Leo XIV’s Angelus: Naturalistic Distortion of John the Baptist’s Witness
VaticanNews portal reports on January 18, 2026 that antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) delivered an Angelus address emphasizing humanity’s “preciousness in God’s eyes” while reducing St. John the Baptist’s witness to a psychological exercise in humility. The article quotes the usurper’s call to “make time each day” for prayer and reflection to “encounter the Lord Who loves us,” conspicuously avoiding any reference to repentance, grace, or sacramental life.
