Immoral Singers Perform at St. Peter’s Square

joy at the Vatican
On Saturday, September 13, 2025, Pope Leo XIV hosted a massive concert at St. Peter’s Square, which is said to have featured over 260 voices including its main line-up of stars.

Performers invited to the event, called “Grace for the World,” sadly included some quite immoral entertainers, the worst being Pharrell Williams and Karol G. On the Square that represents the core of the Catholic Church they sung mostly vulgar music along with some light pop “classics.”

“Grace for the World” lowered the general level of artistry at the Vatican, profaned our holy places with immorality, encouraged BLM class struggle, pushed a progressivist concept of grace, and lifted up the Masonic ideals of human fraternity and a pan-religion.

Lowering the level of artistry at the Vatican

From the artistic point of view, the event presented quite mediocre musicianship. From out of tune and perpetually flat singers to the orchestra that could have easily been outplayed by a high school ensemble, it was clear that the concert aimed at lowering the general level of artistry.

One singer, Jellyroll, has so many tattoos that he looks like a gang member or a Satanist. He also presented a voice so raspy that he sounded somewhere between Louis Armstrong and a chain-smoker.

Another, Karol G, besides her known immorality, showed subpar vocal talent, with a tone closer to moaning than singing, while she consistently missed high notes and was perpetually flat in her duo with Andrea Bocelli, the 1995 song Vivo Per Lei. Even in rehearsal, Karol G could not reach the high parts…

Incidentally, probably unbeknownst to Catholics, this song “Vivo per Lei,” which was translated into many different languages (perhaps the most famous being Spanish, which was the version they sang at the Vatican, Vivo Por Ella), has ambiguous lyrics about a “she” (presumably a woman) that suggests a threesome: a polyamorous male-female and lesbian female-female sexual relationship, though the song is referring to music when speaking of “she” ("ella" being music, in Spanish the feminine "la musica").

The rap duo Clipse spat mediocre rhymes that were flatter than Karol G’s high notes. Even Jennifer Hudson, known for her exceptional vocal talent, at one point began hysterically singing Hallelujah (see here and here) with the urgency of a person running out of a burning building.

The concert contained very few songs with any actual grace or talent: instead, hypnotic beats, street rhythms, vulgar language, synthesized instrumentals, trance-like repetition, mosh-pit rock and lip syncing to backing tracks were preferred over any real musicianship and vocal artistry. The few artists with actual artistry include Il Volo and Bocelli, though the latter’s quality of voice and vibrato has noticeably diminished.

Vulgarity

Vulgarity rampant in the concert

The one piece by Rossini, Domine Deus from his Petite Messe Solennelle, was sung by Andrea Bocelli, in a giocoso style typical of Rossini and sounding like a parody mocking the glory of God.

During these presentations of mediocre artistry, strange drone light shows took place above the Vatican, projecting images of a halo over St. Peter’s dome, a snapshot from Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam, and even images of Pope Francis.

BLM class-struggle & Protestantism

With an overwhelming majority of singers being black and with constant interspersed sermons on “justice,” the concert felt an awful lot like a BLM-inspired Vatican invasion with the aim to encourage communist class struggle and offer incense to the DEI gods.

It is undeniable that some of the black artists have real vocal talent, such as John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, and some of the soloists from the Voices of Fire Choir. But when the majority of the concert features these black singers, it gives the uncomfortable impression that this was an intentional choice of inclusion made at the price of merit, and meant to make Westerners feel guilty for institutional “injustice.”

Besides the general vulgarity and sensuality that these singers encouraged with their rap, hip hop and other African-inspired beats, they also brought a kind of Protestant revival to St. Peter’s Square. The general tone of the concert felt like a Southern Baptist convention due to the heavy influence of “gospel” music, with its characteristic choral singing and jazzy harmonies.

This Protestant genre of music encourages “joy” – in fact, one song repeated “joy” so nonsensically and so many times, it almost felt like a Hindu mantra meant to hypnotize the listener, or perhaps lead him to be “slain in the spirit” as is commonly said by Protestants.

This exaggerated “joy” is contrary to the Catholic spirit, which is one of love of the Cross inspiring seriousness, sobriety and penance.

Finally, an actual Protestant Bishop, Ezekial Williams, also black, was given the stage, after which he invited everyone to give a “rousing applause” for Pope Leo’s birthday. “Happy birthday! We honor you, we celebrate you,” Williams called out.

“Today there is hope for humanity, because the grace of God embraces those who are considered to be righteous, but it also reaches those who are broken, even amid war and divisiveness.”

This Protestant spirit was palpable from the beginning of the concert, which opened with the famous American Protestant hymn Amazing Grace.

Immorality of Pharrell & Karol G

The choice of Pharrell and Karol G to perform at St. Peter’s Square is particularly scandalous and should raise the indignation of Catholics.

The song that made Pharrell famous in the 2000s, Drop It Like It’s Hot, a collaboration with the infamous rapper and criminal Snoop Dogg, is a song that tells prostitutes in a brothel that when the pimp arrives, to drop their derrieres to the ground and shake them. The song also boasts of being “a bad dude with a lotta hoes [prostitutes],” rolling the best marijuana, and specializing in “making all the girls get naked.”

Another famous song of Pharrell’s, Get Lucky, speaks about going to a dance club to fornicate (to "get some") and being up all night for this end (to "get lucky") .

If Pharrell’s music is immoral, Karol G’s is still worse. Her music, lyrics, videos and Instagram page are so obscene that they actually can be considered pornographic, with lyrics that speak explicitly about sexual organs and fornication. For the sake of decency we decided not to include them, but the information is freely available to everyone online, and many are already quite well-informed, so much so that a campaign was started to boycott Karol G’s presence at the Vatican. A sample of how she likes to present herself can be seen below.

These are some of the singers that Pope Leo XIV approved to sing at the Vatican.

Doctrine: ‘Grace is a light within us’

Pharrell

Pope Leo XIV lends prestige to Pharrell Williams

Pharrell Williams played the role of “preacher” at this “Southern Baptist convention.” As an aside: he wore a jacket and tie for his performance, but for his audience with Pope Leo XIV earlier, he disrespectfully wore a sweater and jeans...

The singer, who subscribes to universalism (religious indifferentism), started his speech by saying "God is the Greatest", which seems a bold reference to the Muslim "Allahu Akbar" (which means the same thing). In the concert, he preached:

“What is grace? Grace is a light that lives in each of us, waiting to be shared, not just a blessing that we receive, but a force that we extend to one another. Beneath every culture, every language, every story, is the same breath, the same spirit, the same light, the light of the universe, the ‘all that is, all that ever will be.’ … We still haven’t asked ourselves for the sake of humanity, far beyond the reaches and constrictions of different religions: can we just hold hands for a moment and see the light that we have? …

Grace

Grace
“This is how walls become windows and how borders become bridges. How your light becomes my light and my light becomes yours! … I ask you to choose grace, choose curiosity, choose them until they become contagious, and together, we will flood the world with this light and this love, not with power and pride but with light, and love, always with the light and love.”

This idea of “grace” being a “light” inside everyone that can only reach its fullness when people come together, is immanentist and consistent with progressivism’s idea of grace, which contradicts Church teaching. As Atila Guimarães explained: “One can see, therefore, that for Rahner grace is not distinct from God, as the Church has always taught, but is God himself substantially immanent in man, self-communicating himself to men. This is what some progressivists call the ‘living God.’” (p. 120) (1)

Besides this heterodox notion of grace, constant calls to human fraternity, the dignity of the human person, tolerance, and coming together despite differences in creed were presented in this concert. Particularly by Card. Mauro Gambetti, who took to the stage and said: “We want to send a message of universal fraternity to the world.”

These ideas are classic Masonic propaganda. The only difference is that now this Masonic propaganda is being blasted like a loudspeaker from progressivist Rome to the four corners of the Earth.

Conclusion

It is significant that this concert occurred under the aegis of Pope Leo XIV, who until recently was playing the conservative.

All these concessions are made under the pretext of bringing young people back to the fold. It is a sophism which actually accepts all the bad customs of the world and presents them as “baptized” to the youth. It is a strategy that does not attract those who are called to be real Catholics. The latter want the pure and entire doctrine of the Church, not a muddy ensemble in which the worst of the world is diluted into the worst of heresy. This is why young people are embracing traditionalism and flocking to parishes that offer real Catholic doctrine.

The words of Our Lady words in La Salette sound very timely: “Rome will become the seat of the Antichrist.” Truly, this concert promoted the same doctrine and immorality of the enemies of the Church, right in front of the cupola of St. Peter’s Basilica.
