Neo-Modernist Pacifism Replaces Christ’s Kingship in Vatican Peace Message
VaticanNews portal (December 30, 2025) promotes Robert Prevost (referred to as “Pope Leo XIV”)’s World Day of Peace message advocating “an unarmed and disarming peace.” Marie Dennis of Pax Christi’s Catholic Institute for Non-Violence praises this “Gospel non-violence” as a “concrete framework” for global peacebuilding. The article frames peace as a human-centered process of “relationship-building” and “dialogue,” omitting all reference to the Social Kingship of Christ or the necessity of societal conversion to the Catholic Faith.
