Thanksgiving Pies and Baseball Bats: The Profane Theater of Vatican’s Anti-Pope
The VaticanNews portal (27 November 2025) reports on the first international trip of “Pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) to Turkey, emphasizing the “distinctly American gifts” he received aboard the papal flight: pumpkin pies, a baseball bat, and a syncretic Marian icon. The article describes the antipope’s jovial interactions with journalists, including jokes about security checks and discussions of the Wordle game, while omitting any reference to the spiritual purpose of an apostolic journey. This carnivalesque spectacle reveals the conciliar sect’s total surrender to worldly triviality and its rupture with the immutable Catholic tradition.
