Digital Spectacle Masks Apostasy: “Pope” Leo’s Youth Dialogue Exposes Modernist Agenda
The National Catholic Register portal reports on a Nov. 21, 2025 digital encounter between “Pope” Leo XIV and 16,000 youth at the National Catholic Youth Conference in Indianapolis. The event featured five teenagers questioning the antipope about mental health, artificial intelligence, and Church future. Participants praised his “authenticity,” “humility,” and emphasis on “personal relationship with Jesus,” with one teen declaring it felt like “history.” EWTN facilitated the global broadcast, which secular media picked up. Cardinal Christophe Pierre called it a “Church event,” while organizers gushed about the antipope’s “fluency with tech culture.” The article frames this as a triumphant engagement with modernity.
