Prevost contradicted Catholic teaching on just war

LifeSiteNews: Leo XIV, in condemning all war as incompatible with God’s will, has broken with Scripture, Church Tradition, and centuries of Catholic just war doctrine.

— Leo XIV has publicly contradicted the teaching of the Catholic Church that engaging in warfare is morally legitimate under certain conditions.

Pope Urban II summoned the "soldiers of Christ" to participate in a holy war against the Muslims—a "savage, impious, and subhuman" race.

During the Crusades, indulgences were granted to those who fought for the Faith.

Before that battle, Constantine and his army saw a gigantic luminous cross in the sky above the sun, bearing words in Greek that they translated into Latin as *“In hoc signo vinces”*—*“With this sign, you shall conquer.”* Deeply impressed, Constantine had dreams about this and decided to mark his soldiers' shields with this Christian symbol.

Prevost despises Christ Crucified

For the apostate Robert Prevost, the mosque—where the false god Allah and the false prophet Muhammad are worshipped—is a "sacred space of God." And, facing Mecca before the idolatrous *miḥrāb* niche (in yet another act of apostasy), he joined in silent "prayer" alongside the imam.

Prevost is an Antichrist who rebels against the Gospel of Jesus Christ and seeks neither the conversion of pagans, nor that of idolatrous Muslims, nor that of Jews who reject their Messiah. For this worshiper of Pachamama, any place where the Most Holy Trinity is denied is a "sacred" place for renouncing God.

And, not content with his own apostasy, Roberto Prevost profanes the Vatican and the Library by reserving places of worship for the false god—the Antichrist—of the Quran.

In the Mosque of Algiers on April 13, Leo XIV - after removing his shoes, as required by protocol - stood in “silent reflection” before the miḥrāb, reports VaticanNews.va. The miḥrāb is the niche in the wall that indicates the direction of Mecca.

He then spoke with Imam Mohamed Mamoun al Qasimi, who was also dressed in white.

According to Vatican.va, Leo XIV said that the mosque “represents the space that belongs to God; a sacred, divine space”.

He prayed that "the peace and justice of the Kingdom of God may also be present among us".

In the Treatise on True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin, St. Louis de Montfort teaches us that the Virgin Mary will lead us in the fight against Satan, to battle against the army of the Antichrist; formed by heretics, apostates, wicked, idolaters and Mohammedans. Saint Louis adds that in these latter times, the Blessed Virgin will raise up great saints, who will extend the empire of Jesus Christ over “the impious, the idolaters and the Muslims.”

Resign as pope, & go become an imam then: Valentina Gomez

Prevost allowed a mosque area for Muslims to worship the false god Allah inside the Vatican library

Valentina Gomez: «First, you give them a prayer room inside the Vatican. Second, you visit a mosque instead of the Christians in Nigeria that are being slaughtered by muslims. muslims call for the murder of Christians, Jews, & the rest of the infidels. Resign as pope, & go become an imam then.»

Daniel 11:32

Prevost stated that “our task is not to build a Christendom,” which is directly contrary to the “Great Commission” entrusted to the Apostles by Christ before his Ascension.

NOW: Leo XIV in Algeria, a country that is 99% Muslim: "Every people possesses a unique patrimony of history, culture and faith. Algeria, too, is blessed with this richness, which has sustained it through difficult times and continues to guide it into the future. Faith in God has a central place in your heritage. Indeed, faith illuminates the life of each person, sustains families and inspires a sense of fraternity. A nation that loves God possesses true wealth, and the Algerian people cherish this jewel as one of their treasures. Our world needs believers like this — men and women of faith who thirst for justice and unity. For this reason, in the face of a humanity yearning for fraternity and reconciliation, it is a great gift and a sacred duty for us to declare with conviction that we are always united as brothers and sisters, children of the one God!"

Apostasy from the Faith is defined as “the complete and voluntary abandonment of the Christian religion, whether the apostate embraces another religion such as Paganism, Judaism, Mohammedanism, etc., or merely makes profession of Naturalism, Rationalism, etc.” (Catholic Encyclopedia, s.v. “Apostasy”).

Saint Alphonsus Liguori
Christians have the right to confide in God, contrary to the followers of Mohammed
A priest of the Society of Jesus, who during life devoted a great deal of time to the conversion of sinners, died with joy and confidence of salvation; this some considered to be excessive. Hence he was told that at death we should entertain sentiments of fear as well as of confidence. He answered: Have I served Mahomet? I have served a God who is so grateful and faithful; why, then, should I fear? (Saint Alphonsus Liguori. Dignity and duties of the priest: or, Selva, pg. 172)

St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274)
"It is absurd for a heretic to say that he believes in Jesus Christ. To believe in a person is to give our full consent to his word and to all he teaches. True faith, therefore, is absolute belief in Jesus Christ and in all He taught. Hence, he who does not adhere to everything Jesus Christ has prescribed for our salvation does not have any more of the Doctrine of Jesus Christ than the pagans, Jews and Mohammedans."

Archbishop Viganò: “When a cleric publicly adheres to a false cult, publicly teaches against the recognized faith, and governs as if sacramental and doctrinal boundaries were mere raw material for synodal experiments, the old canonical questions regarding the profession of faith and the loss of office cease to be abstract academic exercises. Even readers not yet ready to draw sedevacantist conclusions should at least stop pretending that we are dealing with a sound structure of Catholic authority suffering only from a few regrettable excesses. A structure that produces Hollerich, Bonny, and Conócoto has revealed all too clearly the spirit that animates it—a spirit that certainly does not come from Pentecost.”

In this case, the excuse that we do not know whether or not Prevost has repented is groundless, for a public scandal demands reparation through a public retraction. Moreover, this constitutes a sin of apostasy against God and against the Faith. We are not dealing with just any sin; its gravity is underscored by the fact that it confirms we are facing a heretic who publicly committed an act of apostasy—a transgression that fully compromises him and renders him unfit to exercise the office of the Papacy. Nevertheless, since this scandal came to light, Prevost has maintained his silence, looking the other way as if nothing had happened.

After the Passion of Christ, it is a mortal sin to participate in Jewish rites ~ St. Thomas Aquinas

It is a mortal sin to observe the old rites after the Passion of Christ The Apostle says (Gal 5:2): “If you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.” But nothing save mortal sin hinders us from receiving Christ’s fruit. Therefore since Christ’s Passion it is a mortal sin to be circumcised, or to observe the other legal ceremonies. All ceremonies are professions of faith, in which the interior worship of God consists. Now man can make profession of his inward faith, by deeds as well as by words: and in either profession, if he make a false declaration, he sins mortally. Now, though our faith in Christ is the same as that of the fathers of old; yet, since they came before Christ, whereas we come after Him, the same faith is expressed in different words, by us and by them. For by them was it said: “Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son,” where the verbs are in the future tense: whereas we express the same by means of verbs in the past tense, and say that she “conceived and bore.” In like manner the ceremonies of the Old Law betokened Christ as having yet to be born and to suffer: whereas our sacraments signify Him as already born and having suffered. Consequently, just as it would be a mortal sin now for anyone, in making a profession of faith, to say that Christ is yet to be born, which the fathers of old said devoutly and truthfully; so too it would be a mortal sin now to observe those ceremonies which the fathers of old fulfilled with devotion and fidelity. Such is the teaching Augustine (Contra Faust. XIX, 16), who says: “It is no longer promised that He shall be born, shall suffer and rise again, truths of which their sacraments were a kind of image: but it is declared that He is already born, has suffered and risen again; of which our sacraments, in which Christians share, are the actual representation.” (Saint Thomas Aquinas. Summa Theologica I-II, q.103, a.4, s.c. /co)

Prevost to heretics: 'We are already one!'

Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum (1891) addresses the social implications of industrialization and the role of women in society. He states that "women are not suited for certain occupations," emphasizing that "a woman is by nature fitted for home-work, and it is that which is best adapted at once to preserve her modesty and to promote the good bringing up of children and the well-being of the family." This reflects the Pope's views on the traditional roles of women in the home and the importance of family responsibilities

Prayer of Reparation to the Blessed Virgin Mary Co-Redemptrix, indulgenced by Saint Pius X in 1914

O Blessed Virgin, Mother of God, look down in mercy from heaven, where thou art enthroned as Queen, upon me, a miserable sinner, thine unworthy servant. Although I know full well my own unworthiness, yet in order to atone for the offenses that are done to thee by impious and blasphemous tongues, from the depths of my heart I praise and extol thee as the purest, the fairest, the holiest creature of all God's handiwork. I bless thy holy name, I praise thine exalted privilege of being truly Mother of God, ever virgin, conceived without stain of sin, co-redemptrix of the human race. I bless the Eternal Father who chose thee in an especial way for His daughter; I bless the Word Incarnate who took upon Himself our nature in thy bosom and so made thee His Mother; I bless the Holy Spirit who took thee as His bride. All honor, praise and thanksgiving to the ever-blessed Trinity, who predestined thee and loved thee so exceedingly from all eternity as to exalt thee above all creatures to the most sublime heights. O Virgin, holy and merciful, obtain for all who offend thee the grace of repentance, and graciously accept this poor act of homage from me thy servant, obtaining likewise for me from thy divine Son the pardon and remission of all my sins. Amen 3 x Hail Mary.... Source: The Raccolta, 1950

Preghiera di riparazione alla beata Vergine Maria.

Vergine benedetta, Madre di Dio, volgete benigna lo sguardo dal cielo, ove sedete regina, su questo misero peccatore, vostro servo. Esso, benché consapevole della sua indegnità, a risarcimento delle offese a voi fatte da lingue empie e blasfeme, dall'intimo del suo cuore vi bene dice ed esalta come la più pura, la più bella e la più santa di tutte le creature. Benedice il vostro santo nome, benedice le vostre sublimi pre rogative di vera Madre di Dio, sempre Vergine, concepita senza macchia di peccato, di corredentrice del genere umano. Benedice l'eterno Padre, che vi scelse in modo particolare per Figlia, benedice il Verbo incarnato, che vestendosi dell'umana natura nel vostro purissimo seno vi fece sua Madre; benedice il divino Spirito che vi volle sua Sposa. Benedice, esalta e ringrazia la Trinità augusta che vi prescelse e predilesse tanto da innalzarvi su tutte le creature alla più sublime altezza. O Vergine santa e misericordiosa, impetrate il ravvedimento ai vostri offensori e gradite questo piccolo ossequio dal vostro servo, ottenendo anche a lui, dal vostro divin Figlio, il perdono dei propri peccati. Amen.

The Church's ultimate trial 675 Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.

Bergoglio achieved impunity for most of the homosexual predators he covered up in Argentina and prevented them from paying for their crimes in prison, including McCarrick, with the exception of two, Grassi and Zanchetta, although Bergoglio did everything possible to defend Grassi and paid two lawyers to defend Zanchetta, but this time he could not mock Justice. It should be noted that Bergoglio was the spiritual "director" of both, or, to put it bluntly, the corrupter of both homosexual predators, and note that despite having been convicted by Justice, he has not yet excommunicated either of those two homosexual predators.

1 John 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

George Leo Haydock: AD 1849 A sin unto death. Some understand this of final impenitence, or of dying in mortal sin, which is the only sin that never can be remitted; but, it is probable, he may also comprise under this name the sin of apostasy from the faith, and some other such heinous sins as are seldom and hardly remitted: and therefore he gives little encouragement to such as pray for these sinners, to expect what they ask.

Bishop Mtumbuka (Malawi) on Fiducia supplicans: “Our major concern with this declaration is that it looks to us like a heresy, it reads like a heresy and it affects heresy, because is asks us to bless two people of same sex, as individuals, but not as a couple, who the previous night sleep together like a couple, presented themselves to us as a couple, are blessed as individuals, but they leave our presence as a couple, they go to their home as a couple, they sleep in the same bed as a couple. But the document says they are not blessed as a couple, although they appear to have been blessed as couple. How could this not be changing the authentic teaching of the Church.”

St John Chrysostom

Our Lord having reproached the Jews with blindness, they might have said, We are not blind, but we avoid you as a deceiver. Our Lord therefore gives the marks which distinguish a robber and deceiver from a true shepherd. First come those of the deceiver and robber: Verily, verily, I say to you, He that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. There is an allusion here to Antichrist, and to certain false Christs who had been, and were to be. The Scriptures He calls the door. They admit us to the knowledge of God, they protect the sheep, they shut out the wolves, they bar the entrance to heretics. He that uses not the Scriptures, but climbs up some other way, i.e. some self-chosen, some unlawful way, is a thief. Climbs up, He says, not, enters, as if it were a thief getting over a wall, and running all risks. Some other way, may refer too to the commandments and traditions of men which the Scribes taught, to the neglect of the Law. When our Lord further on calls Himself the Door, we need not be surprised. According to the office which He bears, He is in one place the Shepherd, in another the Sheep. In that He introduces us to the Father, He is the Door, in that He takes care of us, He is the Shepherd. (Catena Aurea)

LIBERTAS ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO XIII ON THE NATURE OF HUMAN LIBERTY
35. And as to tolerance, it is surprising how far removed from the equity and prudence of the Church are those who profess what is called liberalism. For, in allowing that boundless license of which We have spoken, they exceed all limits, and end at last by making no apparent distinction between truth and error, honesty and dishonesty. And because the Church, the pillar and ground of truth, and the unerring teacher of morals, is forced utterly to reprobate and condemn tolerance of such an abandoned and criminal character, they calumniate her as being wanting in patience and gentleness, and thus fail to see that, in so doing, they impute to her as a fault what is in reality a matter for commendation. But, in spite of all this show of tolerance, it very often happens that, while they profess themselves ready to lavish liberty on all in the greatest profusion, they are utterly intolerant toward the Catholic Church, by refusing to allow her the liberty of being herself free.

“If you want to be certain of being in the number of the Elect, strive to be one of the few, not one of the many. And if you would be quite sure of your salvation, strive to be among the fewest of the few; that is to say, do not follow the great majority of mankind, but follow those who enter upon the narrow way, who renounce the world, who give themselves to prayer, and who never relax their efforts by day or night, so that they may attain everlasting blessedness.” -Saint Anselm, Father and Doctor of the Church

PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH, THE PROTECTOR OF CHRISTIAN FAMILIES Great Saint Joseph, who wast chosen of God to be the head of the holiest and most august of families, deign to cast thy eyes upon us, and take us this day under thy special protection. Holy Patriarch, model of the holiest faith, and of the most perfect virtues, obtain for all the members of this family grace to withstand the dangers and seductions of the world, and to remain stedfastly attached to the LORD. Obtain for us that, always united by the bonds of the most tender charity, and encouraging one another mutually in good works, we may taste under thy auspices the sweetness of that peace which JESUS has promised to His true disciples. But above all, when our last hour shall come, obtain for us that we may find grace before the Sovereign Judge, so that, reunited in heaven at the foot of Thy Throne, we may celebrate everlastingly the glory of GOD and thy praise. Amen.

St. Vincent Ferrer -- Sermon on the Last Judgment: In the same way, in the time of Antichrist, the Sun of justice will be obscured by the interposition of temporal goods and the wealth which Antichrist will bestow on the world, inasmuch as the brightness of faith in Jesus Christ and the glow of good lives will no longer shine among Christians. For, lest they should lose their dominion, temporal rulers, kings and princes will range themselves on the side of Antichrist. In like manner, prelates for fear of losing their dignities, and religious and priests to gain honors and riches, will forsake the Faith of Christ and adhere to Antichrist.

Neither living nor lifeless faith remains in a heretic who disbelieves one article of faith. The reason of this is that the species of every habit depends on the formal aspect of the object, without which the species of the habit cannot remain. Now the formal object of faith is the First Truth, as manifested in Holy Writ and the teaching of the Church, which proceeds from the First Truth. Consequently whoever does not adhere, as to an infallible and Divine rule, to the teaching of the Church, which proceeds from the First Truth manifested in Holy Writ, has not the habit of faith, but holds that which is of faith otherwise than by faith. Even so, it is evident that a man whose mind holds a conclusion without knowing how it is proved, has not scientific knowledge, but merely an opinion about it. Now it is manifest that he who adheres to the teaching of the Church, as to an infallible rule, assents to whatever the Church teaches; otherwise, if, of the things taught by the Church, he holds what he chooses to hold, and rejects what he chooses to reject, he no longer adheres to the teaching of the Church as to an infallible rule, but to his own will. Hence it is evident that a heretic who obstinately disbelieves one article of faith, is not prepared to follow the teaching of the Church in all things; but if he is not obstinate, he is no longer in heresy but only in error. Therefore it is clear that such a heretic with regard to one article has no faith in the other articles, but only a kind of opinion in accordance with his own will. (Saint Thomas Aquinas. Summa Theologica, II-II, q. 5, a. 3)
