Antipope Leo XIV’s Lourdes Spectacle: Theater of Penance Masking the Abyss of Apostasy
National Catholic Register (EWTN) reports on September 23, 2026, that the usurper Robert Prevost, styling himself “Pope Leo XIV,” will visit the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes from September 25–28 under the naturalistic motto “That the World May Have Life.” The visit centers on a staged meeting with seven abuse victims and a closed-door address to the French episcopate, both orchestrated to manage the fallout of the 2021 CIASE report estimating 330,000 victims since 1950. Concurrently, the shrine’s rector, Bishop Jean-Marc Micas, has covered mosaics by the accused predator Marko Rupnik—a cosmetic gesture hailed as “welcoming everyone.” This grotesque pageantry exposes the conciliar sect’s irreducible bankruptcy: it substitutes public relations for supernatural justice, naturalistic “dialogue” for the Kingship of Christ, and Masonic damage control for the immutable doctrine of the Faith.
