Conciliar Sect’s Ecumenism Undermines Catholic Identity and Christ’s Kingship
The EWTN News portal (January 23, 2026) reports on comments by Mr. Philip Goyret, professor at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, who asserts that “Christian identity” is vital to counter secularization and advance ecumenical unity under antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost). Goyret claims ecumenism strengthens Christian witness amid declining faith, praising Leo XIV’s motto *”In Illo uno unum”* (“In the one Christ we are one”) as a policy of unity. The article references Leo XIV’s May 2025 loggia address urging a “united Church” and July 2025 interview where he prioritized “help[ing] people understand… who we are.” Goyret compares this approach favorably with antipopes Bergoglio (“Francis”) and Ratzinger (“Benedict XVI”), citing the latter’s *Anglicanorum Coetibus* and the former’s emphasis on the title “bishop of Rome” to appease Eastern schismatics. The 2026 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, themed “One Body, One Spirit,” is framed as necessitating prayer rather than “negotiation” to achieve unity.
