Masonic Rituals Replace True Jubilee Grace in Vatican Ceremonies
The EWTN News portal (January 15, 2026) reports the sealing of St. Peter’s Holy Door on January 16, 2026, as the final act of the so-called “Jubilee of Hope.” The article describes masonry workers (“sanpietrini”) from the Fabric of St. Peter constructing a brick wall to permanently seal the door, inserting a bronze capsule containing a document, jubilee coins, and door keys. This follows identical rituals at St. Mary Major (January 13), St. John Lateran (January 14), and St. Paul Outside the Walls (January 15). The portal claims this concludes the jubilee year but insists its “spiritual life” continues, quoting the antipope’s January 6 ceremony closing the basilica’s doors. The report exemplifies the conciliar sect’s substitution of sacramental reality with naturalistic theater.
