EWTN News reports that on April 16, 2026, the Vatican released a message from the current usurper of Peter’s throne, Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), addressed to Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference, on the occasion of the Second National Meeting of Local Representatives for the Protection of Minors and Vulnerable Adults, held in Rome under the theme “Forming Authentic Relationships.” Leo XIV stated that the protection of the vulnerable “challenges the conscience of the Church and measures its ability to express authentic care,” and that respect is “a demanding form of charity, expressed in safeguarding others without possessing them, accompanying them without dominating them, and serving them without humiliating them.” He further claimed that protection “cannot be understood merely as a set of rules to apply or procedures to follow” but requires a wisdom “that shapes the style of communities, the exercise of authority, the formation of educators, vigilance over contexts, and transparency of behavior.” The message encourages growth in “a culture of prevention that is, above all, a culture of evangelical care,” so that “communities may grow in which the most fragile are welcomed, protected, and love.” This message, while superficially unobjectionable in its naturalistic language, is a textbook example of the conciliar sect’s systematic substitution of bureaucratic proceduralism and naturalistic humanism for the supernatural life of grace, the sacramental system, and the immutable moral doctrine of the Catholic Church — all while the very structures that produced and enabled the abuse crisis remain entirely unaddressed and unreformed.
