The Usurper’s Pilgrimage: Leo XIV’s Pompei-Naples Spectacle Exposes the Neo-Church’s Substitution of Piety for Propaganda
EWTN News Staff reports that on May 8, 2026, the first anniversary of his election to the usurped papal throne, Robert Prevost — styling himself “Pope Leo XIV” — visited the Italian cities of Pompei and Naples, meeting with local citizens and clergy and concelebrating what the conciliar sect calls “the Eucharist” in Piazza Bartolo Longo before proceeding to the Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary in Naples. The event was accompanied by the usual choreographed spectacle: crowds waving, a personalized pizza presented by celebrity pizzaiolo Gino Sorbillo, and the omnipresent Vatican Media apparatus ensuring that every smile and wave was captured and broadcast. What the article presents as a pastoral visit is, upon even cursory examination from the standpoint of integral Catholic faith, a carefully orchestrated act of legitimation for an occupant of the Apostolic See who lacks any canonical authority, performed at a Marian shrine whose message has been systematically falsified by the very structures now controlling it.
