Vatican News portal reports on April 10, 2026, that the usurper Robert Prevost, styling himself “Pope Leo XIV,” received French President Emmanuel Macron in audience at the Apostolic Palace — a meeting that included Cardinal Pietro Parolin and Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher at the Secretariat of State, where “cordial discussions” acknowledged “good relations between the Holy See and France” and exchanged views on world conflicts “with the hope that peaceful coexistence could be restored through dialogue and negotiation.” Macron also visited the Community of Sant’Egidio, where he paid tribute to the beatified Floribert Bwana Chui. This entire spectacle is not diplomacy but the public communion of manifest heretics and apostates in the ongoing demolition of the Catholic Church.
The Reception of a Persecutor as a “Head of State”
Emmanuel Macron is the president of France — a nation whose entire modern history since the Revolution of 1789 has been defined by the persecution of the Catholic Church, the confiscation of Church property, the murder of priests and religious, and the establishment of laïcité, that is, the systematic exclusion of Christ the King from public life. The Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX condemned with absolute clarity the proposition that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (error 55), and that “in the present day it is no longer expedient that the Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of the State, to the exclusion of all other forms of worship” (error 77). France under Macron has only intensified this war against the faith: the promotion of abortion as a “right,” the legalization of same-sex “marriage,” the Islamization of French society through mass immigration, and the surveillance and restriction of Catholic schools and homeschooling families.
That the occupant of the Vatican receives such a man with “cordial discussions” and acknowledges “good relations” is not merely a diplomatic formality — it is a public act of communion with a regime that wages war against the Law of God. Pius XI taught in Quas Primas that “rulers and governments have the duty to publicly honor Christ and obey Him” and that the state must order “all relations in the state on the basis of God’s commandments and Christian principles, both in the issuing of laws and in the administration of justice, as well as in the education and formation of youth in sound doctrine and purity of morals.” The Macron regime violates every one of these principles. To receive him cordially is to declare, in effect, that the reign of Christ the King is an abstraction with no bearing on the concrete political order — a proposition condemned by the Syllabus in its entirety.
“Dialogue and Negotiation” as the Religion of the Conciliar Sect
The Vatican Press Office statement reveals the ideological core of the meeting: “the hope that peaceful coexistence could be restored through dialogue and negotiation.” This phrase, repeated like a liturgical formula in every communiqué issued by the conciar structures, is not Catholic teaching. It is the creed of Modernism applied to international relations — the substitution of the supernatural order of Christ’s Kingship with the naturalistic mechanism of human negotiation.
Pius XI declared in Quas Primas: “The hope of lasting peace will not yet shine upon nations as long as individuals and states renounce and do not wish to recognize the reign of our Savior.” Peace is not achieved through “dialogue and negotiation” between powers that reject God; it is achieved only when “all willingly accept the reign of Christ and obey Him, and every tongue will confess that our Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.” The conciliar sect has replaced this supernatural program with the program of the United Nations and the Enlightenment: peace as a human construction, achieved by human means, without reference to sin, grace, or the Social Kingship of Christ.
This is precisely the error condemned by St. Pius X in Lamentabili (proposition 65): “Contemporary Catholicism cannot be reconciled with true knowledge without transforming it into a certain dogmaless Christianity, that is, into a broad and liberal Protestantism.” The “dialogue” celebrated in this Vatican communiqué is the dialogue of indifferentism — the same indifferentism condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus (errors 15-18), which holds that all religions are equally valid paths to peace and salvation.
The Community of Sant’Egidio: A Nest of Syncretism
Macron’s visit to the Community of Sant’Egidio is not incidental — it is emblematic. Sant’Egidio is one of the flagship organizations of the post-conciliar revolution, a community that has made “dialogue” with every religion and ideology its raison d’être. Its founder, Andrea Riccardi, has been a central figure in the conciliar sect’s project of reducing the Church’s mission from the salvation of souls through conversion to Catholicism to a vague humanitarianism that finds common ground with every false religion.
The tribute paid to Floribert Bwana Chui — beatified by the conciliar structures in June 2025 — is itself suspect. The beatification of individuals by an antipope who lacks jurisdiction (as demonstrated in the theological sources on sedevacantism: a manifest heretic ipso facto loses his office, as St. Robert Bellarmine teaches in De Romano Pontifice 2:30) is canonically null and spiritually void. The entire apparatus of post-conciliar “canonizations” and “beatifications” is a mechanism for creating saints in the image of the conciliar revolution — figures who embody humanitarian activism rather than the supernatural virtues of martyrdom and heroic sanctity.
The Apostolic Palace as Stage Set
The description of the meeting’s choreography — the Courtyard of St. Damasus, the Sala del Tronetto, the handshake, the exchange of gifts — reveals the true nature of the conciar sect: a theatrical production designed to project an image of legitimacy and continuity. The Apostolic Palace, once the residence of the Vicar of Christ, has been converted into a stage set for the reception of the enemies of the faith. The “Prefecture of the Papal Household” arranges the props; the “Secretary of State” reads the script; the “Pope” plays the role.
But the faithful who retain the Catholic faith know the truth: the See of Peter is vacant. The man calling himself Leo XIV is a usurper, and his acts — including the reception of a persecutor of the Church like Macron — are null in the supernatural order. As Pope Celestine I declared regarding Nestorius: “he who has departed from the faith with such preaching cannot depose or remove anyone.” The conciliar sect, having departed from the faith through the apostasy of Vatican II, possesses no authority to teach, govern, or sanctify.
The Silence That Condemns
What is most revealing in this entire report is what is not said. There is no mention of the duty of the French state to recognize the Catholic religion as the religion of the nation. There is no mention of the sins of the French government against the natural and divine law. There is no mention of the eternal salvation of Macron’s soul. There is no mention of the Social Kingship of Christ, of the necessity of conversion, of the reality of sin and judgment.
This silence is the silence of apostasy. It is the silence of a structure that has abandoned its divine mission and replaced it with the program of the world. As Pius IX warned in the Syllabus: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (error 80) — a proposition condemned as heresy, yet practiced as policy by every conciliar antipope, including the current usurper.
The meeting between Macron and the antipope is not news. It is simply the latest act in the ongoing passion of the Church — the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place, receiving the worship of the powerful while the faithful remnant prays in the catacombs for the restoration of all things in Christ the King.
