The VaticanNews portal (December 7, 2025) reports that antipope Leo XIV used his Sunday Angelus to promote naturalized Advent spirituality, stating: “Let us put our thoughts and energy at the service of God who came not to reign over us, but rather to free us.” He further declared that the Second Vatican Council exemplifies how “the Church experienced” Christ’s “rebirth and renewal,” claiming this conciliar spirit is “renewed when we journey toward the Kingdom of God.” The antipope concluded by reducing Christian witness to being “a little light” through welcoming “Jesus, the shoot of a new world.”
Subversion of Eschatological Reality
The address commits fundamental category errors by divorcing Christ’s Kingship from His judicial authority. Contrary to Isaiah’s prophecy that “the government shall be upon his shoulder” (Is 9:6) and Pius XI’s definition that “Christ the Lord is King…because as the Word…He must have everything in common with the Father, and therefore also supreme and unlimited dominion” (Quas Primas), the antipope asserts God “came not to reign over us.” This directly contradicts Psalm 2: “I have set my king upon Sion, my holy mountain… Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron” (Ps 2:6,9).
The emphasis on “freeing” rather than reigning constitutes modernist anthropocentrism, replacing the regnum Christi with secular liberation theology. As Pius IX condemned in the Syllabus of Errors: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55). The antipope’s omission of Christ’s Social Kingship constitutes tacit approval of religious indifferentism.
Conciliar Poison in Advent Wrapping
By celebrating Vatican II as “rebirth and renewal,” the address commits apostasy against immutable doctrine. The Council’s documents directly contradict Catholic teaching, as seen in:
– Dignitatis Humanae promoting false religious liberty (condemned by Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos §14-15)
– Nostra Aetate fostering religious indifferentism (against Syllabus Error 16-18)
– Lumen Gentium undermining the Church’s visibility (against Pius XII’s Mystici Corporis)
St. Pius X’s Lamentabili explicitly condemned the evolutionary view that “Christian doctrine was initially Jewish, but through gradual development… became… universal” (Error 60). Yet antipope Leo XIV praises this conciliar revolution as “renewal,” demonstrating the modernist tenet that dogmas must evolve with human consciousness.
Theological Vacuum in “Kingdom” Rhetoric
The repeated references to “Kingdom of God” lack dogmatic substance, reducing eschatology to social activism. Pius XI established that Christ’s Kingdom encompasses “not only Catholic nations… but also all non-Christians” through His universal jurisdiction (Quas Primas). The antipope’s silence on the Social Reign of Christ the King constitutes implicit denial of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus.
John the Baptist’s cry “Repent!” (Mk 1:4) becomes stripped of its metanoia dimension – conversion from error to Catholic truth – and reduced to ethical improvement. As St. Robert Bellarmine taught, “A heretic is not a member [of the Church], therefore he cannot be the head” (De Romano Pontifice). The antipope’s call for “welcoming” Jesus as a mere “shoot” ignores the Judge who “will come to judge the living and the dead” (Apostles’ Creed).
Symptomatic Naturalization of Supernatural Order
The address culminates in pure naturalism: “The streetlights remind us that each of us can be a little light.” This abolishes the distinction between nature and grace, replacing sacramental efficacy with humanistic activism. Pius X’s Pascendi condemned modernists who “place in human conscience the whole and sole explanation of religious phenomena.”
The replacement of Advent’s Judex Crederis (“Thou art believed to be the Judge”) with ecological immanentism exposes the conciliar sect’s essence: a Masonic operation to dethrone Christ. As the False Fatima Apparitions file reveals: “The efficacy of Holy Mass is diminished in favor of spectacular acts.” The antipope’s theatrical Angelus performance – while true priests are persecuted for offering the Immemorial Mass – confirms this pattern.
Omission as Dogmatic Heresy
Critical silences prove doctrinal bankruptcy:
– No mention of Mary’s Immaculate Conception (December 8 being the following day)
– No call to return to Catholic social order under Christ the King
– No warning against receiving “sacraments” from conciliar ministers
– No distinction between true Church and conciliar counterfeit
As Pius XII taught: “The Mystical Body of Christ and the Catholic Church are one and the same thing” (Mystici Corporis §13). The antipope’s failure to proclaim this identity constitutes implicit schism.
The Second Vatican Council’s 60th anniversary serves not renewal but apostasy – the triumph of the “abomination of desolation” (Mt 24:15) foretold in Daniel’s prophecy. True Catholics must heed Pius XI’s warning: “When God and Jesus Christ are removed from laws and states… the entire human society had to be shaken” (Quas Primas).
