Apostolic Throne’s Scandalous Mosque Visit Betrays Christ’s Kingship
The “Vatican News” portal (November 29, 2025) reports that antipope Leo XIV visited Istanbul’s Sultan Ahmed Mosque, framing this act as a “gesture of respect towards the Islamic world” and “fraternity with Muslims.” The article emphasizes architectural details while whitewashing the mosque’s construction on the ruins of Constantinople’s Grand Palace – a monument to Islam’s conquest of Christian civilization. Notably absent is any mention of Hagia Sophia’s 2020 reconversion into a mosque, a deliberate omission exposing the “conciliar sect’s” complicity in erasing Christian memory.
Betrayal of Christ’s Universal Kingship
The mosque visit constitutes formal cooperation with false worship, violating the First Commandment’s absolute prohibition: “Thou shalt not have strange gods before me” (Exodus 20:3). Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) dogmatically declares: “Nations must be reminded that not only private individuals but also rulers and princes are bound to give public honor and obedience to Christ”. By treating a mosque as spiritually equivalent to Catholic churches, the antipope denies Dominus Iesus (John 14:6) – the foundational truth that Christ alone is “the way, the truth, and the life.”
“The pope experienced the visit… with deep respect for the place and for the faith of those who gather there in prayer”
This statement constitutes religious indifferentism, condemned by Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos (1832) as “that absurd and erroneous proposition which claims that liberty of conscience must be maintained for everyone.” Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864) explicitly rejects the notion that “man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation” (Proposition 16).
Continuity in Apostasy
The article boasts of “continuity in building bridges of interreligious dialogue” through mosque visits by antipopes Benedict XVI and Francis. This confirms the systemic apostasy of the conciliar sect, which implements Vatican II’s heretical Nostra Aetate declaration. Contrast this with Pope St. Pius X’s condemnation: “They want the Church to… show respect for their erroneous doctrines… to such an extent as to put no obstacles in their way” (Pascendi Dominici Gregis, 39).
Silence Speaks Louder Than Words
The deliberate omission of Hagia Sophia – reconsecrated as a mosque in 2020 – reveals the “conciliar sect’s” cowardice in confronting Islamic persecution. Compare this with Pius XI’s uncompromising stance: “When nations have denied or rejected the sovereignty of Christ… they have invariably gone to decay and ruin” (Quas Primas). The article’s architectural fetishism (“21 thousand turquoise ceramic tiles“) obscures the mosque’s origin as a monument to Islamic conquest, erected where Byzantine emperors once governed Christendom.
Tactical Deception Exposed
While antipope Leo refused explicit prayer, his “silent reflection” constitutes implicit participation in Islamic worship. St. Thomas Aquinas teaches: “If anyone were to say a prayer that might be taken in a good sense but which the pagans use in a wrong sense, he would not seem to intend approval of their error… But if the words contain a false meaning in which they are usually employed by unbelievers, then he who pronounces them… commits a sin of superstition” (Summa Theologiae II-II, q.94, a.1). By refusing to condemn Mohammedanism as Pius II did in Ecclesiam Christi (1459), this act becomes cooperation with heresy.
Conclusion: Eclipse of the Supernatural
The entire spectacle reduces religion to naturalistic “fraternity” while erasing the sine qua non of Catholic mission: conversion of infidels. As the Holy Office decreed under Pius XII (1949): “The Church… cannot proceed in a purely negative way… To the Moslems she must bear witness to the Christian faith and life.” This mosque visit inverts the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19), sacralizing false worship while abandoning Christ’s command to “make disciples of all nations.” It confirms the conciliar sect as the “abomination of desolation” (Daniel 9:27) standing where it ought not.
