The cited article from EWTN News reports that a stone from the altar of the Portiuncula, central to Franciscan spirituality, has been brought to the Apostolic Vicariate of Southern Arabia as a relic for the jubilee year dedicated to St. Francis, proclaimed by the antipope known as “Pope Leo XIV.” The relic is presented as a “sign of communion” and a tool for interreligious dialogue, particularly in Muslim-majority countries, under the pastoral guidance of “Bishop” Paolo Martinelli, a Franciscan Capuchin. The article emphasizes themes of fraternity, peace, and encounter, linking the event to the 800th anniversary of St. Francis’s death and to the 2019 Abu Dhabi visit of “Pope Francis.” This entire narrative constitutes a brazen manifestation of the post-conciliar apostasy, systematically dismantling Catholic doctrine on the Social Kingship of Christ, the exclusive salvific role of the Church, and the absolute prohibition against religious indifferentism.
