Assisi’s “Fraternity” Prize: Masonic Syncretism Masquerading as Charity
The Catholic News Agency portal (January 16, 2026) reports that the Diocese of Assisi will award 50,000 euros to initiatives promoting an “economy of fraternity” inspired by Bergoglio’s Laudato Si’ and the beatification of Carlo Acutis. Former “archbishop” Domenico Sorrentino instituted this prize in 2020, with this year’s winner to receive an icon of Francis of Assisi and Acutis while being vested with Francis’ cloak at the Sanctuary of the Renunciation. Monsignor Anthony Figueiredo claims the award encourages grassroots projects restoring dignity to the poor through “generative” economic models. This modernist spectacle exposes the conciliar sect’s abandonment of Christus Rex in favor of naturalistic humanism.
Subversion of Franciscan Charism Through Masonic Terminology
The very term “economy of fraternity” constitutes theological sabotage. True Catholic social doctrine, as articulated in Pius XI’s Quas Primas, demands societies recognize “the rights of our Divine Lord over men and nations” (1925). By contrast, this “fraternity” echoes the Masonic triad of liberté, égalité, fraternité condemned in Gregory XVI’s Mirari Vos as “this infamous contrivance, which is greatly inimical alike to the Church and to the State” (1832). The ceremony’s “cloak of Francis” mocks the saint who received the stigmata while rejecting worldly compromises.
Laudato Si’: Vehicle for Pantheistic Revolution
Figueiredo’s admission that this initiative was “born in the heart of Pope Francis” confirms its heterodox nature. Bergoglio’s encyclical promotes the condemned error of religious indifferentism by claiming “other creatures have their own value in God’s eyes” (§69) – a direct contradiction of Trent’s anathema against those who place man “on par with animals” (Session V). The prize’s global scope (160 projects across five continents) implements the conciliar heresy of universal salvation, rejecting Pius IX’s defined dogma: “Outside the Church there is no salvation” (Singulari Quidem, 1854).
Carlo Acutis: Postconciliar Fabrication
The award’s connection to Acutis’ beatification compounds its illegitimacy. This teenager died in 2006 without heroic virtue, his “incorrupt” body resembling waxwork exhibits rather than authentic miracles like St. Bernadette. His cult advances the neo-modernist agenda by presenting internet use as sanctifiable – contradicting Pius X’s condemnation of “those who extol modernism above religious obedience” (Pascendi, 1907). The joint iconography with St. Francis constitutes blasphemous equivalence between a Church-approved mystic and a conciliar propaganda tool.
Naturalism Disguised as Charity
Projects like Caritas Goa’s vocational training epitomize the conciliar inversion of charity. While traditional Catholic aid always subordinated material assistance to spiritual salvation (Matthew 10:8), these initiatives reduce the Church to a NGO. As Pius XI warned, “False humanitarianism makes philanthropy substitute for charity” (Divini Redemptoris, 1937). The emphasis on “earning” through business partnerships contradicts Christ’s command to “give without payment” (Matthew 10:8), reducing the Gospel to Marxist labor theory.
Ceremonial Apostasy at the Sanctuary of Renunciation
The prize ceremony at Assisi’s Sanctuary of the Renunciation completes this sacrilege. This site commemorates Francis’ literal stripping of worldly garments to embrace Holy Poverty. By contrast, the “cloak” ritual appropriates sacred symbolism to bless economic activism – precisely what the saint renounced. The involvement of Figueiredo, who organized interreligious events with antipope Bergoglio, confirms this as pagan theater. As St. Pius X decreed: “The true friends of the people are neither revolutionaries nor innovators, but traditionalists” (Notre Charge Apostolique, 1910).
The Assisi prize exemplifies the conciliar sect’s definitive rupture with Catholic Tradition. By replacing the Social Kingship of Christ with Masonic fraternity and canonizing worldly activism, it fulfills Pius IX’s prophecy: “The enemies of divine revelation have given the name of progress to their struggle against us” (Syllabus of Errors, 1864). Only restoration of the Mass of Ages and public Legislation Christiana can reverse this apostasy.
