Apostate “Pope” Exploits Lebanese Hospital for Modernist Agenda
The VaticanNews portal (December 1, 2025) reports on antipope Leo XIV’s planned visit to the Psychiatric Hospital of the Cross in Lebanon, operated by the Franciscan Sisters of the Cross. Sister Mary Youssef describes this event as “a miracle” and “a gift from Abouna Yaacoub” (Blessed Jacques Haddad), founder of their congregation. The article emphasizes the hospital’s work with mentally ill patients, drug addicts, and abandoned persons while highlighting the sisters’ excitement about the antipope’s visit. It concludes with hopes for Jacques Haddad’s canonization by the conciliar sect.
Reduction of the Church’s Mission to Naturalistic Humanism
The article exemplifies the conciliar sect’s complete inversion of ecclesiastical priorities. Where the Magisterium perennis teaches that “the Church has no other reason for existence than to extend over the earth the Kingdom of Christ and make all men partakers of His saving Redemption” (Pius XI, Quas Primas), these sisters reduce Catholicism to social work devoid of supernatural purpose. Their declared charism as “the heart and hands of God among the people” constitutes a blasphemous anthropocentric distortion.
Nowhere does the article mention administering sacraments to patients or concern for their spiritual state. The sisters’ boast of caring for “those who cannot be cared for by anyone else” exposes their Pelagian mentality, forgetting that nisi Dominus aedificaverit domum, in vanum laboraverunt qui aedificant eam (Psalm 127:1 – “Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it”). This purely humanitarian operation manifests the condemned error: “Charity suffices without faith for salvation” (Syllabus of Errors, Pius IX, Proposition 15).
False Authority Celebrated as “Miracle”
Sister Youssef’s description of the antipope’s visit as “truly a miracle” constitutes sacrilege against the Holy Ghost. The conciliar antipopes have no authority under divine law, as “a manifest heretic cannot be Pope” (St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice). Their usurpation of Petrine authority fulfills St. Paul’s warning about “the man of sin… sitting in the temple of God, showing himself as if he were God” (2 Thess 2:3-4).
The sisters’ excitement – from “the 35-year-old to the 105-year-old” – demonstrates their complete absorption into the conciliar sect’s false ecclesiology. Their statement that “the Church values me so much” tragically confuses the counterfeit “church of accompaniment” with the Bride of Christ. True Catholics weep seeing religious embrace an antipope whose Dilexi te exhortation promotes indifferentism condemned by Mortalium Animos (Pius XI).
Theological Subversion in “Works of Mercy”
While Catholic tradition distinguishes spiritual and corporal works of mercy, these sisters exclusively perform the latter while ignoring the former. Their hospital becomes “their home” for patients, creating a purely earthly refuge without directing souls toward eternal salvation. This fulfills the modernist heresy condemned in Lamentabili Sane: “The Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics because it steadfastly adheres to its views, which cannot be reconciled with modern progress” (Proposition 63).
The article’s repeated emphasis on serving all “regardless of religion or nationality” directly contradicts the dogma “Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus” and Pius IX’s condemnation of religious indifferentism (Syllabus, Proposition 16). True Catholic charity always seeks the conversion of non-Catholics, not mere material comfort.
Invalid Canonization of Dubious “Blessed”
The sisters’ hope for Jacques Haddad’s canonization by the conciliar sect carries no theological weight. Post-1958 “beatifications” and “canonizations” lack validity, as antipopes possess no authority to bind the faithful. Moreover, Haddad’s alleged miracles remain suspect when judged by traditional criteria. The article admits his institutions survive “despite the economic crisis” – a natural occurrence misrepresented as supernatural.
This follows the conciliar pattern of manufacturing “saints” who advance modernist agendas rather than defend Catholic orthodoxy. Unlike true saints who suffered persecution for defending doctrine – like St. Athanasius or St. Pius X – Haddad’s legacy promotes the social gospel condemned by Pius XI in Quadragesimo Anno.
Omission of Supernatural Realities
The gravest indictment lies in what the article excludes:
1. No mention of sacramental confession for drug addicts
2. No reference to Last Rites for dying patients
3. No concern for patients’ reception of valid sacraments
4. No distinction between Catholic and non-Catholic “spirituality”
This silence proves the sisters operate as secular NGOs rather than religious. Their focus on being “the hands of God” while ignoring souls constitutes the “cult of man” denounced in Pascendi. As St. Pius X warned: “The Modernists place the foundation of religious philosophy in that doctrine which is usually called Agnosticism” (Pascendi, 6).
The sisters’ motto – “in the one Christ we are one” – masks indifferentism, implying non-Catholics achieve unity with Christ without entering the Church. This directly opposes Pius XI’s teaching: “The Church alone is the repository of the truth and the means of salvation” (Mortalium Animos).
