VaticanNews portal reports that on May 10, 2026, the usurper Robert Prevost, styling himself “Pope Leo XIV,” addressed the faithful in St. Peter’s Square following the Regina Coelii prayer. He offered prayers for mothers, celebrated the “Day of Coptic-Catholic Friendship” with the Coptic Orthodox schismatic Pope Tawadros II, and expressed gratitude to the Canary Islands for their “welcoming spirit” toward migrants. This address encapsulates the very essence of the post-conciliar apostasy: a systematic denial of the Church’s exclusive salvific mission, a fraternal embrace of schismatics and heretics, and a naturalistic reduction of the Faith to mere humanitarian sentiment, all while the true doctrine of the Church is buried beneath a veneer of false charity and worldly solidarity.
The Dogmatic Lie of “Perfect Unity in Christ” with Schismatics
The most egregious and doctrinally catastrophic statement in this address is the greeting extended to “His Holiness Pope Tawadros II,” head of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Leo XIV stated: “I extend a fraternal greeting to His Holiness Pope Tawadros II and assure my prayers for the entire beloved Coptic Church, in the hope that our journey of friendship may lead us to perfect unity in Christ, who has called us ‘friends.'” This statement is not merely imprudent; it is a direct and formal repudiation of the perennial and infallible teaching of the Catholic Church.
The Coptic Orthodox Church is a schismatic body that severed communion with Rome following the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD. They are Monophysites, denying the full and perfect union of the divine and human natures in the one Person of Jesus Christ. This heresy was condemned by the Council of Chalcedon, an ecumenical council whose definitions are binding on all Catholics. To refer to the head of this schismatic and heretical body as “His Holiness” and “Pope” is an act of profound disrespect toward the true Vicar of Christ and a public legitimization of a false church. It is a formal act of false ecumenism, which the pre-conciliar Church unequivocally condemned.
Pope Pius XI, in his encyclical *Mortalium Animos* (1928), explicitly and infallibly condemned the very premise of such “friendship” and “journey” toward unity with non-Catholics. He wrote:
The union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it, for in the past they have unhappily left it.
The encyclical further states that the Church
does not consider as legitimate any of the conferences or dealings with non-Catholics that are not based on the principle that the Catholic Church is the only true Church of Christ, and that she alone has the right to speak in His name.
Leo XIV’s statement is a direct violation of this infallible teaching. He does not call for the Copts’ conversion to the one true Church; instead, he embraces them as already possessing a share in Christ’s truth and speaks of a “journey of friendship” toward a unity that, by divine law, already exists exclusively within the Catholic Church. This is the heresy of religious indifferentism, condemned by Pope Gregory XVI in *Mirari Vos* (1832) and by the *Syllabus of Errors* of Pope Pius IX, which explicitly condemns the proposition that “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion, in which form it is given to please God equally as in the Catholic Church” (Proposition 18). The Coptic Church, being schismatic and heretical, is no different in principle from the Protestant sects condemned by Pius IX.
Furthermore, the use of the phrase “perfect unity in Christ” is a modernist corruption of Catholic ecclesiology. Unity is not a goal to be achieved through dialogue and mutual enrichment; it is an essential mark of the Church that already exists. *Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus* (Outside the Church there is no salvation) is the immutable dogma. The “unity” Leo XIV seeks is not the unity of the Catholic Faith, but a false, naturalistic unity based on a shared “friendship” with Christ, which bypasses the necessity of the sacraments, the Magisterium, and the acceptance of all revealed truth. This is the very “false ecumenism” that the pre-conciliar popes warned would be the hallmark of the end times, a counterfeit unity that serves the interests of the Antichrist by dissolving the boundaries of the true Church.
The Naturalistic Reduction of Motherhood and the Erasure of the Supernatural
Leo XIV’s greeting to mothers, while seemingly innocuous, is a perfect example of the post-conciliar Church’s reduction of the Faith to naturalistic humanitarianism. He said: “Through the intercession of Mary, the Mother of Jesus and our Mother, let us pray with affection and gratitude for every mother, especially for those living in the most difficult conditions.” The focus here is entirely on the natural, emotional, and social aspects of motherhood. There is no mention of the supernatural vocation of motherhood, the primary end of marriage being the procreation and education of children for Heaven, the necessity of baptism for salvation, or the dangers of mortal sin.
The Blessed Virgin Mary is invoked merely as a sentimental figure of comfort, not as the Mediatrix of All Graces, the Co-Redemptrix, and the Terror of Demons. The “intercession” sought is for temporal comfort in “difficult conditions,” not for the grace of final perseverance, the conversion of sinners, or the salvation of souls. This is a direct consequence of the modernist error condemned by St. Pius X in *Lamentabili Sane Exitu*, which rejects the supernatural order and reduces religion to a matter of human sentiment and social utility. The true Catholic teaching, as expressed by Pope Leo XIII in *Arcanum Divinae Sapientiae* (1880), is that the family is a society ordained by God for the generation and formation of children for God and for the Church, not merely for earthly well-being. By omitting all supernatural content, Leo XIV reduces the Church’s mission to that of a mere NGO, concerned with temporal welfare rather than the eternal salvation of souls.
The “Welcoming Spirit” and the Betrayal of Catholic Social Teaching
The gratitude expressed toward the Canary Islands for their “welcoming spirit” toward migrants, including those from the “Hondius Cruise Ship with hantavirus patients on board,” is another manifestation of the post-conciliar Church’s embrace of secular humanitarianism at the expense of Catholic social teaching. While the Church has always taught the duty of charity toward the stranger, this duty is always subordinate to the common good and the spiritual welfare of the community. Pope Pius XII, in his address to the Italian Catholic Action in 1946, clearly stated that the Church
does not intend to condemn the migration of individuals or families, but she does intend to affirm that the migration must be regulated by justice and charity, and that the common good of the receiving country must be taken into account.
The post-conciliar Church, however, has abandoned this balanced teaching in favor of an open-borders ideology that prioritizes the “rights” of migrants over the spiritual and temporal welfare of the native population.
This “welcoming spirit” is not Catholic charity; it is a naturalistic, secular ideology that serves the interests of globalism and the dissolution of national identities. It is a betrayal of the teaching of Pope Leo XIII in *Immortale Dei* (1885), which affirms that the state has a duty to protect its citizens and to promote the true religion. By praising the Canary Islands for welcoming migrants without any mention of the common good, the spiritual dangers of uncontrolled migration, or the duty of the state to protect its borders, Leo XIV reveals himself as a servant of the world, not of Christ the King. This is the very “cult of man” condemned by Pope Paul VI in *Humanae Vitae* (1968), which, despite being a post-conciliar document, at least acknowledged the dangers of reducing the human person to a mere object of social engineering.
The Abomination of Desolation: A Usurper on Peter’s Throne
Every word spoken by Robert Prevost from the balcony of St. Peter’s is an act of usurpation and a continuation of the conciliar revolution that has laid waste to the Catholic Church. He is not the Vicar of Christ; he is the figurehead of a paramasonic structure that has occupied the Vatican since the death of Pope Pius XII. His “prayers” are not the prayers of the Church; they are the incantations of a false religion that has replaced the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with a “memorial supper,” the true Presence of Christ in the Eucharist with a symbol, and the exclusive salvific mission of the Church with a universal “friendship” with all religions.
The faithful must recognize that the true Church endures, not in the structures of the Vatican, but in the hearts of those who profess the integral Catholic faith, who attend the true Mass, and who reject the modernist errors of the Second Vatican Council and its successors. The “Regina Coeli” prayed by Leo XIV is not the prayer of the Queen of Heaven; it is the prayer of a harlot who has betrayed her Spouse. Let us turn instead to the true Queen of Heaven, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and pray for the restoration of the true Church, the destruction of the modernist sect, and the return of a true Pope who will once again proclaim the Social Reign of Christ the King over all nations and all peoples.
