Vatican Usurpers Tighten Grip on Roman Basilicas in Latest Power Grab
Catholic News Agency portal reports on November 26, 2025, that antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) issued a decree centralizing financial control over St. Peter’s Basilica and St. Mary Major under the conciliar sect’s “Council for the Economy.” This September 29 motu proprio – conspicuously hidden from public scrutiny until now – completes the systematic destruction of ecclesiastical autonomy begun under his predecessor Jorge Bergoglio. The decree subjects both basilicas’ administration to the same modernist structures governing other Vatican entities under Praedicate Evangelium (2022), the apostolic constitution that dismantled the Roman Curia’s traditional framework.
Financialization of Sacred Spaces as Spiritual Bankruptcy
The so-called “fine-tuning of economic reforms” constitutes nothing less than the complete subordination of sacred spaces to technocratic management. By placing the Fabric of St. Peter’s (established by Julius II in 1506 to preserve the basilica’s sanctity) under the “Council for the Economy,” the conciliar sect reduces Christendom’s holiest sites to balance sheets. This violates Pope Pius XI’s teaching that “the peace of Christ can only be achieved through the reign of Christ” (Quas Primas, 1925), which demands all temporal affairs submit to supernatural ends.
“the Holy See’s economic and financial reform requires ‘periodic reevaluation and redefinition’ of the applicable regulatory framework.”
This mercantile language exposes the conciliar sect’s fundamental heresy: equating the Church with a corporate entity. Contrast this with Pope Pius IX’s condemnation in the Syllabus of Errors (1864): “the Church is not a true and perfect society, entirely free” (Error 19). The true Church administers temporal goods solely for the glory of God and salvation of souls – not for “long-term financial sustainability amid rising operational costs,” as the article crassly states.
Continuation of Conciliar Revolution Against Church Authority
The abolition of the Fabric of St. Peter’s autonomy follows the established modernist pattern: dismantle traditional structures under the guise of “synodality” while centralizing power in revolutionary committees. As St. Pius X warned in Lamentabili Sane (1907), modernists seek “the destruction of the Church’s immutable constitution” (Propositions 52-56). The creation of a “consultative group” overseen by the “Secretariat for the Economy” constitutes a parallel hierarchy – a hallmark of Marxist subversion techniques.
Notably absent is any mention of the basilicas’ sacramental purpose. The article obsesses over administrative mechanisms while ignoring that these churches exist primarily for the offering of the Most Holy Sacrifice. This silence proves the conciliar sect’s ontological inversion: prioritizing financial governance over spiritual realities. Pope St. Pius V’s Quo Primum (1570) established perpetual rights for traditional liturgical practice in these very basilicas – rights now obliterated by bureaucratic fiat.
Systematic Eradication of Patrimony
The decree completes Bergoglio’s 2022 centralization of Vatican investments under APSA (Amministrazione del Patrimonio della Sede Apostolica), reversing even his own earlier reforms. This demonstrates the conciliar sect’s institutional schizophrenia – lurching between contradictory policies while maintaining relentless hostility toward tradition. The October 2025 decree Coniuncta Cura, mentioned in passing, represents another step toward transforming the Holy See into a hedge fund with a religious façade.
What the article celebrates as “diversifying management” constitutes the final secularization of Church property. The Fabric of St. Peter’s once answered directly to the Supreme Pontiff to protect it from worldly interference. Now, modernist bureaucrats will manage it alongside other “accredited intermediaries” – a term indistinguishable from secular corporate governance. This fulfills Pope St. Pius X’s prophecy that modernists would reduce religion to “a kind of longing for the unknown… without any dogma” (Pascendi Dominici Gregis, 1907).
Theological Implications of Sacrilegious Administration
By subjecting St. Peter’s – the very heart of Catholic Christendom – to economic oversight committees, the conciliar sect commits sacrilege against the Petrine Office. The article’s reference to promulgation in the “San Damaso Courtyard” (traditionally used for authentic papal decrees) constitutes psychological warfare against faithful Catholics. True canon law requires that laws promoting the “salvation of souls and the worship, discipline, and government of the Church” (Code of Canon Law 1917, Canon 7) – not financial optimization schemes.
The decree’s hidden nature until promulgation reveals the conciliar sect’s contempt for transparency. Contrast this with Pope Benedict XV’s Providentissima Mater (1917), which published the first Code of Canon Law for universal accessibility. When antipopes govern through clandestine decrees posted in courtyards, they imitate Freemasonic secrecy – not the lux veritatis that guided authentic popes.
Conclusion: Acceleration Toward Total Apostasy
This administrative reshuffling constitutes another brick in the neo-church’s Babylonian edifice. As Pope Leo XIII warned: “When the State lays its hand on the Church… it is usurping what belongs to God” (Immortale Dei, 1885). By seizing control of Rome’s ancient basilicas, the conciliar sect fulfills Our Lord’s prophecy: “When you see the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place” (Matthew 24:15). Traditional Catholics must recognize these structures as occupied territory – while maintaining the true Mass and sacraments in catacomb churches until Christ the King restores His visible Church.
