Apostolic Betrayal: Bergoglian Successor’s Embrace of Culture of Death Advocate
CNA Newsroom reports (November 19, 2025) on the Vatican meeting between antipope Robert Prevost (“Leo XIV”) and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, notable for its effusive praise of the conciliar sect leader as “a son of Illinois” promoting “hope, compassion, unity, and peace.” The Democratic governor – currently weighing whether to sign physician-assisted suicide legislation opposed by the Illinois Catholic Conference – presented Prevost with gifts including prison artwork, Lincoln literature, and “Da Pope” branded beer.
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Mission
The governor’s office statement reduces the papacy to secular humanitarianism: “advocate for the poor” and “positive representation of Chicago.” This echoes the modernist heresy condemned by Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907), which warned of reducing religion to “human experience.” Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925) explicitly denounced such naturalism: “When God and Jesus Christ are removed from laws and states… the entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation.”
“Pope Leo XIV’s message of hope, compassion, unity, and peace resonates with Illinoisans of all faiths and traditions.”
This relativistic language deliberately omits Christ’s exclusive claim as “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6) – a silence revealing the conciliar sect’s apostasy from Catholic dogma. The 1864 Syllabus of Errors condemned precisely such indifferentism: “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” (Error 17).
Ceremonial Frivolity Amid Moral Catastrophe
The presentation of “Da Pope” beer – a sacrilegious trivialization of the papacy – occurs while Pritzker considers signing legislation that would make Illinois the 11th U.S. state to legalize physician-assisted suicide. The Illinois Catholic Conference correctly identifies this as “fundamentally incompatible with human dignity,” yet Prevost’s failure to publicly condemn this moral abomination during the meeting constitutes tacit complicity.
Pius XII’s Address to Doctors (1957) established the immutable principle: “No one has the power to dispose of his own life… even at the request of the interested party.” The conciliar sect’s silence echoes the modernist tendency denounced in Lamentabili Sane (1907): “Faith, as assent of the mind, is ultimately based on a sum of probabilities” (Error 25).
Linguistic Omissions Reveal Doctrinal Vacuum
The article’s vocabulary exposes the conciliar sect’s complete rupture with Catholic tradition:
- “Public service” replaces the papal office’s divine mandate (Matthew 16:18)
- “Representation” substitutes for the Petrine ministry’s sacramental reality
- “Resonates with all faiths” denies Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus (Council of Florence)
Notably absent are references to Christ’s Kingship, the Four Last Things, or the Church’s duty to “teach all nations” (Matthew 28:19). This corresponds with Pius IX’s condemnation in the Syllabus: “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Error 18).
Gift Symbolism Confirms Masonic Alliance
The governor’s gifts carry esoteric significance:
- Prison artwork – Symbolizes the conciliar sect’s imprisonment to modernist ideologies
- Lincoln literature – Honors the Freemason president who subverted the Syllabus‘ condemnation of religious liberty
- “Da Pope” beer – Reduces the papacy to commercialized mockery
Such exchanges fulfill Pius IX’s warning about Masonic strategies: “These sects… boldly turn the help of powers and authorities which they have secured to trying to submit the Church of God to the most cruel servitude” (Syllabus).
Theological Bankruptcy in the Face of Mortal Sin
Prevost’s failure to publicly rebuke Pritzker over assisted suicide legislation constitutes formal cooperation with evil – a violation of the Fifth Commandment. The Catechism of St. Pius X reminds us: “He who kills himself commits a most grave sin… because he usurps the right over life which God has reserved to Himself.”
This moral cowardice stems from the conciliar sect’s embrace of modernist errors condemned in Lamentabili: “Dogmas… are a certain interpretation of religious facts which the human mind has worked out with great effort” (Error 22). Having abandoned the depositum fidei, the Vatican occupiers can offer only vacuous platitudes while souls march toward perdition.
Conclusion: Return to the One Ark of Salvation
This grotesque spectacle – an antipope receiving a Masonic governor promoting death cult legislation – confirms the conciliar sect’s complete apostasy. As true Catholics, we heed Pius XII’s warning: “When the pillars of the Church are so undermined, it must collapse” (Allocution to Cardinals, 1945). Only by rejecting the Vatican II revolution and returning to the immutable Tradition preserved by faithful bishops and priests can we remain in the Barque of Peter.
