Antipope Leo XIV at Rimini: Counterfeit Mercy Usurps the Social Reign of Christ the King
Vatican News portal (August 22, 2026) reports on the address of the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) to the Rimini Meeting of the Communion and Liberation movement, wherein he opposes a “false realism that rearms” to an alleged “realism of mercy” in which “there can be no enemies.” The usurper invokes the apostate John Paul II, cites the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine as pretext for a pacifist agenda indistinguishable from Masonic humanitarianism, and demands the exposure of “unjust power relations” as the root of poverty and war. This address is not a pastoral exhortation but a manifesto of the neo-church’s definitive apostasy: it substitutes the regnum Christi with a humanitarian NGO, the lex divina with the “idolatry of profit” rhetoric, and the Crown of Thorns with a slogan of disarmed fraternity.
