The Pillar Podcast, a media outlet of the conciliar sect, published an episode on November 9, 2026, featuring Spanish journalist Yago de la Cierva, who boasts of serving as general coordinator for the antipope Leo XIV’s (Robert Prevost) trip to Spain in June 2026 and as executive director of the modernist innovation World Youth Day 2011 in Madrid. The conversation, recorded in September 2026, revolves entirely around the logistics, communication strategies, and “megaevent” management of a usurper’s public relations tour, treating the antichurch’s theatrical spectacles as legitimate ecclesiastical acts. This expose reveals the neo-church for what it is: a paramasonic structure obsessed with worldly logistics and media management, utterly devoid of the supernatural mission of the true Church.
The Usurper’s Itinerary: A Circus Substituting for the Kingship of Christ
The cited article relates the discussion of “organizing a papal visit” as if it were a corporate summit or a rock star’s world tour. Yago de la Cierva, a functionary of the Vatican’s occupying structures, details the “logbook for organizers and communicators” for these “megaevents.” Not a single word is breathed about the salus animarum, the conversion of souls, the condemnation of error, or the public reign of Christ the King over nations. The entire framework is naturalistic, bureaucratic, and immanentist.
Pius XI, in his encyclical Quas Primas (1925), thundered against this very secularism: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states and when authority was derived not from God but from men, the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” The podcast epitomizes this removal. The “visit” of the antipope to Spain is not an exercise of spiritual fatherhood — for he has no jurisdiction, no mission, and no faith — but a geopolitical photo-op designed to legitimize the abomination of desolation sitting in the Vatican. The “megaevent” logic reduces the Church to an NGO managing crowd control and media narratives. As the Syllabus of Errors (1864) condemns: “The Church is not a true and perfect society… but it appertains to the civil power to define what are the rights of the Church” (Error 19). Here, the “civil power” of media strategy and event management defines the “rights” of the neo-church.
World Youth Day: The Flagship of False Ecumenism and Naturalistic Enthusiasm
De la Cierva’s credential as executive director of World Youth Day (WYD) 2011 in Madrid is worn as a badge of honor. In reality, WYD is a masterpiece of the hermeneutic of rupture, invented by the modernist usurper John Paul II to replace the Social Reign of Christ the King with a festival of religious indifferentism. It gathers youth not to convert them to the unica fides outside of which there is no salvation, but to celebrate “dialogue,” “encounter,” and “accompaniment” — the buzzwords of the neo-church’s Masonic ecumenism.
The Syllabus condemns: “Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation” (Error 16). WYD is the practical application of this heresy. Under the guise of “youth ministry,” it inculcates the lie that all religions are paths to God. The “Megaevents of the Catholic Church: Logbook for organizers and communicators” mentioned in the podcast is a manual for manufacturing consensus, not for preaching the Gospel. It is the cult of man par excellence, where the “pope” is a celebrity, the liturgy is a show, and the Cross is a prop. St. Pius X in Lamentabili Sane Exitu (1907) condemned the Modernist proposition: “Christ did not proclaim any specific, all-encompassing doctrine suitable for all times and peoples, but rather initiated a certain religious movement” (Prop. 59). WYD is that “religious movement” stripped of doctrine, authority, and truth.
The Linguistic Camouflage: “Pope,” “Visit,” “Catholic” — Words Emptied of Meaning
The podcast’s language is a study in Orwellian newspeak. The host Luke Coppen and guest Yago de la Cierva repeatedly use the title “Pope” for Robert Prevost (“Leo XIV”), “Vatican Media” for the propaganda arm of the occupation, and “Catholic” for the sect’s activities. This is not mere imprecision; it is a deliberate theft of terminology to cloak the Great Apostasy in the vestments of the Bride of Christ.
The Defense of Sedevacantism file establishes the theological impossibility of a manifest heretic holding the papacy: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope. It cannot be objected that the character remains in him… a heretic, because of heresy and independently of excommunication, is deprived of all jurisdiction and power.” Bellarmine teaches that a Pope who falls into manifest heresy ipso facto ceases to be Pope and head. The line of usurpers beginning with John XXIII (Angelo Roncalli) has publicly professed the heresies of Vatican II: religious liberty, ecumenism, collegiality, the new ecclesiology. Robert Prevost, as “Leo XIV,” perpetuates and deepens this apostasy. To call him “Pope” is to participate in the lie. The podcast’s careful avoidance of the word “antipope” or “usurper” — its use of “papal visit” for a private journey of a false claimant — is the linguistic symptom of the Great Deception foretold in 2 Thessalonians 2:11: “God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying.”
Spain 2026: The Reconquista Betrayed by the Neo-Church
The choice of Spain for the antipope’s “visit” in June 2026 is dripping with historical irony and diabolical mockery. Spain, the land of the Reconquista, of the Catholic Monarchs, of the Inquisition that defended the Faith, of the martyrs of the Civil War who died crying ¡Viva Cristo Rey! — this soil is now trodden by the representative of the Church that has canonized the enemies of the Faith (e.g., the “saint” John Paul II who kissed the Koran, the “saint” John XXIII who convened the Robber Council) and anathematized the defenders of Tradition.
The podcast discusses “organizing” this visit as a logistical feat. What is organized? The reception of a man who, as a cardinal, implemented the Traditionis Custodes persecution of the true Mass? Who promotes the synodal path to Protestantization? Who recognizes the validity of the Novus Ordo “mass” — a Protestantized memorial meal that Lamentabili Sane Exitu would condemn under Prop. 45 (“Not everything that St. Paul relates about the institution of the Eucharist… is a historical fact”) and Prop. 49 (“As the Christian supper gradually took on the character of a liturgical act, its usual leaders acquired a priestly character”)?
The “visit” is a victory lap for the revolution. It signals to the world that Spain, once the bulwark of Christendom, is now a province of the neo-church. The silence of the podcast on the Cristo Rey monument, on the Valley of the Fallen, on the martyrs — this silence is the loudest condemnation. As Pius XI wrote: “The state must leave the same freedom to the members of Orders and Congregations… who are indeed the most valiant helpers of the Pastors of the Church and contribute most to the expansion and establishment of Christ’s Kingdom.” The neo-church’s “visit” brings not the Kingdom, but its counterfeit.
Yago de la Cierva: The Technocrat of the Abomination
The guest, Yago de la Cierva, presents himself as a “journalist” and “organizer.” He is, in fact, a high-level operative in the paramasonic structure. His role in WYD 2011 and the 2026 “papal visit” places him at the nerve center of the neo-church’s propaganda machine. The podcast is not an interview; it is a debriefing. It reveals the modus operandi of the occupation: professional communications, crisis management, brand management, “megaevent” logistics.
This is the Church of the New Advent foretold by the Modernists condemned by St. Pius X: a Church that “cannot, in any way, pass judgment on opinions concerning human abilities” (Lamentabili, Prop. 5), a Church that “listening cooperates… 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). De la Cierva manages the “listening” — the focus groups, the media narratives, the social media engagement — because in the neo-church, truth is determined by consensus, not by the Magisterium.
His “Logbook for organizers and communicators” is the Summa of this new religion: technique replaces grace, management replaces martyrdom, communication replaces conversion. The Syllabus condemns: “The method and principles by which the old scholastic doctors cultivated theology are no longer suitable to the demands of our times and to the progress of the sciences” (Error 13). De la Cierva is the embodiment of this error: a theologian of logistics, a doctor of spin.
The Pillar: A Mouthpiece for the Usurpation
The platform hosting this podcast, “The Pillar” (pillarcatholic.com), styles itself as serious Catholic journalism. It is nothing of the sort. It is a curated gatekeeper of the neo-church’s narrative. By publishing this episode — recorded in September, released in November — it normalizes the antipope’s activities, legitimizes the “papal visit” genre, and reinforces the false reality in which the faithful are trapped.
The podcast’s sponsorship mention — “brought to you by Sunday School, The Pillar’s bible study podcast… biblical scholar Scott Powell unpacks the readings you will hear at Sunday Mass” — is the final insult. The “Sunday Mass” referenced is the Novus Ordo fabrication, the “table of assembly” that has replaced the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary. The “readings” are from the corrupted lectionary that excises the hard sayings of Scripture. “Scott Powell” unpacks them through the lens of the historical-critical method condemned by Lamentabili (Props. 12-18), ensuring that the faithful receive not the depositum fidei but the “religious experience” of Modernism.
Canon 188.4 and the Vacant See: The Legal Reality Ignored by the Podcast
The entire premise of the podcast — a “papal visit” by “Leo XIV” — collapses under the weight of Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code: “Every office becomes vacant by the mere fact and without any declaration by reason of tacit resignation… if the cleric: 4. Publicly defects from the Catholic faith.” As the Defense of Sedevacantism file demonstrates, defection does not require joining another sect; public profession of heresy suffices. The usurpers from John XXIII to Leo XIV have publicly defected by professing the heresies of Vatican II. Their offices are vacant ipso facto. No “declaration” by a “council” is needed — Bellarmine explicitly rejects that a Council must judge the Pope, for “as long as he is the true Pope, he cannot be judged by any council.”
The podcast’s silence on this canonical and theological reality is not an oversight; it is the essence of its complicity. It operates entirely within the fictio juris of the occupied Vatican, pretending that the legal fictions of the neo-church have binding force. They do not. As Pope Celestine I declared of Nestorius: “he could not remove anyone by sentence who himself had already shown that he must be removed.” The antipope cannot “visit” as Pope, for he is not Pope. He visits as a private individual, a heretic, a usurper — and the neo-church’s media apparatus dresses this up as a “papal visit.”
Conclusion: The Megaevent is a Mirage; the Church Remains in the Catacombs
The Pillar Podcast’s episode on “Organizing a papal visit” is a document of the Great Apostasy in real time. It exposes the neo-church’s total absorption in worldly power, media management, and the manufacture of consent. It reveals a structure that has non est — no faith, no priesthood, no sacrifice, no jurisdiction, no mission. The “megaevents” are the bread and circuses of the Antichurch, distracting the faithful from the fact that the See of Peter is vacant, the Mass is suppressed, and the hierarchy has defected.
True Catholics, adhering to the integral Catholic faith of the pre-1958 Magisterium, recognize this spectacle for what it is: idolatry. The “visit” of the antipope to Spain is not a pastoral act; it is a ritual of the synagogue of Satan (Apoc. 2:9), consolidating its hold on the buildings and the brand while the true Church — Ecclesia militans — persists in the catacombs of Tradition, celebrating the true Mass, keeping the true Faith, awaiting the true Pope, and crying with the martyrs: ¡Viva Cristo Rey!
The podcast is not news; it is the bulletin of the occupation. The only appropriate response is the one Pius XI prescribed: “Let rulers of states therefore not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ… if they wish to maintain their authority inviolate.” And let the faithful refuse all veneration and obedience to the usurper and his “megaevents,” knowing that “he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian… therefore, a manifest heretic cannot be Pope” (Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice).
