Love as Revolution: Leo XIV’s Madrid Spectacle Exposes the Conciliar Substitution of Sanctification for Sentimentality
EWTN News reports that on June 6, 2026, the antipope Leo XIV addressed over 600,000 young people gathered at Madrid’s Plaza de Lima during his six-day apostolic visit to Spain. Speaking in fluent Spanish, he told the crowd: “You can change history, do it with love.” He encouraged vocational commitment to priesthood and marriage, declared that “the disciples of Jesus are always contemporaries, but never prisoners of the passing time,” and stated that Christ frees “with his love.” He also heard testimonies from a Cuban lawyer and a Senegalese migrant who gave him a residence card, warning against “worldly ideologies” and affirming that charity is the “incandescent core of the ecclesial mission.” This spectacle in Madrid is not a call to holiness but a masterclass in the conciliar religion’s replacement of the supernatural life of grace with a naturalistic, sentimental humanism that leaves souls unprepared for eternity.
