On Nov. 23, 2025, Antipope Leo XIV released a new docuмent called In Unitate Fidei, to commemorate the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea of 325.  Although the docuмent is not very long, since it was written by the apostate Antipope Leo XIV it’s no surprise that it contains a number of ecuмenical heresies.  He speaks of all the baptized, including all the Protestants and the Eastern “Orthodox”, as “disciples of Christ” (#9), as “brothers and sisters in Christ” (#12), and as part of the “one universal community of Christ’s disciples” (#12). 

LEO XIV TEACHES THAT THEY ARE PART OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST

Antipope Leo XIV, In Unitate Fidei (#9), Nov. 23, 2025: “‘All of us, as disciples of Jesus Christ, are baptized ‘in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.’  We make the sign of the cross on ourselves and we are blessed.”

Antipope Leo XIV, In Unitate Fidei (#12), Nov. 23, 2025: “… ecuмenical dialogue, founded on one baptism and the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, has led us to recognize the members of other Churches and ecclesial communities as our brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, and to rediscover the one universal community of Christ’s disciples throughout the world.”

That is to clearly convey that all of those baptized heretics and schismatics belong to the Church of Christ, which is directly contrary to the dogmatic teaching of the Church.

Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, Bull Cantate Domino, 1441: “It [the Holy Roman Church] condemns, rejects and anathematizes all who think opposed and contrary things, and declares them to be aliens from the Body of Christ, which is the Church.”

Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos (# 11), Jan. 6, 1928: “Furthermore, in this one Church of Christ no man can be or remain who does not accept, recognize and obey the authority and supremacy of Peter and his legitimate successors.”

Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum (# 9), June 29, 1896: “The practice of the Church has always been the same, and that with the consenting judgment [i.e. consensus] of the holy fathers who certainly were accustomed to hold as having no part of Catholic communion and as banished from the Church whoever had departed in even the least way from the doctrine proposed by the authentic Magisterium.”

Notice that according to actual Catholic teaching those who depart from even one dogma of the Church or the Papacy (e.g. the “Orthodox” and the Protestants) have “no part of Catholic communion” (Leo XIII) and are “aliens from the Body of Christ” (Eugene IV).

LEO XIV TEACHES THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME FAITH

In #12 of the same docuмent, Leo XIV teaches that all the baptized (including the various Protestants and Eastern “Orthodox”) share the same faith in the one and only God.

Antipope Leo XIV, In Unitate Fidei (#12), Nov. 23, 2025: “We share the same faith in the one and only God, the Father of all people; we confess together the one Lord and true Son of God, Jesus Christ, and the one Holy Spirit, who inspires us and impels us towards full unity and the common witness to the Gospel.”

That’s actually a heresy, one that’s often overlooked.  It’s often not recognized because 1) few understand Catholic teaching about “faith” and 2) Leo XIV’s statement (that non-Catholics share faith with Catholics) is so frequently expressed by the Vatican II antipopes that people have become desensitized to it.  The truth is that heretics do not have any faith in God.  To reject one dogma is to reject all faith.

Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum (# 9), June 29, 1896: “But he who dissents in one point of divinely revealed truth absolutely rejects all faith, since he thereby refuses to honor God as the supreme truth and the formal motive of faith.”

Even though it’s directly contrary to Catholic teaching to assert that a heretic has any faith, the Vatican II antipopes have taught the false doctrine that heretics and schismatics, as well as Muslims and Jews, have “faith” on hundreds of occasions.

LEO XIV FULLY ENDORSES JOHN PAUL II’S EcuмENICAL ABOMINATION, UT UNUM SINT

In his new docuмent Antipope Leo XIV fully endorses Antipope John Paul II’s encyclical Ut Unum Sint, which is filled with heresies and contradictions of Catholic teaching.

Antipope Leo XIV, In Unitate Fidei (#12), Nov. 23, 2025: “Exactly thirty years ago, Saint John Paul II further promoted this conciliar message in his Encyclical Ut Unum Sint (25 May 1995).  In this way, together with the great anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea, we also celebrate the anniversary of the first ecuмenical Encyclical.  It can be considered a manifesto that brought up to date the same ecuмenical foundations laid down by the Council of Nicaea.”

John Paul II’s abominable docuмent Ut Unum Sint teaches the heresies that 1) Catholics and non-Catholics are in communion with each other; 2) that non-Catholics have the faith; 3) that there are non-Catholic saints and martyrs; and 4) that participation in non-Catholic worship is not only permitted but recommended.  It explicitly endorses the outrageous Directory For The Application Of Principles And Norms On Ecuмenism, promulgated in 1993 by John Paul II and the Council for “Promoting Christian Unity”.  It’s essentially a manual for how to commit sins against the faith.  It recommends the very actions that were specifically condemned by the Church, such as taking part in non-Catholic worship in non-Catholic churches.

The Directory For The Application Of Principles And Norms On Ecuмenism #118: “In liturgical celebrations taking place in other Churches and ecclesial Communities, Catholics are encouraged to take part in the psalms, responses, hymns and common actions of the Church in which they are guests.  If invited by their hosts, they may read a lesson or preach.”

John Paul II, Ut Unum Sint (# 16), May 25, 1995: “More recently, the Directory for the Application of Principles and Norms of Ecuмenism, issued with my approval by the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, has applied them to the pastoral sphere.”

The Church has always condemned the very activity that is endorsed by Antipopes John Paul II, Leo XIV, and the other Vatican II antipopes.

Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos (# 10), Jan. 6, 1928: “So, Venerable Brethren, it is clear why this Apostolic See has never allowed its subjects to take part in the meetings of non-Catholics…”

LEO XIV TEACHES THE NON-CATHOLIC “SAINTS” AND “MARTYRS” HERESY

As alluded to above, in his new docuмent Leo XIV also quotes John Paul II to teach the blatant heresy that all the non-Catholic sects have saints and martyrs.

Antipope Leo XIV, In Unitate Fidei (#12), Nov. 23, 2025: “Saint John Paul II reminded us, in particular, of the witness of the many Christian martyrs from all Churches and ecclesial communities: their memory unites us and spurs us on to be witnesses and peacemakers in the world.”

That is a bold rejection of the dogma Outside The Church There Is No Salvation.  In particular, it directly contradicts the dogmatic statement of Pope Eugene IV.

Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence, Bull Cantate Domino, 1441: “No one, even if he has shed blood in the name of Christ, can be saved, unless he has persevered in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church.”

Pope Gregory XVI, Summo Iugiter Studio, May 27, 1832: “Finally some of these misguided people attempt to persuade themselves and others that men are not saved only in the Catholic religion, but that even heretics may attain eternal life.”

John Paul II taught the “ecuмenical saints and martyrs” heresy many times, but in Ut Unum Sint he expressed it in a particularly blasphemous manner.   He wrote:

John Paul II, Ut Unum Sint (#84), May 25, 1995: “These saints belong to all the churches and ecclesiastical communities, which unlocked for them entrance into the communion of salvation.”

Latin: “Sancti hi ad omnes Ecclesias ecclesialesque Communitates pertinent, quae eis aditum ad salutis communionem reseraverunt.”

As we’ve mentioned before, John Paul II used the particular word “reseraverunt”, which means “they unlocked”.  Thus, he not only taught the heresy that people can be saints outside the Church but he expressed that the non-Catholic sects themselves unlocked Heaven for them.  That is to imply that those sects, and not just the Catholic Church which was founded upon St. Peter, have the keys to the Kingdom.  It’s an astounding statement.  We believe that John Paul II deliberately used the word “unlocked” to increase the blasphemy, for his modus operandi was to subtly mock God and the Catholic Church on a regular basis.

Leo XIV’s docuмent is another clear expression of the false religion of Vatican II.  It’s not the Catholic faith.  He’s not a Catholic, and those who obstinately profess communion with him deny the faith.  On Nov. 28, Leo XIV will participate in another ecuмenical prayer service, which will be another public mortal sin against the faith and a further expression of heresy.  He’s a non-Catholic antipope.  The Vatican II Sect is not the Catholic Church, but the end-times Counter Church, as our material explains.
