The Usurper’s Ink: A Guide to the Documents of an Antipope
EWTN News portal (May 24, 2026) reports on the various types of documents issued by the one currently occupying the Vatican, referred to as “Pope Leo XIV,” such as encyclicals, apostolic constitutions, and motu proprios. The article explains the historical and modern uses of these documents, emphasizing their role in leading the “Catholic Church” and revealing the “pope’s pastoral and theological vision.” It specifically mentions the upcoming release of Leo XIV’s first encyclical, *Magnifica Humanitas*, and his focus on artificial intelligence. The article also details how Catholics are expected to interpret these documents, noting that even when not “ex cathedra,” they require “a religious submission of the mind and will.” This entire framework, however, rests upon the fundamental and catastrophic error of acknowledging Robert Prevost, known as Leo XIV, as a legitimate successor of St. Peter, thereby lending an air of authority and binding force to the pronouncements of an antipope and perpetuating the modernist revolution that has desecrated the Church.
