The cited article from the EWTN News portal reports that the usurper of Peter’s throne, Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), during his weekly general audience on April 29, 2026, condemned a surge of violence in Colombia, where rebel groups have carried out more than two dozen attacks on civilians and military bases ahead of the May 31 presidential elections. The deadliest incident was a bomb explosion on the Pan-American Highway in the department of Cauca, killing civilians on an intercity bus — described as the bloodiest massacre of civilians in the country in more than a decade. The usurper expressed “closeness in prayer to the victims and their families” and urged everyone to “reject every form of violence and to choose decisively the path of peace.” The article also covers his reflections on his April 13–23 apostolic journey to Africa (Algeria, Cameroon, Angola, and Equatorial Guinea), where he spoke of “peace,” “neo-colonial attitudes,” “authentic collaboration,” and the “dignity” of African peoples, and recounted a prison visit in Equatorial Guinea where inmates asked him to pray “for their sins and their freedom.” This address, wrapped in the language of humanitarian concern, is a masterclass in the conciliar sect’s systematic omission of the only true remedy for the world’s ills: the Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the integral Catholic faith.
The “Peace” of the World Versus the Peace of Christ
The usurper Leo XIV urged everyone to “reject every form of violence and to choose decisively the path of peace.” This sounds noble to the naturalistic ear, but to the Catholic soul formed by immutable doctrine, it is a hollow, vacuous exhortation — precisely because it is utterly devoid of any reference to the true source of peace. What peace does this man speak of? Not the peace of Christ, which is found only in His true Church and through obedience to His divine law. No — this is the peace of the United Nations, the peace of naturalistic humanism, the peace that Pius XI explicitly condemned as the foundation of modern society’s collapse.
Pius XI, in the encyclical Quas Primas (1925), stated with absolute clarity: “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.” The encyclical further declares: “when God and Jesus Christ — as we lamented — were removed from laws and states and when authority was derived not from God but from men, the foundations of that authority were destroyed, because the main reason why some have the right to command and others have the duty to obey was removed. For this reason, the entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation.”
This is the diagnostic that the conciliar sect has systematically buried for seven decades. The violence in Colombia — the massacres, the rebel attacks, the killing of innocent civilians — is not a mystery to the Catholic mind. It is the direct and inevitable fruit of the rejection of Christ the King by nations, by governments, and, most catastrophically, by the very structures that occupy the Vatican. When the “Church” herself no longer proclaims the necessity of the social reign of Christ, when she no longer demands that states recognize the divine law and the authority of the true Church to teach, govern, and lead souls to eternal salvation, then what follows is precisely what we witness: the unshackling of every concupiscence, the dissolution of social order, and rivers of blood.
The usurper’s “closeness in prayer” to the victims is a counterfeit of charity. True Catholic charity does not merely express sorrow and urge vague “peace” — it identifies the root cause of the evil and prescribes the supernatural remedy. The root cause is sin: original sin, personal sin, and the collective sin of nations that have expelled God from their laws, their schools, and their public life. The remedy is not “dialogue” or “collaboration” but conversion to the Catholic faith, repentance, and the submission of every aspect of public and private life to the kingship of Christ. Without this, every call to “peace” is a lie — a lie that perpetuates the very conditions that produce violence.
The Colombian Tragedy: A Consequence of Apostasy, Not Its Antithesis
The article notes that Colombia is experiencing “some of the darkest episodes of its armed conflict,” with 48 massacres and at least 229 people killed since January 2026 — “the most violent start to a year since the signing of the 2016 Peace Agreement.” The usurper’s response to this carnage is to “urge everyone to reject every form of violence.” But who is this “everyone”? The rebel groups? The Colombian government? The international community? And on what authority does this man speak? On the authority of natural reason alone — which Pius IX condemned in the Syllabus of Errors (1864), Proposition 3: “Human reason, without any reference whatsoever to God, is the sole arbiter of truth and falsehood, and of good and evil; it is law to itself, and suffices, by its natural force, to secure the welfare of men and of nations.”
The Colombian conflict did not emerge in a vacuum. It is the product of decades of socialist and communist insurgency — ideologies explicitly condemned by the Church’s Magisterium. But the conciliar sect, since John XXIII’s Pacem in Terris, has systematically refused to condemn communism by name, preferring instead the language of “peace,” “justice,” and “development.” This is not neutrality — it is complicity. By refusing to name the ideological enemy, by refusing to proclaim that communism is intrinsically perverse and that the Catholic Church alone holds the keys to true social order, the conciliar sect has left entire nations like Colombia defenseless against the forces of revolution.
Pius XI, in Quas Primas, identified the plague of the age as “secularism, so-called laicism, its errors and wicked endeavors,” which “began with the denial of Christ the Lord’s reign over all nations.” The encyclical traces the progression: first, the Church’s authority to teach and govern is denied; then the Christian religion is equated with false religions; then it is subordinated to secular power; then it is replaced by natural religion and “natural inner impulse.” This is precisely the trajectory that has culminated in the present catastrophe — not only in Colombia but across the entire world. And the conciliar sect, far from reversing this trajectory, has accelerated it through its false ecumenism, its religious liberty, and its abandonment of the Church’s public mission.
The usurper’s call to “choose decisively the path of peace” is therefore not merely inadequate — it is spiritually lethal. It directs the faithful away from the only true peace, which is the peace of Christ in His Kingdom, and toward the false peace of the world, which is the peace of compromise with error, with sin, and with the enemies of God.
The Linguistic Register: Bureaucratic Humanitarianism as Theological Apostasy
The language employed by Leo XIV and reported by EWTN News is revealing in its naturalism. The usurper speaks of “grave loss of human life,” “closeness in prayer,” and the need to “reject every form of violence.” There is no mention of sin, no mention of hell, no mention of the state of grace, no mention of the necessity of baptism, no mention of the final judgment, no mention of the Social Kingship of Christ. This is not an oversight — it is the defining characteristic of the conciliar sect’s discourse.
Pius IX, in the Syllabus of Errors, condemned the proposition (no. 80) that “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization.” The usurper’s language is precisely this reconciliation — a language stripped of supernatural content, designed to be acceptable to the secular world, to the United Nations, to the international community, to the very forces that are destroying Colombia and every other nation that has abandoned God.
The article’s description of the Africa trip further exposes this naturalistic register. The usurper speaks of “neo-colonial attitudes,” “authentic collaboration,” “dignity for each and every one,” and giving “voice to the African people.” These are the slogans of the United Nations Development Programme, not the language of the Catholic Church. The true mission of the Church in Africa — and everywhere — is the salvation of souls through the preaching of the Gospel, the administration of the sacraments, and the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom. It is not “development,” not “collaboration,” not “dignity” in the naturalistic sense. It is supernatural life, received through baptism, nourished by the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and perfected by grace.
The usurper’s reflection on his visit to Algeria — where he spoke of “the bridge with the Islamic world” — is particularly damning. The conciliar sect’s “bridge with the Islamic world” is a bridge built on the corpses of persecuted Christians across the Middle East and Africa. It is a bridge that leads not to the conversion of Muslims to the Catholic faith but to the legitimization of Islam as a valid path to God — a proposition that the Catholic Church has always condemned. Pius IX, in the Syllabus, condemned the indifferentist error (no. 17) 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.” And yet the conciliar sect builds “bridges” with those who deny the divinity of Christ, who reject the sacraments, who persecute the faithful — and calls this “dialogue.”
The Prison Visit: A Counterfeit of Mercy
The usurper recounted a visit to the prison in Bata, Equatorial Guinea, where inmates asked him to pray “for their sins and their freedom,” and where they prayed the Our Father together in heavy rain — described by the usurper as “a genuine sign of the kingdom of God.” This anecdote is presented as a touching moment of pastoral charity. But what is actually happening here?
First, the usurper’s presence in a prison, praying with inmates, is presented as though it were an act of profound spiritual significance. But the true sacramental remedy for sin — absolution by a validly ordained priest in the sacrament of penance — is not mentioned. The inmates asked for prayer “for their sins and their freedom,” but the usurper offers only the Our Father, recited in the rain. This is not the Catholic sacramental system — it is Protestant-style communal prayer, stripped of the power of the priesthood and the efficacy of the sacraments.
Second, the description of this moment as “a genuine sign of the kingdom of God” is blasphemous in its implications. The kingdom of God is the Catholic Church, governed by the true successors of Peter, offering the true sacrifice of the Mass and the true sacraments. The conciliar sect, which has gutted the Mass, corrupted the sacraments, and abandoned the Church’s divine constitution, has no authority to declare anything a “sign of the kingdom of God.” This is the language of the abomination of desolation — the usurpation of sacred things by those who have no right to them.
Third, the entire Africa trip is framed not as a mission of evangelization and conversion but as a humanitarian exercise in “giving voice” to African peoples and urging “authentic collaboration” with the international community. This is the conciliar sect’s replacement of the supernatural mission of the Church with a naturalistic social agenda. The true purpose of an apostolic journey is to preach Christ crucified, to administer the sacraments, to confirm the faithful, and to establish or strengthen the hierarchical structure of the Church. The usurper’s journey accomplishes none of these things in any meaningful sense — it is a diplomatic mission dressed in ecclesiastical vestments.
The Silence About the True Remedy: The Gravest Accusation
The most damning aspect of the usurper’s address is not what he says but what he refuses to say. In the face of massacres, violence, and social collapse, he does not once mention:
– The necessity of baptism for the salvation of souls
– The necessity of the true Mass as the propitiatory sacrifice for sin
– The necessity of the sacraments for the grace to live a Christian life
– The necessity of the Social Kingship of Christ over Colombia, over Africa, over all nations
– The necessity of repentance and conversion to the Catholic faith as the only remedy for social disorder
– The reality of hell and the final judgment as the ultimate consequences of sin
– The authority of the true Church to teach, govern, and judge in matters of faith and morals
This silence is not accidental. It is the systematic program of the conciliar sect since 1958: to reduce the Church to a humanitarian organization, to strip her discourse of supernatural content, and to present “peace” and “justice” as achievable through natural means — dialogue, collaboration, development — rather than through the supernatural means of grace that Christ instituted in His Church.
Pius XI, in Quas Primas, declared: “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.” And further: “Let rulers of states therefore not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ, but let them fulfill this duty themselves and with their people, if they wish to maintain their authority inviolate and contribute to the increase of their homeland’s happiness.”
This is the message that the usurper should be proclaiming — to Colombia, to Africa, to the entire world. Instead, he offers the empty platitudes of the United Nations, dressed in the vestments of a “pope” who has no authority from Christ.
Conclusion: The Usurper’s “Peace” Is the Peace of the Grave
The violence in Colombia is a symptom of a world that has rejected Christ the King. The usurper Leo XIV, by refusing to name the true cause and prescribe the true remedy, becomes not a healer but an accomplice. His “peace” is the peace of the graveyard — the peace that comes when the Church no longer disturbs the world with the demands of the Gospel, when she no longer calls nations to repentance, when she no longer proclaims that “there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
The faithful must reject this counterfeit peace and return to the immutable teaching of the Church: that peace is only possible in the Kingdom of Christ, that the Kingdom of Christ is His true Church, and that the true Church proclaims the fullness of truth without compromise with the world. The structures occupying the Vatican have abandoned this mission. The usurper’s address on Colombia is but one more evidence that the abomination of desolation continues to desolate the holy place — and that the faithful must seek the true Mass, the true sacraments, and the true faith outside the walls of the conciliar Babylon.
