The Usurper’s Peace: A Modernist Manifesto Against the Kingship of Christ
VaticanNews portal (April 15, 2026) publishes an editorial by Andrea Tornielli that presents the teaching of the line of usurpers on peace and war, from Benedict XV to Leo XIV, arguing that the concept of “just war” has become practically untenable in the modern era due to the destructive power of contemporary weapons. The article traces a supposed “development” of doctrine through the magisterium of John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul II, Francis, and Leo XIV, culminating in the latter’s call to “put the sword back into its sheath” and reject the “idolatry of power.” This editorial is nothing but a thinly veiled modernist manifesto that systematically dismantles the Church’s immutable teaching on the moral legitimacy of defensive war, replaces the supernatural mission of the Church with naturalistic pacifism, and reveals the conciliar sect’s fundamental apostasy from the Social Kingship of Christ.
