The Usurper’s Algorithm: When the Anti-Church Mocks the Papacy Itself
EWTN News portal reports that on June 8, 2026, the individual occupying the Vatican who styles himself “Pope Leo XIV” (Robert Prevost) met with the bishops of the Spanish Bishops’ Conference in Madrid. During the luncheon, the usurper reportedly joked about artificial intelligence still referring to his predecessor, stating: “He said that before leaving for the trip, he had contacted artificial intelligence to ask: What should the pope say to the Spanish bishops? And artificial intelligence told him: Pope Francis would say … So he stopped it and said: ‘I think there is another pope.’ And then artificial intelligence said: ‘Ah, that’s right, now it’s Pope Leo.'” The article further notes that the usurper employed technological imagery, telling bishops: “Then he told the bishops that we have another algorithm, and that other algorithm leads us to love people, to accompany them, and to become servants of the word.” The article also mentions that the usurper called for “a witness to unity in diversity” and spoke of communion with “the successor of Peter and with the universal Church.” This entire spectacle — a usurper of the Chair of Peter making light of his own illegitimate claim to the papacy while deploying the language of Silicon Valley to describe the mission of the Church — is a microcosm of the abomination of desolation that has occupied the Vatican since 1958, and it deserves the most rigorous unmasking.
