Neo-Modernist Cabal Masquerading as Ecclesial Governance
The Vatican News portal reports on 8 January 2026 that antipope Leo XIV concluded an “Extraordinary Consistory” with 170 cardinals, announcing annual gatherings to advance “synodality” and confirm the 2028 “Ecclesial Assembly.” Cardinals Brislin (South Africa), David (Philippines), and Rueda Aparicio (Colombia) praised the event’s “unity in diversity,” while antipope Leo invoked Vatican II as the foundation for this “renewal.” The article frames geopolitical concerns (e.g., Venezuela) and lay/women’s roles as central to the church’s mission, omitting all reference to the supernatural ends of the Church.
