Vatican Diplomacy’s Capitulation to Secular Powers Exposed
EWTN News reports on the January 20, 2026 meeting between the antipope Leo XIV and Czech President Petr Pavel, framing it as a discussion about “democracy,” transatlantic tensions, and the release of a Czech citizen from Venezuela. The article praises the “extraordinary diplomatic reach” of the conciliar sect while omitting any reference to the Social Reign of Christ the King (Regnum Christi sociale). This omission exposes the apostate nature of the encounter.
The Betrayal of Christ’s Social Kingship
The assertion that “democratic countries are and should be natural partners” constitutes blasphemous substitution of human political systems for divine authority. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) explicitly condemned such naturalism: “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 antipope’s embrace of democracy as an ideal directly contradicts the Church’s perennial teaching that all nations must submit to Christ’s sovereignty, not Enlightenment-era political constructs condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (Errors 77-80).
Pavel warned of a possible split in the European Union if some member states “will prefer the principles of force” instead of adherence to “the values and principles on which the EU was founded.”
This reduction of moral discourse to “EU founding principles” ignores the lex divina (divine law) that governs nations. The true crisis lies not in geopolitical fractures, but in Europe’s collective apostasy from its Catholic roots – a reality documented in Pius XII’s allocutions but unmentioned in this diplomatic theater.
Diplomatic Charlatanism Masquerading as Peacemaking
The article celebrates the conciliar sect’s role in securing Jan Darmovzal’s release through negotiations with Venezuela’s regime. This exemplifies the fatal shift from spiritual weapons (prayer, sacraments, conversion) to worldly statecraft. Leo XIII’s Immortale Dei (1885) reminds us that the Church’s true mission is “to proclaim the way of salvation… and to communicate the divine favors,” not broker deals between atheistic regimes. The Vatican press release’s focus on “good bilateral relations” with the Czech Republic confirms the conciliar sect’s transformation into a NGO, abandoning its duty to demand the nation’s conversion to Catholicism as required by the Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus dogma.
Theological Omissions Reveal Apostate Foundations
Three critical silences condemn this encounter:
- No mention of Christ’s rights over nations – A direct violation of Quas Primas §18: “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.”
- No call for the Czech Republic’s conversion – Despite its 21.5% atheism rate (2021 census), the antipope failed to demand public repentance, instead inviting further sacrilege through a proposed visit.
- No distinction between true and false church – The article presents the conciliar sect as the Catholic Church, while true Catholics recognize it as the “abomination of desolation” (Daniel 9:27) occupying holy places.
President Pavel’s description of the antipope’s “very active” conflict resolution efforts exposes the conciliar sect’s heresy of horizontalism – reducing religion to social work while denying the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary as the sole source of true peace. St. Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (1907) condemned this Modernist tendency in Proposition 22: “The dogmas which the Church professes as revealed are not truths fallen from heaven… but a kind of interpretation of religious facts.”
Sacrilegious Presumption of Ecclesiastical Authority
The meeting’s very occurrence constitutes sacrilege, as antipope Leo XIV lacks jurisdiction. Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code states: “Any office becomes vacant by tacit resignation recognized by the law itself if a cleric… publicly defects from the Catholic faith.” The apostate “mass” and false sacraments administered by the conciliar sect confirm its defectibility. True Catholics recognize the sedevacantist position articulated by St. Robert Bellarmine: “A manifest heretic cannot be pope” (De Romano Pontifice, II.30).
This diplomatic charade continues the conciliar sect’s 70-year betrayal, reducing the Church Militant to a humanitarian agency while nations descend into moral chaos. As Pope Pius XI warned in Quas Primas §18: “When God and Jesus Christ are excluded from political life… human society is tottering to its fall.” Until nations kneel before Christ the King – not democratic idols or Vatican diplomats – no true peace can exist.
