Vatican News portal (February 3, 2026) announces the liturgical schedule of antipope Robert Prevost (“Leo XIV”), detailing parish visits from February to April 2026 and Easter ceremonies. The calendar includes five parish visits in Rome, Lenten spiritual exercises with the conciliar “curia,” and Triduum celebrations at St. Peter’s Basilica and St. John Lateran.
The EWTN News portal (February 3, 2026) reports on the International Religious Freedom (IRF) Summit in Washington, D.C., where co-chairs Sam Brownback and Katrina Lantos Swett lamented religious repression affecting “over 80% of the world’s population.” The article emphasizes China’s control over Catholic episcopal appointments, transnational repression by authoritarian regimes, and the need for interfaith alliances to combat nihilism. While decrying persecution, the summit promotes a pluralistic vision of religious freedom diametrically opposed to the immutable Catholic doctrine of Christ’s Social Kingship.
The EWTN News article from February 3, 2026 reports on the U.S. Solicitor General’s amicus brief supporting Catholic preschools challenging Colorado’s exclusion of religious institutions from its “universal” preschool program. The brief alleges religious discrimination against faith-based schools that maintain admissions standards based on Catholic teaching regarding sexual orientation and gender identity. Becket Law represents the Archdiocese of Denver and several parishes in this appeal to the Supreme Court after the 10th Circuit Court upheld Colorado’s policy.
EWTN News reports on a January 31, 2026, statement from the Conference of Catholic Bishops of Cuba (COCC), warning of potential “social chaos and violence” amid catastrophic fuel shortages and economic collapse. The bishops attribute the crisis to U.S. sanctions under President Donald Trump, which have severed Cuba’s oil imports from Venezuela, Russia, Algeria, and Mexico. They plead for “structural, social, economic, and political changes” while thanking the U.S. for hurricane aid distributed through their structures. The bishops invoke antipope Leo XIV’s call for “dialogue” to avoid violence, echoing their own appeal for “de-escalation” and “fruitful collaboration.” Cuban analyst Osvaldo Gallardo condemns the communist regime’s refusal to reform but stops short of demanding its overthrow, framing justice as “true peace.”
EWTN News reports on the so-called “pope” Leo XIV’s prayer intention for February 2026, focusing on children with incurable diseases. The article describes how this antipope blessed a child at a Lebanese hospital while reciting a prayer asking that “the smiles, even in the midst of pain” of sick children become “a testimony” of God’s kingdom. The text emphasizes “proper medical care,” “human and compassionate attention,” and “concrete gestures of solidarity” while invoking “a Church that… becomes a source of comfort, a seed of hope.” This naturalistic reduction of religion to social work exposes the conciliar sect’s abandonment of supernatural grace.
EWTN News reports that antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) has appointed Sr. Raffaella Petrini, a member of the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist, to the Commission for Reserved Matters. This body oversees financial contracts in “confidential areas” of the Vatican structure. The article celebrates this as “the first woman to serve on the commission” and part of a “growing presence of women in positions of responsibility within the Holy See.”
The EWTN News portal (February 3, 2026) reports on the 12th World Day of Prayer and Reflection Against Human Trafficking, organized by the Talitha Kum network with involvement from conciliar structures and secular NGOs. Events in Rome (February 4-8) include formation workshops, an ecumenical vigil at Santa Maria in Trastevere presided by “Cardinal” Fabio Baggio, and culminate in an Angelus with antipope Leo XIV. The theme—”Peace Begins with Dignity”—frames human trafficking as a humanitarian crisis requiring global cooperation, with no mention of Catholic doctrines on sin, grace, or Christ’s Social Kingship.
The conciliar sect’s “Dicastery for Divine Worship” announced the addition of John Henry Newman to its liturgical calendar, scheduling an “optional memorial” for October 9. This decree issued in the name of the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) constitutes sacrilegious innovation (Canon 2336) violating the immutability of Catholic worship.
EWTN News reports federal authorities have opened an investigation into the February 2 vandalism at Holy Innocents Catholic School in Long Beach, California, where perpetrators destroyed a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, attempted to desecrate the tabernacle, and ransacked liturgical materials. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon termed it an “awful crime,” while Los Angeles auxiliary “bishop” Marc Trudeau planned a “reparation Mass” and “Fr.” Peter Irving organized a “Eucharistic procession.” A fundraiser garnered $76,000 for repairs as Principal Cyril Cruz emphasized the community’s “prayer, faith, and hope” response.
EWTN News reports (February 3, 2026) on a New York jury awarding $2 million to Fox Varian, a woman who underwent double mastectomy at age 16 for alleged “gender dysphoria” before detransitioning. The verdict found psychologist Kenneth Einhorn and surgeon Simon Chin liable for inadequate mental health evaluation prior to this irreversible mutilation. The case exposes systemic failures in so-called “gender-affirming care,” with plaintiff attorneys claiming providers “departed from accepted medical standards” while carefully avoiding condemnation of transgender ideology itself. Dr. Alfonso Oliva, a Catholic Medical Association board member, cited studies revealing 70% complication rates for genital surgeries and a 19-fold suicide risk increase post-operation, condemning medical coercion of parents with false suicide threats.
