The VaticanNews portal (January 18, 2026) reports that antipope Leo XIV prayed for “dialogue” in the Democratic Republic of Congo and expressed “solidarity” with flood victims in southern Africa. The article describes “grave humanitarian crises” while omitting any reference to the necessity of conversion, the Social Reign of Christ the King, or the supernatural causes of societal collapse.
VaticanNews portal reports on January 18, 2026 that antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) delivered an Angelus address emphasizing humanity’s “preciousness in God’s eyes” while reducing St. John the Baptist’s witness to a psychological exercise in humility. The article quotes the usurper’s call to “make time each day” for prayer and reflection to “encounter the Lord Who loves us,” conspicuously avoiding any reference to repentance, grace, or sacramental life.
Vatican News portal reports statements from “Cardinal” Pietro Parolin concerning Iran, Venezuela, and Greenland (January 17, 2026). The conciliar diplomat laments the “endless tragedy” of Iranian regime violence against protesters, advocates for “democratization” in Venezuela, and promotes multilateralism for Greenland disputes. He concludes with naturalistic calls for education to combat youth violence.
Vatican News portal (January 17, 2026) reports on funeral rites for Angelo Gugel, described as having served three usurpers of the Apostolic See (John Paul I, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI). The ceremony featured Cardinal Pietro Parolin celebrating a pseudo-liturgical service, with Bergoglio’s telegram praising Gugel’s “exemplary Christian witness” despite his decades of service to conciliar revolutionaries. The event exemplifies the neo-church’s complete rupture with Catholic eschatology and ecclesiology.
Catholic News Agency (Jan. 17, 2026) reports the ordination of Travis Moger, a former Baptist pastor, as a “priest” in the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston. The article celebrates his “unique journey” involving a papal dispensation from celibacy granted by Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”), despite Moger being married with children. The narrative frames this as a “movement of the Spirit,” quoting “Fr.” Thomas Falkenthal and “bishop” Mark Brennan praising Moger’s “spiritual fatherhood” supposedly enriched by his biological parenthood.
The Catholic News Agency portal (January 17, 2026) reports on former U.S. ambassador Francis Rooney’s analysis of the Vatican’s diplomatic engagement with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado under antipope Leo XIV. The article frames this interaction as strengthening Machado’s international standing ahead of a meeting with U.S. President Trump, while praising the antipope’s “calm, deliberate” approach compared to his predecessor. Rooney claims the conciliar sect has a “long tradition of intervening in hostage situations” and speculates about discussions between President Trump and “Archbishop” Paul Coakley regarding U.S. immigration policy. This report exemplifies the neo-church’s complete subordination of supernatural mission to geopolitical power-brokering.
The Catholic News Agency portal (January 17, 2026) reports on a self-congratulatory study commissioned by the United States Conference of “Catholic Bishops” (USCCB) regarding their $10 million “National Eucharistic Revival.” According to the article, 83% of lay participants claim stronger faith after attending events like the 2024 National Eucharistic Congress, while 49% of “clergy” report feeling “more encouraged.” Bishop Andrew Cozzens boasts that this initiative accomplished its goal of “missionary conversion,” with plans already underway for another congress in 2029. This carnival of apostasy reveals the terminal spiritual bankruptcy of the conciliar sect’s naturalistic sacramental theater.
Catholic News Agency reports England and Wales have reached an unprecedented 270,000 annual abortions – an 11% increase from 2022 – with chemical abortions constituting nearly 90% of these murders. The report simultaneously notes Heartbeat International’s pregnancy helpline received 1.3 million calls in 2025, while South Carolina legislators proposed new pro-life measures and California Governor Gavin Newsom refused to extradite an abortionist to Louisiana. This juxtaposition of statistical horror and naturalistic “solutions” reveals the utter bankruptcy of post-conciliar approaches to societal decay.
The Catholic News Agency article via EWTN News reports on Bangladeshi Catholics struggling to obtain Indian medical visas amid political tensions between Bangladesh and India. It details how visa restrictions since August 2024 have doubled treatment costs for conditions like heart disease and cancer, with anonymous testimonies from patients like Mita Corraya and Rina Gomes. The piece frames this as a bilateral political issue, quoting Dr. Edward Pallab Rozario on approval rates and economists like Khandaker Golam Moazzem urging separation of economics from politics. Notably absent is any reference to God’s providence, the supernatural purpose of suffering, or the duty of nations to recognize Christ’s social reign.
The Catholic News Agency (January 17, 2026) reports that Archbishop Gintaras Grušas of Vilnius, president of the Council of European Bishops’ Conferences (CCEE), has issued an appeal for prayer during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (January 18-25). The Lithuanian prelate links this initiative to the revised Charta Oecumenica signed in Rome on November 5, 2025 – a document jointly prepared by the CCEE and the Conference of European Churches (CEC), which includes Orthodox, Protestant, and Anglican communities. The article quotes Grušas claiming that “unity among the baptized in Christ is a powerful instrument of peace,” while referencing antipope Leo XIV’s call for greater fraternity amid Europe’s “clamor of violence and war.”
