"The prophetic words of Leo XIII’s vision may well have left his contemporaries dismayed and incredulous, and indeed so it was until the time of Pius XII. Yet, a century later, they are proving to be as unsettling as they are precise, complementing the warning given by the Most Holy Virgin at La Salette: Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist. And what is this, if not the abomination of desolation spoken of by the Prophet Daniel (Dan 9:27; 11:31; 12:11) and the Gospel itself (Mt 24:15 and Mk 13:14)? What is this abomination, if not the desolation of the Holy City (Rev 11:2) and the Great Harlot (Rev 17:1–18), seated upon the seven hills, drunk with the blood of the Saints, who symbolizes every form of apostasy and false religion that allies itself with political power against the Church?

Who else but the seat of the Antichrist and the throne of abomination would hurl excommunication at those Bishops who refuse to endorse Rome’s betrayal and who have been denouncing the Conciliar revolution for over sixty years? Could we Catholics ever conceive of a Pope, a Vicar of Christ, imposing canonical sanctions on those who challenge the heresies of Vatican II? Or of the entire episcopate endorsing and encouraging doctrinal and moral deviations, rather than vigorously opposing them?

A foolish shortsightedness leads many conservatives to take refuge in the precedents found in manuals written and conceived during times of normalcy, seeking there a solution to a crisis that is unique, Biblical, apocalyptic, and eschatological; and to categorically rule out the possibility that a heretic could lose the Papacy, and that one might merely resist him while still acknowledging his authority and power. They fail to grasp that the Divine Redeemer’s promise to Saint Peter – Portæ inferi non prævalebunt – presupposes a terrible conflict in which the ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan will seem to prevail, and the Catholic Church will be deemed dead. It presupposes a general apostasy affecting not only the lambs – that is, the neophytes and fragile, insecure Catholics – but the entire flock, with its shepherds maliciously replaced by hirelings and ferocious wolves. And it is terribly true: the powers of hell will certainly not prevail against the Church of Christ, yet they demonstrate that they have already taken over another church – or rather, another religion – that claims to be founded not on Peter, but on an ecuмenical and synodal reinterpretation of the Papacy inspired by the Bergoglian docuмent “The Bishop of Rome: Primacy and Synodality in Ecuмenical Dialogues and Responses to the Encyclical Ut Unum Sint."
