Antipope Leo XIV’s Empty Appeals Mask Apostate Structures’ Complicity in Global Conflicts
VaticanNews portal (January 11, 2026) reports antipope Leo XIV condemning violence in Iran, Syria, and Ukraine while baptizing infants in the Sistine Chapel. The article describes his appeals for “dialogue and peace” in Middle Eastern conflicts and renewed calls to end hostilities in Ukraine. He extended blessings to baptized children worldwide and offered prayers for those born in “difficult circumstances,” claiming baptism unites them to Christ’s Paschal Mystery. This performance of religious gestures by the conciliar sect’s leader constitutes a grotesque parody of authentic papal authority while obscuring the apostate structures’ direct responsibility for global chaos.
