The National Catholic Register (NCRegister) portal reports on the visit of the usurper Robert Prevost, who styles himself “Pope Leo XIV,” to the Jean-Pierre Olié Psychiatric Hospital in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, on April 21, 2026. The article describes an event filled with songs, dancing, and testimonies, where the central message delivered was that “God loves us just as we are.” The so-called pontiff emphasized that a truly humane society is measured by how it “surrounds the vulnerable with love” and spoke of the need for “healing and restoration.” He praised the hospital’s mission to “combat stigma” and “integrate mental health into public policies,” while also highlighting the importance of the “spiritual dimension of care.” The article presents this visit as an act of Christian charity and a sign of the “civilization of love.” This event, stripped of any mention of sin, repentance, or the supernatural order, is a perfect distillation of the modernist heresy that has consumed the conciliar sect: a naturalistic, sentimental humanism masquerading as the Gospel, where the Redeemer is reduced to a mere affirmator of human dignity, and the Church’s mission is redefined as social work and psychological comfort.
The Erasure of Sin and the Heresy of Unconditional Acceptance
The most glaring and spiritually catastrophic omission in the entire account of this visit is the complete absence of any mention of sin, repentance, or the supernatural order. The usurper’s repeated refrain, “God loves us just as we are,” while superficially appealing to modern sensibilities, is a profound distortion of Catholic truth when divorced from the fullness of the Gospel message. It is the anthem of the conciar revolution: a God who demands nothing, who requires no conversion, no mortification, no turning away from sin. This is not the God of Holy Scripture, who is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29) and who commands, “Be ye holy, for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:16).
The Catholic faith teaches unequivocally that while God’s mercy is infinite, it is not unconditional in the sense that it leaves man in his sin. Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself said to the woman taken in adultery: “Go, and now sin no more” (John 8:11). He did not say, “Go, I love you just as you are, remain in your adultery.” The entire economy of salvation is built upon the reality of sin, the necessity of repentance, and the transformative power of grace. As Pope Pius XI declared in Quas Primas, Christ the King came to establish a kingdom that is “opposed only to the kingdom of Satan and the powers of darkness” and requires its followers “not only to renounce earthly riches and possessions, to be distinguished by modesty of conduct, and to hunger and thirst for justice, but also to deny themselves and carry their cross.” The usurper’s message, by contrast, is a gospel of self-affirmation, a denial of the Cross, and a betrayal of the Savior’s explicit command: “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me” (Matthew 16:24).
The “Civilization of Love” as a Substitute for the Kingdom of Christ
The usurper’s invocation of the “civilization of love” is not a Catholic concept but a modernist fabrication, a hallmark of the post-conciliar apostasy. It replaces the Kingdom of Christ the King with a vague, sentimental humanitarianism that has no doctrinal content and no supernatural finality. Pope Pius XI, in Quas Primas, was unequivocal: “The Kingdom of our Redeemer encompasses all men… His reign, namely, extends not only to Catholic nations or to those who, by receiving baptism according to law, belong to the Church, even though their erroneous opinions have led them astray or discord has separated them from love, but His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ.” The mission of the Church is not to build a “civilization of love” but to bring all men to the knowledge of the truth and to submit to the kingship of Christ. As the same pontiff lamented, the evils of society stem from the fact that “very many have removed Jesus Christ and His most holy law from their customs, from private, family, and public life.” The usurper’s visit, with its focus on “integrating patients into society” and “combating stigma,” is a perfect example of the Church’s mission being reduced to naturalistic social work, devoid of any supernatural purpose.
The Worship of Man and the Denial of the Supernatural
The entire event, as described, is a liturgy of the religion of man. The songs, the dancing, the testimonies, the poem – all are centered on human experience, human feelings, and human dignity. The usurper’s closing remark, that “many hidden ‘poems’ are composed every day ‘not with words, but with small gestures, with thoughtfulness and kindness in your relationships with one another,'” is a blasphemous substitution of human sentiment for divine worship. It is the religion of the New Advent, where the “merciful heart of Christ” is consoled not by the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, not by prayer and penance, but by “small gestures” of human kindness. This is the cult of man condemned by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors, which rejects the notion that “all the rectitude and excellence of morality ought to be placed in the accumulation and increase of riches by every possible means, and the gratification of pleasure” (Proposition 58), and instead elevates human sentiment to the highest good.
The usurper’s praise for the hospital’s mission to “combat stigma” and “integrate mental health into public policies” is a further indication of the conciliar sect’s capitulation to the world. The Church’s mission is not to make the world comfortable with sin but to call all men to conversion and holiness. As St. Pius X warned in Lamentabili Sane Exitu, the modernists seek to “reform the concept of Christian doctrine concerning God, creation, Revelation, the Person of the Incarnate Word, and Redemption” (Proposition 64), reducing Christianity to a “broad and liberal Protestantism” (Proposition 65). The usurper’s visit is a living embodiment of this modernist agenda.
The Complicity of the “Clergy” and the Betrayal of the Faithful
The hospital director, Bechir Ben Hadj Ali, is quoted as saying: “Our mission is clear: to provide care grounded in science, founded on ethics, and guided by a profound respect for the human person.” This is the language of secular humanism, not of Catholic theology. The “human person” is not the ultimate end; God is. The director’s emphasis on “science” and “ethics” without any reference to the supernatural virtues of faith, hope, and charity, or to the sacraments, is a clear indication that this institution, despite its nominal “Christian mission,” operates on purely naturalistic principles. The usurper’s praise for this approach is a scandal and a betrayal of the faithful, who are led to believe that such naturalistic humanitarianism is the essence of the Gospel.
The patient Pedro Celestino’s gratitude to the “first lady of the nation, Mrs. Constancia Mangue Nsue Okomo, patron of our hospital and of the most vulnerable people in the country,” further underscores the secular, political nature of the event. The Church’s charity is not patronage; it is the communication of supernatural grace. The usurper’s presence at such an event, his endorsement of its naturalistic mission, and his failure to preach the necessity of repentance and faith in Christ, mark him as a false shepherd who leads the flock astray.
Conclusion: The Abomination of Desolation in Action
The visit of the usurper Leo XIV to the Jean-Pierre Olié Psychiatric Hospital is not an act of Christian charity but a demonstration of the theological and spiritual bankruptcy of the conciliar sect. It is a masterclass in modernist sentimentality, where the Gospel is reduced to a message of unconditional human affirmation, the Cross is denied, and the mission of the Church is redefined as social work and psychological comfort. The complete absence of any mention of sin, repentance, or the supernatural order reveals the true nature of the post-conciliar apostasy: a naturalistic, man-centered religion that has nothing to do with the Catholic faith. As Pope Pius IX declared in the Syllabus of Errors, “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Proposition 80) is a condemned proposition. The usurper’s visit is a living testimony to the fulfillment of this condemnation, a sign of the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place. Let the faithful reject this false gospel and return to the immutable Tradition of the Church, which alone offers the true healing of souls through the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the sacraments, and which alone proclaims the full truth of the Gospel: that Christ came to save us from our sins, not to affirm us in them.
