Apostate Vatican Leader’s Syncretistic Gesture in Istanbul
Vatican News portal (November 30, 2025) reports that antipope Robert Prevost (“Leo XIV”) prayed at the Armenian Apostolic Cathedral in Istanbul, praising Armenia’s “courageous Christian witness” while advocating a “dialogue of charity” between churches. The article celebrates the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea as inspiration for “restoring full communion” through “exchange of gifts” rather than what Prevost calls “absorption or domination.” The text promotes the Joint International Commission for Theological Dialogue with Oriental Orthodox Churches and venerates 12th-century Armenian Catholicos St. Nerses IV Shnorhali as model for ecumenism. This spectacle exemplifies the conciliar sect’s systematic apostasy from divine revelation.
Blasphemous Equivalence Between Christ’s Church and Schismatic Sects
The assertion that communion between Catholics and Oriental Orthodox must avoid “absorption or domination” constitutes direct heresy against the dogma of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors condemned the notion that “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Error 18), which Prevost extends to Oriental schismatics. Pius XI’s Mortalium Animos (1928) explicitly forbade Catholic participation in ecumenical gatherings, declaring: “The Apostolic See cannot on any terms take part in their assemblies, nor is it anyway lawful for Catholics either to support or to work for such enterprises.” Prevost’s “exchange of gifts” implies the Armenian Apostolic Church possesses legitimate sacramental graces despite its formal rejection of Chalcedonian Christology—a position condemned as “indifferentism” in Pius IX’s Quanta Cura (1864).
Perversion of Nicaean Legacy
The sacrilegious invocation of the First Council of Nicaea (325 AD) ignores how that very council established the principle of Roman supremacy through Canon VI, which confirmed Alexandria and Antioch’s jurisdictions “retaining the privileges of the Church in Rome.” St. Julius I’s letter to Eastern bishops (340 AD) proves Roman bishops already exercised appellate jurisdiction over Eastern churches. Prevost’s Nicaea commemoration deliberately obscures history to fabricate a false narrative of primitive “equality” between sees. The Council’s primary achievement—defining Christ’s divinity against Arianism—is perverted to legitimize modern Arians who deny Christ’s two natures in one hypostasis, as Armenians historically rejected Chalcedon (451 AD).
Canonization of Schism as Virtue
The veneration of Nerses IV Shnorhali—a schismatic 12th-century Armenian Catholicos—as inspiration for unity constitutes formal cooperation with heresy. St. Robert Bellarmine’s De Romano Pontifice (II.30) declares: “It is lawful for no one to judge the Pontiff, or even to summon him to judgment, because he is judged by God alone.” The Armenian Church’s persistent denial of papal jurisdiction places it outside Catholic unity, making any “joint commission” for dialogue intrinsically sinful. Pius XII’s Mystici Corporis Christi (1943) reaffirmed that Oriental dissidents “are in a state which though it is not undeserving of salvation, still lacks so many and such great heavenly helps that can be enjoyed only in the Catholic Church.” Prevost’s omission of this truth constitutes implicit denial of the Church’s unique mediatory role.
Omissions Exposing Modernist Apostasy
The article’s silence on three critical matters reveals its diabolical disorientation:
1. No mention of conversion: Not once does Prevost call Armenians to abandon schism and embrace Roman unity, violating Christ’s mandate to “make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19).
2. Sacramental nullity: Armenian “sacraments” lack validity due to defective form (invalid consecration prayers) and intention (rejection of Chalcedon), as confirmed by Leo XIII’s Orientalium Dignitas (1894). Prevost’s implied recognition of their sacraments constitutes apostasy.
3. Martyrdom distortion: While praising Armenian martyrs, Prevost omits that true martyrdom requires death in defense of Catholic truth (St. Augustine, City of God XIII.7), not merely suffering for ethnic identity.
Ecumenism as Masonic Subversion
Prevost’s actions implement the Masonic plan detailed in Alta Vendita documents calling for “a Pope according to our wants” who would embrace “religious indifferentism.” The 1884 Humanum Genus encyclical of Leo XIII warned that Freemasonry seeks to “destroy entirely the whole religious and social order based on Christian institutions” by promoting false ecumenism. The “joint theological dialogue” with Oriental Orthodox directly fulfills this goal, as Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani’s 1949 letter to Pius XII condemned ecumenism as “poisonous fruit” incompatible with Catholic faith.
Conclusion: Apostasy Crowned with Pagan Ritual
Prevost’s Istanbul spectacle completes the conciliar sect’s transformation into a globalist pseudo-religion. Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925) established Christ the King’s social reign as antidote to secularism, yet Prevost replaces this with pagan syncretism. As the true Church endures in catacombs, the Vatican occupiers enact Isaiah’s prophecy: “The faithful city has become a harlot” (Isaiah 1:21). Let faithful Catholics heed St. Paul’s warning: “Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord” (2 Corinthians 6:17).
