Vatican’s Idolatrous Mosaic Honors Antipope in Desecrated Basilica

Catholic News Agency (January 15, 2026) reports the installation of a mosaic portrait of antipope Leo XIV in the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, commissioned by modernist “cardinal” James Michael Harvey and executed by the Vatican Mosaic Studio. The 54-inch circular artwork contains over 15,000 tesserae, including 19th-century fragments, based on a painting by Rodolfo Papa. It will occupy space near the image of apostate “pope” Bergoglio at 43 feet elevation, following a presentation attended by “cardinal” Mauro Gambetti and apostate Benedictine abbot Donato Ogliari. The article omits the sacrilegious nature of placing antipapal images in consecrated spaces, instead glorifying technical execution while ignoring doctrinal bankruptcy.
