Leo XIV’s Lebanon Address: Naturalism Masquerading as Hope
Vatican News portal (December 1, 2025) reports on an encounter between antipope Leo XIV and youth in Bkerké, Lebanon. The event featured testimonies from volunteers and a speech where the usurper of Peter’s throne urged attendees to “plan, dream, and do good” despite societal crises. The address invoked secularized concepts of peace, friendship, and “charity as a universal language,” while referencing post-conciliar figures like Carlo Acutis and avoiding any mention of repentance, sacraments, or the Social Kingship of Christ.
