Apostolic Mandate Distorted: Modernist Betrayal in Mexico Mission Congress
VaticanNews portal (November 7, 2025) reports on antipope Leo XIV’s message to the 17th National Missionary Congress in Puebla de los Ángeles, Mexico. The text promotes a vision of missionary work centered on worldly engagement (“put our hands into the dough of the world”), praises syncretic evangelization in colonial Mexico, and invokes Our Lady of Guadalupe as a model of “perfect inculturation.” The antipope urges missionaries to address “poverty, social divisions,” and technological challenges while rejecting “force or numbers” in spreading the Faith.
