VaticanNews portal reports on a January 24, 2026 meeting between antipope Leo XIV and energy/mining executives from Latin America under the “Building Bridges Initiative” – a series of synodal encounters coordinated by the Pontifical Commission for Latin America (PCAL). The initiative claims to address “territorial needs and aspirations for care of our common home and decent work” through dialogue with academics, unions, and businesses, framed within the conciliar sect’s distorted interpretation of “socio-climatic justice.” This seventh meeting continues the program launched in 2022 under Bergoglio, now overseen by antipope Prevost (Leo XIV), who postpones Christ’s eternal Kingship for ecological utopianism.
Naturalism Replaces the Supernatural Mission
The entire premise of these dialogues constitutes a radical inversion of ends. Whereas the true Church exists ad salutem animarum (for the salvation of souls), this neo-ecclesial structure reduces religion to environmental activism and labor relations. Pius XI definitively condemned this inversion in Quas Primas: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony” (n. 19). Nowhere does the article mention grace, sin, or the Four Last Things – the silence itself being a modernistic heresy denying the transcendent finality of human existence.
“building bridges of inclusion with universities; bridges of reconciliation with labor unions… and bridges of fraternity with regional episcopal and ecclesial conferences.”
This false irenicism violates the Church’s immutable stance against indifferentism. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors condemned the proposition that “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion, in which form it is given to please God equally as in the Catholic Church” (Error 18). By extension, dialogue implying parity between the Church and secular entities constitutes apostasy. The term “synodal encounters” further exposes the revolutionary spirit – true synods (syntheros) being strictly hierarchical assemblies of bishops, not egalitarian gabfests with mining executives.
Masonic Vocabulary Betrays Theological Subversion
The article’s language drips with naturalistic presuppositions alien to Catholic thought:
- “Just transition”: A Marxist term denoting wealth redistribution under ecological pretexts, condemned by Pius XI in Quadragesimo Anno as violating the principle of subsidiarity (n. 79)
- “Critical minerals”: Idolatrous elevation of material resources over spiritual goods – a violation of the First Commandment
- “Socio-climatic justice”: Pseudoscientific construct replacing divine judgment with environmental determinism
St. Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane explicitly condemned the modernist error that “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Error 20). This meeting operationalizes that heresy by treating ecological concerns as divine revelation, evidenced by the blasphemous citation of John 10:10 (“abundant life”) to justify mineral extraction policies.
Conciliar Sect’s Structural Apostasy
The PCAL – established under the antipope Bergoglio and now led by Prevost (Leo XIV) – functions as an arm of the conciliar antipararchy. Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code automatically deprives office from those who “publicly defect from the Catholic faith,” making Prevost’s presidential role over PCAL canonically nonexistent. The “Building Bridges Initiative” continues the anti-church’s pattern of:
- Substituting evangelization with sociology (cf. Pius XII’s warning against “exaggerated concern for the human element” in Humani Generis, n. 2)
- Equating the Magisterium with stakeholder consensus – condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi as the modernist belief that “the Church listening cooperates… in defining truths” (Error 6)
- Canonizing UN Sustainable Development Goals under theological veneers
Omission of Christ’s Kingship as Formal Heresy
The article’s repeated invocations of “Our Common Home” (Bergoglio’s eco-encyclical title) conspicuously avoid mentioning Christ’s social reign. This constitutes implicit denial of the dogma proclaimed in Quas Primas: “Nor is there any difference in this matter between the individual and the family or the State; for all men, whether collectively or individually, are under the dominion of Christ” (n. 18). By ignoring this, Prevost’s antipapacy advances the condemned error that “the Church has not the power of using force, nor has she any temporal power, direct or indirect” (Syllabus of Errors, Error 24).
The meeting’s focus on “territorial needs and aspirations” inverts the proper hierarchy of values. Pius XI warned in Divini Redemptoris that “no genuine cure can be furnished for this lamentable ruin of souls, which, so long as it continues, will frustrate all efforts to regenerate society” (n. 32). When mining executives receive greater Vatican attention than missionary martyrs, the conciliar sect proves its apostasy.
