Vatican Pageantry Masks Apostasy in 2025 “Papal” Transition
Catholic News Agency’s December 30, 2025 article chronicles the death of Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) and subsequent election of Robert Prevost (“Pope Leo XIV”) as milestones in conciliar sect history. The piece presents these events through naturalistic spectacle: “400,000 people filled St. Peter’s Square” for Bergoglio’s funeral, while Prevost’s election as “first American pope” is framed as historic. The narrative ignores doctrinal collapse, instead favoring sentimental imagery – Bergoglio’s hospitalized hands, Prevost praying at Bergoglio’s tomb, and crowds cheering Sistine Chapel smoke.
Canonical Nullity of Post-1958 “Pontiffs”
The article’s foundational error lies in treating the conciliar sect’s leadership as legitimate. Cum ex Apostolatus Officio (1559) decrees that any prelate who “prior to his promotion or his elevation […] has defected from the Catholic Faith or fallen into some heresy […] his promotion or elevation shall be null, void, and of no effect.” Since John XXIII’s embrace of modernist errors, all subsequent “popes” have promulgated heresies – from religious liberty (contra Quanta cura) to ecuмenism (contra Mortalium animos). Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code confirms automatic loss of office for public defection from faith. Bergoglio’s death certificate calling him “pope” constitutes institutional fraud against Catholic ecclesiology.
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Faith
Every described “unforgettable moment” reveals the conciliar sect’s abandonment of transcendence:
“Pope Francis’ hands are seen as his body lies in state”
This macabre fixation on Bergoglio’s corpse contrasts with Catholic tradition’s emphasis on the soul’s judgment before God. Pius XI’s Quas primas (1925) reminds that “the Church, that is the kingdom of Christ on earth […] is intended for all people” through divine mandate, not personality cults. The article’s theatrical elements – Swiss Guards flanking a casket, “133 cardinal electors” processing into the Sistine Chapel – constitute Masonic-grade ritualism condemned in the “False Fatima Apparitions” analysis.
Omissions Expose Doctrinal Bankruptcy
Nowhere does the article mention:
- Bergoglio’s heresies (denial of hell, promotion of homosexual unions)
- Prevost’s record as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops implementing modernist appointments
- The invalid consecration of most “cardinals” post-1968
This silence confirms the conciliar sect’s adherence to Modernist principles condemned in Lamentabili sane exitu (1907): “The dogmas […] are not truths of divine origin but are a certain interpretation of religious facts.” The “dialogue between Jesus and Peter” tapestry displayed during Prevost’s inaugural Mass symbolizes the sect’s reduction of divine authority to human sentiment.
Election Farce Contradicts Divine Law
The conclave’s procedural details – “four ballots,” “133 cardinal electors” – mask its theological nullity. St. Robert Bellarmine’s De Romano Pontifice states: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope.” Since all electors acknowledged Bergoglio’s “pontificate,” they participate in his apostasy. The Syllabus of Errors (1864) condemns the very notion that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” – the platform of both Bergoglio and Prevost.
Conclusion: Anti-Church Advances Its Ruin
Catholic News Agency’s gilded coverage of this transition exemplifies the conciliar sect’s modus operandi: substitute sacramental reality for emotional pageantry. As traditional Catholics recall Pius XII’s 1954 consecration of Russia to Mary’s Immaculate Heart (rejected by modernists), the conciliar machine manufactures new “historic firsts” to accelerate apostasy. Let the faithful heed Pope Leo XIII’s warning in Satis cognitum: “The Church […] cannot be abandoned to the arbitrary judgment of irresponsible individuals.”
