Leo XIV’s Media Heresy: Naturalism Over Christ’s Reign

[Vatican News] reports that antipope Leo XIV, in a meeting with Italian journalists from the state-run TG2 news program, warned against media becoming propaganda in times of war, emphasized showing human suffering, and praised secularism and pluralism. He reflected on technological innovation, stating that no technology can replace critical discernment and that communication must be regulated according to a “human paradigm.” This address completely omits the Catholic doctrine of Christ’s social kingship and the Church’s mandate to guide all human institutions, replacing it with a naturalistic, modernist framework condemned by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors and Pope Pius X in Lamentabili sane exitu. Thus, Leo XIV’s discourse represents a fundamental rejection of integral Catholic faith in favor of the secular humanism of the conciliar apostasy.
