Vatican Concert Masks Apostasy With Seasonal Sentimentality
VaticanNews portal reports on a January 3, 2026 Christmas concert by the Sistine Chapel Choir attended by antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost). The event featured performances beneath Michelangelo’s frescoes, Latin chants of the Pater Noster, and dedications to war-affected children. This spectacle exemplifies the conciliar sect’s substitution of sentimental humanitarianism for Catholic worship.
Musical Theater Replaces Liturgical Sacrifice
The antipope’s declaration that “there is no Christmas without song” inverts the Church’s perennial teaching. As Pius XI’s Quas Primas establishes, Christmas celebrates Christ’s birth as “King of kings and Lord of lords” (Rev 19:16), not as occasion for artistic exhibitions. The true Gloria in Excelsis Deo belongs exclusively to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass – not theatrical performances.
By transforming the Sistine Chapel into a concert hall, the Vatican occupiers commit sacrilege against a space consecrated for divine worship. Michelangelo’s Last Judgment fresco implicitly condemns this very profanation, depicting damned souls dragged to perdition for desecrating holy things.
Naturalism Disguised as Compassion
Antipope Leo’s dedication of the concert to children suffering from war continues the conciliar sect’s reduction of Christianity to social activism. The Syllabus of Errors condemns those who claim “the Church is an enemy of…social progress” (Proposition 57) – precisely the error demonstrated when humanitarian concerns replace the Church’s divine mandate to “make disciples of all nations” (Mt 28:19).
True Catholic charity demands first the salvation of souls through sacramental grace. The article mentions no prayers for these children’s baptism, no calls for their conversion, no condemnation of the heresies causing conflicts – only empty sentimentality about “human dignity.” As Pius IX taught in Quanta Cura, such naturalism “denies the reason for which man was created” – to know, love, and serve God.
Selective Antiquarianism Masks Modernist Agenda
The performance’s inclusion of Latin chant constitutes cynical traditionalism. While antipope Leo encourages Latin prayer, his sect systematically destroyed Catholic liturgy through the Novus Ordo Missae – a fabrication violating Pope Pius V’s Quo Primum decree that the Mass “never be changed or altered in perpetuity.”
This selective antiquarianism mirrors Modernist tactics condemned in Pius X’s Pascendi Dominici Gregis: “They embrace all that is new as though it were a mark of superior intelligence” while occasionally appropriating traditional elements to deceive the simple. The Vatican II sect’s abuse of the Sistine Chapel parallels their corruption of the papacy itself – using sacred forms to propagate heresy.
Omission of Doctrine Exposes Heretical Foundations
Nowhere does the article mention Christ’s divinity, the Incarnation’s salvific purpose, or mankind’s need for redemption. The conciliar sect’s “Christmas” celebrates a humanitarian teacher, not the Word Made Flesh. This aligns with Modernist Christology condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane: “The divinity of Christ is not proven by the Gospels but is a dogma which Christian consciousness derived from the notion of the Messiah” (Proposition 27).
The antipope’s reference to Mary’s “silent heart” perverts true Marian devotion. Unlike authentic saints who honor Mary as Mediatrix of All Graces, the conciliar sect reduces her to passive symbol – even while permitting pagan goddess worship at events like the Amazon Synod.
False Peace Versus Christ’s Kingship
Antipope Leo’s prayer for “justice and peace” deliberately ignores Pius XI’s teaching that “the peace of Christ can only be found in the Kingdom of Christ” (Quas Primas). The article’s concern for children “without lights” and “without peace” omits the true light of faith extinguished by Vatican II’s religious indifferentism.
As the Syllabus declares against naturalistic peacemakers: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Proposition 55). Until nations publicly recognize Christ’s social kingship, all appeals for peace constitute blasphemous hypocrisy.
