Antipope Leo XIV Hosts Pagan Priestess Patti Smith in Vatican: Cult of Man Replaces Christ the King
Vatican News portal reports that the usurper Robert Prevost, styling himself “Pope Leo XIV,” granted a private audience to the American singer-songwriter and poet Patti Smith at the Apostolic Palace on July 31, 2026. The article highlights their shared Chicago origins and notes Smith’s inauguration of the Holy See’s Pavilion at the Venice Biennale on May 8, the first anniversary of Prevost’s election, where she performed a “sound prayer” with the Soundwalk Collective. The piece cites Smith’s previous adulation of the antipope Francis (Jorge Mario Bergoglio), quoting her declaration that “to imitate Francis is to be that much closer to God.” This sordid spectacle of the counterfeit hierarchy courting a secular artist epitomizes the total substitution of the Kingship of Christ with the religion of man.
