The VaticanNews portal (November 8, 2025) reports on a videomessage from “Pope” Leo XIV to young people gathered at St. Elizabeth’s Cathedral in Košice, Slovakia. The antipope urges youth to become “witnesses of communion” and “builders of bridges” in a world marked by division, encouraging them to bring the “light of Christ” to secular environments without specifying the necessity of conversion to the one true Church. The event featured a Mass celebrated by conciliar “Archbishop” Bernard Bober and modernist “Apostolic Nuncio” Nicola Girasoli, followed by a concert with a Portuguese DJ “priest” who performed at the 2023 World Youth Day. This spectacle epitomizes the conciliar sect’s systematic replacement of Catholic asceticism with worldly entertainment masquerading as evangelization.
Theological Subversion Through Naturalistic Language
The antipope’s call to be “builders of bridges” constitutes a direct assault on the Church’s missionary mandate. When he states that “Jesus calls you to be witnesses of communion”, this deliberately vague terminology subverts the dogmatic teaching that extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (outside the Church there is no salvation). Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors explicitly condemns the notion that “the Church is not a true and perfect society, entirely free” (Prop. 19) and that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Prop. 80).
The conciliar sect’s obsession with “bridge building” ignores St. Paul’s warning: “Bear not the yoke with unbelievers. For what participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness?” (2 Cor 6:14). Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas establishes that Christ’s kingship demands not dialogue with error but the “restoration of the reign of our Lord” through the social reign of Christ the King, not interfaith compromise.
Sacramental Desecration and Liturgical Abuse
The event’s inclusion of a “DJ priest” performing alongside secular musical groups exposes the conciliar sect’s systematic profanation of sacred spaces. The Cathedral of Košice, described as a “beating heart of faith,” is reduced to a concert venue, violating the Council of Trent’s canons on sacred places (Session XXII, Chapter V). St. Pius X’s Lamentabili sane exitu condemns the modernist error that “the sacraments arose as a result of the interpretation by the Apostles or their successors of Christ’s thoughts” (Prop. 40), which underpins such sacrilegious innovations.
When the antipope claims the gathering shows “the youthful face of the Church,” he inverts reality. The true youthful face of the Church appears in martyrs like St. Maria Goretti, who chose death over impurity—not in degenerate spectacles where disc jockeys replace sacred chant. The Catechism of the Council of Trent teaches that sacred music must “excite the faithful to devotion” rather than entertain, making this event a manifestation of the “abomination of desolation” (Mt 24:15) in holy places.
Omission of Essential Catholic Doctrine
Nowhere does the message mention:
1. The necessity of sacramental confession to restore grace
2. The obligation to reject false religions
3. The duty to avoid occasions of sin in secular environments
4. The impending judgment for those who die in heresy or unrepentant mortal sin
This strategic silence confirms the conciliar sect’s adherence to the condemned proposition that “Christian doctrine was initially Jewish, but through gradual development became first Pauline, then Johannine, and finally Greek and universal” (Lamentabili, Prop. 60). The antipope’s exhortation to “live the Gospel with enthusiasm” becomes meaningless when stripped of its dogmatic content—a tactic condemned by St. Pius X as “the evolution of dogma” in Pascendi Dominici Gregis.
False Ecumenism and Apostate Clergy
“Archbishop” Bernard Bober’s participation exemplifies the conciliar hierarchy’s apostasy. As president of the Slovakian Episcopal Conference, he has permitted interfaith prayer services with Orthodox schismatics and Protestants, directly violating Pope Pius XI’s Mortalium Animos: “The union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it.”
The Apostolic Nuncio Nicola Girasoli’s presence reinforces this betrayal. As Benedict XV warned in Ad Beatissimi Apostolorum, ecclesiastical diplomacy must never compromise doctrine—a principle discarded when Vatican diplomats now facilitate the spread of religious indifferentism.
Conclusion: The Antichurch’s Program of Spiritual Suicide
This event epitomizes the conciliar sect’s fourfold heresy:
1. Religious Indifferentism: Treating Catholicism as one “bridge” among many (condemned by Gregory XVI’s Mirari Vos)
2. Naturalism: Reducing the faith to social activism (condemned by Pius IX’s Syllabus, Prop. 39)
3. Modernist Evolution: Redefining evangelization as worldly dialogue (condemned by St. Pius X’s Pascendi)
4. Apostolic Fraud: Using clerical titles to mask doctrinal bankruptcy (fulfilling 2 Thess 2:4’s warning of the “man of sin” exalting himself in God’s temple)
True Catholic youth formation occurs not through DJ concerts but through the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, daily Rosary, and uncompromising adherence to Tradition. As Pope Pius XII warned in Sacra Virginitas, “the world today is on fire”—extinguishing flames requires not bridges of compromise, but the floodwaters of orthodox doctrine that sweep away error.
