sect’s pact with the powers of darkness.
Conclusion: The Antichrist’s Prefecture in Action
Every element of this visit—UNESCO, Lourdes, migrant center, Place de la Concorde Mass—is choreographed to advance the Masonic project: a universal religion of humanity under the guise of Catholicism. The antipope Leo XIV, like his predecessors since John XXIII, is the vicar of the Antichrist in the abomination of desolation. The faithful remnant must reject this spectacle entirely. Non praevalebunt (Mt 16:18)—the gates of hell shall not prevail against the true Church, which subsists in those bishops and priests who preserve the integral faith, the traditional Mass, and the unbroken apostolic succession outside the conciliar structures. Return to Tradition. Reject the conciliar sect. Recognize the vacant See. Await the true Pope who will restore all things in Christ.
