Neo-Church’s Hollow Call to “Mission” Masks Apostasy from Christ’s Social Kingship
The Catholic News Agency portal (December 22, 2025) reports that “pope” Leo XIV addressed officials of the Roman Curia, urging them to create a “more mission-oriented” structure while cautioning against “forces of division” within the Vatican bureaucracy. The antipope invoked his predecessor Francis, calling his “prophetic voice” and “pastoral style” exemplary for promoting “God’s mercy” and a “joyful Church, welcoming to all.” The address centered on two themes: mission and communion, claiming ecclesial structures must serve evangelization rather than hinder it. Leo XIV declared: “We need an ever more missionary Roman Curia,” framing Christmas as a revelation of divine fraternity enabling reconciliation. He warned against workplace “rigidity or ideology” while promoting “synodal” cooperation where “all cooperate in the same mission.” The antipope closed by invoking the conciliar documents of Vatican II and Paul VI’s Evangelii Nuntiandi, presenting Bonhoeffer’s Lutheran theology as spiritually instructive.
