Ford CEO Gifts Antipope Leo XIV Custom Chicago-Inspired Car
The cited article from the EWTN News Vatican service, dated March 9, 2026, reports that Jim Farley, CEO of Ford Motor Co., gifted a custom-made 2026 Ford Explorer Platinum hybrid to “Pope Leo XIV” (Robert Prevost). The vehicle, built at Ford’s Chicago Assembly Plant, features engravings of the Chicago skyline and St. Peter’s Basilica, seat tags designed as Chicago flags, and license plates reading “DA POPE” and “LEO XIV.” Farley stated that “Pope Leo XIV has deep roots on Chicago’s South Side,” and that the gift was a “small gesture” of gratitude for a private audience. Employees involved expressed pride and personal connection, with one noting the pope “enjoys driving a sporty ride.” The article treats the event as a positive, human-interest story within the framework of the post-conciliar “church.”
This report epitomizes the neo-church’s radical substitution of temporal honors and secular humanism for the exclusive reign of Christ the King, revealing a complete abandonment of Catholic dogma and the supernatural end of society.
