Apostolic Gestures Mask Ecumenical Apostasy in Lebanon
The Catholic News Agency portal reports on the December 1, 2025, activities of antipope Leo XIV during his visit to Lebanon. At the Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon in Harissa, he addressed bishops, clergy, and pastoral workers, urging them to nurture hope “even when surrounded by the sound of weapons” by imitating Mary’s faith. The event included ecumenical prayers, testimonies from interfaith leaders, and the presentation of a Golden Rose to the shrine. Later, Leo XIV met with Eastern Catholic patriarchs and Orthodox leaders at the apostolic nunciature, emphasizing “shared love” and interreligious dialogue. The article frames these actions as efforts to promote resilience and unity in a nation scarred by conflict.
