Neo-Church Idolatry: Mosaic of Usurper “Leo XIV” Desecrates Roman Basilica
The EWTN News portal (January 15, 2026) reports on the installation of a mosaic honoring Robert Prevost (“Leo XIV”) in St. Paul Outside the Walls Basilica. The artwork, produced by the Vatican Mosaic Studio using 19th-century materials, will be placed beside that of Bergoglio (“Francis”) at considerable height in the nave. Cardinals James Michael Harvey and Mauro Gambetti, along with Abbot Donato Ogliari, participated in the presentation ceremony concluded with collective prayer led by the antipope. This spectacle exemplifies the neo-church’s systematic replacement of Christocentric worship with personality cults rooted in apostasy.
