Vatican News portal (June 30, 2026) reports the appointment of Argentine priest Lucio Ruiz — until now Secretary of the Dicastery for Communication — as Secretary of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity, the entity known as the Apostolic Almonry. The nomination comes from the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) and takes effect September 1, 2026. Ruiz will serve alongside the Spanish Augustinian “Bishop” Luis Marín de San Martín, installed as head of the Almonry in March. The same communiqué announces Massimo Ralli as Under-Secretary. The article highlights Ruiz’s role in organizing the “Jubilee of the World of Communication” (January 2025) and the “Jubilee of Digital Missionaries and Catholic Influencers” (July 2025), his teaching posts at the “Pontifical” University of the Holy Cross and the “Pontifical” Gregorian University, and his long experience in Latin American media networks. This bureaucratic reshuffle within the Roman Curia of the conciliar sect confirms the total substitution of supernatural charity with naturalistic humanitarianism and the consolidation of a paramasonic structure devoted to the cult of man.
The Usurper’s Appointment: Null and Void Ab Initio
The very premise of the news — that “Pope Leo XIV has appointed” — rests on a manifest heretic exercising a jurisdiction he does not possess. Robert Prevost, as a public adherent of the Vatican II revolution, the false ecumenism of Unitatis Redintegratio, the religious liberty of Dignitatis Humanae, and the collegiality that subverts the monarchical constitution of the Church, has ipso facto severed himself from the Mystical Body. St. Robert Bellarmine teaches with unanimous patristic consent: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope… he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian… therefore, a manifest heretic cannot be Pope” (De Romano Pontifice, II, 30). The Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio of Pope Paul IV declares that any promotion of a heretic to the papacy is “null, void, and of no effect” regardless of unanimous cardinal assent. Canon 188 §4 of the 1917 Code confirms: “Every office becomes vacant by the mere fact and without any declaration… if the cleric publicly defects from the Catholic faith.” No declaration is needed; the defection is public and notorious. Therefore, every “appointment” issued by Prevost is a nullity, a theatrical gesture within a paramasonic structure occupying the Vatican — the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel and Our Lord (Matt. 24:15).
The Dicastery for Communication: Propaganda Organ of the Anti-Church
Ruiz’s decade-long tenure as Secretary of the Dicastery for Communication (established 2015 by the antipope Francis) exposes the nature of this “dicastery.” It is not an organ of the Magisterium but a media conglomerate designed to manage the brand of the conciliar sect. The article boasts of the “Jubilee of the World of Communication” and the “Jubilee of Digital Missionaries and Catholic Influencers” — a phrase that alone condemns the enterprise. Influencers are merchants of vanity, purveyors of the concupiscentia oculorum (1 John 2:16). The true Church sends missionaries to baptize nations (Docete omnes gentes, Matt. 28:19); the neo-church recruits “digital influencers” to curate engagement metrics. St. Pius X in Lamentabili Sane Exitu (1907) condemned the proposition that “Christ did not intend to establish the Church as a community lasting for centuries on earth” (prop. 52) and that “the organic structure of the Church is subject to change… subject to continuous evolution” (prop. 53). The “Dicastery for Communication” is the embodiment of this condemned evolutionism: a mutable, bureaucratic, marketing-driven replacement for the immutable Ecclesia docens.
From ‘Communication’ to ‘Charity’: The Horizontalist Pivot
The transfer of Ruiz to the Dicastery for the Service of Charity — the “Apostolic Almonry” — is not a promotion but a reassignment within the same naturalistic paradigm. The article defines the dicastery as “the body responsible for the Pope’s charitable initiatives and humanitarian projects.” Note the terminology: “humanitarian projects”. Not corporal works of mercy performed for the love of God and the salvation of souls, but “humanitarian projects” — the language of the UN, the Red Cross, the Masonic lodges. Pius XI in Quas Primas (1925) thundered: “When God and Jesus Christ were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed… the entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation.” The conciliar “Almonry” does not bring Christ the King to the poor; it brings the poor a Christless philanthropy. It practices the caritas of the Syllabus error 40: “The teaching of the Catholic Church is hostile to the well-being and interests of society” — condemned by Pius IX, yet now inverted: the neo-church teaches that only temporal well-being matters. The “Almonry” under “Bishop” Marín de San Martín and now Ruiz is an NGO with miters, distributing alms without the sacramentum, the sacred sign that elevates matter to grace.
The Personnel of Apostasy: A Curia of Collaborators
The article parades a roster of the neo-church’s functionaries: Montserrat Alvarado, “Prefect” of Communication (a laywoman governing a “dicastery” — mulieres in ecclesiis taceant, 1 Cor. 14:34, violated as principle); “Bishop” Luis Marín de San Martín, an Augustinian elevated to the “episcopate” by Francis in 2021, whose orders are doubtful given the Paul VI rite of 1968; Massimo Ralli, a career bureaucrat promoted to Under-Secretary. None are mentioned in relation to the Missa Tridentina, the Breviarium Romanum, the Catechismus Romanus, or the conversion of infidels. Their qualifications are managerial, academic, “communicational.” This is the clericalism of the new religion: a priesthood without sacrifice, a hierarchy without jurisdiction, a charity without Christ. The Syllabus error 27 condemns: “The sacred ministers of the Church and the Roman pontiff are to be absolutely excluded from every charge and dominion over temporal affairs” — yet here the “sacred ministers” only exercise temporal affairs, having abandoned the spiritual.
The False Jubilees: Profanation of the Sacred Time
The article cites Ruiz’s organization of the “Jubilee of the World of Communication” (January 2025) and the “Jubilee of Digital Missionaries and Catholic Influencers” (July 2025). These are sacrilegious parodies of the Holy Years instituted by the true Popes. Boniface VIII (1300) and his successors convoked Jubilees for the remission of sins and the indulgentia plenaria attached to pilgrimage, confession, and communion. The neo-church’s “Jubilees” celebrate sectors: communication, digital missionaries, influencers. They are theatrical liturgies of the self. Pius XI in Quas Primas instituted the Feast of Christ the King precisely to combat “the secularism of our times, so-called laicism” — and here the antichurch celebrates the laicism of the digital age under the guise of a Jubilee. The “Jubilee of Digital Missionaries” is the apotheosis of the error condemned in Lamentabili prop. 59: “Christ did not proclaim any specific, all-encompassing doctrine suitable for all times and peoples, but rather initiated a certain religious movement, applied or applicable to different times and places.” The “influencer” is the missionary of this fluid, adaptable, content-driven religion.
Silence on the Supernatural: The Gravest Accusation
Read the article again. There is no mention of grace, sin, hell, purgatory, the Sacraments, the Mass, the Virgin Mary, the conversion of Russia, the Social Kingship of Christ. None. The “Dicastery for the Service of Charity” is presented as a humanitarian logistics hub. This silence is the crimen laesae majestatis against God. The true Eleemosynarius (Almoner) of the Pope — a Cardinal, historically — distributed alms as participation in the King’s munificence, reminding the faithful that “you were redeemed not with corruptible gold or silver… but with the precious blood of Christ” (1 Pet. 1:18-19, cited in Quas Primas). Ruiz’s “charity” knows no redemption. It knows only “projects,” “initiatives,” “networks,” “experience in Latin America.” It is the caritas of the Syllabus error 58: “No other forces are to be recognized except those which reside in matter, and all the rectitude and excellence of morality ought to be placed in the accumulation and increase of riches by every possible means, and the gratification of pleasure.” Here, the “riches” are humanitarian aid, the “pleasure” is the self-satisfaction of the giver.
The Continuity of the Revolution: Francis to Leo XIV
The article notes Ruiz was appointed by “Pope Francis” in 2015 and now transferred by “Pope Leo XIV.” This seamless continuity is the signature of the single modernist operation. There is no rupture, no “hermeneutic of continuity” with Tradition — only continuity with the rupture of 1958. The “Dicastery for Communication” (Francis, 2015) and the “Dicastery for the Service of Charity” (reformed by Francis, 2022 via Praedicate Evangelium) are both creatures of the conciliar constitution Praedicate Evangelium (2022), which abolished the Sacra Congregatio structure of the 1917 Code and replaced it with “dicasteries” — a term borrowed from secular administration. The 1917 Code (Canon 248) defined the Roman Congregations as tribunals assisting the Pope in governing the Church. Praedicate Evangelium transforms them into ministries serving a “synodal” bureaucracy. Ruiz moves from one ministry to another, a functionary in the paramasonic structure that has usurped the Cathedra Petri.
Conclusion: The Almonry of the Antichrist
The appointment of Lucio Ruiz is not news; it is symptom. It reveals the neo-church for what it is: a humanitarian NGO with a sacramental veneer, a communication agency for the religion of man, a structure occupying the Vatican that has no jurisdiction, no orders, no mission, no Christ. The true Church, the Ecclesia Catholica, subsists in the bishops and priests who preserve the Traditio intact — the Mass of Trent, the doctrine of the Councils, the Syllabus, Pascendi, Quas Primas, Cum ex Apostolatus Officio. They alone exercise the potestas ordinis and potestas jurisdictionis by divine right. The “Dicastery for the Service of Charity” is a counterfeit. Its “Secretary” is a functionary of the abomination. Non praevalebunt (Matt. 16:18) — but not because the gates of hell will not prevail against this structure; they have already prevailed against it. The promise stands for the Petra, not for the usurpers on the Cathedra.
