The VaticanNews portal reports (November 23, 2025) that antipope Leo XIV issued appeals after his “Mass” on the counterfeit “Solemnity of Christ the King” regarding kidnappings in Nigeria and Cameroon. The article describes his “immense sadness” over abducted students and “priests,” urging authorities to secure their release while praying that “churches and schools may always and everywhere remain places of safety and hope.” The text concludes with mentions of Ukraine and the antipope’s upcoming journey to Türkiye and Lebanon for ecumenical celebrations of Nicaea’s anniversary.
Naturalism Masquerading as Pastoral Concern
The entire narrative operates within a purely horizontal framework, reducing the Church’s mission to humanitarian activism. Quas primas (Pius XI, 1925) established Christ the King’s feast precisely to combat such naturalism, declaring: “Nations will be reminded by the annual celebration of this feast that not only private individuals but also rulers and princes are bound to give public honor and obedience to Christ.” Yet the conciliar sect’s “pope” makes no demand for national conversion to Christ’s social reign – the only true solution to societal collapse.
By framing violence as merely a security issue solvable through “competent authorities,” the antipope tacitly endorses the modernist heresy condemned in the Syllabus of Errors: “The State, as being the origin and source of all rights, is endowed with a certain right not circumscribed by any limits” (Pius IX, Proposition 39). Where Pius XI commanded rulers to “submit to the sweet dominion of Christ,” this counterfeit appeal reinforces secular power structures.
Theological Vacuum in Crisis Response
Nowhere does the text mention:
- The sacraments as means of grace for persecuted faithful
- Reparation for sacrileges enabling such atrocities
- Christ’s Kingship as the foundation of societal order
- Hell as the ultimate consequence for unrepentant perpetrators
This omission proves the conciliar sect’s abandonment of supernatural faith. Compare this to Pius XI’s encyclical on Christ the King: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony.” The counterfeit “pope” offers only temporal safety, not the libertas gloriae filiorum Dei (freedom of the glory of the children of God – Rom 8:21).
Ecumenical Betrayal at Nicaea Anniversary
The announcement of the antipope’s journey to Türkiye under the guise of commemorating Nicaea’s 1700th anniversary constitutes blasphemous irony. The Council of Nicaea (325 AD) defined Christ’s consubstantiality with the Father, anathematizing Arian heretics who denied His divinity. Yet the conciliar sect now embraces these very heresies through:
“dialogue” with Orthodox schismatics who reject papal supremacy
and
interfaith gatherings with Muslims who deny Christ’s divinity
The forthcoming apostolic letter In Unitate Fidei will undoubtedly promote the condemned error that “the Roman Church has become the head of all Churches, not by the institution of Divine Providence, but by merely political reasons” (Lamentabili, Proposition 56). True Catholic unity demands submission to Rome’s authority – not the interfaith syncretism implied in this announcement.
Sacrilegious Distortion of Christ’s Kingship
The choice to stage this appeal after a counterfeit “Christ the King” celebration reveals doctrinal corruption. Pius XI established the feast to combat laicism, declaring: “When once men recognize… that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty.” Yet the conciliar sect has:
- Replaced the Traditional Mass (where Christ’s Kingship permeates every prayer) with a Protestantized supper
- Omitted references to Christ’s social reign in their rewritten liturgy
- Reduced the feast to empty symbolism devoid of doctrinal content
When the antipope says “let churches… remain places of safety,” he perverts the Church’s primary mission as castra militiae Christi (encampment of Christ’s army). True safety lies not in physical security but in sanctifying grace – a concept absent from this naturalistic plea.
Conclusion: Silence That Condemns
The gravest indictment lies in what the article doesn’t say:
- No call for Nigeria/Cameroon to establish Catholicism as state religion
- No condemnation of Islam’s role in African persecutions
- No exhortation to martyrdom for captured faithful
- No warning that receiving “Communion” in invalid rites constitutes sacrilege
This silence confirms the conciliar sect’s apostasy. As St. Pius X warned in Pascendi: “The Modernist church is a church which… adapts itself to all forms… to be all things to all men like the Apostle, but without the Apostle’s spirit.” Until Africa submits to Christ’s Social Kingship through the true Mass and Catholic monarchs, no appeals to secular authorities will end this martyrdom.
