The National Catholic Register reports that on June 6, 2026, the antipope Robert Prevost — who usurps the name Leo XIV — arrived in Spain and delivered a speech to government leaders and the Spanish royal family at the Royal Palace in Madrid. He declared he came “to confirm, encourage and inspire a renewed loyalty of believers to the Gospel, as well as a deeper reconciliation and cooperation between the different forces of this Nation.” In typical modernist fashion, he invoked “dialogue with others — and with the Other with capital letters,” cited St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Jesus as “mystics with open eyes,” praised the School of Translators of Alfonso X where “specialists from the three religions collaborated,” explicitly naming the Muslim Averroes and the Jewish Maimonides as examples of “cooperation between religious traditions for the common good,” and warned against “the temptation to gain popularity by fanning the fire of polarization.” King Felipe VI responded by calling the antipope’s voice “a source of inspiration for more than 1.4 billion faithful” that “resonates, by its ethical content, far beyond, in all consciences.” Not once in this entire spectacle was Christ the King proclaimed, not once was the Catholic Church affirmed as the sole true religion, and not once was Spain called to its historic Catholic identity and the Social Reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the abomination of desolation speaking from the throne that once belonged to Peter.
