Antipope Leo XIV Consolidates Usurped Power with Novel Appointments and Female Prefects
The EWTN News portal (June 30, 2026) reports on the latest administrative maneuvering of the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), who continues to populate the offices of the Roman Curia—rebranded as “dicasteries” by the conciliar revolution—with functionaries loyal to the neo-modernist agenda. The appointments include Bishop Marco Mellino as secretary of the Dicastery for Legislative Texts, Father Lucio Adrián Ruiz as secretary of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity, and the layman Massimo Ralli as undersecretary of the same. Most scandalously, the usurper confirms the nomination of two women—María Montserrat Alvarado (EWTN executive) and Salesian Sister Alessandra Smerilli—as “prefects” of the Dicasteries for Communication and for Promoting Integral Human Development respectively, alongside a raft of new members and consultors for the Dicastery for Evangelization. This bureaucratic shuffle is not a “strengthening” of the Church’s governance but the consolidation of a paramasonic occupation structure devoid of any canonical legitimacy or supernatural mission.
