Conciliar Sect’s Ratzinger Foundation Advances Neo-Modernist Agenda
The EWTN News portal (January 28, 2026) reports the appointment of “Fr.” Roberto Regoli as president of the Joseph Ratzinger-Benedict XVI Vatican Foundation. The article describes the foundation’s mission to propagate the writings of the conciliar antipope Joseph Ratzinger, awarding prizes to theologians who promote his thought. This elevation of a chief architect of Vatican II’s apostasy demonstrates the conciliar sect’s systematic replacement of Catholic theology with modernist heresies.
Canonization of Heretical Thought Through Institutional Means
The foundation’s stated purpose—”promot[ing] the publication, dissemination, and study of Ratzinger’s writings”—constitutes formal approbation of doctrines condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907): “Modernists pass judgment on the Church… They accuse her of being exclusively attached to immutable formulas, while the whole world is moving forward” (n. 27). By establishing an organization to perpetuate Ratzinger’s thought, the Vatican antipopes institutionalize the very evolutionary dogma condemned as “the synthesis of all heresies” (Pius X, Pascendi, n. 39).
Regoli claims Ratzinger’s legacy “is very much alive — pastorally as well — as a source of inspiration and a sure guide for many personal journeys of conversion around the world.”
This blasphemous assertion ignores Pius VI’s condemnation in Auctorem Fidei (1794): “The proposition which states that to the Church’s teaching office does not pertain the judgment about the necessity of the things revealed… is heretical” (n. 6). The conciliar sect substitutes personal “conversion journeys” for the Church’s divine mandate to teach definitive truth.
Continuation of Vatican II’s Subversion Through Academic Networks
The foundation’s “scientific committee” includes notorious modernists like “Cardinal” Kurt Koch and “Archbishop” Bruno Forte—architects of ecumenical apostasy. Their presence confirms Pius X’s warning that modernist theologians “favor the introduction of a new philosophy in the Church… which will ultimately result in the elimination of all religion” (Pascendi, n. 6). The Ratzinger Prize awarded to figures like Cyril O’Regan and Francesc Torralba Roselló exemplifies this, as their works promote Hegelian dialectics over Thomistic theology.
Naturalization of the Supernatural Order
The foundation’s funding structure—”income linked to copyrights on Ratzinger’s published works and by donations”—reduces divine truth to intellectual property, violating Canon 1380 of the 1917 Code which forbids clergy from engaging in commerce. This commercialization fulfills Pius IX’s condemnation in the Syllabus of Errors: “The Church has no innate and legitimate right of acquiring and possessing property” (n. 26).
Regoli asserts Ratzinger’s thought “still has much to say” and could make a meaningful contribution to contemporary theological and cultural debates.
This statement epitomizes the conciliar sect’s heresy of dogmatic evolution, explicitly condemned by the Holy Office under Pius XII: “If anyone says that dogmatic formulas… can be changed according to the necessary emergence of new understanding… let him be anathema” (Humani Generis, 1950, n. 21). The idea that theological truth evolves through “debate” constitutes apostasy from the Catholic principle that “the deposit of faith is given to the Church as a divine trust to be faithfully guarded and infallibly interpreted” (Vatican I, Dei Filius, Ch. 4).
Omission of Ratzinger’s Heretical Legacy
The article conspicuously avoids Ratzinger’s explicit denials of Catholic dogma:
1. Rejection of Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus (Dominus Iesus, 2000)
2. Denial of the propitiatory nature of the Mass (Spirit of the Liturgy, 2000)
3. Promotion of false ecumenism through the Assisi abominations (1986, 2002, 2011)
These omissions confirm the foundation’s purpose: to sanitize heresy through academic repackaging—precisely the modernist tactic described in Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane: “The dogmas which the Church proposes as revealed are not truths of divine origin but are interpretations of religious facts” (n. 22).
Conclusion: Apostasy Institutionalized
The Ratzinger Foundation embodies the conciliar sect’s final rebellion against Catholic truth. As Pius XI warned in Quas Primas (1925): “When God and Jesus Christ are removed from laws and states, the foundations of authority are destroyed”. By establishing a perpetual institution to disseminate Ratzinger’s modernist errors, the Vatican antipopes fulfill St. Paul’s prophecy: “There shall be a time when they will not endure sound doctrine… and will turn away their hearing from the truth” (2 Timothy 4:3-4). The only orthodox response remains that of St. Paul: “Though we or an angel from heaven preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema” (Galatians 1:8).
