The VaticanNews portal (November 26, 2025) reports that antipope Leo XIV has issued a “prayer intention” for Christians in conflict zones, particularly ahead of his planned visit to Turkey and Lebanon. The text presents this figure as praying that war-torn Christians might “be seeds of peace, reconciliation, and hope” while invoking generic spiritual platitudes about “fraternal bonds” and “bridges of justice and mercy.” The accompanying communique praises Middle Eastern Christian communities for their “unshakable faith” despite persecution, while promoting ecumenical collaboration with “people of other Churches and faiths.” This modernist spectacle constitutes not merely theological error but a direct assault on the Social Kingship of Christ.
Naturalistic Substitution of Supernatural Mission
The conciliar sect’s prayer intentionally omits the Regnum Christi (Kingship of Christ) as the sole solution to human conflicts, instead reducing Christians to social workers building “bridges of coexistence” with false religions. This directly violates Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925), which declared: “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.” By framing peace as achievable through human dialogue rather than submission to Christ’s reign, the antipope’s prayer constitutes apostasy from the divine mandate that “all authority in heaven and on earth” belongs solely to Christ (Matthew 28:18).
Notably absent is any call for the conversion of Muslims or heretics – the sine qua non of true peace. As the 1907 decree Lamentabili Sane condemned: “The obligation by which Catholic teachers and authors are strictly bound is confined to those things only which are proposed to universal belief as dogmas of faith by the infallible judgment of the Church” (Proposition 22). The conciliar sect’s silence on the duty of states to profess the Catholic Faith exposes its adherence to the condemned error that “every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true” (Pius IX, Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 15).
Ecumenical Betrayal Disguised as Charity
The article’s praise for Christians building “bridges” with non-Catholics constitutes explicit promotion of religious indifferentism. Pius XI’s Mortalium Animos (1928) anathematized such false ecumenism: “The union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it, for in the past they have unhappily left it.” The conciliar sect’s focus on interfaith “coexistence” rather than conversion aligns with Masonic principles condemned in Leo XIII’s Humanum Genus (1884), which warned that Freemasonry seeks “to bring about the triumph of the theories of false human charity and of naturalism.”
Worse still, the “prayer” addresses God in deliberately ambiguous terms acceptable to Muslims and Jews – “God of peace” rather than “Lord Jesus Christ” – thereby denying the Trinitarian faith. This fulfills Pius X’s condemnation in Lamentabili of those who claim “Revelation could not be something other than the consciousness acquired by man of his relation to God” (Proposition 21). The absence of any mention of the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as the source of grace reveals the conciliar sect’s Protestantized understanding of prayer as mere human sentiment rather than participation in Christ’s sacerdotal work.
Omission of Apostasy as Root Cause
Nowhere does the antipope identify modernist apostasy as the true source of persecution against Christians. The article’s reference to “socio-economic conditions” causing Christian persecution deliberately obscures the theological reality that Islam inherently seeks the destruction of the Church (Canon 3, Second Council of Lyon). Pius XI warned in Quas Primas that “the rebellion of individuals and states against the authority of Christ has produced deplorable consequences,” yet the conciliar sect promotes the very secularist errors that enable Islamic persecution.
The prayer’s concluding plea to “make us builders of unity” constitutes blasphemous usurpation of Christ’s unique role as Church founder. As the Council of Florence infallibly declared: “The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes and preaches that all those outside the Catholic Church… cannot share in eternal life” (Session 11). True unity requires submission to Rome’s authority – precisely what the conciliar sect has abandoned through its false ecumenism. This prayer intention is not Catholic piety but a Masonic ritual disguised as Christian devotion, advancing the very religious relativism condemned in Proposition 77 of the Syllabus of Errors: “In the present day it is no longer expedient that the Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of the State, to the exclusion of all other forms of worship.”
