Vatican’s Indigenous Artifact Return Masks Apostate Syncretism
The Catholic News Agency portal reports (November 15, 2025) that antipope Leo XIV transferred 62 indigenous artifacts to Canadian bishops, framing this as “a concrete sign of dialogue, respect, and fraternity.” The objects, originally sent to Rome for Pius XI’s 1925 Missionary Exhibition, are portrayed as tools for “reconciliation” with Canada’s indigenous communities. The article emphasizes Leo XIV’s continuity with Francis’ 2022 apology for Church involvement in residential schools and the 2023 rejection of the “Doctrine of Discovery,” presenting these acts as milestones in healing “acts of evil against indigenous populations.” This theatrical restitution epitomizes the conciliar sect’s surrender to cultural relativism.
