The Catholic News Agency portal reports on an extraordinary consistory convened by antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) with approximately 170 “cardinals” in Rome. The gathering allegedly sought “spiritual discernment” concerning the “Synod and synodality” and “evangelization” based on Bergoglio’s *Evangelii Gaudium*. The usurper of Peter’s throne declared: “We gather not to promote personal or group agendas” but to entrust plans to “discernment that transcends us,” while quoting the modernist heretic Karol Wojtyła (“St. John Paul II”) on “Trinitarian love” as “the heart’s contemplation of the mystery of the Trinity dwelling in us.” The event omitted discussion of liturgy and doctrine due to “lack of time,” focusing instead on implementing the conciliar revolution.
Naturalistic Subversion of Ecclesial Authority
The consistory’s operative principle – “We may not always be able to find immediate solutions to the problems we face” – constitutes a blasphemous denial of the Church’s divine constitution. Quas Primas (Pius XI, 1925) declares Christ’s reign over nations: “He must reign in the minds of men… in the will… in the heart… by the law of His nature and the law which He acquired through our redemption.” By contrast, this pseudo-collegial assembly reduces governance to human pragmatism, abandoning the munus regendi (governing office) entrusted solely to Peter’s successor for safeguarding immutable truth. The conciliar sect’s “discernment” methodology – “entrusting our plans and inspirations” to ambiguous processes – embodies the modernist heresy condemned in Lamentabili Sane (1907): “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20).
“We gather not to promote personal or group ‘agendas’ but to entrust our plans and inspirations to a discernment that transcends us”
This statement exposes the conciliar inversion of hierarchy. True popes govern with Christ’s authority (Tu es Petrus), not bureaucratic consensus. Pius IX’s Syllabus condemns the proposition that “The Roman pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Proposition 80). Yet here, the antipope functionally denies his pretended office by elevating collective discernment above apostolic authority.
Syncretism Disguised as “Spirituality of Communion”
The invocation of “Trinitarian love” as the gathering’s foundation constitutes theological sabotage. The conciliar sect’s operative definition – “the gift that we are to one another” – reduces the Holy Trinity to a humanistic symbol of interpersonal relations. This contradicts the Athanasian Creed: “The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. And yet they are not three Gods, but one God.” The true Church celebrates the Eucharistic Sacrifice as font et culmen (source and summit) of ecclesial life (Council of Trent), not as a therapy session for organizational strategizing.
When the antipope instructs participants to place “hopes and ideas upon the altar,” he profanes the Holy Sacrifice by equating human opinions with the unbloody renewal of Calvary. St. Pius X’s Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907) identifies this as classic modernism: “They place their ideas on a par with the dogmas professed by the Church.” The true Mass offers propitiation for sins; the conciliar sect’s table gathering offers self-congratulatory dialogue.
Omissions Revealing Doctrinal Apostasy
The consistory’s silence on these truths proves its anti-Catholic nature:
- No mention of Christ the King: While quoting Is 55:9 (“as the heavens are higher than the earth“), the antipope suppressed the verse’s context – God’s eternal covenant through David (Is 55:3), fulfilled in Christ’s universal reign. Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King precisely to combat secularism’s “denial of Christ’s reign over all nations” (Quas Primas).
- Absence of missionary mandate: The true Church evangelizes to “make disciples of all nations” (Mt 28:19), converting souls to the one true faith. The conciliar sect’s “missionary character” references Bergoglio’s Evangelii Gaudium – a manifesto for religious indifferentism which claims “non-Christians can receive God’s grace and salvation” (§254).
- Erasure of rubrical orthodoxy: The admission that “lack of time has limited the issues that will be addressed” regarding liturgy proves the conciliar sect’s contempt for the Mass’s sacrificial nature. Contrast this with St. Pius V’s Quo Primum (1570): “Let all everywhere adopt and observe what has been handed down by the Holy Roman Church, the Mother and Teacher of the other churches.”
Symptomatic Fruits of Conciliar Revolution
The consistory’s structure manifests the conciliar sect’s anti-hierarchical essence. True extraordinary consistories addressed doctrinal emergencies (e.g., Pius XII’s 1946 consistory condemning communism). This gathering’s agenda – implementing “synodality” – advances the modernist plan to replace the Petrine monarchy with democratic governance. The “College of Cardinals” has become a Masonic-style advisory board, as predicted by St. Pius X: “The enemies of the Church… dream of a return to the democratic forms which once prevailed in Church government” (Notre Charge Apostolique, 1910).
The antipope’s appeal to “find the ‘five loaves and two fish’ that providence ‘never fails to provide’” inverts the miracle’s meaning. Christ multiplied loaves to feed those who had followed Him into the desert (Mt 14:13) – a symbol of the Church nourishing faithful Catholics, not conciliar bureaucrats seeking worldly relevance. The true solution to “profound inequalities” lies in the Social Reign of Christ the King, not NGO-style “discernment.”
Conclusion: Eclipse of the True Church
This pseudo-consistory epitomizes the conciliar sect’s foundational error: replacing lex credendi with lex dialogandi. Where popes once defined dogma (Nicaea, Trent, Vatican I), antipopes now facilitate focus groups. Where saints converted nations, conciliar “evangelizers” apologize for Catholic “triumphalism.” As Pius IX declared: “The Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics, because it steadfastly adheres to its views, which cannot be reconciled with modern progress” (False Proposition 63 in Syllabus). The authentic Church remains with those who reject this abomination and keep the faith once delivered (Jude 1:3).
