Vatican’s All Souls’ Day Message Distorts Catholic Eschatology
Portal Catholic News Agency reports on the November 2, 2025 homily of antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) at Rome’s Verano Cemetery during the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed. The antipope framed death as “not so much a recollection of the past but above all as a hope for the future,” urging attendees to look toward “the unending feast that awaits us” rather than dwell in sorrow. He reduced Christian hope to a vague “love conquers death” formula while omitting essential Catholic doctrines on judgment, purgation, and the necessity of sacramental grace.
