Antichurch

reports that antipope Leo XIV, presiding over the Easter Sunday Mass in Saint Peter’s Square before over fifty thousand people, delivered a homily centered on a “hope that never fails” and a “light that never fades.” He stated that the Easter proclamation “opens us up to a hope that never fails, to a light that never fades, to a fullness of joy that nothing can take away: death has been conquered forever; death no longer has power over us!” The celebration featured a floral gift from the Netherlands—over 65,000 tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths—marking the 40th year of this tradition, promoted by Dutch florists, volunteers, and the Dutch Bishops’ Conference. In his address, Leo XIV acknowledged the “power of death” in “injustices, partisan selfishness, the oppression of the poor,” and quoted from “Pope Francis'” apostolic exhortation *Evangelii Gaudium* (n. 276) about the resurrection’s “vital power” permeating the world. The homily concluded with an exhortation to “run like Mary Magdalene, announcing him to everyone,” bringing “the light of life” into streets where “the specter of death still lingers.” This presentation, devoid of supernatural dogma and sacramental theology, represents a complete capitulation to naturalistic humanism and a stark repudiation of the integral Catholic faith.
