Nigeria’s Christian Martyrdom Amidst Conciliar Apostasy
The Catholic News Agency portal (January 16, 2026) reports that Nigeria accounted for 72% of global Christian killings in 2025, citing Open Doors’ World Watch List 2026. Of 4,849 Christians murdered worldwide, 3,490 died in Nigeria. The article quotes U.K. envoy David Smith calling for diplomatic pressure on Nigeria’s government and references antipope Leo XIV’s November 2025 statement acknowledging that “Christians and Muslims have been slaughtered” while urging “authentic religious freedom.” The report reduces the Church’s supernatural mission to a humanitarian campaign for “freedom of religion or belief,” ignoring the conciliar sect’s complicity in Nigeria’s apostasy.
