EWTN News Staff, reporting for the National Catholic Register, documented the visit of the usurper Robert Prevost—who styles himself “Pope Leo XIV”—to Algeria on April 13–14, 2026, as part of his first apostolic journey to Africa. The article presents photographs and descriptions of his meetings with Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, Islamic dignitaries at the Great Mosque of Algiers, and the local Catholic remnant, including visits to the Basilica of Our Lady of Africa and the Basilica of St. Augustine in Annaba. The tone is reverential, treating the occupant of the Vatican as the legitimate Vicar of Christ and framing these gestures of interreligious diplomacy as pastoral care. This entire spectacle, however, is nothing but the continuation of the post-conciliar apostasy that has transformed the Chair of Peter into a podium for religious indifferentism, the very error condemned in the strongest terms by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors (1864), where he proclaimed: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization”—a proposition placed at the very end of the catalog of condemned errors as the capstone of all modernist deviations. What follows is the unmasking of this pilgrimage in light of the perennial Magisterium.
