Antipope Leo XIV on Vanity Fair List: Sacred Vestments Profaned by Worldly Vanity
EWTN News portal reports that antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) has been named to Vanity Fair’s annual “Best Dressed” list in “the originals” category, the second such fashion accolade after Vogue’s similar recognition in December 2025. The article details the papal garments he has revived—the red mozzetta, white cassock, fascia, and stole—explaining their historical origins and symbolic meanings in purely naturalistic terms, while noting his predilection for white Nike sneakers and baseball caps as expressions of his “innate Americanness.” This celebration of sacred vestments as fashion accessories by a secular magazine, enthusiastically reported by a neo-church media outlet, exposes the complete profanation of the priesthood and the reduction of the Church’s supernatural mission to a worldly spectacle.
