The Usurper on Peter’s Throne Reduces the Church to a UN Development Agency
EWTN News reports that the usurper Leo XIV, during his April 18, 2026 address to Angolan authorities in Luanda, called for the removal of “obstacles to integral human development,” praised African “joy and hope” as political virtues, condemned extractive economic models, and framed the Church’s mission in terms of social transformation, dialogue, and the common good. His remarks fit squarely within the pattern of conciliar pontiffs who have systematically replaced the supernatural mission of the Church — the salvation of souls through the preaching of the Gospel and the administration of the sacraments — with a naturalistic, horizontal program indistinguishable from the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The entire address is a masterclass in modernist omission: not a single word about the necessity of baptism, the state of grace, the Real Presence, the conversion of Angola to the Catholic Faith, or the social reign of Christ the King. This is not a pope speaking; it is a secular NGO director wearing a white cassock.
