Vatican News portal reports (June 2, 2026) that the usurper Robert Prevost, styling himself “Pope Leo XIV,” has issued a Chirograph dated June 1, 2026, establishing the “Fratello Sole” Foundation to implement an agrivoltaic (solar panel) installation on the extraterritorial area of Santa Maria di Galeria. The project, initially encouraged by the apostate Bergoglio in his 2024 Motu Proprio of the same name, aims to provide energy for Vatican Radio and ensure the “complete energy self-sufficiency of Vatican City State.” The cited article relates how this usurper invokes the pantheistic encyclical *Laudato Si’* and the *Motu Proprio Fratello Sole* to frame this energy project as a “sign of hope” and an example of “respecting and protecting the environment.” Sister Raffaella Petrini and Bishop Giordano Piccinotti are appointed to lead this foundation, which will operate under its own Statutes approved by the usurper. The article presents this bureaucratic energy initiative as if it were a spiritual endeavor, reducing the Church’s mission to environmental management and sustainable development. This is yet another confirmation that the conciliar sect has abandoned its supernatural mission in favor of naturalistic activism, becoming a mere NGO obsessed with earthly concerns while souls perish in error and sin.
The Replacement of the Supernatural with the Subnatural
The most glaring and spiritually catastrophic aspect of this entire “Fratello Sole” enterprise is what it reveals about the complete inversion of priorities within the structures occupying the Vatican. The Catholic Church was divinely instituted by Our Lord Jesus Christ for one supreme purpose: *to teach, govern, and lead all to eternal happiness* (Pius XI, encyclical *Quas Primas*). The salvation of souls — not the generation of electricity — is the *raison d’être* of the Church. Yet here we witness the occupant of the Apostolic See devoting his apostolic authority, issuing Chirographs, establishing Foundations, and promulgating Statutes, all for the purpose of installing solar panels. This is not merely a distraction from the Church’s mission; it is a **replacement of the supernatural order with the subnatural order**, a substitution of the eternal for the temporal, of grace for kilowatt-hours.
Pius XI taught with crystalline clarity in *Quas Primas*: “His reign, namely, extends not only to Catholic nations or to those who, by receiving baptism according to law, belong to the Church, even though their erroneous opinions have led them astray or discord has separated them from love, but His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ.” The royal dignity of Christ demands that the Church concern herself with the reign of Christ over minds, wills, hearts, and bodies — not with photovoltaic installations. When the “Vicar of Christ” concerns himself more with energy self-sufficiency than with the propagation of the Faith, the defense of dogma, or the condemnation of heresy, it is evident that **he has abdicated his sacred office in favor of worldly activism**.
The Pantheistic Foundation: Laudato Si’ as Anti-Magisterium
The article explicitly states that the Foundation operates “in accordance with the principles of environmental sustainability and care for our common home outlined in the Encyclical *Laudato Si’*, the Apostolic Exhortation *Laudate Deum*, the Motu Proprio *Fratello Sole*, and, more broadly, in the Church’s social teaching.” This admission alone constitutes a comprehensive indictment. The encyclical *Laudato Si’*, issued by the apostate Bergoglio, is not a legitimate exercise of the Magisterium but a document saturated with **pantheism, naturalism, and the errors condemned by Pius IX in the *Syllabus of Errors***.
Consider Proposition 1 of the *Syllabus*: “There exists no Supreme, all-wise, all-provident Divine Being, distinct from the universe, and God is identical with the nature of things, and is, therefore, subject to changes.” The environmental ideology enshrined in *Laudato Si’* effectively treats “our common home” — the material world — as an object of veneration, employing language that blurs the distinction between Creator and creation. When Bergoglio writes of “Mother Earth” and speaks of the environment in quasi-sacred terms, he approaches the pantheistic error that God is identical with the nature of things. The entire agrivoltaic project, framed as it is by this encyclical, is **built upon a foundation of doctrinal corruption**.
Furthermore, Proposition 4 of the *Syllabus* condemns the notion that “all the truths of religion proceed from the innate strength of human reason; hence reason is the ultimate standard by which man can and ought to arrive at the knowledge of all truths of every kind.” The environmental movement, as adopted by the conciliar sect, relies precisely upon human scientific consensus and secular reasoning as its ultimate authority, rather than upon Divine Revelation and the teaching of the Church. The “Fratello Sole” Foundation is thus a practical implementation of the very errors the Church once condemned.
The “Brother Sun” Idolatry: Franciscan Naturalism Perverted
The name “Fratello Sole” (Brother Sun) is taken from the *Canticle of the Sun* of St. Francis of Assisi, a hymn of praise to God *through* His creation. St. Francis sang of Brother Sun not as an end in itself but as a means of glorifying the Creator: “Be praised, my Lord, through all Your creatures, especially through my brother the sun.” The distinction is absolutely critical. St. Francis’s canticle is **theocentric** — it directs all creation’s praise toward God. The conciliar sect’s “Fratello Sole” Foundation, by contrast, is **geocentric** (or rather, technocentric) — it directs the Church’s resources and authority toward the material creation itself.
This inversion constitutes a form of **idolatry**, condemned by St. Paul: “They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator” (Romans 1:25). When the structures occupying the Vatican establish a Foundation named after “Brother Sun” to promote solar energy, they have effectively **worshipped the creature rather than the Creator**. The solar panels become the object of devotion; the “sustainable development model” becomes the gospel; and the care of “our common home” replaces the care of souls. This is not Catholicism dressed in green — it is pagan nature worship disguised in Catholic terminology.
The Silence That Condemns: No Mention of the True Crisis
What is most eloquent in this article is what it does not say. There is no mention of the state of the world’s souls. There is no mention of the millions dying without baptism, without the True Faith, without the sacraments. There is no mention of the apostasy that has consumed the Church’s own institutions since the conciliar revolution. There is no mention of the duty of rulers to publicly confess Christ the King. There is no mention of the final judgment, of heaven, of hell, of purgatory. **The silence about supernatural matters is the gravest accusation.**
Pius XI declared in *Quas Primas*: “We therefore have strong hope that the feast of Christ the King, which we shall henceforth celebrate annually, will bring society back to our most beloved Savior.” The entire social teaching of the Church, properly understood, directs all human activity — including economic and technological activity — toward the reign of Christ the King and the salvation of souls. Yet the “Fratello Sole” Foundation makes no reference to Christ the King, no reference to the supernatural order, no reference to the Church’s true mission. It is a **purely naturalistic enterprise** dressed in the language of Catholic social teaching, which itself has been corrupted beyond recognition by the conciliar revolution.
The article speaks of “energy self-sufficiency” for Vatican City State. One must ask: self-sufficiency for what purpose? If the structures occupying the Vatican are using their resources and authority to propagate heresy, to promote false ecumenism, to advance the religion of Vatican II, then energy self-sufficiency merely ensures that **the machinery of apostasy can operate without interruption**. Solar panels powering Vatican Radio means solar panels powering the broadcast of modernist errors to the entire world. This is not a sign of hope — it is a sign of the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place.
The Bureaucratic Apostolate: Foundations Instead of Sermons
The language of the article reveals the bureaucratic, managerial mentality that has consumed the conciliar sect. Words like “Foundation,” “Statutes,” “Governate,” “Administration of the Patrimony,” and “operational activity” dominate. This is the language of international NGOs, of the United Nations, of the European Union — not of the Church of Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church was not established to promulgate Statutes and govern Foundations; she was established to *preach the Gospel to every creature* (Mark 16:15), to *administer the sacraments*, to *offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass*, and to *lead souls to eternal salvation*.
The appointment of Sister Raffaella Petrini and Bishop Giordano Piccinotti to lead this Foundation is itself symptomatic. These individuals, occupying positions within the post-conciliar structures, are tasked with managing a solar energy project rather than with defending the Faith or converting souls. The entire apparatus of the conciliar sect has been redirected from the supernatural to the temporal, from the eternal to the material, from the divine to the bureaucratic. **The Church has been reduced to a corporation, and her “mission” has been reduced to sustainable development.**
The Condemnation of Secularism Now Embraced</h2
Pius XI, in *Quas Primas*, identified the great plague of the age as "the secularism of our times, so-called laicism, its errors and wicked endeavors." He described how this plague "began with the denial of Christ the Lord's reign over all nations" and how "the Christian religion began to be equated with other false religions and shamelessly placed in the same category." What Pius XI condemned, the conciliar sect has embraced. The "Fratello Sole" Foundation, with its focus on sustainable development, environmental protection, and energy self-sufficiency, is **the very embodiment of the secularism Pius XI denounced**.
The Church's social teaching, properly understood, insists that all temporal matters must be ordered toward the supernatural end of man — the vision of God in eternity. When the Church speaks of social questions, it must do so *sub specie aeternitatis* — under the aspect of eternity. But the environmental activism of the conciliar sect is entirely immanent; it concerns itself solely with this world, this life, this planet. It has **abandoned the eschatological dimension** of Catholic teaching and collapsed into a purely horizontal, secular, naturalistic framework. The "Fratello Sole" Foundation is not an expression of Catholic social teaching — it is a betrayal of it.
Conclusion: The Abomination of Desolation in Solar Form
The establishment of the “Fratello Sole” Foundation by the usurper Robert Prevost is not an isolated bureaucratic act. It is a **symptom of the terminal disease** that has afflicted the structures occupying the Vatican since the conciliar revolution. It demonstrates, with painful clarity, that these structures have:
1. **Abandoned the supernatural mission** of the Church in favor of naturalistic activism.
2. **Adopted the pantheistic and naturalistic errors** condemned by Pius IX in the *Syllabus of Errors*.
3. **Perverted Catholic language and symbolism** (Brother Sun) into instruments of nature worship.
4. **Reigned silence over the true crises** — apostasy, heresy, the loss of faith, the damnation of souls.
5. **Reduced the Church to a bureaucratic organization** obsessed with temporal management.
6. **Embraced the very secularism** that Pius XI identified as the plague of the age.
The faithful who cling to the integral Catholic Faith must recognize this for what it is: not a “sign of hope” but **a sign of apostasy**. The true Church endures — not in the solar-paneled compounds of the Vatican, but in the hearts of the faithful who profess the unchanging Faith, who attend the true Mass, who receive the true sacraments, and who await the return of legitimate authority. *Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus* — outside the Church there is no salvation. And outside the true Church — not the conciliar sect with its Foundations and its solar panels — there is no true faith.
Stat crux dum volvitur orbis — the standeth firm while the world turns. Let the structures occupying the Vatican install their solar panels and manage their sustainable development projects. The true Church, founded on the Rock of Peter and guided by the unchanging Magisterium, endures — even if only in the catacombs of faithfulness — until Our Lord Jesus Christ returns to establish His reign visibly and eternally. Adveniat regnum Tuum — Thy kingdom come.
