EWTN News reports that on April 15, 2026, the usurper Robert Prevost, known as “Pope Leo XIV,” visited the Ngul Zamba Orphanage in Yaoundé, Cameroon, where he delivered a message centered on the theme of God’s presence in suffering. The article, based on a report from ACI Stampa, describes the scene: children singing, the “pope” smiling and applauding, and his subsequent address to the children and staff. He told the orphaned and abandoned children, “Wherever there is misery, suffering, or injustice, God is present,” and assured them that they are “bearers of a promise.” He praised the staff, stating, “Your patience reflects the face of divine mercy,” and concluded by entrusting everyone to the care of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The entire event, as presented, is a masterclass in modernist sentimentality, a public relations exercise devoid of the supernatural substance of the Catholic Faith. It is a performance designed to project an image of a benevolent, caring “Church” while systematically omitting the very truths that would give such words any lasting weight or efficacy. This is not the action of the true Church of Christ; it is the theater of the conciliar sect, a paramasonic structure that has long since abandoned its divine mission to preach the whole truth and save souls.
The Omission of Original Sin and the Fall: A God Who Permits “Injustice” Without Explaining Its Root
The most glaring and damning omission in Leo XIV’s address is any mention of the Fall of man, Original Sin, and the consequent state of spiritual and temporal disorder that afflicts humanity. He speaks of “misery, suffering, and injustice” as if they were mere external circumstances, unfortunate events that happen to people, rather than the direct and indirect consequences of sin – both original and personal. The Catechism of the Council of Trent teaches clearly that “by the sin of Adam, the human race was not only deprived of the state of original justice, but also became subject to all those miseries and infirmities which are the just punishment of that sin” (Part I, Chapter II). The modernist “pope” presents a God who is simply “present” in suffering, a passive observer, rather than the Just Judge who permits suffering as a consequence of sin and as a means of purification and expiation. This is a fundamental distortion of the divine nature. God is not merely “present” in suffering; He is the Lord of all, who permits suffering for His greater glory and the salvation of souls, and who has provided the means of salvation through His Church and the sacraments. To speak of God’s presence without speaking of His justice, His wrath against sin, and the necessity of repentance is to preach a false god, a god of the modernists’ own making, a god who is all love and no justice, all mercy and no truth. This is the god of the New Advent, a god who is indistinguishable from the god of the pagans and the deists.
The “Promise” Without the Covenant: A Future Devoid of Supernatural Hope
Leo XIV tells the children, “You are called to a future that is greater than your wounds. You are bearers of a promise.” What promise? He does not say. Is it the promise of eternal life? The promise of heaven? The promise of the Beatific Vision? No. The promise is left deliberately vague, open to interpretation, a blank check that can be filled with whatever the listener desires. This is the language of modernist immanentism, which focuses solely on this world and this life, reducing the supernatural to the natural, the divine to the human. The true Church teaches that the ultimate promise is the promise of salvation, of eternal union with God in heaven, a promise that is fulfilled through faith, good works, and the sacraments. The Council of Trent, in its Sixth Session, Chapter XVI, declares: “For, although Christ died for all, yet all do not receive the benefit of His death, but those only to whom the merit of His passion is communicated.” The modernist “pope” offers no such clarity. He offers a “future” that is “greater than wounds,” but he does not specify what that future entails. Is it a better life on earth? A life free from suffering? This is the language of secular humanism, not of the Catholic Faith. It is the language of the United Nations, not of the Church of Christ. The true promise is the promise of the Gospel: “Repent, and believe in the Gospel” (Mark 1:15). This promise is not vague; it is specific, demanding, and supernatural. It requires a change of heart, a turning away from sin, and a turning towards God. It requires faith, hope, and charity. It requires the sacraments, especially Baptism, Confession, and the Holy Eucharist. None of this is mentioned by the usurper. His “promise” is an empty vessel, a sentimental platitude that offers no real hope, no real consolation, no real salvation.
“Divine Mercy” as a Substitute for Justice: The Cult of Sentimentality
The “pope” praises the staff, stating, “Your patience reflects the face of divine mercy.” This is a classic modernist trope: the reduction of God’s mercy to a mere reflection of human sentimentality. Divine mercy is not simply patience or kindness; it is the attribute of God by which He forgives sins and grants grace to those who repent. The Psalmist declares: “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy” (Psalm 103:8). But this mercy is always accompanied by justice. God is not merely merciful; He is also just. He punishes sin and rewards virtue. The modernists, however, have created a false dichotomy between mercy and justice, presenting a God who is all mercy and no justice, a God who forgives without requiring repentance, a God who loves without demanding obedience. This is the god of the New Theology, the god of Karl Rahner and his disciples, a god who is immanent in the world and in the human heart, a god who is indistinguishable from the human conscience. The true Church teaches that mercy and justice are not opposed but are two attributes of the same God, perfectly united in His divine nature. The Council of Trent, in its Sixth Session, Chapter XIV, teaches: “For, although the sacraments of the New Law are not all necessary for salvation, yet, without them, or without the desire thereof, men cannot obtain the grace of justification.” The modernist “pope” offers no such teaching. He offers only sentimentality, a false mercy that is no mercy at all, for it does not lead to repentance, conversion, or salvation.
The “Family” of Man: A Naturalistic Vision of Community
Leo XIV tells the children, “Indeed, you form a true family here, with brothers and sisters who all share a similar history marked by suffering. In this family, your eldest brother is Jesus!” This is a perfect example of the modernist concept of the “family of man,” a naturalistic vision of community that is divorced from the supernatural reality of the Church. The true family of God is the Church, the Mystical Body of Christ, composed of all those who are united to Christ through faith and baptism. The Council of Trent, in its Seventh Session, Canon I, declares: “If anyone says that the sacraments of the New Law were not all instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ; or that they are more or less than seven, namely, Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Penance, Extreme Unction, Orders, and Matrimony; or that any one of these seven is not truly and properly a sacrament: let him be anathema.” The modernist “pope” reduces the family to a mere human association, a group of people who share a common experience of suffering. This is the language of secular humanism, not of the Catholic Faith. It is the language of the United Nations, not of the Church of Christ. The true family is the family of God, the Church, and the true eldest brother is not merely Jesus as a historical figure, but Jesus as the Head of the Church, the source of all grace and salvation. To speak of Jesus as the “eldest brother” without speaking of His divinity, His role as Redeemer, and His presence in the sacraments is to reduce Him to a mere moral example, a good man who suffered and died, but who is not the Son of God, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, the Savior of the world.
The “Education for All” Without the Faith: The Cult of Secular Humanism
The article mentions that one of the staff members, a former student, expressed his gratitude for the work of the Daughters of Mary and reaffirmed his commitment to promoting an “education for all,” without exclusion. This is a direct echo of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4: “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.” It is a purely naturalistic, secular goal, devoid of any supernatural content. The true Church teaches that education must be rooted in the Faith, that the purpose of education is to lead souls to God, to prepare them for eternal life. Pope Pius XI, in his encyclical *Divini Illius Magistri* (1929), states: “The proper and immediate end of Christian education is to cooperate with divine grace in forming the true and perfect Christian, that is, to form Christ Himself in those regenerated by Baptism… Hence the true Christian product of Christian education is the supernatural man who thinks, judges, and acts constantly and consistently in accordance with right reason illumined by the supernatural light of the example and teaching of Christ.” The modernist “pope” offers no such vision. He offers only a secular education, an education that is “for all” but which excludes the most important thing: the knowledge of God, the knowledge of the Faith, the knowledge of the means of salvation. This is the education of the world, not of the Church. It is the education of the Antichrist, not of Christ.
The Invocation of Mary Without the Rosary: A Hollow Gesture
Finally, the “pope” concludes by entrusting everyone to the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary: “As I impart my heartfelt blessing, I entrust each of you to the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our mother. May she always watch over you, console you in moments of sadness, and help you to grow as true friends of her son, Jesus.” This is a hollow gesture, a mere formality, devoid of any real content. The true devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary is not simply a matter of entrusting oneself to her protection; it is a matter of imitating her virtues, of praying the Rosary, of wearing the Brown Scapular, of practicing the First Saturdays, of consecrating oneself to her Immaculate Heart. The modernists have systematically downplayed and even suppressed these devotions, replacing them with a vague, sentimental “devotion” that is no devotion at all. Pope Pius X, in his encyclical *Ad Diem Illum* (1904), teaches: “Whoever wishes to be truly devout to the Blessed Virgin must have recourse to her in all his necessities, must invoke her with great confidence, and must strive to imitate her virtues.” The modernist “pope” offers no such teaching. He offers only a vague invocation, a sentimental gesture that has no power to save, no power to protect, no power to console. It is the invocation of a false Mary, a Mary who is not the Mother of God, but merely a good woman, a model of virtue, a symbol of the Church. This is the Mary of the modernists, not the Mary of the Catholic Faith.
The Performance of Compassion: A Public Relations Exercise
The entire event, as described in the article, is a performance, a public relations exercise designed to project an image of a caring, compassionate “Church.” The “pope” is welcomed by “happy chatter,” he listens “with delight” to songs, he “applauds with satisfaction,” he is “moved” by a recitation. This is the language of the world, not of the Church. It is the language of celebrity, not of sanctity. The true Church does not seek the approval of the world; it seeks the glory of God. The true Church does not perform compassion; it practices charity. The Council of Trent, in its Twenty-Second Session, Chapter II, teaches: “For, in the first place, the sacred and holy Synod teaches, and openly and simply professes, that, in the august sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, after the consecration of the bread and wine, our Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true man, is truly, really, and substantially contained under the species of those sensible things.” The modernist “pope” offers no such teaching. He offers only a performance, a show, a spectacle. This is the religion of the Antichrist, not the religion of Christ.
The Silence on the Sacraments: The Most Damning Omission
Perhaps the most damning omission of all is the complete silence on the sacraments. There is no mention of Baptism, Confession, the Holy Eucharist, Confirmation, or any of the other sacraments that are the ordinary means of grace and salvation. The children are not told that they must be baptized to be saved. They are not told that they must confess their sins to a priest to receive absolution. They are not told that they must receive the Holy Eucharist to have eternal life. They are not told that they must be confirmed to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. They are not told anything about the supernatural life of grace, the life of the soul, the life that is the only thing that ultimately matters. This is the religion of the modernists, a religion that is all about this world and nothing about the next. It is a religion that is all about feelings and nothing about truth. It is a religion that is all about man and nothing about God. The Council of Trent, in its Seventh Session, Canon IV, declares: “If anyone says that the sacraments of the New Law are not necessary for salvation, but superfluous; and that, without them, or without the desire thereof, men obtain from God, through faith alone, the grace of justification: let him be anathema.” The modernist “pope” offers no such teaching. He offers only a naturalistic, humanistic, sentimental “religion” that is no religion at all. It is the religion of the Antichrist, the religion of the New World Order, the religion of the abomination of desolation that stands in the holy place.
Conclusion: The Bankruptcy of the Conciliar Sect
The visit of the usurper Leo XIV to the Ngul Zamba Orphanage in Cameroon is a perfect microcosm of the bankruptcy of the conciliar sect. It is a performance devoid of substance, a message devoid of truth, a “religion” devoid of God. It is the religion of the modernists, the religion of the New Advent, the religion of the Antichrist. It is a religion that speaks of “God’s presence” but ignores His justice. It is a religion that speaks of a “promise” but ignores the Covenant. It is a religion that speaks of “divine mercy” but ignores the necessity of repentance. It is a religion that speaks of “family” but ignores the Church. It is a religion that speaks of “education” but ignores the Faith. It is a religion that speaks of Mary but ignores the Rosary. It is a religion that speaks of compassion but ignores the sacraments. It is a religion that is all about man and nothing about God. It is a religion that is all about this world and nothing about the next. It is a religion that is all about feelings and nothing about truth. It is a religion that is all about the Antichrist and nothing about Christ. Let us reject this false religion and return to the true Faith, the Faith of the Fathers, the Faith of the Council of Trent, the Faith of the Roman Catechism, the Faith of the true Church of Christ, which endures in the faithful who profess the integral Catholic faith and are led by bishops with valid sacraments and validly ordained priests. Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus. Outside the Church, there is no salvation. And the conciliar sect is not the Church. It is the abomination of desolation. It is the synagogue of Satan. It is the kingdom of the Antichrist. Let us flee from it and return to the true Church, the Church of all ages, the Church of the Apostles, the Church of the Martyrs, the Church of the Saints, the Church of Christ our Lord.
