The Catholic News Agency portal reports on an extraordinary consistory held by antipope Robert Prevost (“Leo XIV”) on January 7-8, 2026, where 170 cardinals relegated discussion of the liturgy to secondary importance in favor of debating Jorge Bergoglio’s documents Evangelii Gaudium and Praedicate Evangelium. Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni claimed “a large majority” of cardinals preferred discussing “evangelization” and “synodality” due to alleged time constraints, despite the antipope initially listing liturgy among four proposed topics. Traditional Catholic voices expressed dismay at this deliberate marginalization of sacramental theology in favor of Modernist innovations.
Liturgical Abandonment as Theological Sabotage
The consistory’s decision constitutes theological malpractice by treating the Sacrosanctum Sacrificium (Most Holy Sacrifice) as negotiable agenda item rather than the unbloody renewal of Calvary’s propitiatory offering. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas establishes that all missionary activity flows from Christ’s Kingship manifested through liturgical worship: “The Kingdom of our Savior seemed to shine with a new light when we enrolled six confessors and virgins among the Saints…when countless crowds of the faithful sang with grateful hearts: ‘You are Christ the King of glory!'” (Quas Primas). By demoting liturgy beneath bureaucratic discussions, the antipope’s assembly commits the error condemned in Lamentabili Sane – treating divine worship as “merely a certain interpretation of religious facts, which the human mind has worked out with great effort” (Proposition 22).
Synodality: Masquerade for Democratic Revolution
The elevation of “synodality” as primary discussion topic reveals the conciliar sect’s systematic dismantling of hierarchical authority. The Holy Office under St. Pius X condemned such egalitarian ecclesiology: “The Church listening cooperates in such a way with the Church teaching in defining truths of faith, that the Church teaching should only approve the common opinions of the Church listening” (Lamentabili Sane, Proposition 6). This consistory institutionalizes the Modernist heresy by having cardinals “divided into 20 groups” to reach consensus – a process alien to the sine dominico non possumus (we cannot live without Sunday) principle where truth flows from apostolic authority to the faithful, not through democratic deliberation.
Evangelii Gaudium: Blueprint for Apostasy
Prioritizing Bergoglio’s manifesto exposes the antipapal cabal’s doctrinal bankruptcy. Evangelii Gaudium‘s call for “missionary transformation” directly contradicts Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors which condemns the notion that “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Proposition 80). The document’s embrace of “human rights” language constitutes naturalistic reductionism denounced in Quas Primas: “When God and Jesus Christ were removed from laws and states…the entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation.”
The cardinals were then asked to make clear which two of the four they would want to be specifically debated…’a large majority’ decided the topics would be ‘evangelization and the Church’s missionary activity drawn from rereading Evangelii Gaudium,’ and ‘the Synod and synodality.’
This procedural manipulation confirms the conciliar sect’s contempt for lex orandi, lex credendi (the law of prayer is the law of belief). By restricting liturgical discussion while permitting unlimited debate on Bergoglian innovations, the antipope’s regime enacts the very “secularism of our times” lamented in Quas Primas as producing “seeds of discord sown everywhere, flames of envy and hostility.”
Systematic Persecution of Traditional Piety
The article’s admission that traditional Catholics feel “deeply wound[ed]” by liturgical restrictions exposes the conciliar sect’s schizophrenic ecclesiology. While claiming to promote “evangelization,” it persecutes those maintaining the apostolic liturgy – the true fons et culmen (source and summit) of evangelization. The “Messa in Latino” editor’s bewilderment at cardinals’ failure to defend liturgy mirrors the abandonment of duty condemned by St. Pius X: “The Church has not the power of using force, nor has she any temporal power, direct or indirect” (Lamentabili Sane, Proposition 24). True shepherds defend the flock, not collaborate in its scattering.
Bruni’s feeble reassurance that liturgy “will still be addressed within the others” constitutes doublespeak characteristic of Modernism. Pius X’s Pascendi Dominici Gregis identifies this tactic: “They make a rule of saying that in a creed religious experiences are to be interpreted, but not dogma…Thus they free themselves of all dogmatic restraint.” The consistory’s liturgical sidelining completes the conciliar revolution’s auto-demolition – replacing sacramental worship with bureaucratic process.
