The Usurper on Peter’s Throne Demands “Authenticity” While Occupying a Stolen Chair
EWTN News portal reports that the current usurper of the Apostolic See, Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), addressed presidents and senior administrators from Catholic institutions belonging to the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities on June 3, 2026. The occasion was the Rome Seminar, June 1–5, where university leaders met with senior Vatican officials to reflect on the “opportunities and challenges” of higher education. The occupant of the Vatican lectured these educators on “authenticity as true disciples of Christ,” quoting from his own encyclical Magnifica Humanitas and his apostolic letter Drawing New Maps of Hope. He spoke of instilling a “passion for the truth,” of Christ as truth itself, of the fragmentation of knowledge, and of the challenges posed by artificial intelligence. The entire spectacle is a masterclass in bureaucratic pious language that, when measured against the immutable standard of Catholic doctrine, reveals itself as yet another manifestation of the conciliar revolution’s systematic destruction of genuine Catholic education and its replacement with a naturalistic, modernist simulacrum.
