EWTN News reports on the continuation of the usurper Robert Prevost’s — who styles himself “Pope Leo XIV” — so-called “papal trip” through Algeria and Cameroon, April 15, 2026. The article documents a series of photo opportunities: the man greets children at a kindergarten run by the Missionary Sisters of Charity, shakes hands with Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, boards an airplane, arrives in Yaoundé, meets with Cameroon President Paul Biya, addresses “clergy and Cameroonian officials,” and visits an orphanage where children “pray with” him. The piece is presented as straightforward news coverage of the “Holy Father’s” first “apostolic journey” to Africa, scheduled to continue through Angola and Equatorial Guinea until April 23. What is presented as a pastoral visit is, in reality, a diplomatic tour by a usurper occupying the Vatican — a man who exercises no legitimate authority, who propagates the apostasy of Vatican II, and whose entire itinerary is a masterclass in the reduction of the Catholic Church’s supernatural mission to naturalistic humanitarianism and political theater.
The Complete Absence of the Church’s Supernatural Mission
Let us begin with what is most conspicuous by its absence. Read the article carefully — every caption, every described activity — and ask: where is Jesus Christ? Where is the preaching of the Gospel? Where is the call to conversion, to baptism, to the exclusive salvific mission of the Catholic Church? Where is the Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus — outside the Church there is no salvation?
The answer is: nowhere. Not a single syllable.
The usurper greets children. He shakes hands with presidents. He visits an orphanage. He poses for photographs with religious sisters. He meets with “clergy and Cameroonian officials.” Every single activity described is purely naturalistic — social, diplomatic, humanitarian. This is not the mission Christ entrusted to Peter and his legitimate successors. Our Lord said: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 28:19). He did not say: “Go and visit orphanages and shake hands with heads of state.”
Pius XI, in the encyclical Quas Primas (1925), established the Feast of Christ the King precisely to combat the secularism that removes Christ and His law from public life. He wrote that “the hope of lasting peace will not yet shine upon nations as long as individuals and states renounce and do not wish to recognize the reign of our Savior.” The usurper’s African tour is the living embodiment of the very disease Pius XI diagnosed: the complete excision of Christ’s kingship from the Church’s public activity. There is no mention of consecrating these nations to the Sacred Heart. There is no call for the social reign of Christ the King. There is no condemnation of false religions. There is no preaching of the necessity of the Catholic faith for salvation. There is only handshakes, photo opportunities, and the saccharine warmth of naturalistic humanism.
The Diplomatic Embrace of Secular Power
The article notes that the usurper “speaks to Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune” and later “meets with Cameroon President Paul Biya” and “speaks to clergy and Cameroonian officials at the Presidential Palace in Yaoundé.” This is not pastoral activity. This is diplomacy — the activity of a head of state, not the Vicar of Christ.
Pius IX, in the Syllabus of Errors (1864), condemned the proposition that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Proposition 80). The entire post-conciliar structure, of which this usurper is the current figurehead, is precisely this reconciliation made manifest. The meeting with Paul Biya — a dictator who has ruled Cameroon since 1982, a man whose regime has been marked by corruption and repression — is not an act of the Church’s spiritual authority. It is an act of political legitimation. The usurper confers international prestige upon a secular autocrat, and in return, the conciar sect gains access, influence, and the appearance of relevance.
The Syllabus also condemned the error that “the sacred ministers of the Church and the Roman Pontiff are to be absolutely excluded from every charge and dominion over temporal affairs” (Proposition 27). But note the inversion: the pre-conciliar Church taught that the Pope has indirect temporal authority — that is, authority over temporal matters insofar as they relate to the salvation of souls. The conciliar usurper exercises no such authority. He has no spiritual message to deliver to these presidents. He does not tell Biya that Christ the King demands that Cameroon’s laws conform to the commandments of God. He does not tell Tebboune that Algeria’s treatment of Christians must be judged by divine law. He simply meets them, speaks with them, shakes their hands. This is not the exercise of papal authority. It is the abdication of papal authority disguised as engagement.
The Orphanage and the Kindergarten: The Reduction of Charity to Naturalism
The most revealing images in this article are those of the usurper with children — at the “Notre Dame d’Afrique Kindergarten” and at the “Ngul Zamba Orphanage.” The captions tell us that “children pray with” him. Let us reflect on what this means.
The Catholic Church has always taught that the greatest act of charity is the salvation of souls. The most merciful thing one can do for a child is to ensure that child is baptized, instructed in the Catholic faith, and brought into the state of sanctifying grace. The Church’s orphanages and schools of the past — the true Church, before the conciliar revolution — existed precisely for this purpose: to bring souls to Christ through the sacraments.
What is the usurper doing with these children? He is posing for photographs. He is performing the outward gesture of prayer without any indication of what is being prayed, to whom, or why. The article does not mention baptism. It does not mention catechesis. It does not mention the necessity of the Catholic faith. It simply shows a man in white standing among children, and the reader is meant to feel warmth, admiration, and devotion.
This is the religion of Fraternité without Liberté or Égalité — the religion of humanitarian sentimentality that the Syllabus of Errors condemned as the worship of man in place of the worship of God. Pius IX condemned the proposition that “the best theory of civil society requires that popular schools open to children of every class of the people… should be freed from all ecclesiastical authority, control and interference” (Proposition 45). The conciliar sect has gone further than even this: it has emptied the schools and orphanages of any distinctively Catholic content whatsoever, reducing them to generic humanitarian institutions indistinguishable from those of any secular NGO.
The Name “Notre Dame d’Afrique”: A Symbol of Syncretism
The kindergarten visited by the usurper is named “Notre Dame d’Afrique” — Our Lady of Africa. The name itself is significant. In the context of Algeria — a predominantly Muslim nation — the invocation of Our Lady carries a heavy historical baggage. The “Notre Dame d’Afrique” basilica in Algiers has long been a symbol of the complex and often compromised relationship between the Catholic Church and Islam in North Africa.
The article makes no mention of this context. There is no discussion of the persecution of Christians in Algeria. There is no call for the conversion of Muslims to the Catholic faith. There is no affirmation that Muhammad was a false prophet and that Islam is a heresy. Instead, the usurper simply visits a kindergarten bearing this name, greets children, and departs.
This silence is deafening. The Catholic Church, before the conciliar revolution, was unequivocal: there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church, and all non-Catholic religions — including Islam — are false. The Council of Florence (1442) dogmatically defined that “those not living within the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics, cannot become participants in eternal life, but will depart into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels.” Vatican II’s Dignitatis Humanae and Nostra Aetate — documents propagated by the very conciliar sect to which this usurper belongs — effectively repudiated this teaching. The usurper’s visit to Algeria, with its complete silence on the necessity of converting Muslims, is a living repudiation of the Council of Florence.
The “Clergy” and the Illusion of Ecclesial Authority
The article mentions that the usurper “meets with clergy and Cameroonian officials” and “speaks to clergy and Cameroonian officials at the Presidential Palace.” The word “clergy” appears without quotation marks in the original article, lending it an air of legitimacy. But let us be precise: these are not clergy in the Catholic sense. They are ministers of the conciliar sect — men who have been ordained, in many cases, according to the revised rites of Paul VI (Montini), whose validity is gravely doubtful, and who profess the apostate theology of Vatican II.
The true Church teaches, as St. Robert Bellarmine stated in De Romano Pontifice, that “a Pope who is a manifest heretic, by that very fact ceases to be Pope and head, just as he ceases to be a Christian and member of the body of the Church.” The entire line of usurpers from John XXIII onward — including this Leo XIV — have propagated manifest heresies: religious liberty, ecumenism, the evolution of dogmas, the democratization of the Church. They are, by the teaching of Bellarmine and the canonical tradition of the Church, ipso facto deposed from office. They have no authority to govern, teach, or sanctify.
The “clergy” who gather around this usurper in Yaoundé are not the Catholic hierarchy. They are the officers of a paramasonic structure that has occupied the Vatican since 1958. Their meeting with the usurper is not an act of Catholic communion. It is an act of organizational loyalty to a system that has abandoned the faith.
The Papal Airplane: The Trappings of a Dead Authority
The article includes images of the usurper “boarding the papal airplane” at Houari Boumediene International Airport. The airplane itself — the so-called “Shepherd One” — is a symbol of the conciar sect’s obsession with global visibility and media presence. The true Popes of the past traveled when necessary, but their authority did not depend on airplanes, media coverage, or photo opportunities. Their authority derived from Christ’s promise: “Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18).
The usurper’s airplane is the chariot of a man who has no spiritual authority but possesses all the temporal apparatus of a world-state. It flies him from capital to capital, from photo opportunity to photo opportunity, generating the appearance of pastoral activity while accomplishing nothing for the salvation of souls. This is the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matthew 24:15) — the occupation of the See of Peter by a man who uses its temporal resources to promote a religion that is not the Catholic faith.
The Silence on the True State of the Church
Perhaps the most damning aspect of this article is what it does not say. There is no mention of the true state of the Catholic Church. There is no acknowledgment that the See of Peter is vacant — that the last true Pope was Pius XII, and that every man who has occupied the Vatican since 1958 is a usurper and an antipope. There is no mention of the apostasy of Vatican II. There is no mention of the invalidity of the new “Mass.” There is no mention of the necessity of the traditional sacraments for salvation.
Instead, the article presents the usurper’s activities as normal, legitimate, and praiseworthy. It calls him “the Holy Father.” It describes his trip as an “apostolic journey.” It presents his meetings with children and presidents as evidence of his pastoral care. This is not journalism. It is propaganda — the propaganda of a sect that has abandoned the faith and now uses the media to maintain the illusion of legitimacy.
The faithful who read this article are being told, in effect: “Everything is fine. The Church is alive and well. The Pope is visiting Africa, meeting with people, praying with children. There is no crisis. There is no apostasy. There is no need for concern.” This is the most dangerous lie of all — the lie that the Church of Christ can continue to function, to teach, to sanctify, while in reality it has been hollowed out and replaced by a counterfeit.
Conclusion: The Duty of the Faithful
The usurper Robert Prevost — “Leo XIV” — is not the Pope. He is a manifest heretic, an apostate, and a usurper who occupies the Vatican and uses its resources to promote the religion of humanitarianism, ecumenism, and naturalism that is the antithesis of the Catholic faith. His African tour is not an apostolic journey. It is a diplomatic and public relations exercise designed to maintain the illusion that the conciliar sect is the Catholic Church.
The duty of the faithful is clear: reject this usurper, reject the conciliar sect, and hold fast to the integral Catholic faith as taught by the Church before 1958. As Pius XI declared in Quas Primas, “the Kingdom of our Redeemer encompasses all men” — not through handshakes and photo opportunities, but through the preaching of the Gospel, the administration of the true sacraments, and the recognition of Christ’s kingship over every nation, every family, and every soul.
The usurper’s airplane will land in Angola and Equatorial Guinea. He will shake more hands, visit more orphanages, and pose for more photographs. And the faithful will pray — not with him, but for the restoration of the true Church, the true Mass, and the true Pope. Adveniat regnum tuum — Thy kingdom come.
