Vatican News portal reports that the usurper Leo XIV, addressing representatives of North American Jesuit colleges and universities on June 25, 2026, proposed four ways to address current challenges, referencing the Society of Jesus’ four Universal Apostolic Preferences confirmed by the apostate Jorge Bergoglio in 2019. The conciliar “pontiff” identified secularization as a major challenge, stating that many people are “seeking to push any mention of God out of the public sphere and beyond popular culture.” This address represents nothing more than the neo-church’s capitulation to modernism while attempting to dress its naturalistic humanism in Catholic vestments.
The Conciliar Sect’s Capitulation to Secularism
Leo XIV’s address to Jesuit college representatives reveals the fundamental bankruptcy of the post-conciliar apostasy. While lamenting secularization, the “pontiff” fails to identify its true source: the conciliar revolution itself. The Second Vatican Council’s Declaration on Religious Freedom (Dignitatis Humanae) directly contradicted the perennial teaching of the Church, as codified by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” — a proposition condemned as error number 80.
Leo XIV’s complaint about secularization is the fruit of the very council he refuses to acknowledge as the source of the rot. Pope Pius XI, in his encyclical Quas Primas (1925), established the Feast of Christ the King precisely to combat the laicism that the conciliar sect has now embraced: “The Kingdom of our Redeemer encompasses all men… it matters not whether individuals, families, or states, for men united in societies are no less subject to the authority of Christ than individuals.” The usurper’s address omits entirely the social kingship of Christ — the very doctrine that would provide the supernatural answer to the secularism he claims to oppose.
The Four Universal Apostolic Preferences: A Modernist Manifesto
The four Universal Apostolic Preferences that Leo XIV promoted — the Spiritual Exercises, walking with the poor, accompanying young people, and care of creation — represent a radical departure from the true mission of the Society of Jesus as founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola. These preferences were developed through a “two-year global discernment process” and confirmed by the manifest heretic Jorge Bergoglio in 2019.
The first preference, “showing the way to God through the Spiritual Exercises and discernment,” is rendered meaningless when divorced from the integral Catholic faith. St. Ignatius composed his Exercises as a means of conquering one’s self and regulating one’s life in accordance with the teachings of the true Church — not as a vague spiritual accompaniment compatible with religious indifferentism. Pope Pius XI taught in Quas Primas: “Christ’s kingdom is primarily spiritual and relates mainly to spiritual matters… those who wish to belong to it prepare themselves through repentance, but cannot enter except through faith and baptism.” The Jesuit “discernment” promoted since Vatican II has been condemned as a gateway to the very modernism that St. Pius X anathematized in Lamentabili Sane Exitu: “The Church, in condemning errors, has no right to require any internal assent from the faithful to the pronouncements issued by the Church” — condemned proposition number 7.
Walking with the Poor Without the Supernatural
The second preference, “walking with the poor, the outcasts, and those whose whose dignity has been violated,” reduces the Christian mission to naturalistic social work. Leo XIV urged Jesuit institutions to “offer opportunities for immigrants, refugees and those of a lower socioeconomic status to have the benefit of an advanced education.” This purely temporal concern omits entirely the supernatural destiny of man. Pope Pius IX condemned the error that “The entire government of public schools… may and ought to appertain to the civil power” (Syllabus of Errors, proposition 45).
The Church has always taught that the greatest poverty is not material but spiritual — the state of mortal sin. Yet the conciliar sect systematically ignores the supernatural order, reducing charity to social justice and education to secular formation. The true Church, before 1958, established schools and universities precisely to form souls in the faith, not to provide “advanced education” stripped of supernatural purpose.
Hope Without the Resurrection
Leo XIV’s third preference — “accompanying young people in the creation of a hope-filled future” — is perhaps the most revealing of the modernist bankruptcy. The “pontiff” stated: “The resurrection of Christ is the ultimate source of hope.” This statement, while doctrinally correct in isolation, is emptied of its full supernatural context. The hope the conciliar sect offers is not the theological virtue of hope, which is the confident expectation of eternal life through grace, but rather a naturalistic optimism about temporal progress.
St. Pius X, in Lamentabili Sane Exitu, condemned the modernist proposition: “Faith, as assent of the mind, is ultimately based on a sum of probabilities” (proposition 25). The hope offered by the neo-church is precisely this — a probability-based optimism rooted in human effort, not the theological virtue infused at baptism and directed toward beatitude.
Care of Creation Without the Creator
The fourth preference — “collaborating in the care of our common home” — has become the conciliar sect’s substitute for true religion. Leo XIV underscored “the need to educate about the care of creation, primarily due to the effects of climate change.” This represents the complete naturalization of Catholic concern, reducing the faith to environmental activism.
Pope Pius XI in Quas Primas taught: “The state must leave the same freedom to the members of Orders and Congregations… who indeed are the most valiant helpers of the Pastors of the Church and contribute most to the expansion and establishment of Christ’s Kingdom.” The care of creation is indeed a legitimate Catholic concern, but only when ordered toward the glory of God and the salvation of souls — not as an autonomous temporal goal divorced from the supernatural order.
The Jesuit Order: From Counter-Revolution to Revolution
Leo XIV’s appeal to the Jesuit tradition of forming “men and women for others” represents the complete inversion of the Society of Jesus’ original charism. St. Ignatius founded the Jesuits as the vanguard of the Counter-Reformation — soldiers of the Church dedicated to defending papal authority, combating heresy, and propagating the faith through rigorous intellectual formation and missionary zeal.
The Jesuit order since Vatican II has become the vanguard of the very modernism it was founded to combat. The four Universal Apostolic Preferences, confirmed by the apostate Bergoglio, represent the final transformation of the Society from a religious order dedicated to the defense of orthodoxy into a humanitarian NGO compatible with secular liberalism.
Pope Pius IX, in his condemnation of secret societies and modernism, warned: “Make known and attack those who, whether suffering from, or planning, deception, are not afraid to affirm that these shady congregations aim only at the profit of society, at progress and mutual benefit” (Syllabus of Errors, preliminary description of condemned errors). The Jesuit order under conciliar governance has become precisely this — a society that aims at temporal progress while abandoning the supernatural mission entrusted to it by its founder and by the true Church.
The Silence That Condemns
What Leo XIV’s address omits is more damning than what it contains. There is no mention of:
- The state of grace — the fundamental concern of every true Catholic pastoral initiative
- The necessity of the sacraments — the ordinary means of salvation instituted by Christ
- The social kingship of Christ — the only true answer to secularization
- The obligation of nations to profess the Catholic faith — taught by Pope Pius XI in Quas Primas
- The reality of mortal sin — the greatest poverty, which the concilar sect ignores
- The necessity of confession and Eucharistic adoration — the very heart of Catholic life
- The condemnation of modernism — the “synthesis of all heresies” according to St. Pius X
This silence is not accidental. It is the systematic suppression of Catholic truth that characterizes the entire conciliar revolution. Pope Pius X warned in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (not explicitly cited in the files but consistent with Lamentabili) that the modernists “wish to be friends of all… that they may the more easily deceive the unwary and spread their poison.” The conciliar sect has fulfilled this prophecy by offering a Catholicism stripped of its supernatural content — a Catholicism compatible with the very secularism it claims to oppose.
Conclusion: The Abomination of Desolation in Jesuit Education
Leo XIV’s address to Jesuit college representatives represents the complete triumph of modernism within the structures that once defended Catholic orthodoxy. The four Universal Apostolic Preferences are not a renewal of Jesuit identity but its final capitulation to the world. Pope Pius XI’s teaching in Quas Primas stands as the permanent condemnation of this apostasy: “The annual celebration of this solemnity will also remind states that not only private individuals, but also rulers and governments have the duty to publicly honor Christ and obey Him: for it will remind them of the final judgment, in which Christ… will very severely avenge these insults.”
The conciliar sect cannot defeat secularism because it has embraced secularism’s fundamental premise — the exclusion of God from public life. Only the integral Catholic faith, unmixed and uncompromised, offers the true answer to the crisis of our times. The faithful must reject the neo-church’s naturalistic humanism and cling to the perennial teaching of the Church, which alone possesses the supernatural means to restore all things in Christ.
As Pope Pius IX declared in the Syllabus of Errors: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” — condemned. The conciliar sect has made this condemned error its program of action. The faithful must resist this apostasy with the weapons of faith, prayer, and the unchanging teaching of the true Church, which endures despite the abomination that has occupied the Vatican since 1958.
