Vatican News reports that the current occupant of the Apostolic Palace, Robert Prevost (calling himself “Leo XIV”), will not visit the United States in 2026, while planning trips to Africa, Peru, and Spain. The article details anticipated stops in Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Peru, and Spanish cities including Madrid and Barcelona, framed through the lens of geopolitical engagement rather than supernatural mission.
Naturalism as Guiding Principle of Conciliar “Ministry”
The entire report manifests the conciliar sect’s complete inversion of ecclesiastical priorities. Nowhere does the article mention the raison d’être of apostolic journeys: the salvation of souls through public proclamation of Catholic truth. Instead, we find purely naturalistic descriptions resembling a CEO’s corporate itinerary: “timing broadly described as after Easter,” “timeframe in November or early December,” and “stops including Madrid, Barcelona, and the Canary Islands.”
This reduction of the Church’s mission to logistical planning constitutes a direct violation of Pope Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas, which teaches: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony” (§19). The absence of any reference to Christ’s social kingship in these travel plans exposes the conciliar sect’s fundamental apostasy from Catholic doctrine.
Illegitimate “Canonizations” and False Ecumenism
The article’s reference to Bergoglio’s 2015 US visit – where he “canonized Junípero Serra” – inadvertently highlights the sect’s doctrinal bankruptcy. The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 1999 §1) reserves canonizations exclusively to the Roman Pontiff, yet since Angelo Roncalli (“John XXIII”), all claimants to the papacy lack jurisdiction due to public heresy. St. Robert Bellarmine’s De Romano Pontifice (II.30) proves that manifest heretics automatically lose office without declaration. Thus, all post-1958 “canonizations” constitute theatrical blasphemies, including the invalid proclamation of Serra – a Spanish missionary whose true legacy remains subject to historical debate.
Moreover, the article’s glowing description of Wojtyła’s (“John Paul II”) 1979 meeting with President Jimmy Carter tacitly endorses the conciliar heresy of religious indifferentism condemned by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors: “Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true” (Error 15). True popes never sought photo-opportunities with promoters of abortion and moral dissolution, but rather issued solemn warnings like Pope Pius XI’s Mortalium Animos: “This being so, it is clear that the Apostolic See cannot on any terms take part in their assemblies, nor is it anyway lawful for Catholics either to support or to work for such enterprises” (§10).
Theological Vacuum in Modern “Pontifical” Diplomacy
Nowhere does the article address the spiritual devastation wrought by previous conciliar “papal” visits. Bergoglio’s 2015 US tour saw him praise the homosexual activist “Sr” Jeannine Gramick while ignoring the sacrilegious “communions” distributed to public sinners. Ratzinger’s (“Benedict XVI”) 2008 Ground Zero prayer session with representatives of false religions violated the First Commandment through practical syncretism. Wojtyła’s 1995 UN speech promoted the United Nations’ naturalistic vision of global governance antithetical to Christ’s command: “Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 28:19).
The planned African and South American itineraries continue this pattern of apostasy. Prevost will likely promote the Pachamama idolatry in Peru (as Bergoglio did in 2019) and ecumenical gatherings in Spain – all while suppressing the Traditional Latin Mass. As Pope St. Pius X warned in Pascendi Dominici Gregis: “It is pride which fills Modernists with that confidence in themselves and leads them to hold themselves up as the rule for all” (§40). The conciliar sect’s travelogue constitutes spiritual tourism divorced from the Church’s divine mandate to “teach all nations” the one true Faith.
Historical Continuity of Apostasy
The article’s historical recap unwittingly documents the conciliar sect’s progressive apostasy:
1. Paul VI’s 1965 UN speech inaugurated the neo-church’s surrender to globalist agendas, abandoning Pope Pius IX’s condemnation of “the idea of the State without God” (Qui Pluribus §15).
2. Wojtyła’s 1979-1999 tours transformed the papacy into a media spectacle, contradicting Pope Leo XIII’s teaching that “the Church, founded on these principles and mindful of her office, has done nothing with greater zeal and endeavour than she has displayed in guarding the integrity of the faith” (Immortale Dei §6).
3. Ratzinger’s 2008 visit epitomized the hermeneutic of continuity deception, maintaining Vatican II’s revolutionary principles while donning traditional vestments.
4. Bergoglio’s 2015 canonization farce culminated in the Pachamama scandals, fulfilling Pope St. Pius X’s prophecy: “They will put the modernists in charge of everything. They will have a pope who will be their slave” (Cardinal Ernesto Ruffini’s memoirs).
The current itineraries continue this trajectory, treating the Church’s divine constitution as a non-governmental organization. As Pope Pius XI declared in Quas Primas, “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony” (§19). The conciliar sect’s refusal to preach this truth confirms its status as the “abomination of desolation standing in the holy place” (Matthew 24:15).
