Vatican News portal reports that on May 28, 2026, the usurper Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) met with members of the Italian Bishops’ Conference at the conclusion of their 82nd General Assembly. Speaking to these architects of the conciliar revolution, the antipope urged a “focus on the essential,” keeping the priority on the Gospel, which “awakens us” in today’s world “marked by complexity.” He reflected on the verse from Luke’s Gospel – “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few” – and stressed that “the Gospel awakens us.” He urged the bishops not to “complain about hardened soil or dwell only on statistics,” but rather to “know how to see, with the eyes of the Risen Christ,” the harvest God is preparing. He stated that “the priority is the Gospel,” and that faith is born from the Gospel “as a living encounter with Christ, dead and risen, present in His Church.” He posed two questions to the bishops: “What face of God do we allow to shine through in our preaching, catechesis, liturgy, charity, and in the life of our communities?” and “How do we foster an encounter with Christ, and what does it mean today, for us and for our Churches, to initiate others into the Christian life?” He emphasized that “bishops are called to be deep listeners to the Word of God, the People of God, and the signs of the times,” and that “a synodal Church is one in which each person, according to his or her vocation, can offer the gift received from the Spirit for the common building up.” He stressed that “participation is not optional” but a “requirement of communion and mission and must therefore become method, responsibility, and accountability.” Finally, he urged the bishops to “have the courage to focus on what is essential,” stating that “God does not ask us to measure the fruitfulness of the Church according to numbers, visibility, or influence,” but rather on “ongoing initiation and formation in Christian life, welcoming and missionary parishes where families can gather, and listening to young people without limiting their questions.” This address, dripping with the language of conciliar revolution, is a masterclass in the theological bankruptcy of post-conciliarism, revealing a “Church” that has abandoned its divine mandate for a purely naturalistic, humanistic, and ultimately Masonic agenda.
