Neo-Church Exploits Martyrs to Mask Apostasy
Vatican News portal (December 6, 2025) reports on a message from antipope Leo XIV commemorating three priests killed in Peru in 1991—Alessandro Dordi, Michał Tomaszek, and Zbigniew Strzałkowski—whom the conciliar sect beatified in 2015. The article frames their deaths as martyrdom “in hatred of the faith” and praises their “ecclesial unity” and “service to the poor.” The message urges imitation of their “missionary dedication” and appeals to youth to join conciliar “missionary work.”
Illegitimate Beatification Renders “Witness” Null
The very premise of this “beatification” collapses under Quas Primas (Pius XI, 1925), which declares that “the Church of Christ, which has been divinely instituted for the sake of souls and of eternal salvation” alone holds jurisdiction. Since antipope Leo XIV and his predecessors lack apostolic authority (cum ex Apostolatus Officio, Paul IV), their decrees are canonically void. The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 1999) reserves beatifications to the Roman Pontiff—a title Bergoglio’s successors forfeit through heresy (St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice). To speak of their “universal devotion” is to promote sacrilege.
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Martyrdom
Nowhere does the article mention the martyrs’ fidelity to the lex orandi (law of worship) or their defense of Catholic doctrine against modernist corruption. Instead, their “pastoral charity” is reduced to social work:
“offering the sacraments, strengthening catechesis, and supporting works of charity amid contexts marked by poverty and violence.”
This echoes the condemned Modernist error that “the Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics” (Lamentabili Sane, 63). True martyrdom requires odium fidei (hatred of faith)—not merely political retaliation. The Shining Path targeted them as representatives of a foreign institution, not as confessors of immutable dogma.
False Ecumenism Masquerading as “Unity”
Antipope Leo XIV’s praise for their “diverse backgrounds” converging into “unified testimony” exposes the conciliar sect’s syncretism. Contrast this with Pius XI’s condemnation: “The teaching of the Catholic Church is hostile to the well-being and interests of society” (Syllabus of Errors, 40). Authentic Catholic unity flows from submission to the Una Vera Ecclesia, not sociological diversity. By omitting whether these priests celebrated the true Mass or rejected Vatican II’s heresies, the article implicitly condones their participation in the neo-church’s apostasy.
Missionary Call to Serve the Antichurch
Most pernicious is the appeal to youth to become “fidei donum missionaries”—a term coined by Pius XII to describe priests serving validly Catholic dioceses. Today, it means deploying agents of the conciliar revolution. The martyrs’ alleged “generosity” masks compliance with a structure that substitutes the Social Gospel for the Social Reign of Christ the King. As the Syllabus warns: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (80)—precisely the heresy these “martyrs” died without condemning.
Omission of the Four Last Things
The article’s silence on judgment, hell, or the need for conversion reveals its naturalistic core. No mention is made of whether these priests warned their flock against the conciliar sect’s errors or administered valid sacraments. Their “service to the poor” aligns with Bergoglio’s “Church of the poor” heresy, condemned by Pius X: “The Church listening cooperates with the Church teaching… stages in the evolution of Christian consciousness” (Lamentabili, 6, 54). True missionaries like St. Francis Xavier sought to “make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19)—not to build NGOs.
Conclusion: Martyrs of Modernism, Not Faith
These priests died as victims of communist brutality, but their beatification by the conciliar sect exploits their deaths to legitimize apostasy. Where they should have denounced the Shining Path’s Godless ideology, the article reduces their struggle to “poverty and violence”—ignoring Peru’s deeper crisis of faith. Until their adherence to pre-1958 doctrine is verified, their “witness” remains suspect. Antipope Leo XIV’s message is but another brick in the neo-church’s façade of piety, concealing its “ferocious war on the Church” (Syllabus, concluding section).
