Jubilee 2025: Naturalized Hope Replaces Supernatural Faith in Vatican Ritual
VaticanNews portal reports Cardinal James Michael Harvey closing the Holy Door at St. Paul Outside the Walls on December 28, 2025, during a Mass emphasizing “hope” amid global conflicts. The ceremony featured vague references to “mercy” and “conversion” divorced from sacramental reality, exemplifying the conciliar sect’s complete abandonment of Catholic eschatology.
Naturalization of Theological Virtue
The article reduces Christian hope to psychological resilience against “wars, crises, injustices and confusion” – a purely naturalistic distortion condemned by Pius XI: “When God and Jesus Christ are removed from laws and states… the entire human society had to be shaken” (Quas Primas). Cardinal Harvey’s description of hope as “trusting confidence capable of passing through history” deliberately omits its supernatural object: the Beatific Vision. This transforms a theological virtue into secular optimism, violating the Council of Trent’s decree on justification (Session VI, Canon 19).
Ecumenical Subversion of Salvation Doctrine
The inscription “Spes unica” above the Holy Door becomes blasphemous when divorced from its dogmatic context. The 1864 Syllabus of Errors explicitly condemns the notion that “good hope at least is to be entertained of the eternal salvation of all those who are not at all in the true Church of Christ” (Proposition 17). Yet the ceremony implies universal salvation through mere “penitential journey” rather than ex opere operato sacraments, echoing Modernist Christology condemned in Lamentabili Sane: “The Resurrection of the Savior is not properly a historical fact” (Proposition 36).
“Hope means waiting with confidence for the salvation already given”
This Bergoglian heresy reduces redemption to immanentist process, denying the necessity of actual sanctifying grace. Pius XII’s Mystici Corporis (1943) anathematized such concepts: “Only those are to be included as members of the Church who have been baptized and profess the true faith, and who have not unhappily withdrawn from Body-unity or for grave faults been excluded by legitimate authority” (§22).
Penitential Symbolism Without Sacramental Substance
The theatrical door-closing ritual mocks true Jubilee observance. Unlike Boniface VIII’s 1300 Jubilee requiring confession, contrition, and reception of Holy Eucharist (Bull Antiquorum Habet), this ceremony offers empty gestures. Cardinal Harvey’s claim that “God never closes the door to man; it is man who is called to pass through it” inverts Catholic teaching. The Church must exclude public sinners (1 Cor 5:13), as reaffirmed by Pius V: “Let them be excommunicated who allow access to excommunicated persons” (Regnans in Excelsis).
Illegitimate Actors Performing Invalid Rites
The ceremony’s validity is nullified by its performers. “Cardinal” Harvey, created by antipope Bergoglio in 2012, lacks jurisdiction. The mention of “Pope Leo XIV” confirms the apostate lineage condemned by Paul IV’s Cum Ex Apostolatus: “If any bishop… even the Roman Pontiff… prior to his promotion… has defected from the Catholic Faith… his promotion shall be null, void, and of no effect.” When antipopes consecrate bishops, they create “simulated priests of the abomination” (St. Hippolytus).
Omission of Eschatological Reality
Notably absent is any reference to the Four Last Things – Death, Judgment, Heaven, Hell. The conciliar sect’s “hope” ignores Christ’s warning: “Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven” (Mt 7:21). Pius IX’s Quanta Cura condemns this silence: “They do not hesitate to foster that erroneous opinion, especially fatal to the Catholic Church… that eternal salvation may be obtained by any kind of profession of faith.”
“May the door of mission remain open, because the world needs Christ”
This relativistic phrasing implies non-Catholics might possess Christ, denying Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus. The Council of Florence (1442) infallibly declared: “No one remaining outside the Catholic Church… can become partakers of eternal life; but they will go into eternal fire… unless before the end of life they are joined to Her.”
