Assisi’s “Fraternity” Prize: Masonic Syncretism Masquerading as Charity
The Catholic News Agency portal (January 16, 2026) reports that the Diocese of Assisi will award 50,000 euros to initiatives promoting an “economy of fraternity” inspired by Bergoglio’s Laudato Si’ and the beatification of Carlo Acutis. Former “archbishop” Domenico Sorrentino instituted this prize in 2020, with this year’s winner to receive an icon of Francis of Assisi and Acutis while being vested with Francis’ cloak at the Sanctuary of the Renunciation. Monsignor Anthony Figueiredo claims the award encourages grassroots projects restoring dignity to the poor through “generative” economic models. This modernist spectacle exposes the conciliar sect’s abandonment of Christus Rex in favor of naturalistic humanism.
