Catholic News Agency portal (January 22, 2026) reports on a message attributed to antipope Leo XIV urging French Catholic journalists to prioritize “human connection” and amplify “voices of the vulnerable” amid artificial intelligence’s rise. The text—signed by Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin—praises the late Fr. Jacques Hamel as a model of interreligious dialogue, while omitting any mention of Christ’s Social Kingship or the Church’s exclusive mediatory role. This effusive focus on horizontal relationships constitutes yet another surrender to anthropocentric modernism.
Naturalization of the Church’s Mission
The message’s insistence that Catholic media serve “everyone, including those who do not believe” directly contravenes the extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (outside the Church there is no salvation) principle defined at the Council of Florence (1442). Pius IX’s Quanto conficiamur (1863) explicitly condemned the notion that “men may find the way of eternal salvation” outside Catholic unity. By framing journalism as an instrument for generic “good relations” rather than conversion of souls, the conciliar sect reduces the Church to a humanitarian NGO.
“The service to truth that Catholic media can offer everyone, including those who do not believe.”
This statement embodies the religious indifferentism condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864), which rejected the idea that “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Proposition 18). The message’s silence on proselytism reveals its adherence to Vatican II’s Nostra Aetate apostasy—a document never cited but whose poison permeates every word.
Undermining the Primacy of Supernatural Truth
When the text urges journalists to be “sowers of good words” seeking “reconciliation” in a “fragmented and polarized” world, it employs the conciliar sect’s trademark equivocation. St. Pius X’s Pascendi (1907) exposed how modernists redefine “peace” as coexistence with error, abandoning the Church’s duty to “teach the truth” (John 18:37). True reconciliation requires abjuring heresy—not the false irenicism promoted here.
The praise for Fr. Hamel—murdered by Islamic terrorists—as a promoter of “interreligious dialogue” distorts the nature of martyrdom. Traditional martyrology requires odium fidei (hatred of the faith) as the motive for martyrdom. By contrast, this narrative transforms Hamel into a witness for ecumenical syncretism, ignoring his killers’ theological motivations. Pius XI’s Mortalium Animos (1928) condemned such dialogue as “wholly opposed to the Church’s divine constitution.”
Technological Utopianism vs. Eschatological Reality
The message’s preoccupation with AI’s “rise” reflects the neo-church’s enslavement to temporal concerns. Nowhere does it recall Pius XII’s warning that technological progress without submission to Christ the King becomes “an instrument of death” (Christmas Message, 1953). While legitimate media tools exist, the emphasis on “human connection” through technology ignores the supernatural communion achieved solely through valid sacraments—which the conciliar sect’s invalid rites cannot provide.
The call to amplify “voices of the vulnerable” employs Marxist class warfare rhetoric foreign to Catholic social teaching. Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum (1891) affirmed the hierarchical nature of society, warning against exploiting the poor for ideological ends. True Catholic charity requires leading souls to the Fount of Grace—not reducing them to political symbols.
Theological Vacuum as Dogma
Most damningly, the message contains zero references to:
- The propitiatory Sacrifice of the Mass (replaced by Hamel’s murder site as a dialogue monument)
- The necessity of grace for salvation (obscured by vague “joy of feeling loved”)
- The Social Kingship of Christ (supplanted by anthropocentric “relationships”)
This omission fulfills St. Pius X’s prophecy that modernists would create “a new religion of man” (Pascendi, 40). When the text applauds “disarming hearts filled with hatred,” it subtly condemns militancy for truth—the very virtue that fueled saints like Athanasius and Joan of Arc against heretics.
As the conciliar sect accelerates its apostasy, faithful Catholics recall Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925): “When men recognize Christ’s royal dignity, societies will receive unheard-of blessings.” Until Rome’s occupiers submit to that Kingship, their messages remain but “sounding brass” (1 Cor 13:1)—empty noise in service to the Father of Lies.
