Bergoglian ‘Logic of Littleness’ Undermines Catholic Mission in Turkey
Catholic News Agency portal reports (November 28, 2025) that antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), during his visit to Istanbul, urged Turkey’s minuscule Catholic community to embrace a “logic of littleness”. The address at the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit promoted ecumenism with the Orthodox Patriarchate of Constantinople, interreligious dialogue with Muslims, and inculturation efforts. The antipope framed the Church’s absence of influence as a virtue, citing Christ’s “little flock” (Luke 12:32) while omitting the duty to proclaim the Social Kingship of Christ (Regnum Christi) over all nations. He further invoked the heresiarch Angelo Roncalli (“John XXIII”), praised as a model for “laboring joyfully” amid interfaith coexistence.
