Personal Secretary Praises Antipope’s Unchanged Apostasy

Summary: The EWTN News article of April 1, 2026, features an interview with Father Edgard Iván Rimaycuna, personal secretary to the current occupier of the Vatican, “Pope Leo XIV.” Rimaycuna praises his superior’s unchanged personality—approachability, serenity, listening skills—and his Latin American warmth, framing his pontificate as a continuation of his Peruvian episcopate. The article presents this as a positive, focusing on human qualities and pastoral style while omitting any reference to doctrine, the supernatural, or the catastrophic state of the “Church” under his leadership. The thesis is clear: this piece glorifies the very apostasy that defines the post-conciliar sect, celebrating a man who, by manifest heresy, cannot hold the papacy and whose “service” advances the revolution against the Kingship of Christ.
