The Usurper’s Bridge-Building: Apostasy Disguised as Diplomacy
National Catholic Register/ACI Stampa reports (April 15, 2026) that the usurper Robert Prevost, styling himself “Pope Leo XIV,” arrived in Yaoundé, Cameroon, continuing his apostolic voyage after a stop in Algeria. Addressing journalists aboard the papal plane, he thanked Algerian authorities for their “goodness, generosity, and respect,” praised the “very small but very significant presence of the Catholic Church in Algeria,” and reflected on his visit to the Basilica of St. Augustine in Annaba. He described St. Augustine as a figure who “speaks to us of tradition” and whose “search for God and truth is very much needed today.” He declared the visit “a wonderful opportunity to continue building bridges and promoting dialogue,” noting that the mosque visit “showed that although we have different beliefs, we have different ways of worshipping, we have different ways of living, we can live together in peace.” He further stated that “together we can continue to offer in our witness through as we continue on this apostolic voyage.”
