The Usurper’s Diplomacy: Naturalistic Morality Without Christ the King
EWTN News reports that on May 21, 2026, the usurper Leo XIV addressed newly accredited ambassadors to the so-called “Holy See,” urging nations to prioritize the “common good” over particular interests and to measure success by how they treat “those on the margins.” He called for “a deeper conversion of heart,” diplomacy animated by “self-giving solidarity,” and international order oriented toward “the unity of the human family.” The statement is a masterclass in naturalistic humanitarianism stripped of all supernatural content — a perfect distillation of the conciliar revolution’s reduction of the Faith to secular ethics, omitting entirely the Kingship of Christ, the necessity of the true Church for salvation, and the primacy of eternal beatitude over temporal welfare.
