Sport as “Encounter”: Leo XIV’s Naturalistic Reduction of the Supernatural
National Catholic Register portal reports on April 9, 2026, that Leo XIV — the current usurper of Peter’s throne — addressed athletes from the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Games, praising sport as a “space for encounter” in a world of “polarization, rivalry, and conflicts that escalate into devastating wars.” The speech, delivered in the Clementine Hall, reveals the utter spiritual bankruptcy of the conciliar sect: while the world burns in the flames of apostasy, revolution, and the systematic destruction of Christendom, the occupant of the Vatican reduces the Church’s mission to a saccharine endorsement of secular athletic competition, stripping the Faith of its supernatural substance and replacing the call to holiness with the cult of human performance and “relationships.”
