Vatican’s “Pray with Pope” Initiative Masks Doctrinal Apostasy
The VaticanNews portal (7 January 2026) reports on the “Pray with the Pope” initiative, a collaboration between the Dicastery for Communication and the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network. Antipope Leo XIV inaugurates this project with a January 2026 video message urging “prayer with the Word of God” as a “source of hope.” The initiative claims to foster “communion” through monthly prayer intentions addressing global issues like “peace and disarmament.” Paolo Ruffini, Prefect of the Dicastery, describes it as a “protected space” challenging modernity’s pace, while Fr. Cristóbal Fones frames it as an “open invitation” from a “synodal perspective.”
