VaticanNews portal reports that on May 2, 2026, the usurper Robert Prevost, styling himself “Pope Leo XIV,” ordained four priests as “auxiliary bishops” for the Diocese of Rome at the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran. The event, presented as a celebration of the people, featured homiletic exhortations centered on “peace,” “unity,” “hope,” and “God’s closeness,” with explicit references to the legacy of his predecessor, the apostate Jorge Mario Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”). Prevost urged the new “bishops” to be “men of peace and unity,” to “weave together with threads of grace and mercy,” to “welcome, listen, forgive,” and to ensure that “no one is excluded from becoming an active part of the sacred building that is the Church.” He further emphasized availability to all—lay faithful, religious, and clergy—and the need to “rekindle hope” and make everyone feel part of “one and the same mission.” The entire discourse, saturated with naturalistic humanism and devoid of any mention of supernatural faith, the sacraments’ true purpose, the necessity of conversion, or the Kingship of Christ, is a textbook manifestation of the conciliar apostasy, reducing the Church’s mission to a horizontal, humanitarian project indistinguishable from secular NGOs.
