The “Catholic News Agency” portal reports that the antipope Leo XIV, during his January 7, 2026 general audience, reaffirmed the “prophetic relevance” of the Second Vatican Council. This modernist usurper, presiding over the conciliar sect occupying Vatican structures, declared the council’s documents as the “guiding star” for what he erroneously calls “the Church’s journey,” while quoting his predecessor Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger) who himself embodied the hermeneutic of rupture. The antipope claims the council “rediscovered the face of God as Father” and initiated “liturgical reform,” while promoting ecumenism and dialogue with the world as essential to the “ecclesial reform” still allegedly needed. This blasphemous assertion ignores the council’s role as the gateway to apostasy, constituting not renewal but the systematic demolition of Catholic tradition.
Theological Subversion of Divine Revelation
The assertion that Vatican II “rediscovered the face of God” constitutes direct contradiction of the depositum fidei (deposit of faith) maintained inviolate until 1958. Pope St. Pius X condemned this modernist deception in Pascendi Dominici Gregis: “Modernists place and conceive faith… as a fruit of sentiment and religious experience.” The council’s anthropocentric focus on God as “Father” rather than the thrice-holy Judge (Sanctus Deus, Sanctus Fortis, Sanctus Immortalis) perverts the lex orandi (law of prayer) exemplified in the traditional Mass prayers: “We offer to Thy glorious majesty… a pure Victim, a holy Victim, a spotless Victim.”
When the usurper claims Vatican II initiated “liturgical reform” centered on “active and conscious participation,” he reveals the council’s true aim: replacing the propitiatory Sacrifice with communal meal. Pope Pius XII warned against this exact error in Mediator Dei: “The worship rendered by the Church… is… directed and ordained to God… but no merely human undertaking can be assigned the same intrinsic value as the Catholic Liturgy.” The Novus Ordo’s anthropocentric innovations – versus populum celebration, vernacular languages, elimination of sacred silence – constitute what Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani called “a striking departure from Catholic theology.”
Systematic Rejection of Ecclesial Foundations
The conciliar sect’s claim to have renewed understanding of the Church “as mystery of communion” masks its fundamental heresy against the Church’s divine constitution. Pope Pius XII’s Mystici Corporis Christi definitively taught: “Only those are to be included as members of the Church who have been baptized and profess the true faith, and who have not been so unfortunate as to separate themselves from the unity of the Body, or been excluded by legitimate authority for grave faults committed.” Vatican II’s Lumen Gentium, by contrast, invented the heretical “subsistit in” formulation to enable ecumenical relativism.
The antipope’s praise for “dialogue with the world” directly violates Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors, which condemned the proposition that “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Error 80). His invocation of “ecumenism” constitutes apostasy against the extra Ecclesiam nulla salus dogma defined at Florence: “No one, even if he shed his blood for Christ, can be saved unless he remain in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church.”
Omission as Confession of Apostasy
The article’s silence on Quas Primas (Pius XI’s encyclical on Christ the King) reveals the conciliar revolution’s core betrayal. Where Christ’s social kingship once reigned as non-negotiable dogma, Vatican II’s Dignitatis Humanae instituted religious indifferentism. The antipope’s call to “open arms to humanity” replaces the Church’s divine mission to convert nations with naturalistic humanitarianism. As Pope Pius XI taught: “The empire of our Redeemer embraces all men. To use the words of Our immortal predecessor, Pope Leo XIII: ‘His empire includes not only Catholic nations, not only baptized persons… but also all those who are outside the Christian faith; so that truly the whole of mankind is subject to the power of Jesus Christ.'”
The consistent omission of penalty for heresy, necessity of sacramental confession, and Four Last Things in conciliar discourse exposes its anti-supernatural essence. Where pre-1958 encyclicals like Mortalium Animos forbade ecumenical gatherings, this antipope promotes dialogue that implicitly denies Catholic exclusivity. The council’s “spirit” he praises is precisely the “gas of the devil” condemned by Cardinal Giuseppe Siri – a revolutionary force dismantling the Church’s divine constitution.
Continuation of Masonic Subversion
The invocation of John XXIII as “saint” confirms the operation’s diabolical disorientation. This modernist antipope, who suppressed the Oath Against Modernism and initiated the council, fulfilled Masonic plans documented in Alta Vendita papers: “The work which we have undertaken is not the work of a day… We intend to seize the Church and make her climb to the summit.” The “liturgical reform” praised here has produced what Cardinal Ottaviani’s 1969 study called “a striking departure from the Catholic theology of the Mass,” reducing it to Protestant memorial service.
When the Vatican II sect speaks of “implementing insights” through “co-responsibility,” it implements the Protestantizing ecclesiology condemned in Pius VI’s Auctorem Fidei: “The proposition which establishes… that the power given by Christ to Peter… was given not to him personally but to the Church… is heretical.” The conciliar “magisterium” constitutes not development but formal heresy, as Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre recognized before his own compromise: “This Council seems to be to be the greatest disaster in the history of the Church.”
Conclusion: Return to Immutable Tradition
The conciliar sect’s continued veneration of Vatican II confirms its complete rupture with the Catholic Faith. As St. Pius X decreed in Lamentabili Sane: “The pronouncements of the Church leave room for… progress which would lead to the ultimate refining of dogma” (Condemned Proposition 21). The only path to salvation lies in rejecting this counterfeit church and returning to the unchanging doctrine, liturgy, and discipline preserved by true Catholic bishops maintaining apostolic succession outside the Vatican structures. Let faithful Catholics heed Pope Leo XIII’s warning in Satis Cognitum: “The practice of the Church has always been the same… to condemn and reprove those who erring from the Faith… The Church has always regarded them as… enemies of the truth.”
