The Catholic News Agency portal reports that “Cardinal” Carlos Aguiar Retes met with antipope Leo XIV (“Francis”) on January 14, 2026, renewing an invitation for the Vatican usurper to visit Mexico under the pretext of entrusting his “pontificate” to Our Lady of Guadalupe. The article details discussions about the Mexican “synodal process,” with the antipope allegedly praising “pastoral co-responsibility” and encouraging participation in a January 17 pilgrimage to Tepeyac.
Naturalism Masquerading as Ecclesial Renewal
The article’s promotion of the “synodal process” constitutes a deliberate subversion of Catholic ecclesiology. The conciliar sect’s insistence on “listening, discernment, and pastoral co-responsibility” directly contradicts the immutable teaching that the Church is “a perfect society, unequal by nature, containing within itself the principle of its own unity, which resides in the jurisdiction of the Roman Pontiff” (Pius XII, Mystici Corporis §40). When the antipope speaks of “strengthening this path,” he advances the modernist heresy condemned by St. Pius X: “For the Modernists, the laity must be on a footing of equality with the clergy” (Pascendi §25).
This revolutionary agenda finds its roots in the condemned proposition that “The Church is not a true and perfect society, entirely free” (Pius IX, Syllabus of Errors §19). The Mexican “cardinal’s” report about “progress” in synodal discussions exposes the conciliar sect’s systematic dismantling of hierarchical authority, replacing it with democratic processes utterly foreign to the Church’s divine constitution.
Guadalupe Devotion Weaponized for Apostasy
The planned pilgrimage to Tepeyac represents not authentic Marian devotion but paganized spectacle. True Catholic veneration requires “adoratio in spiritu et veritate” (adoration in spirit and truth – John 4:23), not the syncretistic rituals promoted by the conciliar sect. Pius XI warned that “the man of faith loses the greatest treasures when he departs from the integrity of devotion” (Quas Primas), yet the article celebrates a pilgrimage devoid of doctrinal content, reduced to sentimental collectivism.
The Guadalupe apparitions, while approved under different historical circumstances, now serve the conciliar agenda through deliberate ambiguities. As the False Fatima Apparitions document observes: “The imprecise formulation ‘conversion of Russia’ (without specifying Catholicism) opens the way to religious relativism” – a pattern repeating with Guadalupe’s exploitation for indigenous syncretism. The true Church honors Mary as destroyer of heresies, not as prop for modernist pageantry.
Illegitimate Authority and Invalid Mandates
The entire narrative rests on the fraudulent premise that Leo XIV possesses papal authority. Canon 1556 of the 1917 Code states: “The First See is judged by no one.” Yet this “pope” stands self-condemned by his heresies against the necessity of conversion (Cantalamessa’s 2023 interreligious address), female “ministries” (2024 synod), and denial of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (2025 Abu Dhabi declaration). Following Bellarmine’s principle: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope” (De Romano Pontifice II.30), this usurper lacks all jurisdiction.
The article’s reference to Aguiar as “cardinal” compounds the fraud. Pius XII’s Cum gravissima (1962) required cardinals to receive episcopal consecration, yet Bergoglio’s 2016 appointment of Aguiar violated this norm – proving the conciliar sect operates outside canonical validity. As the Defense of Sedevacantism document demonstrates: “Canon 188.4 states: ‘Every office becomes vacant by the mere fact… if the cleric publicly defects from the Catholic faith'” – a condition fulfilled by all post-Conciliar “popes.”
Omission of Supernatural Reality
Nowhere does the article mention the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, sacramental validity, or the necessity of grace – the very marks of Catholic journalism before Vatican II. Instead, it peddles the naturalistic lie that the Church’s mission involves sociological processes rather than the “sanctification of souls through participation in the divine mysteries” (Pius X, Sacra Tridentina). The silence about the Mass proves the conciliar sect’s abandonment of the raison d’être of Catholicism: “The Most Holy Eucharist contains the Church’s entire spiritual wealth” (Paul VI, Mysterium Fidei §5) – a truth now buried beneath synodal talking shops.
The article’s celebration of “laypeople” and “pastoral workers” reveals the conciliar revolution’s anticlerical core. Contrast this with Pius X’s condemnation: “The Church is essentially an unequal society… comprising two categories of persons, the Pastors and the flock” (Vehementer Nos §8). What the portal touts as “progress” constitutes systematic deconstruction of Christ’s hierarchical Church.
Conclusion: Masonic Pincer Movement Against Christ’s Kingship
This invitation epitomizes the conciliar sect’s double betrayal: exploiting Marian devotion to mask apostasy while advancing revolutionary ecclesiology. As Pius XI declared: “When once men recognize… that Christ has been cast out of public life… then the whole fabric of society will totter” (Quas Primas §1). Mexico’s tragedy mirrors the global crisis: a church of man replacing the Church of Christ, with Guadalupe’s mantle appropriated to cloak modernism’s nakedness.
True Catholics must heed Our Lord’s warning: “If they say to you: Behold, he is in the desert, go ye not out” (Matthew 24:26). The conciliar sect’s theatrical “pilgrimages” and “synods” constitute spiritual deserts where the Antichrist’s shadow lengthens. Only by clinging to the depositum fidei and valid sacraments outside these counterfeit structures can we remain faithful to Christ the King.
