The Simoni Spectacle: A “Living Martyr” in Service to the Conciliar Abomination
The National Catholic Register (via CNA/EWTN) reports on the April 26, 2026 private audience between 97-year-old Cardinal Ernest Simoni and the usurper Leo XIV (Robert Prevost). The article recounts Simoni’s imprisonment and forced labor under Albania’s communist regime, his clandestine celebration of the Latin Mass, and his presentation of a relic of Albanian martyrs to the antipope. The piece is saturated with conciliar vocabulary — “fraternity,” “peace,” “joy of the Resurrection” — and presents Simoni’s suffering as legitimizing the post-conciliar apparatus rather than exposing its apostasy.
