Universalist Fallacy Masquerading as Christian Brotherhood
The VaticanNews portal (December 26, 2025) reports that antipope Leo XIV used his Angelus address to declare that “Christians have no enemies, only brothers and sisters,” framing this as an extension of Christmas charity while ignoring the Church’s perennial teaching about spiritual warfare and doctrinal integrity. This dangerous distortion exemplifies the conciliar sect’s systematic dismantling of Catholic eschatology.
Denial of Spiritual Warfare as Apostasy
When the usurper of the Apostolic Palace claims that “Christians have no enemies,” he directly contradicts Scripture’s explicit warning: “Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour” (1 Peter 5:8). This blasphemous assertion destroys the very concept of militia Christi, reducing the Church’s mission to sentimental humanism. The apostate “pope” forgets that Christ Himself commanded: “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword” (Matthew 10:34).
“Christians, however, have no enemies, but brothers and sisters, who remain so even when they do not understand each other.”
This statement constitutes formal heresy against:
- The dogmatic teaching on extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (Council of Florence, Session 11): If all are “brothers and sisters” regardless of faith, the necessity of conversion is negated.
- The Church’s condemnation of religious indifferentism (Pius IX, Quanta Cura 3): By erasing distinctions between believers and enemies of the Faith, Leo XIV promotes the condemned error that “every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which… he shall consider true.”
- The martyrological witness of St. Stephen, whom Leo XIV hypochetically cites while rejecting the saint’s reproof of Jewish authorities (Acts 7:51-53). True martyrs name enemies of Christ, not pretend they don’t exist.
Erasure of Catholic Eschatology
The Angelus message systematically omits essential elements of authentic Catholic teaching:
| Omission in Leo XIV’s Address | Contrast With Pre-1958 Magisterium |
|---|---|
| No mention of Hell, Satan, or eternal consequences of heresy | “The chief cause of this abandonment of the Christian religion is the war waged against the Church by the sects” (Pius X, Vehementer Nos 3) |
| Absence of call to conversion | “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20) |
| False equivalence between oppressors and victims | “There can be no true brotherhood outside Christian charity” (Pius XI, Divini Redemptoris 29) |
When the antipope speaks of “those who choose justice ‘even at great cost,'” he deliberately avoids naming Islamist persecutors, communist regimes, or abortionists as enemies – a cowardice foreign to the martyrs he pretends to venerate. This omission fulfills Pius X’s warning about Modernists who “efface all differences between Catholicism and heresy” (Lamentabili Sane 65).
Naturalism Disguised as Piety
The conciliar sect’s rhetoric employs Christian vocabulary to preach pagan content:
- Fraternity without paternity: By declaring universal brotherhood while denying God’s fatherhood through baptismal regeneration (John 3:5), Leo XIV revives the Masonic motto “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” condemned by Leo XIII (Humanum Genus 10).
- Martyrdom stripped of testimony: Reducing Stephen’s witness to mere “non-violence” ignores his prophetic denunciation of heresy – the very act that provoked his martyrdom (Acts 7:51-53).
- Joy detached from truth: The claim that joy “sprouts” through human dialogue perverts the teaching that “you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free” (John 8:32).
Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas explicitly condemned this naturalistic reduction: “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.” By contrast, the Vatican II sect offers only the hollow peace of surrender to modernity.
Conclusion: A Betrayal of the Martyrs
The blood of St. Stephen cries out not for false unity with his murderers, but for the vindication of Christ’s exclusive lordship. As the Church has always taught: “What fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial?” (2 Corinthians 6:14-15). This Angelus constitutes spiritual treason – a white flag raised before the world, the flesh, and the devil by those who long ago ceased to be Catholic.
