The EWTN News article (February 6, 2026) reports that the antipope Leo XIV issued a letter titled “Life in Abundance” for the Winter Olympics, calling for an “Olympic Truce” while warning against sport’s corruption through profit, doping, and fanaticism. The text frames athletics as a “universal expression of our humanity” promoting peace and fraternity, cites Vatican II’s “positive assessment of sport,” and advocates sport as a “school of life” fostering “sharing” and “walking together.” This saccharine manifesto epitomizes the conciliar sect’s substitution of grace with natural virtues (Romans 1:21-23).
Naturalistic Humanism Masked as Christian Peacebuilding
The letter’s core premise—that ancient Greece’s pagan “ekecheiria” (Olympic Truce) offers hope for modern conflicts—constitutes blasphemous equivalency between divine revelation and pagan customs. Pius XI condemned such syncretism: “Christ’s peace… cannot be founded on the vain promises of the world” (Ubi Arcano, 1922). By urging nations to “rediscover… the Olympic Truce” rather than submit to Christ the King, Leo XIV fulfills Pius IX’s prophecy that false shepherds would “place the Church on equal footing with other religions” (Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 77).
Nowhere does the usurper mention the Social Kingship of Christ, despite quoting John 10:10. This omission proves the letter’s anti-supernatural agenda. As Quas Primas dogmatically declares: “Nations will enjoy… true peace only when they submit to Christ’s reign” (Pius XI, 1925). The counterfeit “pontiff” replaces this doctrine with vacuous appeals to “human dignity” and “fraternal relations,” echoing Freemasonry’s “liberté, égalité, fraternité.”
Vatican II as Theological Trojan Horse
The letter’s reference to Vatican II’s “broader context of culture” exposes its modernist foundations. St. Pius X warned that Modernists “pervert the eternal concept of truth” by subordinating faith to cultural evolution (Pascendi Dominici Gregis, 1907). By celebrating the Council’s endorsement of sport as “balanced human development,” Leo XIV promotes the heresy that “divine revelation is imperfect and subject to continual progress” (Lamentabili Sane, Proposition 5).
True Catholic teaching demands that recreation serve sanctification. St. John Bosco organized games to prevent occasions of sin, not as autonomous goods. As Aquinas teaches: “Bodily exercises are ordained for the soul’s health” (Summa Theologiae II-II.168.2). The letter inverts this hierarchy, praising tennis rallies’ “exhilarating” experience while reducing prayer to a footnote beside social activism.
Performance Cultism and the Gnostic Resurrection
Leo XIV’s warning against the “dictatorship of performance” rings hollow amid his promotion of transhumanist-ready athletics. His lament that AI could make athletes “optimized, controlled products” fails to condemn the underlying Manichean hatred of bodily limits inherent in elite sports. The Council of Trent anathematizes those who claim “man’s free will is destroyed by the Fall” (Session VI, Canon 5)—yet modern athletics presume Pelagian self-perfection through technology.
The letter’s fleeting mention of St. Pier Giorgio Frassati cannot mask its disdain for ascesis. Traditional hagiography honors saints who abandoned sports for penance—like St. Ignatius leaving his sword at Montserrat—but the conciliar sect canonizes “social influencers with hiking boots.” True athletes of Christ emulate St. Paul: “I chastise my body and bring it into subjection” (1 Corinthians 9:27).
Stadiums as Anti-Churches
Most damning is the letter’s silence on the necessity of conversion for peace. While decrying fanaticism, it never warns that Muslims, Buddhists, or atheists must embrace the One True Faith. Pius XII condemned this indifferentism: “Error cannot have rights before God” (Ci Riesce, 1953). The Olympic spectacle—where nations worship “gods of gold and silver” (Daniel 5:4) through medal counts—receives uncritical endorsement as a “secular cathedral.”
When antipopes bless such pantheistic festivals, they fulfill Our Lady of La Salette’s prophecy: “Rome will become the seat of the Antichrist.” Traditional Catholics recognize the Olympics’ masonic roots—revived in 1896 by Pierre de Coubertin, who designed its rituals to replace Christian liturgy. Leo XIV’s truce proposal continues this globalist sabotage of Christ’s exclusive claim to sovereignty (Quas Primas).
Conclusion: From Truce to Total Surrender
The conciliar sect’s sports manifesto exemplifies its apostasy. By replacing “regnavit a ligno Deus” (God reigned from the Cross) with stadium euphoria, it denies the primacy of the supernatural. As the Syllabus condemns: “Human reason is the sole arbiter of truth” (Proposition 3). Until nations kneel before the Eucharistic King, no “truce” will end history’s war between grace and sin. Let believers heed Pius XI: “Christ’s peace is in the Kingdom of Christ“—not in pagan games orchestrated by Antichurch usurpers.
