Antipope Leo XIV Baptizes American Liberalism as Catholic Duty in Semiquincentennial Letter
The National Catholic Register portal reports that its commentator Daniel Gallagher, a former functionary of the Vatican Secretariat of State under the usurpers Benedict XVI and Francis, hails the latest epistle of the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) to “all Americans” on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence as a “finest synthesis of Catholic social teaching on religious liberty, human dignity and democratic self-government.” Gallagher argues that the antipope rightly reasserts “freedom” as a divinely bestowed principle ordered toward service, claiming the American Founders held a “dogmatic” belief in liberty derived from the Bible, and that religious liberty protects the dignity exercised through free will in accord with truth. The article concludes that Catholics must employ this constitutionally protected freedom to serve God and country, equating the “Ite, Missa est” with a mandate for democratic citizenship. This panegyric to Americanism constitutes a formal adhesion to the condemned heresy of religious liberty and a blasphemous subordination of the Kingship of Christ to the Masonic novus ordo seclorum.
