Vatican News portal reports on the December 8, 2025 celebration of the Immaculate Conception, quoting antipopes from John XXIII to Leo XIV (Francis) while omitting their systematic destruction of Marian devotion. The article attempts to create false continuity between Pius IX’s 1854 dogma and the conciliar sect’s blasphemous innovations.
Illegitimate Usurpers Invoke Catholic Dogma to Mask Apostasy
The sacrilegious spectacle of antipopes laying roses before Our Lady’s statue parallels Judas kissing Christ in Gethsemane. When the article claims “Pope Leo XIV will follow in the footsteps of his predecessors“, it commits historical revisionism. These Vatican II usurpers have no legitimate succession, their “magisterium” constituting what St. Pius X called “the synthesis of all heresies” (Pascendi Dominici Gregis, 39). The true Church recognizes no antipope since Pius XII’s death in 1958.
John XXIII’s 1958 visit initiated the conciliar revolution that would produce the blasphemous document Lumen Gentium, reducing Mary to “a preeminent member of the Church” (LG 53) rather than Mediatrix of All Graces. His successor Paul VI betrayed his own 1966 promise to maintain Marian devotion “according to the theological criteria of the Council” – criteria which gutted the munus triplex of Christ’s Kingship by promoting false ecumenism and religious liberty condemned by Pius IX (Syllabus of Errors, 15-17,77-79).
Modernist Subversion of Marian Doctrine Through Ambiguous Language
Antipope Benedict XVI’s 2008 statement exemplifies conciliar doublespeak:
“In Mary Immaculate we contemplate the reflection of the Beauty that saves the world… In Mary this beauty is wholly pure, humble, free from every pride and presumption.”
This emotionalist rhetoric replaces Pius IX’s doctrinal precision with subjectivist sentimentality. Ineffabilis Deus dogmatically defines Mary’s preservation from original sin “by a singular grace and privilege of Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ“, not some nebulous “beauty”. Modernism replaces defined truths with existential experiences as condemned in Lamentabili Sane (22,25,65).
Leo XIV’s October 2025 homily proves the conciliar sect’s Christological inversion: “Mary’s path is behind Jesus, and Jesus’ path leads toward every human being.” This reverses the immutable order – Christ the King demands all nations submit to His social reign (Quas Primas), while Mary’s singular role as Co-Redemptrix flows from her divine maternity. The article’s omission of Mary’s mediation exposes the neo-modernist denial of her unique participation in the economy of salvation.
Conciliar Assault on the Immaculate’s Mediation
Pius XII’s Munificentissimus Deus (1950) dogmatized the Assumption as the logical consequence of the Immaculate Conception: “By an entirely unique privilege, she conquered sin with her immaculate conception; therefore she was not subject to the law of remaining in the corruption of the tomb.” The conciliar antipopes systematically dismantled this coherence. John Paul II’s 1978 “entrustment” ceremony constituted sacrilegious theater from a man who kissed Korans and encouraged pagan worship at Assisi.
The article’s reference to Vatican II’s “theological criteria” reveals the rot: The Council’s Marian minimalism (Lumen Gentium Chapter VIII) demoted Our Lady from Queen Mother to “type of the Church” (LG 63), facilitating the blasphemous “separated brethren” ecclesiology. True Catholics recognize with St. Louis de Montfort that “Mary is the safest, easiest, shortest and most perfect way of approaching Jesus” – a truth the conciliar sect buries under its false irenicism.
Omission of Sacramental Warnings and True Devotion
Conspicuously absent is any caution against receiving “Communion” in post-conciliar structures where valid priests are as rare as the four-leaf clover. The Novus Ordo’s “Eucharistic prayers” constitute what Archbishop Lefebvre called “bastard sacraments” – when celebrated by invalidly “ordained” ministers, they’re pure simulation. The article’s silence on this sacrilege imitates the conciliar sect’s suppression of Pope Leo XIII’s condemnation of Anglican orders (Apostolicae Curae).
True devotion to the Immaculate demands rejection of the Vatican II sect. As St. Maximilian Kolbe taught before his pre-conciliar martyrdom: “The Immaculate alone has from God the promise of victory over Satan. She seeks souls who will consecrate themselves entirely to her…to become instruments in her hands.” This militancy contradicts the conciliar “accompaniment” heresy promoted by Leo XIV.
