Vatican’s Maintenance Praise Exposes Apostate Priorities
VaticanNews portal (February 8, 2026) reports on an encounter between the antipope Robert Prevost (“Leo XIV”) and staff of the Vatican’s Floreria and Building Office. The article emphasizes their “discreet and precious service” in maintaining decorum during the 2025 Jubilee Year, noting their role in ensuring “orderly” pilgrim access to St. Peter’s Basilica. Prevost reportedly praised their logistical work as supporting “the pastoral mission of the Church,” while urging them to remember that “faith and prayer give full meaning to everything we do.” This theatrical gesture exemplifies the conciliar sect’s substitution of supernatural Catholicism with naturalistic busywork.
Illegitimate Authority Masquerading as Shepherds
The article’s central premise – that a usurper of the Apostolic See can legitimately commend workers maintaining Vatican properties – collapses under scientia theologica. As Pope Pius XII decreed in Vacantis Apostolicae Sedis (1945), no authority resides in the Vatican during a vacancy of the Holy See. Since the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958, all subsequent claimants have been manifest heretics lacking jurisdiction. Canon 188 §4 of the 1917 Code confirms: “Any office becomes vacant by tacit resignation recognized by law itself if a cleric… publicly defects from the Catholic faith.” Prevost’s praise for maintaining “spaces reserved for meetings and prayer with the Pope” constitutes blasphemy, as he occupies Peter’s chair illegitimately. True Catholics recognize the Vatican structures as occupied territory under sede vacante conditions.
Reduction of the Church’s Mission to Naturalistic Humanism
Prevost’s statement that technical services find “their highest meaning in supporting… the pastoral mission of the Church” inverts Catholic priorities. Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925) established that Christ’s Kingship demands the subordination of all human activities to the divine law: “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 article’s focus on crowd management and structural integrity exposes the conciliar sect’s materialist worldview. Not a single mention is made of:
- The necessity of sacraments for salvation
- The Four Last Things (Death, Judgment, Heaven, Hell)
- Reparation for blasphemies committed in Vatican venues
This silence proves the operation follows Masonic principles described in the Syllabus of Errors (1864), which condemned the notion that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55). By treating St. Peter’s as merely a “calling card of welcome” rather than urbs sacra where the Bloodless Sacrifice renews Calvary, the Vatican apparatus reduces Catholicism to a tourist enterprise.
Sacrilegious “Jubilee” Reveals Apostate Foundations
The article boasts that workers enabled millions to pass through the “Holy Door” during the “recently concluded Jubilee Year.” This confirms the conciliar sect’s abandonment of ex opere operato sacramental theology. True Jubilees require:
- Public profession of Catholic Faith (Professio fidei Tridentina)
- Sacramental confession to a validly ordained priest
- Reception of Holy Communion in state of grace
- Prayers for the Supreme Pontiff’s intentions (impossible since 1958)
As the False Fatima Apparitions dossier notes, modernist “jubilees” replace metanoia with “spectacular acts” divorced from sanctifying grace. The article’s claim that pilgrims participated “fruitfully” in liturgical celebrations constitutes sacrilege – given that the Novus Ordo Missae violates Pope Pius V’s Quo Primum (1570), which forbade altering the Mass “in perpetuity.”
Spiritual Decay Behind Aesthetic Facade
Prevost’s exhortation that “faith and prayer give full meaning to everything we do” rings hollow amid the Vatican’s systematic dismantling of Catholic doctrine. His appeal to “testify to the Gospel according to the command of the Lord” directly contradicts his sect’s adherence to the apostate Nostra Aetate (1965), which equates Catholicism with false religions. St. Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (1907) condemned precisely this relativism: “Truth changes with man, because it develops with him, in him, and through him” (Error 58). The maintenance staff’s polished marble floors and floral arrangements serve as Potemkin villages masking the rot of heresy. True beauty in sacred spaces exists only where the Immemorial Mass is offered by priests in communion with Rome’s perpetual Magisterium – not in occupied territories governed by usurpers.
The True Temple: Souls Sanctified by Grace
While the article fixates on physical structures, Catholic ecclesiology teaches that the Church’s true edifice consists of souls in sanctifying grace (1 Cor 3:16-17). Pope Pius XI’s Miserentissimus Redemptor (1928) emphasized: “The Church, which is the society of the redeemed, lives by the prayers and sacrifices of her children.” No amount of well-manicured gardens or repaired facades can substitute for the sine qua non of Catholic life: valid sacraments administered by priests with facultas ab Ordinario according to traditional rites. Until the conciliar usurpers repent and restore the integral Faith, their maintenance projects remain spiritual tomb-building – whitewashed sepulchers housing dead bones (Matt 23:27).
