Vatican’s Christmas Message Reduces Incarnation to Humanistic Labor Theology
Vatican News portal (December 22, 2025) reports that antipope Robert Prevost (“Leo XIV”) addressed employees of the conciliar sect’s bureaucratic apparatus, urging them to adopt “simplicity and humility” as the “style of the Church.” The article describes Prevost’s attempt to sacralize secular labor through a distorted interpretation of nativity scenes, claiming that “all our activities […] acquire their full meaning in God’s plan” irrespective of doctrinal adherence or sacramental life.
Theological Abdication Disguised as Piety
Prevost’s assertion that Vatican bureaucrats “give glory to the Lord” merely through workplace dedication constitutes apostasy from the Church’s divine mission. Contrast this with Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925), which declares: “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.” The antipope’s message deliberately omits:
the necessity of professing Catholic truth (Council of Trent, Session 6, Canon 21), the primacy of sanctifying grace (John 15:5), and the Church’s duty to combat errors (Canon 1325).
By reducing the Incarnation to a vague “blessing” upon secular activities, the conciliar sect perpetuates the modernist heresy condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili (1907): “Revelation could be nothing else than the consciousness man acquired of his relation to God” (Proposition 20).
Naturalism Masquerading as Nativity Devotion
The article’s focus on nativity scene figurines “continuing their work” rather than adoring the Christ Child exposes the conciliar sect’s systematic desacralization. Whereas true Catholic teaching maintains that labor without prayer is sterile (1 Cor. 10:31), Prevost insists:
“Sometimes we are so caught up in our occupations that we do not think about the Lord or the Church, but the very fact of working with dedication […] gives glory to the Lord.”
This echoes the naturalism condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Proposition 55). By divorzing daily work from its supernatural end—the salvation of souls—the Vatican bureaucracy confirms its status as a secular NGO occupying ecclesiastical structures.
Omissions That Damn
The complete absence of references to:
- The necessity of the sacraments for salvation (Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus)
- Repentance in preparation for Christ’s Second Coming (Matthew 3:2)
- The Social Kingship of Christ (Quas Primas)
- The Last Judgment (Matthew 25:31-46)
reveals the conciliar sect’s programmatic rejection of eschatological truth. This “Christmas message” could have been written by a UN functionary—a fact underscored by Prevost’s promise to make Vatican offices resemble a corporate “great mosaic” rather than the fortress of faith described in Pius X’s Pascendi.
The True “Style” of Christ’s Church
Authentic Catholic tradition knows no division between “style” and substance. As the Council of Florence teaches (Session 11): “The Holy Roman Church […] firmly believes, professes, and preaches that all those who are outside the Catholic Church […] cannot share in eternal life.” Prevost’s embrace of a vacuous “humility” stripped of doctrinal content constitutes spiritual suicide—a betrayal of the martyrs who died professing Christus Vincit, Christus Regnat, Christus Imperat.
The conciliar sect’s Christmas message proves its fundamental incompatibility with Catholic ecclesiology. While true shepherds warn against the wolves of modernism (Acts 20:29), these hirelings (John 10:12) preach a gospel of bureaucratic efficiency—a fitting epitaph for the counterfeit church of Vatican II.
