EWTN News reports that the usurper Leo XIV, during his visit to Bamenda, Cameroon, urged Christians and Muslims to jointly heal the wounds of conflict, praising interreligious solidarity and calling for a “true conversion” away from war. The event, held at the Cathedral of St. Joseph, included testimonies from Catholics, Protestants, and Muslims, with the usurper emphasizing peace and fraternity while conspicuously omitting the necessity of conversion to the Catholic Faith as the sole path to salvation. This gathering is yet another manifestation of the post-conciliar apostasy, where the occupant of the Vatican promotes religious indifferentism and naturalistic humanism, betraying the immutable teaching of the Church that there is no true peace outside of Christ and His Church.
A “Peace” Without Christ: The Usurper’s Betrayal of Catholic Doctrine
The scene is emblematic of the conciliar revolution’s fruits: a figure occupying the Vatican, surrounded by representatives of false religions, calling for “peace” and “fraternity” while remaining utterly silent on the most fundamental truths of the Catholic Faith. The usurper Leo XIV, in his address to the interreligious gathering in Bamenda, stated: “It is a joy for me to be with you in this region that has suffered so greatly. As your testimonies have just demonstrated, the lived experience of suffering by your community has only made stronger your conviction that God has never abandoned us! In God, in his peace, we can always begin anew!” This language, while emotionally appealing, is theologically vacuous and dangerously ambiguous. It implies that Muslims, who explicitly deny the Divinity of Christ, the Holy Trinity, and the salvific necessity of the Catholic Church, are equally “in God” and recipients of His peace. This is a direct contradiction of the perennial teaching of the Church.
The Dogma Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus and the Usurper’s Silence
The most glaring omission in the usurper’s address is any mention of the dogma Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus — outside the Church there is no salvation. This infallible teaching, defined by the Council of Florence (1439-1445) in the decree Cantate Domino, states: “The Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes, and preaches that none of those existing outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics, can have a share in life everlasting; but that they will go into the ‘everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels’ (Matthew 25:41), unless before the end of their lives they are joined with Her.” The usurper’s call for “peace” with Muslims, without a single word about their obligation to convert to the Catholic Faith, is not merely an oversight — it is a deliberate act of apostasy, a denial of the Church’s divine mandate to teach all nations (Matthew 28:19-20).
Pope Eugene IV, in the same decree, further declared: “No one, whatever alms he has given, not even if he has shed his blood for the name of Christ, can be saved, unless he has remained in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church.” The usurper’s praise for Muslim “witness” in working for peace, without any qualification that their good works are insufficient for salvation without the Catholic Faith, is a scandal of the highest order. It leads the faithful into the false hope that one can be saved in any religion — a heresy explicitly condemned by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors (1864), which rejects the proposition that “Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation, and arrive at eternal salvation” (Proposition 16) and that “Good hope at least is to be entertained of the eternal salvation of all those who are not at all in the true Church of Christ” (Proposition 17).
The Usurper’s Naturalistic Humanism vs. the Social Reign of Christ the King
The usurper’s address is saturated with the naturalistic humanism that characterizes the post-conciliar sect. He spoke of “human fraternity,” “accepting our neighbor as our brother,” and “walking together in love” — all phrases ripped from the conciliar document Nostra Aetate and the heretical Document on Human Fraternity signed by the antipope Francis in Abu Dhabi in 2019. This language reduces the supernatural mission of the Church to a mere humanitarian project, stripping it of its divine character and reducing the Faith to a vague sentiment of brotherhood.
Pope Pius XI, in the encyclical Quas Primas (1925), established the Feast of Christ the King precisely to combat the secularism and laicism that the usurper now embodies. Pius XI taught: “His reign, namely, extends not only to Catholic nations or to those who, by receiving baptism according to law, belong to the Church, even though their erroneous opinions have led them astray or discord has separated them from love, but His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ.” The usurper’s call for “peace” without acknowledging the Kingship of Christ over all nations and peoples is a direct repudiation of this encyclical. True peace, as Pius XI taught, is only possible in the Kingdom of Christ: “Then at last, so many wounds can be healed, then there will be hope that the law will regain its former authority, sweet peace will return again, swords and weapons will fall from hands, 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 usurper’s release of seven doves as a “sign of peace” is a pagan ritual, not a Catholic act of worship. It is a theatrical gesture that substitutes naturalistic symbolism for the supernatural reality of the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, which is the true source of peace between God and man. The Church has always taught that peace is a fruit of the Redemption accomplished by Christ on Calvary, and that the Holy Mass is the unbloody renewal of that sacrifice. The usurper’s omission of any reference to the Mass, the sacraments, or the necessity of grace reveals the depth of his apostasy.
The Usurper’s False “Conversion” vs. True Repentance
The usurper called for a “true conversion” away from war, but his concept of conversion is entirely naturalistic and devoid of supernatural content. He said: “We must make a decisive change of course — a true conversion — that will lead us in the opposite direction, onto a sustainable path rich in human fraternity.” This is not the Catholic understanding of conversion, which requires repentance of sin, faith in Jesus Christ as the only Savior, and incorporation into the Catholic Church through baptism. The usurper’s “conversion” is merely a change of attitude, a turning away from violence — but not a turning toward God, not a rejection of heresy and infidelity, not a submission to the authority of Christ the King.
The Council of Trent, in its Sixth Session, Chapter VI, taught that justification is not merely the remission of sins but also the sanctification and renewal of the interior man through the voluntary reception of the grace and gifts whereby an unrighteous man becomes righteous. The usurper’s call for “conversion” without any reference to the sacraments, grace, or the necessity of the Catholic Faith is a mockery of the Gospel. It is the language of the United Nations, not of the Church of Christ.
The Complicity of the “Bishops” and the Ruin of the Faithful
The “Archbishop” Andrew Nkea Fuanya of Bamenda, who hosted this interreligious gathering, is complicit in the promotion of religious indifferentism. His welcoming remarks, praising the usurper’s presence as “consoling,” reveal the extent to which the conciliar sect has infiltrated the hierarchy. These men are not successors of the Apostles — they are agents of the revolution, leading the faithful into spiritual ruin.
The testimonies of the imam and other non-Catholics at a Catholic cathedral, without any correction or call for their conversion, is an abomination. It is a violation of the Church’s law and tradition, which has always forbidden the public profession of false religions on Catholic premises. The Council of Trent, in its Twenty-Fifth Session, Chapter XX, decreed that bishops must ensure that the faithful are not exposed to the influence of heretics and infidels. The usurper’s participation in this gathering is a manifest act of apostasy, and those who follow him share in his guilt.
Conclusion: The Abomination of Desolation Continues
The usurper Leo XIV’s visit to Cameroon is yet another chapter in the ongoing apostasy of the conciliar sect. His call for “peace” with Muslims, his omission of the necessity of conversion to the Catholic Faith, his naturalistic humanism, and his pagan rituals are all fruits of the Modernist revolution that has consumed the structures occupying the Vatican since 1958. The faithful must reject this false “peace” and cling to the immutable teaching of the Church: there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church, there is no true peace without the Social Reign of Christ the King, and there is no “conversion” that does not begin with repentance and faith in the one true God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — as revealed through His Holy Catholic Church.
As Pope Pius IX warned in the Syllabus of Errors: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Proposition 80) — this is precisely what the usurper is doing. But the faithful must not follow him into apostasy. They must remain firm in the Faith of all ages, professing with the Council of Nicaea that Jesus Christ is “God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father,” and with the Council of Florence that outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation. The usurper’s “peace” is the peace of the world, which is enmity with God (James 4:4). True peace is found only in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and in the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass — the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary, which the conciliar sect has effectively abolished.
