Montserrat Pilgrimage: Leo XIV’s Call for “Peace” and “Reconciliation” Masks the Absence of Christ’s True Kingship
VaticanNews portal reports on “Pope” Leo XIV’s apostolic journey to the Abbey of Our Lady of Montserrat in Spain, where he recited the rosary and delivered an address calling for “mercy, reconciliation, truth and gentleness.” The event, which took place on June 10, 2026, at the 1000-year-old Benedictine monastery near Barcelona, was attended by approximately 7,000 people. “His Holiness” spoke in Spanish and Catalan, urging the faithful to “renounce hurtful words, hasty judgment, gossip and slander,” and to “nurture love” so that “hatred may give way to hope and peace.” This address, while superficially appealing to Marian devotion, is a masterclass in the conciliar strategy of reducing the supernatural Faith to a vague, naturalistic humanitarianism, entirely devoid of the Church’s true mission: the salvation of souls and the public reign of Christ the King.
