Syncretic Spectacle at the Spanish Steps: Conciliar Sect’s Marian Mimicry Exposed
The VaticanNews portal (December 3, 2025) reports that antipope Leo XIV will participate in the annual “homage” to a statue of the Virgin Mary near Rome’s Spanish Steps on December 8, continuing the modernist tradition begun by previous antipopes. The event involves floral offerings by fire brigades, musical performances, and ecumenical participation including the Sovereign Order of Malta. The portal emphasizes this as continuation of “tradition and devotion,” particularly noting last year’s “entrustment” of the Jubilee to Mary by antipope Francis.
Naturalistic Ritualism Replacing True Devotion
The described ceremony constitutes pure naturalism devoid of supernatural intent. The focus on floral offerings by civil organizations reduces Marian devotion to pagan nature worship, directly contradicting Pope Pius XI’s warning: “When God and Jesus Christ are removed from laws and states… the entire human society must be shaken” (Encyclical Quas Primas). The 12-meter statue’s prominence evokes Babylonian column worship condemned in Scripture (Daniel 3:1-7), while fire brigade acrobatics transform sacramental devotion into circus spectacle.
No mention exists of the essential elements of authentic Marian piety: recitation of the Rosary, Eucharistic reparation, or the Sub Tuum Praesidium prayer. Instead, we find:
“the Vatican Gendarmerie band will perform a hymn to the Madonna… workers from several Roman companies” attend a Mass focused on “social and labour pastoral care.”
This reduction of the Theotokos to social worker mascot constitutes blasphemy against her mediatrix role (Pius IX, Ineffabilis Deus).
Theological Omissions Revealing Conciliar Apostasy
The article’s silence on doctrinal content speaks volumes. Not once does it reference:
- The dogmatic definition of Immaculate Conception (Pius IX, 1854)
- Mary’s singular privilege as “conceived without stain of original sin”
- Her prophetic role as Victrix Haereticorum (Vanquisher of Heresies) against modern errors
Instead, we find ecumenical contamination through participation of:
- The Sovereign Order of Malta – long compromised by Masonic infiltration
- Legio Mariae – postconciliar movement promoting false apparitions
- Don Gnocchi Foundation – known for secularized “charity” divorced from conversion
This aligns with the Masonic strategy documented in the Syllabus of Errors: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” (Condemned Proposition 80). The “novena” described bears no resemblance to true Catholic novenas, replacing doctrinal instruction with ecumenical “singing of various litanies.”
Masonic Symbolism in Ritual Timing and Participation
The event’s choreography reveals occult patterning:
| Element | Occult Significance |
|---|---|
| Fire brigade acrobatics at 7AM | Ritualistic elevation mimicking sun worship |
| Antipope’s appearance at 4PM | Solar hour of decline, symbolizing church’s eclipse |
| 12-meter column | Sacred number 12 profaned |
The involvement of multiple cardinals during the “novena” mirrors the 33-degree system of Scottish Rite Freemasonry. As documented in Lamentabili Sane Exitu, such syncretism proves the conciliar sect has become “incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics” (Proposition 63).
Contrast With True Marian Devotion
Authentic veneration of the Immaculate Conception requires:
“complete submission to the divine will” and “renunciation of earthly riches” (Pius XI, Quas Primas)
not civic pageantry. The true Church’s tradition involves:
- The Tota Pulchra Es antiphon emphasizing Marian purity
- Consecration to Mary’s Immaculate Heart as prescribed at Fatima*
- Reparation for blasphemies against her prerogatives
*(Note: While Fatima apparitions are rejected as Masonic operations, the requested consecration formula reflects perennial doctrine on Marian mediation)
Symptomatic of Conciliar Apostasy
This spectacle exemplifies three heresies condemned in Lamentabili Sane Exitu:
- Revelation as human self-awareness (Proposition 20): Reducing Mary to civic symbol
- Dogmas as evolving interpretations (Proposition 22): Omitting defined doctrine
- Worship adapted to modern progress (Proposition 64): Substituting liturgy with entertainment
The absence of any call to conversion or mention of Mary’s Fiat against heresy proves this ritual exists to “legitimize dialogue with schismatic Orthodoxy” and other false religions (False Fatima Apparitions file). As Pius IX declared: “The children of the Christian and Catholic Church are divided amongst themselves about the compatibility of the temporal with the spiritual power” (Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 75).
Conclusion: Idolatry Disguised as Piety
This annual pantomime constitutes not devotion but public sacrilege. By equating Marian veneration with civic ritual, the conciliar sect fulfills Psalm 95:5 – “All the gods of the Gentiles are devils.” True Catholics must:
- Recite the Rosary in reparation
- Renounce all participation in neo-church ceremonies
- Invoke Mary’s true title: Turris Davidica contra omnes haereses (Tower of David against all heresies)
As the Church teaches through Pope Pius IX: “The Roman Pontiff cannot, and ought not to, reconcile himself with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” (Syllabus of Errors, Condemned Proposition 80). This Roman spectacle confirms the occupying structure in Vatican as synagogue of Satan (Apocalypse 2:9).
