Anti-Pope’s Empty Gestures in Rupnik Scandal Mask Deeper Apostasy
Portal Catholic News Agency (November 4, 2025) reports that antipope Leo XIV urged “patience” from victims of Marko Rupnik while defending the latter’s “rights” during an exchange outside the Castel Gandolfo residence. The article details how the Vatican’s “Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith” appointed five judges to examine abuse allegations against Rupnik – a modernist artist-priest expelled from the Jesuit order in 2023 but protected by conciliar sect structures. Leo XIV notably invoked secular legal principles (“innocent until proven guilty”) while acknowledging demands to remove Rupnik’s blasphemous mosaics from churches. This performative concern for “justice” masks the neo-church’s systemic corruption rooted in its rejection of divine law.
Naturalistic Justice Replaces Divine Judgment
The antipope’s appeal to “the rights of all people” and “processes for justice” exposes the conciliar sect’s embrace of Enlightenment naturalism. Quas Primas (Pius XI, 1925) established that Christ the King demands societies “obey God’s laws and commandments” rather than human legal frameworks. By transplanting secular courtroom terminology (“judges,” “trial,” “rights”) into ecclesiastical matters, the Vatican occupiers commit sacrilege against Christ’s royal jurisdiction. The Syllabus of Errors (Pius IX, 1864) explicitly condemned the notion that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55) – precisely what occurs when canon law is subordinated to worldly “due process.”
“The principle of innocent until proven guilty is also true in the Church,” he added.
This statement constitutes formal heresy. Ecclesiastical tribunals operate under canon 188.4 (1917 Code), which holds that public heretics automatically lose office without judicial declaration. Rupnik’s “stubborn refusal to observe the vow of obedience” (per the Jesuits) and alleged sacramental crimes manifest notoria heresis – requiring no trial. The antipope’s insistence on protracted legalism proves his sect lacks divine authority, for as St. Robert Bellarmine decreed: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope or a member of the Church” (De Romano Pontifice).
Sacramental Desecration Concealed Behind Artistic Controversy
The article obsesses over Rupnik’s mosaics while ignoring the true scandal: sacrileges against the Holy Eucharist. As a modernist “priest” ordained with the invalid Novus Ordo rite post-1968, Rupnik’s “Masses” lack the ex opere operato validity required by Trent. His “absolving an accomplice in a sin against the Sixth Commandment” compounds this through simulated sacraments – making his “excommunication” and subsequent “lifting” by antipope Francis juridical theater. The conciliar sect’s refusal to annul Rupnik’s “ordinations” confirms its apostasy, fulfilling Pius X’s warning in Lamentabili Sane (1907) against those who “reduce sacraments to philosophical investigations.”
There is also no warning that receiving “Communion” from conciliar sect clergy constitutes material participation in sacrilege. The Syllabus condemned the error that “the entire government of public schools… may and ought to appertain to the civil power” (Error 45) – yet the neo-church now applies this same secularism to sacramental discipline. By focusing on “removing artwork” instead of restoring valid sacraments, the Vatican occupiers reveal their true concern: public relations over souls.
Theological Vacuum Nurtures Predators
The Rupnik case emerges from the conciliar sect’s dismantling of Catholic asceticism. His alleged “sexual, psychological, and spiritual abuse” reflects the Jansenist rigorism condemned in the “False Fatima Apparitions” dossier, where “mortifications… bear the marks of Jansenist rigorism, not Catholic asceticism.” When modernist clergy abandon exomologesis (public penance) and the sacramentum ordinis, they create environments where predators flourish under “spiritual care” facades. The article’s repeated references to “consecrated women” omit that post-conciliar “religious life” – stripped of enclosure, habits, and vows – fosters such abuses.
Lamentabili Sane prophetically condemned the modernist error that “the Church listening cooperates… in defining truths of faith” (Error 6). The conciliar sect’s “Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors” exemplifies this heresy by prioritizing victims’ “sensitivity” over doctrinal truth. True justice requires restoring the Canon Episcopi principle that “manifest crimes must be punished manifestly” – not subjected to endless “processes.”
Conclusion: Neo-Church’s Bankruptcy Laid Bare
Leo XIV’s empty pleas for “patience” cannot conceal the conciliar sect’s ontological incapacity for justice. Having rejected Christ’s Social Kingship (Quas Primas), they substitute pagan legalism. Having invalidated Holy Orders, they cannot administer valid sacraments or excommunications. Having embraced Modernism (Pascendi Dominici Gregis), they reduce faith to therapeutic “accompaniment.” The Rupnik scandal isn’t an aberration but the inevitable fruit of the “abomination of desolation” occupying Rome since 1958. Until the apostate structures are abandoned and true bishops with valid orders restore discipline, such horrors will multiply – for “unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it” (Psalm 127:1).
