Antipope Leo XIV’s San Marino Visit: A Theatrical Legitimization of the Conciliar Usurpation Over a Relic of Christendom
The National Catholic Register (EWTN News) reports on the impending visit of the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) to the Republic of San Marino on August 22, 2026, marking only the third such visit by a claimant to the papal throne since the conciliar usurpation. The article enumerates ten historical and cultural curiosities about the microstate — its founding during the Diocletian persecution, its status as the world’s oldest republic, its papal protection since 1631, its unique dual captain-regent system, and its hosting of the “Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples” organized by the modernist lay movement Communion and Liberation. The piece reads like a travelogue sanitized of all supernatural content, presenting the visit as a benign pastoral gesture while ignoring the catastrophic theological reality: a manifest heretic, elected by a college of cardinals who themselves defected from the Faith, parades through a remnant of Christendom to legitimize the paramasonic structure occupying the Vatican. Non est in eo veritas (There is no truth in him).
