EWTN’s Catholic News Agency portal (November 26, 2025) reports that antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) has appointed cardinal Grzegorz Ryś as “archbishop” of Kraków, replacing Marek Jędraszewski. The article emphasizes Ryś’s academic credentials and ecumenical activities while framing Karol Wojtyła (“John Paul II”) as a legitimate pontiff. This appointment exemplifies the conciliar sect’s systematic destruction of ecclesiastical hierarchy through invalid sacraments and doctrinal corruption.
Illegitimate Usurpation of Episcopal Authority
The purported “appointment” of Ryś holds no canonical validity since Leo XIV possesses neither papal authority nor jurisdiction. As St. Robert Bellarmine established in De Romano Pontifice (II.30): “A manifest heretic automatically loses all jurisdiction”. The conciliar sect’s leaders have publicly espoused heresies condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864), particularly the endorsement of religious liberty (Error 77) and ecumenism (Error 18). Pius XII’s apostolic constitution Episcopalis consecrationis (1944) requires validly consecrated bishops to possess both proper form and intention – conditions impossible under the reformed rites promulgated by Montini (“Paul VI”).
Within the Polish Bishops’ Conference, he presides over the Council for Religious Dialogue and the Committee for Dialogue with Judaism
This admission reveals Ryś’s immersion in apostasy. Pius XI’s Mortalium Animos (1928) condemned ecumenical dialogue as “pernicious error,” while the Holy Office decreed under Pius XII (1948) that participation in interfaith services constitutes formal cooperation with false religions. The article’s celebration of Ryś’s presidency over Jewish “dialogue” directly violates the oath against Modernism prescribed by St. Pius X: “I entirely reject the heretical misrepresentation that dogmas evolve and change” (Sacrorum Antistitum, 1910).
Corruption of Sacramental Theology
The report mentions Ryś’s “episcopal consecration” in 2011 using the invalid Paul VI rite. As demonstrated by Cardinals Ottaviani and Bacci in their Critical Study of the New Mass (1969), the reformed rites lack proper sacramental form and intention. Leo XIII’s Apostolicae Curae (1896) nullified Anglican orders for defects less grave than those in the conciliar sect’s episcopal rite, which:
- Omits essential prayers like Deus honorum omnium
- Replaces the consecratory imperative (“Accipe Spiritum Sanctum”) with descriptive narratives
- Manifests intention to create “presiders” rather than sacrificing priests
Consequently, Ryś and all conciliar “bishops” are laymen usurping ecclesiastical offices – a fulfillment of Our Lady of La Salette’s prophecy: “The Church will be in eclipse… the sacraments will be profaned” (1846). Their participation in the Polish “Bishops’ Conference” constitutes blasphemous parody, as true bishops ceased to exist in Poland after the death of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński (1981).
Perverted Ecclesiology and Wojtyła’s Canonized Apostasy
The article’s veneration of Wojtyła (“John Paul II”) as “Pope St. John Paul II” exposes its theological bankruptcy. The conciliar sect’s “canonization” of this arch-modernist violates every principle of canon law:
- No investigation into Wojtyła’s heresies: denial of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (Redemptor Hominis, 1979), promotion of false religions (Assisi 1986), and liturgical abuses
- Omission of mandatory devil’s advocate process (Benedict XIV, De Servorum Dei Beatificatione)
- Contradiction of Boniface VIII’s infallible decree Unam Sanctam (1302) by implying non-Catholics can be saints
Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) establishes Christ’s social kingship as the sole remedy for secularism, declaring: “Nations will be happy when both citizens and governments submit to the empire of Christ.” The conciliar sect’s appointment of ecumenist “bishops” constitutes rebellion against this divine order, reducing the Church to a NGO focused on interfaith “dialogue” rather than the salvation of souls.
Symptomatic Silence on Supernatural Reality
The article’s naturalistic language avoids all mention of:
- The state of Ryś’s soul (heretic/clandestine Mason?)
- Danger to Kraków’s faithful from invalid sacraments
- Eternal consequences of apostasy
This mirrors Modernism’s eradication of the supernatural, condemned in St. Pius X’s Pascendi (1907): “They deny the divine nature of faith, reducing it to subjective sentiment.” The report focuses exclusively on bureaucratic appointments and academic credentials – a perfect expression of the conciliar sect’s transformation of the Church into a managerial corporation.
Conclusion: Sheep Led by Wolves
Kraków’s Catholics now face spiritual catastrophe. Reception of “sacraments” from Ryś constitutes sacrilege, while attendance at his Novus Ordo “Masses” breaches the First Commandment. As the Council of Trent anathematized: “If anyone says true faith can coexist with heresy… let him be anathema” (Session VII, Canon 11). The faithful must flee these counterfeit structures and seek true priests operating outside the conciliar sect’s apostate hierarchy. Only through uncompromising adherence to Tradition can we fulfill Pius XI’s mandate: “Restore all things in Christ” (Ubi Arcano, 1922).
