The Case Against Leo XIV
Why Trad Inc.’s “Wait and See” Posture is a Betrayal in the Face of Leo XIV’s Revolution
They told us to calm down. To give him time. To stop “pouncing” on the new pontificate. Trad Inc. whispers that Leo XIV is a man we can “work with,” that we should quiet our pens and let things “breathe.” Meanwhile, the Revolution accelerates under a softer smile, and the silence of those who should know better becomes its greatest shield.
What follows is a record, just four months into Leo XIV’s reign, of words spoken, gestures made, appointments confirmed, and scandals ratified. If this is what Trad Inc. considers “encouraging signs,” then they have abandoned their vocation as watchmen and chosen instead to play the courtiers of a counterfeit peace.
Canonizing Francis Without a Process
On May 18, Leo declared at St. Peter’s: “I strongly felt the spiritual presence of Pope Francis accompanying us from Heaven.” Not “may he rest in peace.” Not a cautious appeal to God’s mercy. No, Francis was publicly enthroned among the saints, without Devil’s Advocate, miracles, or process. A papal canonization by tweet and homily.
Two days later, Leo doubled down: “He accompanies us and prays for the Church from Heaven.” This was the elevation of Francis, the man who enthroned Pachamama, blessed adultery in Amoris Laetitia, and sanctioned sodomy in Fiducia Supplicans, as an intercessor of the Church.
Reviving the Heretical and the Schismatic
Four days before that declaration, Leo praised Isaac of Nineveh: a Nestorian mystic who rejected Chalcedon, died outside communion with Rome, and taught compassion for demons. Francis scandalously placed him in the Martyrology; Leo canonized that scandal by quoting him as “a great Eastern Father” and citing him as a “Saint.”
This is the bishop of Rome presenting a universalist heretic as a saint.
“Sister Churches” and the Demolition of Ecclesiology
From the very start, Leo embraced the poison phrase: “sister Christian churches.” In his inaugural homily, he told the world:
“This is the path to follow together, among ourselves but also with our sister Christian churches, with those who follow other religious paths, with those who are searching for God…”
The very language condemned by Dominus Iesus in 2000 has now become the cornerstone of his pontificate. Instead of proclaiming the Catholic Church as mother of all, Leo places her as a sibling in a pluralistic family.
The next day he greeted Protestant sects as “sister Christian Churches” and called for “full communion” as if doctrine were mere logistics.
Elevating the Enemies of Life and Liturgy
Leo’s record of appointments and confirmations speaks louder than his homilies:
Fr. Beat Grögli, confirmed as bishop of St. Gallen, advocates women’s ordination and same-sex blessings.
Bishop Shane Mackinlay, promoted to Archbishop of Brisbane, once installed a Hindu goddess in his cathedral.
Bishop José Antonio Satué, supporter of Fiducia Supplicans, raised to Málaga.
Fr. Thomas Hennen, drafter of LGBT guidelines in Davenport, made bishop of Baker, Oregon.
Raúl Martín of Paraná, scourge of kneeling and ad orientem worship, confirmed in Argentina.
Edward Weisenburger, destroyer of the Latin Mass in Detroit, rewarded with a pallium in Rome.
Cardinal Robert McElroy, rainbow liturgist of San Diego, honored in St. Peter’s as a model of “communion.”
And at the Dicastery for Consecrated Life, Leo appointed Sister Tiziana Merletti as secretary, completing a hierarchy of women ruling over male clergy for the first time in Church history.
The Pontifical Academy for Death
On May 27, Leo XIV promoted Renzo Pegoraro to head the Pontifical Academy for Life, the very man who defended assisted suicide as a “lesser evil” in civil law and oversaw the Academy’s drift into contraception revisionism and vaccine apologetics built on aborted tissue. What John Paul II founded to defend life has become a think tank for secular bioethics, and Leo has now ratified the betrayal.
The Eucharist Rewritten
On May 31, in St. Peter’s Basilica, Leo told ordinands: “You will make his words your own in every Eucharist: it is ‘for you and for all.’”
Not only spoken, the phrase “for all” was printed in the official Vatican libretto for the Mass itself, inserted into the consecration formula. Benedict XVI explicitly commanded this mistranslation corrected. Leo resurrected it.
This is the liturgical embodiment of universalism, paired with his praise of Isaac of Nineveh’s denial of eternal Hell. Universalist mystic, universalist Mass. The logic is seamless, and the danger is real.
The Mass of the Earth, Not of Calvary
In July, Leo unveiled the new Mass for the Care of Creation, integrating Laudato Si’ directly into the Missal. The liturgy once offered for the remission of sins is now offered for biodiversity. Incense once rose to the Triune God; now it is shared with the “cry of the earth.”
This goes beyond stewardship to the sacramentalization of environmentalism. A new liturgy for a new religion.
Silence in the Face of Murder
On June 17, the UK effectively legalized abortion until birth. It was one of the most grotesque pro-abortion laws in modern history. And what did Leo say? Nothing. No Angelus lament, no statement of grief, no call for penance.
But he had time that week to meditate on “synodality as a mindset” and to praise Fratelli Tutti.
The Lavender Curtain Stays Shut
Despite all the promises, Leo has kept Cardinal Fernández at the helm of the DDF, the same man who authored Amoris Laetitia, defended Fiducia Supplicans, and openly told the press: “The Declaration will remain… Fiducia Supplicans will absolutely not fall into oblivion.”
Translation: blessings for sodomitical couples are now permanent Vatican policy. And Leo has done nothing to reverse it.
Suppression of Tradition Continues
Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte announced that, effective July 8, the TLM would be banned in parish churches, confined to one chapel. Detroit under Weisenburger has imposed some of the harshest restrictions in the world. Other dioceses follow suit.
Francis’s persecution continues without a single correction from Leo. The bishops know he will not stop them.
Miracles Without the Miraculous
Again and again, Leo XIV empties the Gospels of their supernatural core. The healing of the deaf-mute becomes a call for better communication in the digital age. The Good Samaritan turns into a lecture on horizontal compassion detached from grace. The laborers in the vineyard become a lesson in economic equity. And even at Corpus Christi, the multiplication of the loaves is preached not as a miraculous sign pointing to the Eucharistic Sacrifice, but as a metaphor for sharing bread! Christ’s miracles are no longer revelations of divine power, they are reduced to NGO moralism and talk therapy.
Ecumenism Without Conversion
From Constantinople to Albano, Leo’s speeches downplay Peter’s primacy, speak of Rome and Orthodoxy as “profoundly in communion,” and heretically praise schismatics and heretics as “sister churches.” On June 28, he even said the Sees of Rome and Constantinople are “not called to vie for primacy.”
Vatican I defined papal primacy as a matter of divine law. Leo shrugs it off as an ego contest.
Blasphemous Imagery
On July 30, Leo called a Roman church “the womb of God.” He repeated the Marian-maternity trope that collapses divine Fatherhood into feminine archetypes. This follows his silent approval of Sister Gloria Riva’s earlier claim that the Divine Infant has a womb. The surrealist theology marches on.
The Rainbow Audiences
August closed with two audiences:
Sister Lucía Caram, who supports homosexual “marriage,” welcomed into the Apostolic Palace.
Fr. James Martin, SJ, the rainbow Jesuit himself, received papal encouragement to “continue his ministry.”
Francis legitimized Martin. Leo has given him legacy.
Migration as the New Pentecost
Leo’s message for the World Day of Migrants reframes migration as a sacrament of hope, warning against “sedentarization” as if rooted Christian nations were unfaithful to the Gospel. Border enforcement is recast as pharisaism; demographic replacement as evangelization.
The Synod Institutionalized
On July 7, the Vatican released Pathways for the Implementation Phase of the Synod, declaring the 2024 Synod part of the “ordinary Magisterium” and commanding every parish to embrace “synodal spirituality.” The process is now permanent. Resistance is not tolerated.
Conclusion: The Crime of Silence
This is the record, just barely more than 100 days into Leo XIV’s pontificate:
Francis canonized by declaration.
Heretics and schismatics praised as saints.
Sister Churches theology enthroned.
Women placed in authority over clergy.
Universalist liturgy restored.
The TLM suppressed.
LGBT blessings confirmed.
Abortion unrebuked.
Creation worshipped.
Primacy denied.
Rainbow priests rewarded.
The Pontifical Academy for Life handed to a man who defends assisted suicide.
Christ’s miracles reduced to NGO moralism and therapy.
And what does Trad Inc. say? Wait and see. Be quiet. Give him time.
But the revolution is already here. Silence is not prudence. It is complicity.
My honeymoon with Leo lasted a couple of weeks. About the time he said Francis was in heaven and he didn’t fire Kissy Fernandez. Are you serious? It was cool that he was an American but ideology trumps nationality.
I agree. . Silence is complicit.
