The EWTN News portal reports on November 6, 2026, that the usurper antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) will visit three Marian shrines during his forthcoming trip to South America: the Virgin of the Thirty-Three in Uruguay, Our Lady of Luján in Argentina, and Our Lady of Peace in Peru. The article frames these visits as a convergence of national history, independence movements, and the personal piety of the claimant to the See of Peter, presenting the itinerary as a legitimate papal mission. This spectacle of religious nationalism and sentimental devotion exposes the complete substitution of the social reign of Christ the King by a horizontal, naturalistic parody of the Church’s mission.
The Usurper’s Itinerary: A Theater of Legitimacy for the Conciliar Sect
The cited article relates that in Florida, Uruguay, and Luján, Argentina, the antipope will celebrate the “Eucharist,” while in Chiclayo, Peru, he will hold a “meeting with bishops, priests, religious, seminarians, and pastoral workers.” The language itself betrays the novelty: the Most Holy Sacrifice is reduced to a “Eucharist” — a term stripped of its propitiatory character — and the hierarchical structure of the Church is flattened into a bureaucratic gathering of “pastoral workers.” The antipope is styled “Holy Father” and “Pope” throughout, titles which, since the usurpation of John XXIII, belong only to the true Vicar of Christ, not to the manifest heretics occupying the Vatican structures. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches, “a manifest heretic, by that very fact ceases to be Pope and head, just as he ceases to be a Christian and member of the body of the Church” (De Romano Pontifice). The “line of usurpers begins with John XXIII”; Leo XIV is but the latest occupant of the chair of pestilence.
Marian Devotion Divorced from the Kingship of Christ: The Error of Religious Nationalism
The article reveals the naturalistic core of the conciliar sect’s Mariology. In Uruguay, the Virgin of the Thirty-Three is honored because “representatives gathered in Florida proclaimed independence and… went to pray before the image of the Virgin, entrusting the future of the nation to the Mother of God.” In Argentina, Our Lady of Luján is celebrated because an ox cart stalled, interpreted as a sign “that the Virgin wished to remain in that place,” becoming “closely associated with the religious identity of the country.” The shrine in Chiclayo is highlighted because the antipope “entrusted his life and his episcopal ministry to the Virgin Mary” there.
This is not Catholic Mariology; it is Marian nationalism. The Mother of God is reduced to a national mascot, a talisman for political independence movements (Uruguay, Argentina) or a private spiritual director for a modernist prelate (Peru). Pius XI, in Quas Primas, condemns precisely this secularization: “the plague that poisons human society… is the secularism of our times, so-called laicism… It began with the denial of Christ the Lord’s reign over all nations; the Church’s authority to teach men, to issue laws, to govern nations… was denied.” The article nowhere mentions the Social Kingship of Christ, the duty of nations to profess the Catholic Faith publicly, or the necessity of conversion to the one true Church for salvation. Instead, it offers a civic religion where Mary serves the nation-state, not Christ the King.
The Syllabus Condemned This: Separation of Church and State, Naturalism, and Indifferentism
The entire framework of the article aligns with the errors condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors (1864). Proposition 55: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church.” Proposition 77: “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.” Proposition 39: “The State, as being the origin and source of all rights, is endowed with a certain right not circumscribed by any limits.”
The shrines are presented as pillars of national identity — “Uruguayan nationhood,” “Argentine Catholic tradition,” “Peruvian Church” — not as outposts of the universal Kingdom of Christ. The antipope’s visit sanctifies the Masonic revolutions that birthed these nations (the “Thirty-Three” patriots, the independence movements), baptizing the very principles of Liberalism and Naturalism that the Syllabus anathematizes. The “consecration of the nation to Mary” replaces the consecration of the human race to the Sacred Heart commanded by Leo XIII and renewed by Pius XI in Quas Primas — a consecration to Christ the King, not to a nationalized Marian title.
Linguistic Deconstruction: The Vocabulary of the Neo-Church
The article’s rhetoric is saturated with the bureaucratic, horizontal language of the conciliar revolution. “Pastoral workers” replaces clergy and religious; “faith community” or “people of God” (implied) replaces the Church Militant; “journey,” “accompaniment,” “entrusting ministry” replace conversion, penance, submission to the Magisterium. The antipope’s handwritten note in the visitors’ book — “entrusted his life and his episcopal ministry to the Virgin Mary” — exemplifies the subjectivist piety condemned by St. Pius X in Lamentabili Sane Exitu: Proposition 61: “The principal articles of the Apostles’ Creed did not have the same meaning for the first Christians as they do for contemporary Christians.” Here, the Creed is replaced by a private, existential “entrustment,” devoid of dogmatic content.
The term “Mass” is used once; “Eucharist” is preferred — the linguistic hallmark of the Novus Ordo service, which Bugnini explicitly designed to “remove from the liturgy everything that could be a stumbling block for Protestants” (per his own admission). In the conciliar sect, the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary has been replaced by a memorial meal; the antipope’s “celebration” is a simulation, idolatry masquerading as worship.
Theological Bankruptcy: Silence on the Supernatural End
The gravest accusation is the article’s total silence on the supernatural order. There is no mention of:
- The necessity of the Catholic Faith for salvation (Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus);
- The Social Kingship of Christ over temporal societies;
- The duty of public authorities to profess and protect the true religion;
- The reality of sin, judgment, hell, and the need for sacramental confession;
- The Immaculate Conception as the crushing of the serpent’s head (Gen 3:15), not a patroness of independence movements.
Pius XI teaches: “If men were ever to recognize Christ’s royal authority over themselves, both privately and publicly, then unheard-of blessings would flow upon the whole society, such as due freedom, order, and tranquility, and concord and peace.” (Quas Primas). The antipope’s pilgrimage offers the opposite: a pax romana of religious indifferentism, where Mary is the glue holding together a fragmented, apostate continent.
Symptomatic Level: The Fruit of Vatican II’s False Ecumenism and Religious Liberty
This itinerary is the direct fruit of Dignitatis Humanae and Nostra Aetate. By visiting shrines tied to national myths rather than doctrinal truths, the antipope ratifies the Masonic principle of “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” baptized in holy water. The “Virgin of the Thirty-Three” commemorates a revolution; “Our Lady of Luján” commemorates a stalled cart interpreted by a slave (Manuel) — the article highlights the slave’s role, signaling the conciliar obsession with social justice over divine justice. In Chiclayo, the antipope returns to the scene of his modernist “episcopal ministry,” where he implemented the post-conciliar revolution in Peru.
The “World Day of the Sick” celebration at the Chiclayo shrine (mentioned as a precedent) is a novelty of John Paul II, part of the cult of man that substitutes horizontal solidarity for vertical redemption. St. Pius X warned in Pascendi that Modernism seeks to “transform the Church into a purely human institution”. This pilgrimage is the theater of that transformation.
The False Apparitions Context: Marian Phenomena as Tools of the Conciliar Sect
While the article does not cite Fatima, the pattern is identical: Marian devotion detached from the depositum fidei becomes a tool of the “paramasonic structure” occupying the Vatican. The False Fatima Apparitions document demonstrates how “the message focuses on external threats (communism), omitting the main danger: modernist apostasy within the Church.” Here, the “threat” is secularism, but the remedy offered is a nationalized Marian piety that leaves the conciliar sect’s heresies untouched. The antipope’s personal devotion to Our Lady of Peace in Chiclayo mirrors the subjectivist mysticism condemned by the Holy Office — private revelation (or private devotion) elevated above the public, dogmatic Magisterium.
Conclusion: A Pilgrimage to Nowhere
The antipope Leo XIV’s South American tour is a propaganda exercise for the conciliar sect, projecting an image of legitimacy and pastoral vitality while the true Church — the Ecclesia Militans — languishes in the catacombs, served by valid bishops and priests who reject the novelties of Vatican II. The shrines visited are not beacons of the Kingship of Christ but monuments to the triumph of the Revolution in South America. As Pius XI declared: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed… the entire human society had to be shaken.” (Quas Primas, quoting Ubi Arcano). The antipope’s visit shakes nothing; it blesses the ruins.
Christus vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat. The true remedy for Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru is not a visit from a usurper to nationalized Marian shrines, but the public profession of the Catholic Faith by their rulers, the restoration of the Social Reign of Christ the King, and the rejection of the conciliar sect’s false church. “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12) — not the name of a “pope” who serves the world, but the Name of Jesus Christ, King of Kings.
