Why Did Leo Do This?? Leo XIV Promotes Feminist Prefect; Monsignor Who Believes In "Non-Binary Third Gender.” Meanwhile, SSPX In “Schism.”

 Truely, the ecclesiastical world has been turned upside down by the die-hard Modernists...

We have plenty of examples of this since 2013 and forward, with Leo continuing the revolution of Bergoglio right down to the present day.

It is a recognizable symptom of the loss of Fatih, and the acceptance of the Zeitgeist, as well as the continued erosion of Christ as King of individual souls and nations.

And we know that without Christ, there is chaos.

Here is another sorrowful example of that madness.

Brace yourselves for this one...

From Hiraeth In Exile: Leo XIV Promotes Feminist Prefect and a Monsignor Who Believes in "Non-Binary Third Gender.” Meanwhile, SSPX in “Schism.”

"Smerilli and the New Curial Order

Leo’s appointment of Sister Alessandra Smerilli as prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development carries far more significance than another “woman in leadership” headline.

Smerilli is a Francis product down to the vocabulary: new economy, integral ecology, climate justice, migrants, social justice, Economy of Francesco, COVID recovery commissions, and the whole moral atmosphere of global humanitarian Catholicism. Her portfolio speaks the language of the postconciliar replacement faith: less Christ the King, more sustainable development; less conversion of nations, more management of systems; less supernatural mission, more partnership with the age.

Her appointment also shows the practical effect of Praedicate Evangelium. The old curial assumption that major governing offices belonged to cardinals and bishops has been replaced by a theory of vicarious governance flowing from the pope through offices that can be headed by laymen, laywomen, and religious sisters. The new regime says the baptized can govern at the top of dicasteries according to competence and function.

That sounds administrative until one sees the ecclesiology underneath it.

The old order tied government in the Church to sacred hierarchy. The new order floats governance above Holy Orders and then calls the result synodality, participation, co-responsibility, and anti-clericalism. It keeps the language of hierarchy while draining it through management theory.

Smerilli’s own reported remarks show the deeper logic. She praised the German experience of placing more women into processes and roles. She urged women to continue their “battles.” She spoke of increasing women’s leadership at every level of the Church. Most revealing of all, she reportedly said the point is that a religious sister or layperson can have responsibility over bishops or priests.

Responsibility over bishops and priests.

This is feminism taking the side door into ecclesial rule. The chasuble remains forbidden. The executive chair opens. The altar remains male. The boardroom, dicastery, commission, synodal table, and decision process are rearranged.

A woman priesthood without ordination would still reshape the Church. It would govern the men who offer sacrifice while claiming the sacrificial priesthood remains untouched.

“Women Priests — Not Now”

The most revealing part of the Smerilli story may be her reported answer about women priests.

She did not give the old Catholic answer. The Catholic answer is simple: the Church has no authority to confer priestly ordination on women. That question concerns divine constitution, apostolic tradition, sacramental sign, and the Bridegroom’s relation to His Bride.

Her reported answer was tactical. Female priests would preserve clerical privilege. The structure must change first. Priesthood, in that frame, becomes a power problem rather than a sacramental reality.

That is the new feminist ecclesiology in miniature.

The old feminist demand said: give women access to priesthood.

The refined synodal version says: shrink priesthood, flatten authority, transfer power into baptized governance, and let women rule the system while the theology department keeps repeating that ordination remains male.

This approach is more dangerous because it can sound obedient. It accepts the formal boundary while undermining the world that made the boundary intelligible.

The Church can keep saying women cannot be priests while building a curial order where a woman prefect governs a dicastery, a sister can have responsibility over clergy, and bishops learn to receive direction from structures no longer shaped by their sacred office.

The revolution no longer needs ordination immediately.

It has governance."
