Catholic News Agency reports that approximately 16,000 teenagers attended a Nov. 22, 2025, Mass concluding the National Catholic Youth Conference in Indianapolis, featuring Archbishop Nelson Pérez and invoking a digital message from antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost). The event emphasized emotional experiences over doctrine, with Pérez describing the “Church in its splendor” while distorting Christ’s kingship into psychological metaphor rather than divine reality. This spectacle epitomizes the conciliar sect’s systematic replacement of Catholic worship with anthropocentric entertainment.
Reduction of Christ’s Kingship to Therapeutic Symbolism
Pérez’s homily systematically eviscerated the dogmatic substance of Christ’s royal dignity as defined by Pius XI in Quas primas (1925): “His kingship is founded upon the ineffable hypostatic union. From this it follows not only that Christ is to be adored by angels and men, but that to Him as man angels and men are subject, and must recognize His empire” (n.13). Contrary to this immutable teaching, Pérez reduced Our Lord’s sovereignty to emotional manipulation:
“His throne is a cross. His crown is not made of gold and gems. It’s made of thorns. He doesn’t wear fancy, beautiful, priceless rings on his hands. He has nails.”
This rhetorical flourish deliberately obscures the dogmatic truth that Christ’s Passion constitutes His triumphant enthronement (John 12:32) – not a negation of His regal authority. Pius XI explicitly condemned such naturalistic distortions: “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” (n.19). The complete absence of any reference to Christ’s right to govern nations or the duty of states to submit to His law reveals the homily’s embedded religious indifferentism.
Sacramental Nullity in Conciliar Liturgical Parodies
The article’s claim that “sacraments” were celebrated at NCYC constitutes theological fraud. The post-conciliar “Mass” lacks the essential forma and intentio required for validity, as demonstrated by the New Rite’s General Instruction: “The Lord’s Supper or Mass… is the sacred meeting or congregation of the People of God… under the presidency of the priest” (n.7). This Protestantized definition directly contradicts the Council of Trent’s anathema against those denying the Mass as “a true and proper sacrifice offered to God” (Session XXII, Canon 1).
The event’s description reveals further sacrilege:
- Lucas Oil Stadium desecration: Catholic tradition forbade profane venues for divine worship (Canon 1164 §2, 1917 CIC). The choice of a sports arena transforms worship into entertainment.
- Invalid “priests”: Over 240 conciliar “presbyters” participated – men ordained through Paul VI’s defective rite lacking sacramental form (Pius XII, Sacramentum Ordinis).
- Sacramental starvation: No mention of Confession or Eucharistic adoration – only “community” and emotional experiences.
Antipope’s Heretical “Message” to Youth
The digital message from antipope Leo XIV promoted pure Modernism condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi as “the synthesis of all heresies” (n.39):
“Christ loves you just as you are… Do not fear what he may ask of you. If he challenges you to make changes in your life, it’s always because he wants to give you greater joy and freedom.”
This diabolical inversion eliminates:
- The necessity of repentance: “Unless you do penance, you shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3)
- Mortal sin’s eternal consequences: “No fornicator, or unclean person, or covetous person (which is serving idols) hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God” (Ephesians 5:5)
- The Cross’ demands: “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily” (Luke 9:23)
Pérez compounded this heresy by equating friendship with Christ to human relationships – a gnostic rejection of sacramental grace. Pius X’s Lamentabili explicitly condemned the proposition that “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (n.20).
Omission of Eschatological Warnings
The NCYC’s complete silence on four last things (death, judgment, heaven, hell) constitutes pastoral malpractice. Traditional Catholic youth formation emphasized:
- St. Aloysius Gonzaga’s meditation on judgment: “What will it profit me to gain the whole world if I lose my soul?”
- St. Dominic Savio’s motto: “Death rather than sin!”
- Our Lady of Fatima’s warning: “More souls go to hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason”
Instead, NCYC promoted the condemned error of universal salvation through Pérez’s distortion of resurrection theology: “Dying to sin… rising to new life… until we die in Christ for the last time and then rise with him.” This implies all achieve salvation – directly contradicting Christ’s warning: “Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14).
Structural Apostasy in Conciliar Youth Formation
The event’s ethos fulfills Paul VI’s 1968 prophecy: “The smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God through some crack” (June 29 homily). NCYC exemplifies:
- Naturalization of grace: Replacing sacraments with emotional experiences
- Cult of man: Pérez’s claim that divisive times require “hope” from youth gatherings rather than the Rosary and penitence
- Religious indifference: No call to convert non-Catholics or combat errors
As Pius XI warned in Quas primas: “When once men recognize… that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony” (n.19). NCYC 2025 proves the conciliar sect has abandoned this mission for pagan humanism.
