Vatican News portal (January 17, 2026) reports the ceremonial sealing of St. Peter’s Holy Door following the so-called “Jubilee of Hope,” featuring interviews with conciliar sect officials who sacrilegiously equate masonry with sacramental grace. Cardinal Gambetti and Archbishop Ravelli presided over the rite, while Monsignor Pepe described the physical sealing process involving 3,200 commemorative bricks and a lead capsule containing Vatican II artifacts. The portal claims this ritual concludes a “spiritual journey” for millions who passed through the door, obscuring the blasphemous nature of this neo-church spectacle.
Ritual Theater Replaces Sacramental Economy
The article’s obsessive focus on quantitative measurements (“3,200 bricks,” “620 solid bricks,” “several million pilgrims”) betrays the conciliar sect’s materialist worldview. Monsignor Pepe’s statement that “the Holy Door… is also a spiritual reality—a place where the faithful have an experience of God” constitutes sacramental inversion, elevating architectural novelty above the Church’s true means of grace. As Pius XI declared in Quas Primas: “The kingdom of our Savior is primarily spiritual and relates mainly to spiritual matters” (1925). The true Holy Year practice required confession of faith in Christ the King, not theatrical door rituals.
When the Fabric secretary claims pilgrims sought “God’s welcome for those who want to make a passage of definitive conversion,” he omits the necessary conditions for valid Jubilee indulgences: sacramental confession, Eucharistic communion, prayer for the Pope’s intentions, and complete detachment from sin (Benedict XIV, Inter Praeteritos, 1748). The conciliar sect’s silence on these requirements confirms its apostasy from the theology of grace.
Naturalism Displaces Supernatural Order
The portal’s celebration of pilgrims “coming on foot” as evidence of spiritual fervor reveals the neo-church’s anthropocentric heresy. Cardinal Gambetti’s symbolic brick-laying ceremony parallels the Masonic “cornerstone” rituals condemned by Pius IX: “They are in reality a sect… plotting to destroy the Church” (Etsi Multa, 1873). This physical sealing of doors directly contradicts Christ’s warning: “Woe to you, teachers of the law… you shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces” (Matthew 23:13).
Monsignor Pepe’s blasphemous assertion that “the door of Christ’s heart always remains open” while a physical door is sealed constitutes psychological manipulation, divorcing Christ’s mercy from His justice. Pius XII condemned such sentimentalism: “The first duty of charity does not lie in the toleration of false ideas” (Humani Generis, 1950). The true Church warns that Christ’s Heart remains open only to those who submit to His social kingship as defined in Quas Primas.
Conciliar Sect’s Masonic Parallels
The ceremonial capsule’s contents—Vatican II medals, modernist “blessed” objects, and bureaucratic documents—mirror Masonic time capsule rituals. As the False Fatima Apparitions file documents: “Masonic Operation ‘Fatima’… ritualistic 200-year cycles” with fabricated relics. This ritual confirms the conciliar sect’s continuity with revolutionary anti-Catholicism, fulfilling Pius X’s warning about Modernist methods: “They make conscience and science consist in… evolution” (Pascendi, 1907).
The article’s concluding hope that pilgrims may “find in us a readiness to welcome them” exposes the neo-church’s ecclesiological heresy. True Catholic welcome requires conversion from error, not accommodation. As Pius IX decreed: “It is not lawful for bishops to publish even letters Apostolic without the permission of Government” (Syllabus of Errors, Prop. 28), yet these usurpers perform illicit rites in occupied churches.
Omissions That Condemn
Nowhere does the article mention:
1. The necessity of the Tridentine Mass for valid sacramental life
2. The anathema against religious liberty (Quanta Cura, 1864)
3. The apostate nature of “Pope” Leo XIV’s invalid papacy (St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice)
4. The eternal flames awaiting unrepentant Modernists (Council of Trent, Session 6, Canon 15)
This silence confirms the conciliar sect’s complete rupture from Catholic Tradition. As the Defense of Sedevacantism file proves: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope” (John of St. Thomas). The true Holy Door remains the Sacred Heart of Jesus—accessible only through the immemorial Mass and integral doctrine.
