Vatican News portal reports on an address given by “Pope” Leo XIV during his general audience, wherein he warns against “fundamentalist or spiritualist readings” of Scripture. The usurper of the Apostolic See insists biblical texts must be read through the prism of their historical context and human authorship, declaring: “To renounce the study of the human words that God used risks leading to fundamentalist or spiritualist readings of Scripture.” His manifesto culminates in the modernist axiom that “the Church is called to repropose the Word of God in a language capable of being embodied in history” – a complete inversion of Catholicism’s immutable doctrinal edifice.
Theological Sabotage Through Historicism
The conciliar sect’s leader propagates the condemned error of historicism by reducing Sacred Scripture to mere human discourse, claiming biblical texts were “written in human languages” by authors merely “inspired by the Holy Spirit.” This directly contradicts the dogmatic constitution Dei Filius of Vatican I (1870), which proclaims: “The Church holds them as sacred and canonical not because having been composed by human industry they were afterwards approved by her authority… but because written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, they have God for their author.” (DB 1787)
When the antipope declares Scripture risks becoming “uncommunicative or anachronistic” unless stripped of its transcendent nature, he commits three heresies condemned by Pope Pius X in Lamentabili sane exitu (1907):
1. “Divine inspiration does not extend to the whole of Holy Scripture” (Proposition 11)
2. “The Church listening cooperates with the Church teaching in defining truths” (Proposition 6)
3. “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20)
Naturalism Disguised as Pastoral Adaptation
The usurper’s insistence that Scripture must be “reproposed” in modern language “to touch human hearts” exposes the conciliar sect’s core heresy: naturalism. By prioritizing emotional resonance over doctrinal precision, “Leo XIV” implements the modernist program condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Proposition 80).
This naturalistic reduction transforms the Gospel into what Pius XI condemned as “a mere philanthropic or social message” (Quas Primas), precisely the error the antipope disingenuously claims to reject while promoting it. The conciliar sect’s perpetual “reproposing” of doctrine constitutes what St. Pius X identified as the modernist belief that “truth changes with man, because it develops with him” (Lamentabili, Proposition 58).
Omission of Divine Inerrancy and Ecclesial Guardianship
The address conspicuously avoids any mention of Scripture’s inerrancy – a non-negotiable dogma defined by Leo XIII in Providentissimus Deus (1893): “It is impossible that God Himself, the Supreme Truth, could utter that which is not true.” This deliberate silence facilitates the conciliar sect’s project of doctrinal dissolution.
Moreover, the usurper’s false dichotomy between “fundamentalism” and his historicist method ignores the Church’s perennial hermeneutic: Scripture must be interpreted “according to the unanimous consent of the Fathers” (Vatican I, DB 1788). The conciliar sect replaces this divine safeguard with the very subjectivism condemned in the Syllabus: “Human reason is the sole arbiter of truth” (Proposition 3).
Subversion of the Apostolic Mission
When the antipope claims the Church’s mission is to make Scripture “embodied in history,” he inverts Christ’s command to baptize all nations (Matthew 28:19), replacing the conversion of souls with worldly accommodation. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas explicitly condemns this inversion: “When God and Jesus Christ are removed from laws and states, the foundations of authority are destroyed… peace will not yet shine upon nations.”
The address’s culminating exhortation – that believers ensure their “lives do not obscure the love of God” – epitomizes the conciliar sect’s Pelagianism. It reduces salvation to moralism rather than the sola gratia taught by the Council of Trent (Session 6, Canon 2), implicitly denying the necessity of sacramental grace and the Church’s mediatory role.
Ratzinger’s Toxic Legacy Realized
This manifesto constitutes the full flowering of the “hermeneutic of continuity” heresy pioneered by the apostate Joseph Ratzinger. His 1988 declaration that “the Church must assimilate the Enlightenment” (Church, Ecumenism and Politics) finds its logical conclusion in “Leo XIV’s” demand to reinterpret Scripture through historical-critical lenses. The conciliar sect has now institutionalized what St. Pius X identified as the modernist belief that “faith is based on a sum of probabilities” (Lamentabili, Proposition 25).
As Our Lord warned: “Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up” (Matthew 15:13). The conciliar sect’s systematic dismantling of divine revelation will meet its eschatological judgment when Christ the King returns to claim His throne.
