Vatican Apparatus Exploits Persecution Narrative to Promote Syncretism
The VaticanNews portal (November 16, 2025) reports on an Angelus address by antipope Leo XIV (Prevost) during the “Jubilee of the Poor,” wherein he describes persecuted “Christians” as “witnesses of truth, justice, hope.” The antipope claims Christ’s words in Luke 21 provide comfort amid global conflicts and that persecution manifests through both “weapons and death” and “ideological manipulation.” He asserts martyrs demonstrate “God’s grace is capable of transforming even violence into a sign of redemption,” concluding with an invocation to Mary as “Help of Christians.” This performance epitomizes the conciliar sect’s substitution of supernatural faith with anthropocentric sentimentality.
