VATICAN CITY — A RADICAL NEW ERA has BEGUN. In a move that has sent SHOCKWAVES through the global Church, Pope Leo XIV has declared a WAR on tradition and launched an UNPRECEDENTED purge of his predecessor’s legacy, mere hours after closing the Holy Year. The Pontiff summoned the College of Cardinals not for unity, but to issue a BONE-CHILLING ultimatum: fully embrace the controversial reforms of Vatican II or be left behind.

In a stunning rebuke, Leo declared the revolutionary council from the 1960s the church’s “guiding star,” effectively ERASING decades of cautious interpretation. This is NOT a call for reflection—it is a DECLARATION OF WAR against conservative factions who have long resisted the modernizing agenda. Insiders fear this signals the FINAL NAIL in the coffin for the ancient Latin Mass, a sacred tradition Pope Francis already severely restricted, sparking fury among the faithful.

Even more EXPLOSIVE is the guest list. The Pope’s first private audience was with Cardinal Joseph Zen, the firebrand 93-year-old critic of Francis and a hero to traditionalists. This is a CALCULATED, BRAZEN signal: the previous papacy’s enemies are now this pope’s closest allies. The message is clear—the synodal “listening church” of Francis is OVER. A new, aggressive progressive orthodoxy is being enforced from the top.

The agenda for the cardinal summit is a BLUEPRINT for upheaval, targeting the very documents that defined Francis’s reign for “discernment”—a Vatican code word for DISMANTLING. This is a hostile takeover of a 1.4-billion-member institution, risking a SCHISM that could tear Catholicism apart at its seams. The Holy Year’s closure wasn’t an end, but a trigger for a ideological revolution from the Throne of Saint Peter. The faithful must now ask: Is this the dawn of a new church, or the beginning of its irrevocable fracture?
