Apostolic Visit to Beirut Blast Site Masks Abandonment of Divine Justice
The VaticanNews portal (December 2, 2025) reports that antipope Leo XIV prayed at the site of the 2020 Beirut port explosion, laying a wreath and meeting families demanding earthly justice for the 236 killed and 7,000 wounded. The article emphasizes the unresolved investigation due to political interference, quoting Prime Minister Nawaf Salam’s greeting of the antipope and noting judge Tarek Bitar’s stalled inquiry. This spectacle of faux compassion epitomizes the conciliar sect’s substitution of Catholic eschatology with secular humanitarianism.
Naturalistic Rituals Replace Sacramental Economy of Grace
The silent prayer and wreath-laying ceremony at the blast site constitute a sacrilegious parody of Catholic devotion. True Catholic piety demands oratio (prayer) directed to God for the souls of the deceased, imploring misericordia Dei (mercy of God) and offering the Most Holy Sacrifice for their eternal rest. Instead, the antipope engaged in a secular memorial ritual devoid of:
any reference to the Four Last Things (death, judgment, Heaven, Hell), the necessity of penance for sins that may have contributed to the disaster, or the propitiatory power of Christ’s sacrifice.
Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) condemns such naturalism: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony.” By reducing the Church’s mission to political advocacy, the conciliar sect denies the Kingship of Christ over Lebanon’s laws and institutions.
Omission of Lebanon’s Apostasy as Root Cause
The article’s focus on “rule of law” and “accountability” ignores Lebanon’s systemic rejection of Regnum Christi (the Kingdom of Christ). The 1926 Lebanese Constitution enshrines Islamic sharia for Muslims (Article 9) while permitting blasphemy against Christ through state recognition of false religions. The Syllabus of Errors (1864) explicitly condemns this error:
“Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true” (Condemned Proposition 15).
True justice requires Lebanon’s submission to Christ the King, not empty demands for bureaucratic transparency. The blast’s spiritual cause—a nation abandoning its Catholic heritage for Masonic pluralism—remains unaddressed.
Exploiting Suffering to Legitimize the Conciliar Sect
The theatrics of antipope Leo XIV “holding back tears” while meeting grieving families serve to manufacture emotional legitimacy for the Vatican II sect. This mirrors the Modernist strategy condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (1907):
“The Church listening cooperates in such a way with the Church teaching in defining truths of faith, that the Church teaching should only approve the common opinions of the Church listening” (Condemned Proposition 6).
By positioning the antipope as a “consoler” rather than a successor to the Apostles tasked with anathema sit (pronouncing condemnation), the article advances the heresy that the Church derives authority from human sentiment rather than divine mandate.
False Ecumenism With Apostate Authorities
Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, who welcomed the antipope, oversees a regime that permits abortion via Article 539 of the Penal Code and fails to criminalize public blasphemy. St. Pius X’s Vehementer Nos (1906) declares:
“The State which recognizes the Church as superior… must conform its laws to her doctrine and institutions.”
The antipope’s fraternization with Salam constitutes formal cooperation with evil (cf. 2 John 1:11) and betrays the martyrs of Lebanon’s once-flourishing Catholic past.
Conclusion: Justice Without Christ Is Demonic Parody
The families’ quest for “truth and accountability” remains diabolically incomplete without acknowledgment that all temporal authority flows from Christ the King. Pius XI’s Quas Primas warns:
“Nations will be reminded by the annual celebration of this feast that not only private individuals but also rulers and princes are bound to give public honor and obedience to Christ.”
Until Lebanon abolishes constitutional apostasy and its false shepherds demand conversion to the One True Faith, such disasters will multiply as divine chastisements.
