Papal Idolatry in Lebanon: Students Manipulated by Conciliar Sect’s Usurper
The Catholic News Agency portal (November 27, 2025) reports on Lebanese students from the School of the Apostles in Jounieh preparing letters and posters for the visit of “Pope” Leo XIV, whom they describe as the “Holy Father.” The article emphasizes emotional preparation through workshops, daily Masses for the visit’s “success,” and student letters pleading for Lebanon’s economic recovery and interfaith peace. The school’s superior, “Fr.” Maroun Moubarak, claims the visit demonstrates the Vatican’s “compassion” for Lebanon and urges youth to “deepen their faith.” The report frames the event as a historic moment akin to visits by earlier antipopes Benedict XVI and John Paul II, omitting any doctrinal substance in favor of sentimental appeals to unity.
Usurpation of Papal Authority and Violation of Divine Law
The very premise of this spectacle—treating the conciliar sect’s figurehead as a legitimate pontiff—constitutes a grave violation of Catholic ecclesiology. As St. Robert Bellarmine definitively teaches in De Romano Pontifice: “A manifest heretic is ipso facto deposed from office” without need of ecclesiastical declaration. The “Vatican” apparatus promoting this visit has openly espoused heresies condemned by Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864), particularly its endorsement of religious indifferentism (Errors 15-18, 77-79) and rejection of Christ’s Social Kingship (Error 39).
Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) establishes that Christ’s reign extends over “not only Catholic nations… but all non-Christians”, demanding their subjugation to His law. By contrast, Leo XIV’s planned prayer at the tomb of “St.” Charbel—a Maronite monk canonized by John Paul II’s invalid process—exemplifies the conciliar sect’s syncretistic paganism. True Catholics recognize that post-1958 “canonizations” lack any authority, as the usurpers have severed themselves from the Church’s magisterial continuity.
Naturalism Replacing Supernatural Faith
The students’ letters—begging for economic recovery while ignoring Lebanon’s spiritual apostasy—reveal the conciliar sect’s complete inversion of Catholic priorities. When Makarios Osta requests leaders who “love their country” rather than leaders who submit to Christ the King, he echoes the Masonic ideal of patriotic virtue detached from divine law. Similarly, Cassandra Katerji’s promise to “rebuild Lebanon’s moral strength” through interfaith “peace” directly contravenes Pius XI’s condemnation of false ecumenism:
“That false opinion which considers all religions to be more or less good and praiseworthy… is altogether contrary to the truth.” (Mortalium Animos, 1928)
Nowhere does the article mention Confession, grace, or the Four Last Things—the very omissions denounced by Pius X in Lamentabili Sane (1907) as hallmarks of Modernism. The school’s “spiritual preparation” reduces the Faith to emotional workshops and decorative posters, abandoning the sine qua non of Catholic education: forming souls to avoid hell through adherence to immutable doctrine.
Sacrilegious Simulation of Catholic Practices
The report’s reference to “daily Masses” for the visit’s success constitutes a blasphemous farce. Since Paul VI’s invalid promulgation of the Novus Ordo in 1969, no conciliar sect “priest”—including Moubarak—has possessed valid Holy Orders. As Pius XII’s Sacramentum Ordinis (1947) dogmatically defined, the true priesthood requires proper form, matter, and intention. The sect’s illicit rites, performed by “priests” ordained with defective rites post-1968, cannot confect the Eucharist nor offer the True Sacrifice.
Exploitation of Youth for Apostasy
Most grievously, the conciliar sect weaponizes children’s innocence to normalize its apostasy. By having students address Leo XIV as “Your Holiness”—a title reserved for legitimate pontiffs—the school commits formal cooperation in heresy. Canon 2314 of the 1917 Code automatically excommunicates those who “adhere to heretics or schismatics.” The article’s glowing portrayal of Chris Abi Hanna inviting the antipope to taste Lebanese food exemplifies how the sect reduces the papacy to a celebrity spectacle, erasing its divine foundation as Christ’s Vicar.
Pius X’s Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907) precisely anticipated this manipulation:
“Modernists excel in exploiting the tender age of youth… injecting their poisons into the impressionable hearts of the young.”
True Catholic education would warn students that attending this usurper’s events risks sacrilege and endangering their immortal souls. Instead, Moubarak promises to “translate [Leo’s] words into concrete commitments”—guaranteeing further corruption of youth through modernist heresies.
Omission of Divine Judgment Upon Apostate Lebanon
Lebanon’s economic collapse—which students beg Leo XIV to alleviate—is not mere misfortune but God’s punishment for the nation’s abandonment of Catholicism. As the Council of Trent (Session XIV) teaches, temporal calamities frequently manifest divine wrath against persistent sin. Yet the conciliar sect replaces calls for repentance with Marxist analyses of “financial recovery,” ignoring Lebanon’s embrace of Islamism, Freemasonry, and moral degeneracy.
Rita Tahtouh’s poetic comparison of Lebanese Christians to “cedars of God” rings hollow when her school teaches communion with a sect that denies Christ’s exclusive mediation. Until Lebanon returns to the integral Faith professed before Vatican II, no economic program can save it—only divine chastisement awaits.
