Leo XIV’s Poverty Message: A Gospel Stripped of Grace and Reduced to Mere Social Work
Vatican News portal reports that on June 13, 2026, the feast of St. Anthony of Padua, the usurper Robert Prevost — who styles himself “Pope Leo XIV” — released a message for the 10th World Day of the Poor, to be observed on November 15, 2026. The message, reflecting on Psalm 14, “The Lord is the refuge of the poor,” laments social injustice, corruption, and the marginalization of the poor, urging Christians to “rediscover the central place of the poor” and to practice “justice, solidarity, and human dignity.” The message cites the antipope’s own Apostolic Exhortation *Dilexi te*, reaffirming that “God shows a preference for the poor” and that the Church “must be a Church of the Beatitudes.” Yet beneath the veneer of piety lies a document that is thoroughly modernist, naturalistic, and devoid of the supernatural substance of authentic Catholic teaching on poverty, charity, and the Church’s mission.
