Ecumenical Apostasy Masquerading as Christian Unity
The VaticanNews portal (January 18, 2026) reports that antipope Leo XIV used his Angelus address to call for intensified prayer during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. The theme—”There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling” (Eph 4:4)—was prepared by an ecumenical group from the Armenian Apostolic Church, a schismatic body. The antipope will conclude the week by presiding over Vespers at the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls. This appeal for visible unity with heretical and schismatic sects constitutes a brazen assault on the dogma of the Church’s exclusive authority.
