Antichurch Invokes Saint for Usurper’s Lungs While Ignoring Soul’s Peril
The National Catholic Register portal reports that as the usurper “Pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) undergoes lung surgery at the Gemelli Hospital, the faithful are directed to invoke St. Bernardine of Siena, the 15th-century Franciscan known as the “Apostle of Italy” and patron of respiratory ailments. The article recounts the saint’s life: his care for plague victims, his overcoming of a weak voice, his missionary preaching, his devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus, and his refusal of episcopal dignities. It notes his canonization by Pope Nicholas V in 1450. The piece frames the medical crisis of the antipope as an occasion for spiritual solidarity, presenting the saint’s intercession as a remedy for bodily infirmity. This spectacle exposes the conciliar sect’s reduction of the Church’s mission to a naturalistic mutual-aid society, praying for the temporal health of a manifest heretic who occupies the Chair of Peter illegitimately, while remaining silent on his soul’s eternal damnation.
