Vatican News portal reports that the conciliar sect’s usurper, Leo XIV, is scheduled to visit the Republic of San Marino on the morning of August 22, 2026, en route to Rimini for the 47th edition of the Meeting for Friendship among Peoples. This announcement, issued by the Prefecture of the Papal Household on May 28, 2026, frames the visit as a “pastoral day trip,” continuing the post-conciliar pattern of reducing the Supreme Pontificate—a divinely instituted office—to a series of photo opportunities and diplomatic pleasantries devoid of supernatural content. The invitation was extended by the previous Captains Regent, Matteo Rossi and Lorenzo Bugli, heads of state of San Marino, a microstate whose political structure has long been entangled with liberal secularism and Masonic influence.
The Usurper’s Itinerary: From Vatican Puppet to Ecumenical Performer
The very notion of a “pastoral visit” by an antipope is an oxymoron rooted in the post-conciliar distortion of ecclesial authority. True pastoral care, as defined by the pre-1958 Magisterium, demands the proclamation of immutable doctrine, the administration of valid sacraments, and the defense of Christ’s social kingship over all nations—not ceremonial handshakes with secular rulers. Pope Pius XI, in his encyclical Quas Primas (1925), unequivocally declared that “the State must leave… freedom to the Church… and recognize that she has received from Christ the mission to teach, govern, and lead all to eternal happiness.” Leo XIV’s itinerary, however, reveals no such mission. Instead, it mirrors the conciliar sect’s obsession with visibility, dialogue, and political legitimacy—hallmarks of the Modernist revolution condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907).
Consider the destination: San Marino, a republic historically marked by anti-clerical legislation and Freemasonic penetration. Its government, like most modern states, operates under the liberal principle condemned in the Syllabus of Errors (1864): “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Proposition 55). That Leo XIV accepts hospitality from such a regime—without demanding its conversion or condemning its errors—exposes the hollowness of his claim to represent Christ the King. As Pius IX warned, “the present misfortune [of society] must mainly be imputed to the frauds and machinations of these sects [i.e., Masonic and liberal forces].”
The Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples: Syncretism Disguised as Charity
The true purpose of Leo XIV’s journey becomes clearer when one examines the Rimini event: the 47th Meeting for Friendship among Peoples. This annual gathering, initiated in 1980 by the post-conciliar sect, epitomizes the false ecumenism anathematized by Pope Pius XI in Mortalium Animos (1928). It brings together representatives of various religions—including Islam, Buddhism, and Protestant sects—under the banner of “friendship,” a term deliberately chosen to obscure the exclusive salvific role of the Catholic Church. The Church has always taught, following the Council of Florence (1439), that “no one remaining outside the Catholic Church… can become partakers of eternal life; but they will go to the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels, unless they are joined to Her before the end of their lives.”
By participating in this syncretistic circus, Leo XIV not only violates this dogma but actively promotes the heresy of indifferentism—the belief that all religions are equally valid paths to God. This is precisely the error condemned in Quas Primas: “the Christian religion began to be equated with other false religions and shamelessly placed in the same category.” The Meeting for Friendship is not a forum for evangelization; it is a stage for the conciliar sect’s theatrical performance of unity without truth.
The Silence on Dogma: What Leo XIV Will Not Say
What will Leo XIV proclaim in San Marino? One can predict with certainty what he will not say: that Christ is King of San Marino; that its laws must conform to divine revelation; that its citizens must convert to the Catholic Faith to be saved; that Freemasonry is a mortal enemy of the Church; that the post-conciliar “Mass” is a sacrilegious parody; or that the Novus Ordo Missae constitutes a rupture with Tradition. His silence on these points is not accidental—it is doctrinal. As St. Pius X wrote in Lamentabili Sane Exitu (1907), Modernists “aim at such a development of dogmas as appears to be their corruption.” Leo XIV’s entire pontificate is built upon this corruption.
Moreover, the article’s language is revealing. It refers to the visit as a “pastoral day visit,” a phrase that reduces the Vicar of Christ’s mission to a social call. There is no mention of preaching the Gospel, administering Confirmation, or demanding the submission of the state to Christ’s law. Instead, the focus is on logistics: “the Pope will thus stop in San Marino in the morning, before going to Rimini in the afternoon.” This is not the language of a successor of Peter; it is the language of a UN diplomat.
The Captains Regent: Collaborators in Apostasy
The invitation by Matteo Rossi and Lorenzo Bugli—the outgoing Captains Regent—further illustrates the collusion between the conciliar sect and secular power. These men, as heads of a republic that has historically suppressed Catholic education and promoted secularism, are not friends of the Church. Yet Leo XIV accepts their hospitality without condition, thereby lending his moral authority (such as it is) to a regime that rejects Christ’s sovereignty. This is a direct violation of Christ’s command: “He who is not with Me is against Me” (Matt. 12:30).
In contrast, true Catholic teaching demands that rulers publicly recognize Christ’s kingship. As Pius XI stated, “rulers of states… have the duty to publicly honor Christ and obey Him.” Leo XIV does the opposite: he honors the state by visiting it, while ignoring its duty to God. This inversion—where the Church serves the state rather than the state serving Christ—is the essence of the post-conciliar apostasy.
Conclusion: A Journey Without Faith, a Pontificate Without Truth
Leo XIV’s planned visit to San Marino is not a pastoral act but a political one. It serves to legitimize both the conciliar sect and the secular regimes that host it. It advances no dogma, demands no conversion, and condemns no error. It is, in short, a journey without faith—a fitting symbol of a pontificate built on the ruins of Catholic truth.
Let the faithful remember the words of Our Lord: “If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before you” (John 15:18). The conciliar sect, by seeking the world’s approval through events like the Rimini Meeting and visits to Masonic-friendly states, has chosen the world over Christ. Such a path leads not to friendship, but to perdition.
