Apostolic Mockery: Vatican’s Abuse “Dialogue” Ignores Sacramental Justice
Catholic News Agency reports that antipope “Leo XIV” met with 15 “abuse survivors” on November 5, 2025, in a three-hour encounter described as “closeness with the victims, of deep and painful listening and dialogue,” concluding with “an intense moment of prayer.” This follows an October 20 meeting with four “survivors” from the “Ending Clergy Abuse” coalition. The article frames these encounters as pastoral breakthroughs while omitting all reference to sacramental repentance, canonical penalties, or the lex divina (divine law) governing clerical crimes.
Naturalism Masquerading as Pastoral Care
The report’s therapeutic language—”listening,” “dialogue,” “closeness”—reveals a modernist anthropology reducing grave sacrilege to interpersonal conflict. Pius XI condemned this inversion in Quas Primas: “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.” True pastoral care requires:
- Public amende honorable by guilty clergy
- Canonical trials under 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 2359 §2)
- Reparation for scandal through Eucharistic adoration and penance
Instead, “Leo XIV” offers psychological dialogue—a betrayal echoing Paul VI’s 1971 Octogesima Adveniens error: “In the face of such widely varying situations it is difficult for us to utter a unified message.”
Theological Vacuum in Abuse Response
“an intense moment of prayer shared between the pope and the survivors”
This saccharine description omits the sine qua non of spiritual healing: sacramental confession for perpetrators and ex opere operato grace for victims. The Council of Trent (Session XIV, Chapter 4) declares: “For the integrity of the confession, it is necessary that the penitent confess all mortal sins which, after diligent self-examination, he remembers.” Where are demands for:
- Defrocking of predator “clergy”?
- Restitution to victims per Canon 1743?
- Repudiation of homosexual networks enabling abuse (as documented in Cardinal Gomá’s 1936 Collective Letter of the Spanish Episcopate)?
Ecclesiological Subversion
The article uncritically promotes “Ending Clergy Abuse”—an organization demanding lay oversight of clergy, contradicting Pius X’s Vehementer Nos (1906): “The Church is essentially an unequal society… comprising two categories of persons: the pastors and the flock.” Nowhere does “Leo XIV” affirm:
- Canon 2220 §2: Clerics incur automatic excommunication for solicitation in confession
- 1917 Code Canon 2359: Mandatory laicization for abuse
- Pius XI’s Ad Catholici Sacerdotii (1935): “The priest must be a shining example to the flock“
Symptomatic of Conciliar Apostasy
These meetings continue Vatican II’s revolution against regnum Christi (Christ’s kingship). The 1929 Divini Illius Magistri established Catholic education’s immunity from state interference—yet post-conciliar “bishops” surrendered schools to secular oversight, enabling abuse cover-ups. The “dialogue” charade follows:
- 1969 Novus Ordo‘s destruction of sacramental awe
- 1983 Code’s weakening of canonical penalties (Canon 1395 §2)
- Bergoglio’s 2019 abuse summit elevating sociology over theology
St. Pius V’s Horrendum Illud Scelus (1568) prescribed death for clerical sodomy—now replaced with “intense moments of prayer” while predator “priests” remain active. Until the conciliar sect restores:
- Thomistic seminary formation (Optatam Totius repudiated it)
- Mandatory denunciation of abusive clergy to civil authorities (per 1917 Code Canon 1935)
- Excommunication of “bishops” enabling abuse (as in Council of Elvira Canon 21)
Such meetings remain satanic mockeries of justice.
