Leo XIV in Algiers: A Missionary of Apostasy, Not of Peace
VaticanNews portal reports on the first day of the apostolic journey of the antipope Leo XIV to Algeria, where he visited the Martyrs’ Monument, met with state authorities, visited the Great Mosque of Algiers, met with Augustinian missionary sisters, and prayed with the Algerian community at the Basilica of Our Lady of Africa. The event, dated April 13, 2026, presents the usurper of Peter’s throne as a “missionary of peace” engaged in interreligious dialogue with Islam and commemorating those who died in the Algerian War for Independence. This journey is not a mission of Catholic evangelization but a theatrical performance of the very apostasy condemned by every legitimate pontiff from Pius IX to Pius XII — a public, ceremonial repudiation of Our Lord Jesus Christ’s exclusive claim to be “the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (John 14:6).
