Vatican News Promotes Apostate “Pope’s” Naturalistic Response to Portuguese Storm
The Vatican News portal (January 31, 2026) reports that antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) sent a telegram expressing “spiritual closeness” to victims of Storm Kristin in Portugal through his “cardinal” secretary of state Pietro Parolin. The message praises “ecclesial organisations” and civil authorities while invoking the false apparition of “Our Lady of Fatima.” The article exemplifies how the conciliar sect replaces supernatural faith with humanitarian spectacle while promoting theological errors condemned by Pope St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907).
Reduction of the Church’s Mission to Naturalistic Humanism
The telegram substitutes Catholic doctrine with secular crisis management language, speaking of “the balm of solidarity” rather than calling for repentance. Pius XI condemned this inversion of priorities in Quas Primas (1925): “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.” The message’s focus on material recovery (“extensive damage,” “infrastructure,” “electricity supply”) ignores the Church’s sole mission – the salvation of souls.
Not once does the text mention:
- The necessity of sacraments for eternal salvation
- The obligation to make acts of contrition during disasters
- God’s permission of calamities as divine chastisement
This silence constitutes implicit denial of the Church’s raison d’être, reducing her to a humanitarian NGO – precisely the error condemned in proposition 40 of Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864): “The teaching of the Catholic Church is hostile to the well-being and interests of society.”
Illicit Appeal to False Apparition
The invocation of “Our Lady of Fátima” constitutes formal participation in a Masonic deception. As documented in the theological analysis of false Fatima apparitions:
**The name ‘Fatima’: a symbol of Christian-Islamic syncretism… The miracle of the Sun: mass optical manipulation (natural phenomenon) and mass panic and autosuggestion.**
True Catholic devotion rejects all post-1900 Marian apparitions as suspect, particularly those promoting universalist errors like Fatima’s “conversion of Russia” without specifying conversion to Catholicism. Pius X’s Holy Office decreed in Lamentabili Sane (1907) that “the interpretation of Holy Scripture given by the Church… is nevertheless subject to more exact judgments and corrections by exegetes” (proposition 2) – a modernist error now applied to private revelations.
Ecumenical Betrayal in Disaster Response
The praise for “civil, military, and religious institutions that are joining together to provide assistance” constitutes indifferentism. The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 1258) absolutely forbids active participation in non-Catholic worship or collaborative ministries. Pius IX’s Syllabus explicitly condemns the idea that “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (proposition 18).
The conciliar sect’s disaster response follows the modernist playbook:
- Equate Catholic charity with secular relief efforts
- Elevate natural virtue above supernatural grace
- Replace the Corpus Christi with the “body politic”
Symptomatic Omissions Revealing Apostasy
The telegram’s language exposes the conciliar sect’s abandonment of Catholicism:
- No mention of Christ the King – Replaced by vacuous “Christian hope”
- No call to prayer/penance – Only praise for human “solidarity”
- No distinction between true Church and false religions – All “religious institutions” equally valid
Compare this to authentic Catholic teaching from Pope Benedict XV during World War I: “When God is forgotten… then vain will be the help of armies, vain the courage of soldiers” (Ad Beatissimi Apostolorum, 1914). The conciliar message inverts this hierarchy, implying material recovery precedes spiritual healing.
Conclusion: Disaster as Vehicle for Modernist Agenda
This incident exemplifies how the Vatican II sect exploits tragedies to:
- Normalize religious indifferentism through interfaith relief efforts
- Promote false apparitions condemned by pre-1958 theology
- Replace the Social Kingship of Christ with humanitarian socialism
As Pope St. Pius X warned: “The Modernist sustains and falls within the errors of all the heresies” (Pascendi, 19). Until the Roman See is occupied by a true pope, such blasphemies will continue masquerading as Catholic teaching.
