The National Catholic Register reports that “Pope” Leo XIV, the current usurper on Peter’s throne, used the Angelus on June 28, 2026, to express “solidarity” with the victims of earthquakes in Venezuela and to preach a naturalistic, psychological sermon on “detachment, loss and hospitality.” The event is a textbook example of how the conciliar sect reduces the Catholic faith to horizontal humanism, natural disaster management, and sentimental psychology, while completely omitting the supernatural truths that alone can give meaning to suffering and tragedy. The entire address, and the very figure who delivers it, are fruits of the post-1958 revolution that has gutted the Church of her doctrinal, liturgical, and hierarchical substance.
A Usurper’s “Solidarity” Without the Supernatural
The article begins by presenting Leo XIV as “Pope” and head of the Catholic Church, offering prayers for the victims of earthquakes in Venezuela. Yet from the perspective of integral Catholic faith, this entire gesture is void of any true spiritual authority. Leo XIV is not a legitimate successor of Peter; he is a manifest heretic and occupier of the Apostolic See, continuing the line of usurpers beginning with John XXIII. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches, a manifest heretic ceases to be Pope and head, just as he ceases to be a Christian and member of the body of the Church (De Romano Pontifice). The 1917 Code of Canon Law, Canon 188.4, declares that every office becomes vacant by the mere fact of public defection from the Catholic faith. The entire post-1958 “pontificate” is therefore canonically and theologically null.
The “solidarity” expressed is purely horizontal and naturalistic. Leo XIV says: “I wish to express my solidarity with our Venezuelan brothers and sisters affected by the recent earthquakes, which have caused numerous deaths and injuries, as well as extensive damage to property.” He prays for “eternal rest of the deceased” and “spiritual solidarity with their families, the injured, and all who have been shaken by this tragedy.” There is no mention of the state of grace, of the necessity of confession and the True Mass for salvation, of the reality of final judgment, or of the propitiatory sacrifice of Calvary applied to souls in purgatory. The entire discourse is indistinguishable from that of any secular humanitarian or non-Catholic religious leader. This is the religion of the “Church of the New Advent”: a naturalistic, man-centered creed that has replaced supernatural faith with social compassion.
Theological Vacuity of the Angelus Reflection
Before the Angelus, Leo XIV offered a reflection on Matthew 10:37-42, speaking of “detachment, loss and hospitality” as the core of Christian discipleship. This is not Catholic doctrine; it is a modernist, psychological rereading of the Gospel that empties it of its supernatural and sacrificial content.
He says: “In today’s Gospel reading, we hear some of Jesus’ exhortations on how to follow him and be witnesses to his kingdom. This is not just a matter of outward acts, but of committing ourselves entirely to a loving relationship with him.” The language of “loving relationship” is the jargon of post-conciliar sentimentalism, which replaces the Catholic doctrine of charity, grace, and the theological virtues with a vague, emotional “relationship” that requires no defined creed, no submission to the true Church, and no propitiatory sacrifice.
The first requirement, he says, is “detachment.” He cites Christ’s words: “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” Yet he immediately naturalizes the text: “When the Lord begins to send his apostles on mission, he wants them to be free from any ties. However, this applies to everyone, as even the most significant relationships find their fullness through the love that Christ gives us.” He then points to married life as an example, saying it “can only be lived fully by ‘leaving’ one’s parents’ home in order to commit to the life of marriage.” He speaks of parents helping children “to fulfill themselves and be happy by teaching them to ‘stand on their own two feet’ and make their own choices.”
This is not the Catholic doctrine of detachment as taught by the Fathers and Doctors of the Church. The true teaching, as expressed in the Council of Trent and by St. John of the Cross, is that detachment from creatures is ordered toward union with God through grace, the practice of the theological virtues, and the observance of the commandments. It is not a psychological self-fulfillment strategy or a recipe for successful family dynamics. The entire reflection is a horizontal, naturalistic psychology that omits sin, grace, merit, and the supernatural end of man.
“Love is Also Loss” – The Hermeneutics of Psychologism
Leo XIV continues: “Christians often struggle to understand that ‘love is also loss,’ especially in a world where losing is seen as weakness and we are obsessed with having and possessing.” He adds: “However, love only bears fruit in self-giving: when we are willing to lose a little of ourselves to make room for another; to lose a little time to listen to a friend; to lose a little comfort to share in a time of hardship.”
This is the language of modernist subjectivism, not Catholic doctrine. The Catholic doctrine of self-denial and mortification is rooted in the reality of original sin, the necessity of satisfying for sins, and the imitation of Christ’s Passion and Death. It is not about “losing a little time to listen to a friend” or “losing a little comfort.” The true doctrine is that expressed by St. Paul: “I fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, which is the Church” (Colossians 1:24). The Council of Trent teaches that the faithful must do penance, fast, and mortify the flesh, not merely “lose a little comfort” in a sentimental sense.
The entire discourse is a symptom of the post-conciliar abolition of the supernatural life and its replacement with a horizontal, humanistic “spirituality” that has no place for the Cross as atoning sacrifice, no place for the reality of hell, and no place for the necessity of the True Mass and valid sacraments.
Hospitality Without the True Church
Finally, Leo XIV turns to “hospitality,” saying: “Love is expressed through concrete choices and actions; by a commitment made up of small daily gestures, such as offering a glass of water to someone who is thirsty.” He adds: “By welcoming those who come in Jesus’ name, we welcome him and the Heavenly Father who sent him. Indeed, love for the Lord always involves welcoming our brothers and sisters.”
This is the ecumenical hospitality of the post-conciliar sect, which has abolished the distinction between the true Church and false religions. The Catholic teaching is that hospitality and works of mercy are acts of charity ordered toward the salvation of souls, which requires their conversion to the Catholic Faith and incorporation into the true Church. The Council of Trent and the Syllabus of Errors of Pius IX condemn the idea that all religions are equally valid or that dialogue and hospitality can be separated from the duty of conversion. The entire “theology of hospitality” of Leo XIV is a fruit of the conciliar revolution’s false ecumenism and religious relativism.
The Omission of Supernatural Truths – The Gravest Accusation
The most damning aspect of this Angelus address is what it omits. There is no mention of:
– The necessity of the True Mass and the propitiatory sacrifice of Calvary.
– The necessity of valid sacraments administered by true priests and bishops.
– The reality of sin, grace, and the state of grace.
– The necessity of confession and satisfaction for sins.
– The reality of final judgment and the four last things.
– The duty of nations and rulers to submit to Christ the King and His Church.
– The social kingship of Christ over all societies and states, as taught by Pius XI in Quas Primas.
The entire address is a naturalistic, horizontal, psychological sermon that could be delivered by any secular humanitarian or non-Catholic religious leader. It is not Catholic teaching. It is the religion of the “Church of the New Advent,” which has replaced supernatural faith with humanistic sentimentality.
The Conciliar Sect’s False “Saints” and Pseudo-Mystics
The article itself is a product of the conciliar sect’s media apparatus, which presents Leo XIV as “Pope” and head of the Catholic Church. The entire post-1958 structure, including the “canonizations” of false saints such as Maximilian Kolbe (who died not for the faith but for a fellow prisoner), the Ulma family (who did not die for the faith, and the unborn child could not be a saint without baptism), John Henry Newman (a modernist evolutionist), Faustyna Kowalska (a pseudo-mystic controlled by the charismatic movement and likely author of her own diary), and John Paul II (a manifest heretic and apostate), is a continuation of the same revolution that produced this Angelus address.
The “pope,” “bishops,” and “priests” of the conciliar sect are not true pastors but agents of the revolution, promoting a naturalistic, ecumenical, and humanistic religion that has nothing to do with the Catholic Faith. Their “solidarity” with earthquake victims is empty of supernatural content, their “discipleship” is a psychological self-help program, and their “hospitality” is a false ecumenism that denies the necessity of conversion to the Catholic Church.
Conclusion: Return to Integral Catholic Tradition
The Angelus of Leo XIV on June 28, 2026, is a perfect illustration of the spiritual bankruptcy of the conciliar sect. It is a naturalistic, horizontal, psychological sermon that omits all supernatural truths and reduces Christian discipleship to sentimental self-giving and humanitarian solidarity. It is the religion of the “Church of the New Advent,” which has replaced the True Mass, valid sacraments, and the social kingship of Christ with a man-centered creed of “love” and “hospitality.”
The only response for faithful Catholics is to reject this entire conciliar revolution, to adhere to the integral Catholic Tradition that existed before 1958, and to seek the true Church, the true Mass, and the true sacraments wherever they may be found. As Pius XI taught in Quas Primas, peace is only possible in the kingdom of Christ, and that kingdom is not a horizontal humanitarian project but the social and spiritual reign of Christ the King over all nations, families, and individuals. The “solidarity” of Leo XIV is a counterfeit; true solidarity is found only in the true Church, the true Faith, and the true Sacrifice of Calvary.
