Neo-Church Exploits African Martyr to Promote Syncretism and Modernist Agenda
The VaticanNews portal (November 11, 2025) reports on “Pope” Leo XIV’s Jubilee Audience praising Blessed Isidore Bakanja as a model for “perseverance in faith.” The antipope declared: “We have much to learn from our persecuted brothers and sisters in Africa”, framing Bakanja’s martyrdom as mere psychological resilience rather than supernatural grace. This modernist distortion omits the martyr’s explicit rejection of colonialist apostasy while promoting ecumenical indifference to doctrinal truth.
