VaticanNews portal reports that the conciliar sect’s usurper, Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), has sent a telegram to the Turin International Book Fair (May 14–18, 2026), read aloud by the fair’s director at the opening ceremony. The message, dispatched by Cardinal Pietro Parolin to Archbishop Roberto Repole, calls for literature to become a “school of fraternity and peace,” promoting human dignity, especially for children, whom Leo XIV describes as bearers of hope amid “the horror of war” and “the chill of indifference.” The telegram echoes remarks made earlier in May to the Vatican Publishing House, where the usurper urged reading as an “antidote to closed-mindedness” and “fundamentalisms.” The article closes with a fundraising appeal. That such a message could be issued by the occupant of the Apostolic See — substituting naturalistic humanism for the supernatural mission of the Church — is itself a confirmation that the abomination of desolation continues to desecrate the House of God.
A “School of Fraternity” Without the Kingship of Christ
The central claim of Leo XIV’s telegram is that literature must become “a school of fraternity and peace” and must “help recognize the dignity of every person, especially the most vulnerable.” These phrases, draped in the veneer of compassion, are in substance a restatement of the conciliar sect’s foundational heresy: the reduction of the Church’s mission to naturalistic humanitarianism, stripped of all supernatural content.
Fraternity, in the mouth of Leo XIV, is not the supernatural fraternity of the children of God through Baptism and the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It is the Masonic fraternity of the French Revolution — Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité — baptized with a thin Christian coating. Pope Pius XI, in the encyclical Quas Primas (December 11, 1925), established with crystalline clarity that peace is only possible in the Kingdom of Christ: “The hope of lasting peace will not yet shine upon nations as long as individuals and states renounce and do not wish to recognize the reign of our Savior.” The usurper’s call for “fraternity and peace” without once mentioning the Kingship of Christ, the necessity of conversion to the Catholic Faith, or the social reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ over nations, is not merely an omission — it is a deliberate inversion of Catholic doctrine. As Pius XI further declared: “When God and Jesus Christ were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.”
The message speaks of “the horror of war” and “the chill of indifference,” but remains superbly silent on the only true remedy: the restoration of the social reign of Christ the King, the return of nations to the obedience of the Catholic Church, and the conversion of souls to the true Faith. This is the hallmark of every conciliar utterance — a humanitarianism that weeps over effects while refusing to name the cause, which is the rejection of God’s laws and the apostasy of nations.
Children as Idols: The Cult of Innocence Without Baptism
Leo XIV’s telegram singles out children as those who “with their innate ability to see the world with fresh eyes, ignite a light of hope in society.” The reference to Elsa Morante’s The World Saved by Kids as the fair’s theme is not accidental — it reveals the Gnostic-existentialist underpinning of the conciliar mentality. The “innocence” of children is elevated to a salvific principle, a secularized parody of Our Lord’s words: “Unless you be converted and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 18:3).
But Our Lord spoke of conversion — of the supernatural rebirth through Baptism and the state of sanctifying grace. Leo XIV speaks of “innate ability,” a purely naturalistic category. There is no mention of original sin, no mention of Baptism, no mention of the necessity of the Faith for salvation. The child is presented as a savior-figure, a bearer of immanent hope, precisely the cult of man condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907) as the very essence of Modernism: “The religious sense, which through the agency of vital immanence springs from the secrecy of the subconsciousness, is… the germ of all religion.”
This is the religion of the New Advent — a religion without dogma, without sacraments, without the Cross — where children replace Christ, and “hope” replaces grace.
“Antidote to Fundamentalism”: War on Catholic Truth
Perhaps the most revealing passage is Leo XIV’s earlier address to the Vatican Publishing House, where he urged reading as “an antidote to closed-mindedness, which manifests in rigid attitudes and reductive views of reality,” and as a guard “against fundamentalisms and ideological shortcuts.”
Let us decode this conciliar newspeak. In the lexicon of the post-conciliar sect, “fundamentalism” is the code word for the unchanging Catholic Faith — for the conviction that the Catholic Church is the only true Church, that outside her there is no salvation, that dogmas do not evolve, that the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the propitiatory sacrifice of Calvary perpetuated through the centuries, and that the social reign of Christ the King is not optional but obligatory for all nations. “Closed-mindedness” is the conciliar label for those who refuse the hermeneutics of rupture and the evolution of dogmas condemned by St. Pius X in Lamentabili sane exitu (1907), where proposition 58 was condemned: “Truth changes with man, because it develops with him, in him, and through him.”
The usurper’s call to guard against “rigid attitudes” is a direct assault on the virtue of fortitude and on the Church’s perennial teaching that the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3) is immutable. Pope Pius IX, in the Syllabus of Errors (1864), condemned under proposition 80 the very spirit that animates Leo XIV’s words: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization.” This is precisely what Leo XIV does — he reconciles the conciliar sect with the world, and brands fidelity to Tradition as “fundamentalism.”
The Omission That Condemns: Silence on the Supernatural
The entire telegram, and indeed the entire article, is characterized by a total absence of supernatural reality. There is no mention of God, of Christ the King, of the Most Blessed Sacrament, of the sacraments, of prayer, of grace, of the Church’s mission to save souls, of the necessity of conversion to the Catholic Faith, of the Last Judgment, of hell, or of heaven. The “dignity of every person” is invoked, but not the dignity of being created in the image and likeness of God and called to supernatural beatitude. “Peace” is invoked, but not the peace of Christ, which comes only through obedience to His laws and His Church.
This silence is not accidental — it is theological. It is the silence of the abomination of desolation foretold by Our Lord: “The abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (Matt. 24:15). The conciliar sect occupies the physical structures of the Vatican while emptying them of all Catholic content. It speaks of “culture” and “dialogue” and “concord” — but these are the culture, dialogue, and concord of the world, which, as St. John warns, “is seated in the prince of this world” (cf. John 12:31; 1 John 5:19).
Pope Pius XI, in Quas Primas, identified the root of society’s ills: “The plague of our times is the so-called laicism, its errors and wicked endeavors… It began with the denial of Christ the Lord’s reign over all nations.” Every word of Leo XIV’s telegram confirms this diagnosis. By promoting a “school of fraternity” without Christ the King, by exalting children without Baptism, by branding Catholic Truth as “fundamentalism,” the usurper proves himself not a shepherd of souls but an agent of the very secularism that the true Popes condemned as the synthesis of all heresies.
Conclusion: The Occupant Speaks, and the Faithful Recognize the Voice of a Stranger
Our Lord said: “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. But the voice of a stranger they do not follow, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers” (John 10:27-28). The voice of Leo XIV — calling for fraternity without faith, hope without grace, peace without Christ the King, and culture without the supernatural — is the voice of a stranger. It is the voice of the conciliar sect, which has occupied the Vatican since 1958 and which, in the words of the False Fatima Apparitions file, represents a “tool to divert attention from modernism” and a “potential Masonic psychological operation against the Church.”
The faithful who profess the integral Catholic faith — the faith of the unchanging Magisterium, of the Council of Trent, of Quas Primas, of the Syllabus of Errors, of Lamentabili — recognize this voice for what it is. They do not follow it. They fly from it. And they persevere in the true Faith, awaiting the restoration of the social reign of Christ the King, “whose kingdom shall have no end” (Luke 1:33).
