The Olympic Truce: A Pagan Substitute for Christ’s Peace
VaticanNews portal reports (February 1, 2026) that antipope Leo XIV has appealed for nations to observe the “Olympic truce” during the Milano-Cortina Winter Games, invoking this ancient Greek custom as a means to “ease tensions and seek dialogue” among warring states. The article emphasizes sports as vehicles for “fraternity” and “hope for a peaceful world,” quoting Leo XIV’s praise for “fair play, respect, team spirit, and sacrifice” as Olympic values. This plea for temporary peace through athletic competitions stands as the conciliar sect’s latest surrender to naturalism.
