Podcast: The Visibly False Church of Leo XIV
(TRADCAST EXPRESS 226)

Our latest podcast episode, TRADCAST EXPRESS 226, was published on May 23. It is 29 minutes long and deals with two separate but related topics.

First, we focus on a curious phrase with which Robert Prevost (‘Pope Leo XIV’) described the Holy Eucharist recently. In his May 10, 2026 Regina Caeli address, he said: “As he turns the bread and wine into a living expression of his love, Christ says: ‘If you love me, you will keep my commandments’ (Jn 14:15)”. Why does he deliberately use such extremely vague and ambiguous language that could mean any number of things — “living expression of his love” — when he could simply have said, “His Body and Blood”?

Indeed it is a hallmark of the ‘New Theology’ that was condemned by Pope Pius XII but emerged victorious at the Second Vatican Council to favor language that is needlessly vague and often metaphorical. It is the task of theology, however, to render lucid what is obscure in divine revelation, not to camouflage that which is already taught clearly.

In his anti-Modernist encyclical Humani Generis, n. 14, Pope Pius XII rejected attempts to “return in the explanation of Catholic doctrine to the way of speaking used in Holy Scripture and by the Fathers of the Church”, eschewing the terminology subsequently approved and employed by the Church in her sacred magisterium. Similarly, in the late 18th century, Pope Pius VI had issued the bull Auctorem Fidei, in which he condemned innovators for misleading souls in a most cunning manner by using ambiguous language and even deliberately contradicting themselves so. This allowed them to spread heresy while at the same time retaining some plausible deniability.

Second, we react to a recent video by Matt Gaspers, Robert Siscoe, and John Salza, in which they appeal to traditional Catholic ecclesiology to argue that the Vatican II Sect is the visible, infallible, and indefectible Roman Catholic Church. Unfortunately, they fail to mention that the Vatican II Sect has long repudiated the very traditional Catholic ecclesiology they are using. We provide a reality check to show some of the absurdities their position leads to.

For example:

• They accuse sedevacantists of denying the visibility and unity of the Church. Meanwhile their current ‘Pope’, Leo XIV, writes to the Coptic Orthodox patriarch Tawadros II: “I am confident that the reflections undertaken on the 1700th anniversary of the First Ecumenical Council [of Nicaea] will rekindle our desire to achieve the visible unity of the Church — a unity rooted in the one baptism that we profess in the Nicene Creed, and which, I sincerely pray, we shall attain” (underlining added).
• They accuse sedevacantists of holding that the Mystical Body of Christ and the Roman Catholic Church are not identical. Meanwhile their deceased ‘Pope’ Francis taught in an address to an ecumenical delegation of the Lutheran Church of Finland that both Catholics and Lutherans are part of Christ’s Mystical Body: “As members of one and the same mystical body of Christ, Christians are bound to one another and must bear one another’s burdens” (underlining added).

The retort that these examples do not engage papal infallibility is beside the point. The point is that they are examples of what the Vatican II Church officially teaches.

In short: Salza and Siscoe, and presumably also Gaspers, want sedevacantists to submit to a hierarchy that officially teaches the very heresies/errors they accuse sedevacantists of holding! You can’t make it up!
