Apostolic Journey or Ecumenical Betrayal? Scrutinizing the Turkey Visit of Vatican Usurper
EWTN News (November 24, 2025) reports growing anticipation among Turkey’s Christian communities for the visit of Robert Prevost, styling himself as “Pope Leo XIV”. The article highlights statements from individuals like Linda Tito, Bedri Diril, and Teodora Hacuni, who view this event as a “sign of unity” and ecumenical progress, particularly tied to the 1,700th anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea.
False Ecumenism as Replacement for Catholic Mission
The article’s central theme—“unity” with schismatic groups—directly violates the dogmatic teaching “extra Ecclesiam nulla salus” (outside the Church there is no salvation), defined infallibly at the Council of Florence (1442) and reaffirmed by Popes Pius IX (Syllabus of Errors, 1864) and Pius XII (Mystici Corporis, 1943). Bedri Diril’s claim that dialogue with the Orthodox will achieve “the unity of the one church in Christ Jesus” ignores the Catholic Church’s perpetual unity and instead promotes the heresy of pan-Christianism condemned by Pius XI in Mortalium Animos (1928):
“The unity of Christians cannot be otherwise fostered than by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it.”
Betrayal of Catholic Exclusivity for Naturalistic “Brotherhood”
Teodora Hacuni’s assertion that “Church unity is only possible if we accept each other as brothers and sisters” reduces the supernatural necessity of submission to Rome to a vague human fraternity. This echoes the Modernist heresy condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (1907), which rejected the notion that dogma evolves through human consciousness (Proposition 22). The article’s celebration of Santa Maria Church being granted to Orthodox Christians exemplifies apostasy: the Church’s properties exist solely for Catholic worship, not as bargaining chips for false unity.
Desecration of Nicaea’s Legacy
By framing the visit around the 1,700th anniversary of Nicaea I, the conciliar sect distorts history. The Council of Nicaea (325) defined Christ’s divinity against Arians—heretics analogous to today’s religious indifferentists. Yet the article omits that the Council’s canons demanded excommunication for those rejecting Catholic unity (Canon 8). Prevost’s pilgrimage to Nicaea while embracing schismatics constitutes a sacrilegious parody, reducing dogma to a sentimental anniversary.
Theological and Liturgical Implications of Apostasy
Linda Tito’s statement that meeting the antipope makes her “feel fully part of the universal Church” reveals the spiritual danger of recognizing false shepherds. True Catholic unity flows from valid sacraments and submission to Peter’s successor—impossible under a usurper who presides over the Novus Ordo Missae, declared invalid by theologians for its Protestantized rites (e.g., abolition of the Offertory). The article’s focus on “moral support” for minorities ignores the duty to convert non-Catholics, betraying Christ’s Great Commission (Matthew 28:19).
Silence on Supernatural Realities: The Unspoken Apostasy
Notably absent is any mention of converting Muslims or Orthodox to Catholicism, the necessity of the sacraments for salvation, or the Church’s exclusive mediation of grace. Instead, the narrative fixates on worldly “dialogue” and “cultural exchange,” exemplified by Mesude Künen’s miniature artwork—a symbol of how the conciliar sect replaces evangelization with aesthetic tokenism. This silence confirms Pius X’s warning: “The Modernist’s whole system is contained in the abolition of the supernatural order” (Pascendi Dominici Gregis, 1907).
Conclusion: A Pilgrimage of Perdition
Prevost’s visit embodies the conciliar revolution’s essence: replacing Catholic doctrine with a syncretistic humanism that worships “unity” above truth. As St. Pius X decreed, such ecumenism is “nothing but the means whereby [Modernists] aim to triumph over the Church” (Editae Saepe, 1910). True Catholics must reject this blasphemous theater and cling to the unchanging Faith—outside the counterfeit structures of the neo-church.
