EWTN News portal reports on the official itinerary for the apostate antipope Leo XIV’s journey to Spain, scheduled for June 6–12, 2026. The journey, encompassing Madrid, Barcelona, and the Canary Islands, is a meticulously staged spectacle of the post-conciliar sect’s apostasy, designed to project an image of pastoral concern while systematically avoiding the only true remedy for society’s ills: the Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the integral Catholic faith. This “apostolic journey” is not a mission of evangelization, but a global tour for the religion of humanitarianism, a diplomatic endorsement of secular powers, and a profound scandal to the faithful.
The Itinerary of Apostasy: A Week-Long Evangelization of Nothing
The announced program is a masterclass in modernist vacuity. It is a journey through the abomination of desolation that has taken possession of the Vatican structures. Every event is meticulously designed to avoid the proclamation of the one thing necessary: the necessity of conversion to the Catholic Faith, the reality of sin, the need for sacramental confession, and the absolute lordship of Christ the King over all nations and individuals.
The journey begins with a courtesy visit to the king and queen of Spain. This is not a meeting to admonish a Catholic monarch to uphold the Church’s rights and the salvation of his people, as was the duty of every true pope. It is a diplomatic courtesy call, an endorsement of a secular, liberal state that has legalized abortion, promoted gender ideology, and systematically dismantled Catholic influence in public life. The antipope will meet with “government officials, members of civil society, and the diplomatic corps,” delivering an address that, based on the entire conciliar tradition, will be a masterpiece of ambiguity, praising “dialogue,” “peace,” and “human fraternity” while remaining criminally silent on the sins of the Spanish state and its leaders. As Pope Pius XI taught in Quas Primas, the state has a duty to publicly honor Christ and obey Him, and the pope’s role is to remind them of this duty, not to dine with them as a peer among a community of nations.
The visit to a homeless facility and a migrant reception center is the modernist substitute for charity. True Catholic charity, as practiced by the saints, always subordinated the temporal good to the supernatural good, leading souls to God through the sacraments. This “outreach” is purely naturalistic, a public relations exercise in “social concern” that implicitly endorses the secular, humanitarian framework. It is the “preferential option for the poor” divorced from the “preferential option for the Faith.” There is no mention of offering these souls the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, of instructing them in the catechism, or of leading them to baptism and confession. It is charity reduced to social work, a blasphemous parody of the Church’s mission.
The Liturgical Abomination: “Masses” and Prayer Vigils
The itinerary includes the celebration of four public “Masses.” This is the most grievous scandal. The post-conciliar “Mass,” the Novus Ordo Missae, is a Protestantized rite that obscures the propitiatory nature of the Sacrifice, reduces the priest to a mere “presider,” and transforms the liturgy into a community meal. It is, as the theological objections in the attached file on Fatima state, a diminishment of the efficacy of the Holy Mass in favor of spectacular acts. To participate in such a rite is, at best, to receive no grace, and at worst, to commit sacrilege by adoring a ceremony that denies the very essence of the Faith. The “prayer vigils” with young people and at the Olympic Stadium are equally suspect, being showcases for emotional manipulation, modern music, and a complete absence of the supernatural. They are liturgical innovations with no basis in Catholic tradition, designed to create an experience, not to offer worship to the Most Holy Trinity.
The meeting with the Order of St. Augustine is a bitter irony. The Augustinians, like all religious orders, have been devastated by the post-conciliar revolution, their rule of life relaxed, their habit discarded, their mission secularized. A meeting with the antipope is not a source of renewal but a further step in their integration into the conciliar sect. The “Weaving Networks with the Worlds of Culture, Art, and Sport” event is a perfect encapsulation of the modernist project: the Church’s mission is not to consecrate these spheres to Christ, but to “dialogue” with them on their own terms, to be “relevant” to a world that hates God.
The Scandal of Political Recognition: Addressing the Cortes Generales
Perhaps the most symbolically damning event is Leo XIV’s address to the Spanish Congress of Deputies, the Cortes Generales. He will be the first “pontiff” to do so. This is not a triumph for the Church; it is a final, public act of submission to the secular state. The Syllabus of Errors, promulgated by Pope Pius IX, explicitly condemns the idea that the Church should be separated from the State and the State from the Church (Proposition 55). It condemns the idea that the civil authority can interfere in matters relating to religion and spiritual government (Proposition 44). By addressing the legislature of a secular republic, the antipope implicitly endorses the very liberalism and laicism that the pre-conciliar Magisterium condemned as a “plague” and a “public apostasy.” He is not there to demand the repeal of anti-Catholic laws or the establishment of the Catholic Faith as the state religion. He is there as a guest, a moral voice among many, a chaplain to a system that has rejected Christ the King. This act is a formal recognition of the abomination of desolation in the holy place of Spanish public life.
The Migrant Crisis: A Tool for Syncretism and Relativism
The focus on migrants in the Canary Islands is a central theme of the conciar religion. While the Church has always taught the duty of charity towards the stranger, the post-conciliar approach is fundamentally different. It is divorced from the primary duty of evangelization. The itinerary includes visits to reception centers and a meeting on “migrant integration initiatives,” but there is no mention of the necessity of their conversion to the Catholic Faith for their eternal salvation. This is the false ecumenism and religious indifferentism condemned by the pre-conciliar Magisterium. The Church’s mission is not to facilitate “integration” into a secular, godless society, but to bring souls to the one true Faith. As Pope Pius XI stated, the reign of Christ extends to all non-Christians, and the Church’s mission is to lead them to baptism and the sacraments. The modernist approach reduces the Church to a non-governmental organization (NGO) managing a humanitarian crisis, a role that implicitly endorses the secular, globalist agenda of “open borders” and “multiculturalism,” which are themselves fruits of the Masonic principles of liberalism and the denial of the spiritual order.
The meeting with bishops, priests, and religious at Santa Ana Cathedral is a meeting of apostates. These are the men who have accepted the conciar revolution, who celebrate the false “Mass,” who teach a watered-down, modernist catechism, and who have failed in their primary duty to preach the Gospel in its entirety. They are not the successors of the Apostles; they are the custodians of a ruin. Their gathering with the antipope is not a synod of reform but a rally of the faithful of the new religion.
Conclusion: A Journey That Leads Nowhere
The entire itinerary of Leo XIV’s trip to Spain is a closed loop of modernist error. It is a journey that begins and ends in the abomination of desolation. There is no call to conversion, no condemnation of heresy, no demand for the Social Kingship of Christ, no offering of the true Mass, no administration of the sacraments in their integrity. It is a diplomatic tour, a public relations exercise, and a liturgical scandal, all rolled into one. It is the perfect embodiment of the post-conciliar sect: a church that has ceased to be a perfect society endowed with all the means of salvation, and has become a humanitarian NGO, a voice in the global dialogue of world religions, and a chaplain to the liberal, secular order. The faithful must reject this spectacle entirely. They must cling to the unchanging Tradition of the Church, to the true Mass, to the sacraments, and to the Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who alone is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. As the Syllabus of Errors reminds us, the Roman Pontiff can and ought to reconcile himself to progress, liberalism, and modern civilization only by betraying his divine mission. Leo XIV’s journey to Spain is a journey further into that betrayal.
