Naturalistic Peace and Apostate Ecumenism: Leo XIV’s Anathema Journeys
Catholic News Agency reports (December 7, 2025) that the antipope Leo XIV declared “peace is possible” following his visits to Turkey and Lebanon. The article describes joint prayers with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew in İznik (ancient Nicaea) commemorating the 1700th anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea and the 60th anniversary of the Paul VI-Athenagoras declaration. In Lebanon, the antipope praised the “mosaic of coexistence” and met victims of the 2020 Beirut port explosion. His Angelus address linked Advent spirituality to the “spirit of the Second Vatican Council,” claiming it guides the “Church” toward “unity and renewal.” This modernist performance substitutes Catholic eschatology with anthropocentric utopianism.
