The Usurper’s Gospel of Power Without the Kingship of Christ
EWTN News Vatican Bureau reports that the usurper Robert Prevost, styling himself “Pope Leo XIV,” delivered a message to the plenary assembly of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences in which he declared that “true power comes from virtue, not strength,” and that “the legitimacy of authority depends not on the accumulation of economic or technological strength but on the wisdom and virtue with which it is exercised.” The article, dated April 14, 2026, further notes that this message followed remarks at a “prayer vigil for peace” where the same individual denounced the “delusion of omnipotence” among global leaders, and that he invoked Centesimus Annus — the encyclical of the heretic and false pope John Paul II — to affirm that legitimate power “finds one of its highest expressions in authentic democracy.” The entire discourse is a masterwork of naturalistic humanism stripped of every supernatural reference, a sermon on earthly governance that omits the single most important truth: that all legitimate authority flows from Jesus Christ the King, and that no power on earth — democratic, technological, or otherwise — possesses any legitimacy whatsoever apart from submission to His divine and social Kingship.
