National Catholic Register reports that on June 10, 2026, the usurper Robert Prevost, styling himself “Pope Leo XIV,” visited the Abbey of Montserrat near Barcelona, where he venerated a 12th-century wooden statue of the Virgin Mary, entrusted his so-called “Petrine ministry” to her intercession, and urged the faithful to accept Mary’s invitation to “do whatever he tells you.” The visit included a stop at Brians 1 Penitentiary Center, where he told inmates that “the mistakes of a person’s life do not determine who they are” and that “God loves you just as you are.” While superficially resembling Catholic piety, this entire performance is the theater of the conciliar sect — a modernist antipope invoking a dubious Marian devotion to legitimize his usurped authority and advance the very errors that have brought the Church to ruin.
The Usurper at the Foot of a Questionable Image
The article describes how “Leo XIV” traveled to Montserrat, a Benedictine abbey whose origins date to 1025, to venerate a Romanesque wooden statue of the Virgin and Child known as “La Moreneta” — so called because of the Virgin’s dark complexity. The image was allegedly discovered in 880 by children who saw a light on the mountain, and according to local tradition, the bishop of the time found the statue too heavy to move, interpreting this as a sign that the Virgin wished to remain. The statue was given a Golden Rose by the previous usurper, Francis, in 2023.
Let us be clear: the Church has never formally approved the Montserrat apparitions or the origin narrative of this statue. The story of children discovering an image after seeing a mysterious light, the miraculous weight of the statue — these are local traditions, pious legends at best, and the Church’s silence on their supernatural authenticity is itself instructive. The 1917 Code of Canon Law, under Canon 188.4, establishes that public defection from the Catholic faith vacates any ecclesiastical office ipso facto and without declaration. The conciliar sect’s antipopes have publicly defected from the Catholic faith through their endorsement of religious liberty, ecumenism, and the entire modernist program condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici gregis and in the Syllabus of Errors of Pius IX. Robert Prevost possesses no authority whatsoever — he is not a pope, not a bishop, not a priest in the eyes of the true Church. His “entrustment” of a nonexistent pontificate to any statue is an act of pure theater, devoid of any spiritual efficacy.
“God Loves You Just as You Are”: The Heresy of Unconditional Acceptance
At the Brians 1 Penitentiary Center, the article records the following statement by the usurper: “God loves you just as you are, but he dreams of you being even better!” He further stated: “The mistakes of a person’s life do not determine who they are.” He invoked St. Augustine to claim that “the past does not chain the future” and added that “being human and being Christian does not mean never making mistakes, but rather growing in the ability to convert, repent, make amends, and, above all, to reconcile and forgive.”
This language is not Catholic theology — it is the therapeutic moralism of the conciliar sect, dressed in Augustinian vestments. The Church has always taught that God loves all men with a love of complacency insofar as they are His creatures, but that sanctifying grace — the love of friendship — is possessed only by those in the state of grace. The Council of Trent, Session VI, Chapter 7, teaches that justification is not merely a declaration of righteousness but a real interior transformation of the soul: “Justification is not only the remission of sins but also the sanctification and renewal of the interior man.” The usurper’s language — “God loves you just as you are” — obliterates the distinction between the state of grace and the state of mortal sin. It is the heresy of indifferentism, condemned by Pope Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos (1832): “The absurd and erroneous proposition, or rather the delirium, that liberty of conscience must be maintained for everyone.”
Moreover, the statement that “the mistakes of a person’s life do not determine who they are” is a direct contradiction of Catholic teaching on the gravity of sin and its eternal consequences. The Council of Trent, Session XIV, Chapter 2, teaches that sacramental confession requires integral confession of all mortal sins, because each mortal sin does determine the state of the soul before God. The Church has never taught that sin is merely a “mistake” that does not define the person — this is the language of modernist subjectivism, condemned in Lamentabili sane exitu (1907), Proposition 20: “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God.” The usurper reduces sin to a psychological category, stripping it of its theological reality as an offense against the infinite majesty of God.
The Rosary as Ecumenical Instrument
The article notes that the usurper prayed the rosary at the foot of Montserrat and said: “Let us ask her to help us clothe ourselves only with the armor of God.” He further stated: “Let us also consider how the Virgin holds the globe in her right hand, a sign of her maternal care, for the whole world finds a place in her heart. She invites us to recognize one another as brothers and sisters, so that no one is excluded and that communion is stronger than every division.”
This is the language of the conciliar sect’s false ecumenism. The claim that Mary’s maternal care extends to “the whole world” in a manner that invites recognition of all as “brothers and sisters” without distinction of faith is the heresy of indifferentism. The Church has taught consistently that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church — extra ecclesiam nulla salus — as defined by the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) and reaffirmed by Pope Boniface VIII in Unam Sanctam (1302). The usurper’s language — “no one is excluded” — directly contradicts this dogma. It is the same error condemned in the Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 17: “Good hope at least is to be entertained of the eternal salvation of all those who are not at all in the true Church of Christ.”
The globe in the Virgin’s hand is traditionally interpreted as a sign of her Queenship over all creation — a queenship that demands the submission of all nations to Christ the King, as Pius XI taught in Quas Primas (1925). The usurper transforms this into a sentimental image of universal fraternity, stripping it of its Christological and ecclesiological content. This is the conciliar method: take a Catholic symbol, empty it of its doctrinal content, and refill it with modernist sentimentalism.
The Invocation of St. Ignatius: A False Parallel
The article recalls that St. Ignatius of Loyola “laid aside his knightly arms” before the Virgin of Montserrat, marking the beginning of his conversion. The usurper invoked this episode as a model for the faithful. But the parallel is false and self-serving. St. Ignatius’s conversion was a real conversion — from a life of vanity and sin to a life of penance, mortification, and total submission to the Catholic Church. He founded the Society of Jesus to combat heresy and defend the faith. The usurper, by contrast, is a product of the very modernist revolution that St. Ignatius would have recognized as the work of the enemy. The Society of Jesus, as constituted before 1958, was a bulwark of orthodoxy; the post-conciliar Jesuit order has been one of the primary instruments of the destruction of the faith. To invoke St. Ignatius in the context of a conciliar antipope’s pilgrimage is to prostitute the memory of a saint.
The Testimony of the Nuns: Devotion Without Doctrine
The article quotes Sister Doraliza: “We need the pope to bring us Christ’s message: unity, fraternity, and to come to the Virgin as our point of reference.” Sister Piqué adds: “Catalonia without La Moreneta would be nothing.” These statements reveal the theological poverty of the conciliar sect. “Unity” and “fraternity” without the Catholic faith are meaningless — worse, they are the slogans of the Masonic lodges condemned by Leo XIII in Humanum Genus (1884). The Virgin of Montserrat is not a “point of reference” — she is the Mother of God, the Mediatrix of all graces, the Queen of Heaven and Earth. To reduce her to a regional cultural symbol — “Catalonia without La Moreneta would be nothing” — is to commit the sin of idolatry, substituting a creature for the Creator and a local devotion for the universal Church.
The Silence That Condemns
What is entirely absent from this article — and from the entire performance at Montserrat — is any mention of the supernatural order. There is no mention of the state of grace, of mortal sin, of the necessity of baptism, of the Real Presence in the Eucharist, of the propitiatory sacrifice of the Mass, of the Last Judgment, of hell, of the necessity of Catholic faith for salvation. The usurper speaks of “mercy” and “reconciliation” without ever defining what these terms mean in Catholic theology. He speaks of “justice and peace” without reference to the Social Kingship of Christ, as defined by Pius XI in Quas Primas. He speaks of “unity” without reference to the unity of the one true Church.
This silence is not accidental — it is the defining characteristic of the conciliar sect. The modernists, as St. Pius X taught in Pascendi Dominici gregis, “propose to reform the Church by adapting it to the errors of the age.” The usurper’s visit to Montserrat is not an act of Catholic piety — it is an act of conciliar propaganda, designed to present the face of a “pastoral” and “merciful” leader while advancing the destruction of the faith. The true Church endures — not in the structures occupying the Vatican, but in the faithful who profess the integral Catholic faith, who attend the true Mass, and who reject the modernist revolution in its entirety.
Extra ecclesiam nulla salus. Outside the Church, there is no salvation — and outside the true Mass, there is no true devotion.
