Apostasy on the High Seas: “Pope” Leo XIV’s Maritime Modernism
VaticanNews portal (November 13, 2025) reports that antipope Robert Prevost (styled “Leo XIV”) issued a chirograph establishing the “Apostleship of the Sea” as a canonical legal entity under the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development. The article claims this body will coordinate pastoral care for maritime workers, citing as precedent Pius X’s 1914 motu proprio Iam pridem, John Paul II’s Stella Maris (1997), and Bergoglio’s bureaucratic restructuring. The text emphasizes “human mobility” and “integral human development” through consultations with “national directors” since 2022. This administrative reshuffling exemplifies the conciliar sect’s substitution of supernatural grace with naturalistic social work.
