The Pillar portal (November 2, 2026) reports that the usurper Robert Prevost, styling himself “Pope Leo XIV,” has registered for an absentee ballot to vote in the United States midterm elections under his prepontifical name. The article frames the ensuing controversy as a debate between “practical” legal complications and “conceptual” objections regarding the personification of the papal office, even coining the blasphemous term “Benedict Option” to describe Prevost’s attempt to bifurcate his person into a “private citizen” and a “universal pastor.” This theatrical maneuver exposes the conciliar sect’s definitive surrender to secular democracy and its total abandonment of the Social Kingship of Christ.
The Usurper’s Ballot: A Sacrilege Against the Rights of Christ the King
The very premise of the article—that a man claiming the Petrine Office could participate in the electoral circus of a Masonic republic—is a formal denial of the Kingship of Christ over all nations. Pope Pius XI, in Quas Primas, teaches with unshakeable authority: “The state is happy not by one means, and man by another; for the state is nothing else than a harmonious association of men… Let rulers of states therefore not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ… For when God and Jesus Christ were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed”. The “pope” of the neo-church, by casting a ballot for the servants of a godless constitution, performs an act of public apostasy. He acknowledges the sovereignty of the people (vox populi) over the sovereignty of God (vox Dei), trampling the Syllabus of Errors where Pius IX condemns the proposition: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55) and “In the present day it is no longer expedient that the Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of the State” (Error 77). Prevost’s vote is not a “private act”; it is a solemn ratification of the Masonic order.
The “Benedict Option”: A Diabolical Parody of Papal Infallibility and Indefectibility
The Pillar’s neologism—”Benedict Option”—reveals the depth of the theological rot. It references the antipope Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger), whose “resignation” was a manifest heresy against the nature of the Petrine Office. A true Pope cannot resign the munus any more than Christ can resign His Headship of the Church. The Defense of Sedevacantism demonstrates conclusively: “A Pope who is a manifest heretic, by that very fact ceases to be Pope and head… by which things he may be judged and punished by the Church” (St. Robert Bellarmine). Ratzinger’s “retirement” created the precedent for the bifurcation of the person from the office, a schizophrenic theology now weaponized by Prevost. The article admits: “The thrust of the criticism… boils down to the argument that Robert Prevost, the man and private citizen, no longer exists… there is only Pope Leo XIV, and he, as pope, is, and must be, a citizen of nowhere.” This is the only Catholic position. The article’s suggestion that “Prevost the man and Leo the pope can legally coexist” is a Nestorian heresy applied to the Papacy—dividing the subject who exercises the office. As Pope Celestine I taught regarding Nestorius: “he could not remove anyone by sentence who himself had already shown that he must be removed”. A man who votes in a Masonic election has ipso facto defected from the Faith (Canon 188.4, 1917 Code) and cannot be Pope.
Juridical Naturalism: The Conciliar Sect’s Idolatry of Positive Law
The article’s obsession with “legal complications,” “legal coexistence,” and “absentee ballot” registration reveals the naturalistic juridicism that has replaced supernatural theology in the neo-church. St. Pius X condemned in Lamentabili Sane Exitu the Modernist error: “The Church listening cooperates in such a way with the Church teaching in defining truths of faith, that the Church teaching should only approve the common opinions of the Church listening” (Prop. 6). Here, the “Church teaching” (the neo-magisterium) approves the “common opinion” of democratic citizenship. The Syllabus condemns: “The civil government… has a right to an indirect negative power over religious affairs” (Error 41) and “In the case of conflicting laws enacted by the two powers, the civil law prevails” (Error 42). By voting, the antipope submits the Petrine Office to the jurisdiction of the United States Federal Election Commission. He acknowledges Caesar’s right to define the conditions of Peter’s existence. This is the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place.
The Silence on the Supernatural: The Gravest Accusation
Read the article again. There is not a single word about the State of Grace, the Salvation of Souls, the Social Reign of Christ, the duty of the Civil Power to profess the Catholic Faith, or the Final Judgment. The vocabulary is entirely bureaucratic: “registered,” “absentee ballot,” “midterm elections,” “legal complications,” “news coverage,” “low-stakes context of college basketball.” This is the language of the Synagogue of Satan, not the Church of Christ. Pius XI warned: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation” (Quas Primas, citing Ubi Arcano). The Pillar, a flagship organ of the conciliar sect, produces “journalism” that is functionally atheistic. It treats the Vicar of Christ (in their false narrative) as a functionary of the Deep State.
The “Private Citizen” Heresy: A Masonic Construct
The article’s central thesis—that Prevost can “draw a line between Pope Leo XIV and the man Robert Prevost”—is the ecclesiological equivalent of the “Two Lucia Sisters” theory exposed in the Fatima dossier: a desperate attempt to save the phenomenon by multiplying the subject. The Fatima document notes: “Suspicion of the visionary being replaced after 1958… Conclusion: there was only one Lucia.” There is only one Robert Prevost. If he votes, he votes as the man he is. If he is Pope, he votes as Pope. Since a Pope voting in a Masonic election is a contradictio in adjecto, the act proves he is not Pope. The “Benedict Option” is the ratification of the Vacant See. The structures occupying the Vatican are a paramasonic structure, and their “pope” is a layman in white vestments, exercising a usurped jurisdiction to legitimize the democratic idol.
Conclusion: The Vote is the Verdict
The absentee ballot of Robert Prevost is not a “news story.” It is a theological datum. It confirms the Sede Vacante. It proves the conciliar sect is not the Catholic Church, but its parody, a “Church of the New Advent” built on the sand of religious liberty, ecumenism, and democratic legitimacy. “You see clearly enough how sad and full of perils is the condition of Catholics… a ferocious war on the Church, its institutions and the rights of the Apostolic See has been raging… the synagogue of Satan, which gathers its troops against the Church of Christ, takes its strength” (Pius IX, Syllabus Appendix). The faithful must reject the antipope, reject the neo-church, and cleave to the immutable Tradition where Christ reigns as King, and His Vicar does not vote for Caesar.
