Vatican News portal reports that on May 30, 2026, the usurper Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) received representatives of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal and its international body, CHARIS, at the Vatican. Praising the movement as a “gift” to the Church, he encouraged its members to embrace five pillars: “baptism in the Spirit,” prayer of praise, the Word of God, communion, and charity. He lauded the movement’s development since the late 1960s, noting its appreciation by his predecessors Paul VI, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis, whom he quoted describing the Renewal as a “flood of grace.” Leo XIV urged members to serve dioceses and parishes while avoiding “self-promotion” and “the pursuit of power.” This address represents yet another endorsement of a movement that stands in direct opposition to authentic Catholic theology, liturgy, and ecclesiology, further entrenching the conciliar sect’s descent into religious subjectivism and Protestant sentimentalism.
