Vatican’s “Leo from Chicago” Biopic: Canonizing Apostasy Through Cinematic Propaganda
The Catholic News Agency portal reports (November 10, 2025) on the release of a documentary titled “Leo from Chicago” by the Vatican’s “Dicastery for Communication.” This production, created with the collaboration of the Archdiocese of Chicago and the “Apostolado El Sembrador Nueva Evangelización,” chronicles the life of antipope Robert Prevost (“Leo XIV”) in the United States. The film features childhood locations, family interviews (including brothers Louis Martin and John Prevost), and mundane details like pizza restaurants and baseball stadiums. It follows “Leo from Peru”—a previous documentary about Prevost’s time in South America. The release coincides with the sixth month of this antipope’s illegitimate occupation of the Roman See.
