An antipope gives an interview

The proclaimed leader of the Catholic Church and Defender of the Faith, Leo XIV, has submitted to Allah. He condemns the heresy of Arianism which denies Christ is God, then he visits a mosque, takes off his papal shoes and proclaims his "deep respect for the place and the faith" of Muslims, who deny that Christ is God.

We saw this coming, didn't we? When John Paul II kissed the Q'ran. Before that. When Vatican II produced Gaudium et Spes which preferred “an inward sense of justice and kindliness” to the Social Reign of Christ the King and replaced the virtue of obedience to the Magisterium with the vice of effeminism, now endemic in Leo's conciliar cult.

Leo's cult is no longer the Church Militant which fought Islam for 1400 years. Leo's cult is the Church of Nice which rolls over at the new Muslim invasion of Europe. At teenagers raped by Muslims in fast-food bathrooms. At the likelihood of civil war and the inevitable persecution and murder of Christians in any Muslim-majority country.

Rome has no prerogative except for the Vicar of Christ, a title rejected by the apostate Francis, to whom his successor Leo has pledged his loyalty. The same condemnation which fell on Jerusalem for crucifying Christ will likely fall on the eternal city, where He is now crucified once again by the conciliar cult, the cowardice and the Kumbaya Catholicism of Leo XIV.

Pundits say Leo may be suffering - like Sweden - from Stage 5 Suicidal Empathy

 

Pope Leo XIV has spoken warmly about the relationship between Muslims and Christians and downplaying fears of Islamization.

 

During his recent international trip to Turkey and Lebanon, the Pope gave a speech at an interfaith meeting held at Martyrs’ Square in Beirut.

 

“Dear friends, your presence here today, in this extraordinary place where minarets and bell towers stand side by side, yet both soar toward the heavens, testifies to the enduring faith of this land and the persistent dedication of its people to the one God,” Leo said.

 

“Here in this beloved land,” the Pope continued, “may every bell toll, every adhān [Islamic call to prayer], every call to prayer blend into a single, soaring hymn – not only to glorify the merciful Creator of heaven and earth, but also to lift a heartfelt prayer for the divine gift of peace.”

 

On the flight back to Rome, the Roman Pontiff gave a press conference, in which a reporter asked him about the perceived threat of Islam to the Christian identity of the West.

 

“All of the conversations that I had during my time, both in Türkiye and Lebanon, including with many Muslims, was precisely concentrated on the topic of peace and respect for people of different religions,” Leo stated.

 

“I know that, as a matter of fact, that has not always been the case,” he said, likely referring to past Islamic invasions of Christian Europe.

 

“I know that in Europe there are many times fears that are present but oftentimes generated by people who are against immigration and trying to keep out people who may be from another country, another religion, another race,” the Pope continued.

 

“And in that sense, I would say that we all need to work together. One of the values of this trip is precisely to raise the world’s attention to the possibility that dialogue and friendship between Muslims and Christians is possible.”

 

“I think one of the great lessons that Lebanon can teach to the world is precisely showing a land where Islam and Christianity are both present and are respected and that there is a possibility to live together to be friends,” he stated.

 

 

“I think those are lessons that would be important also to be heard in Europe or North America. We should perhaps be a little less fearful and look for ways of promoting authentic dialogue and respect,” he concluded.

 

Bishop Marian Eleganti, speaking exclusively at the Rome Life Forum on December 4, criticized the Pope for his “naïve” remarks.

 

The Swiss bishop stressed that Muslims do not worship the same God as Christians, but instead, quoting Psalm 95, he said that all the pagan gods are demons.

 

“Muslims teach that God has no son. Where is the same God? It is impossible – it is such a contradiction,” he stated, adding that the Pope portrayed “a naïve relationship with Islam.”

 

According to OpenDoors’ World Watch List of Christian persecution, the most common reason for Christian persecution is “Islamic oppression.” In 31 of the 50 countries where Christians face the most persecution, Islam is the main reason. Christians face varying levels of oppression and persecution in almost every Muslim-majority country in the world. 

President Donald Trump announced that he is preparing the U.S. military to potentially “wipe out” Islamic terrorists who are killing and kidnapping thousands of Christians each year.

 

“If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities,” Trump wrote Saturday on Truth Social.

“I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!”

 

Asked Sunday whether he might use military force in the country, the most populous in Africa, Trump affirmed he was not ruling out the possibility.

 

Trump raised the alarm on Friday about the “mass slaughter” of Christians in Nigeria, declaring it a “country of particular concern,” a designation reserved for governments who perpetrate or tolerate “particularly severe violations of religious freedom,” such as that of China, Pakistan, and North Korea.

 

“The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, and numerous other Countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian population around the World!

 

Best-selling rapper Nicki Minaj praised the message from Trump on Saturday, decrying religious persecution.

 

“Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude,” Minaj posted to X. “We live in a country where we can freely worship God. No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion.”

 

“Numerous countries all around the world are being affected by this horror & it’s dangerous to pretend we don’t notice,” she continued. “Thank you to The President & his team for taking this seriously,” the rapper added. “God bless every persecuted Christian. Let’s remember to lift them up in prayer.”

 

 U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz thanked Minaj, who has a massive following, for speaking out in support of persecuted Christians and invited her to the U.S. Embassy in New York to discuss the matter, an invitation she said she would be “honored” to accept.

 

A 2025 Global Christian Relief (GCR) Red List report has found that Nigeria is the most dangerous place for Christians in the world. The report detailed how most of the killings in Nigeria occur in northern states governed by Islamic sharia law, where Christians “often live in remote villages in semi-arid landscapes, making them particularly vulnerable to attacks.” 

 

 

The ongoing violence against Christians in the country has been so frequent that it has been denounced by international observers as a “genocide,” including by secular liberal Bill Maher. 

 

“This is so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza. They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country,” he recently said while talking with GOP Congresswoman Nancy Mace. 

 

Violence against Christians in Nigeria intensified after 1999 when 12 northern states adopted Sharia law. The rise of the terrorist group Boko Haram in 2009 also intensified Christian persecution. The group famously kidnapped hundreds of schoolgirls in 2014; 87 of them are still listed as “missing.”

 

From 2009 to 2022, over 50,000 Christians had been killed in the country, an Open Doors report found, and the violence has since escalated. A 2024 report found that more than 8,000 Nigerian Christians were killed and thousands more were abducted in 2023, including dozens of priests, making it the bloodiest year on record for Islamic attacks against Christians in the country.

 

There were 3,100 Christians killed and 2,830 Christians kidnapped in Nigeria in 2024, far more than other countries in the same year, according to the latest Open Doors World Watch List. Attacks continue to spread southward from the Muslim-majority north, displacing families, destroying homes, and burning churches and schools.

 

Anja Hoffman, executive director of the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe, told LifeSiteNews contributor Jonathon Van Maren that the Nigerian government’s inaction enables the epidemic of violence.

 

A key factor in this ongoing crisis is impunity,” Hoffman told Van Maren. “Government and security services frequently fail to respond. Although President Bola Tinubu’s 2023 election raised hopes for stronger protection, meaningful change has not materialized. Security forces remain under-resourced, prosecutions are rare, and many local authorities deny a religious motive, making justice elusive.” 

 

Recent attacks in the country have seen the abduction and even murder of Catholic priests and seminarians. In a July press release, the Diocese of Auchi in Edo State reported that several gunmen attacked the Immaculate Conception Minor Seminary, killing one security guard and kidnapping three seminarians.

 

The incident marks the second time the seminary was attacked within a year. On October 27, 2024, assailants attacked the seminary and attempted to abduct two seminarians. In a courageous act, Father Thomas Oyode, the seminary’s rector, offered himself in their place. As a result, Oyode was held captive for a total of 11 days before being released.

LEO'S CULT PROMOTES LGBTQ, FORBIDS TLM

 To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address, FB Messeger or X.

Robert "FtR" Prevost - "FtR" for"F*** the Rules". That's how the trenchant (to put it mildly) American Catholic convert and commentator Ann Barnhardt refers to the man  known as Pope Leo XIV.  Leo earned himself the moniker by allowing a procession of sodomites, with rainbow flag and cross, into the very heart of the Mystical Body of Christ, St Peter's Basilica in the eternal city, Rome. 

A golden rule of Catholic doctrine is the intrinsically disordered and gravely sinful nature of homosexuality. Not same-sex attraction, but actual, vicious sodomy, the sin that cries to heaven for vengeance - and a rule of the Magisterium that Leo's conciliar cult wants broken. The LGBTQ flags in Vatican II's cupboard are hung out now for all to see.

Catholicism in Germany now ranks ninth overall in the "Rainbow Index" of Churches in Europe. In Berlin a railway station staircase is painted in appropriate hues at a cost of €44,000. Vat II's "Synodal Process" is driving the "queer inclusiveness" across Europe and the globe. That's what Leo's Synodal, globalist Church is all about, ultimately - and the fiendishly cunning instrument invented to kick-start it was the Novus Ordo Missae. 

"Go out from her, my people; that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues" (Rev 18,4). 

It's a spiritual work of mercy to correct those who are wrong but that mercy is rarely seen  in the Novus Ordo, where everyone is right and all are going to heaven. The true Church, the faith which abhors sin and preaches repentance, now resides in the Traditional Latin Mass movement. Which is precisely why Leo's lot wants to exterminate it.

 

LEO SANCTIONED LGBTQ JUBILEE PILGRIMAGE

Sodomy is what Leo's church is all about

The Rainbow Reich And Its Favorite Scapegoat

 

Edward Pentin’s piece on Germany begins the way these things always do.

 

The problem, we are told, is not the council, not the new theology, not the Vatican who spent a decade flattering the German Synodal Path and stuffing it full of Francis-approved talking points. No, the problem is that Rome did not “correct” the Germans quickly enough.

 

So we get a long lament about the latest “orientation aid” from the bishops’ conference telling Catholic schools to treat “diversity of sexual identities” as a fact, to present sexual morality as disputed, to let students decide for themselves whether the sixth commandment exists this week.

 

Everyone pretends to be shocked.

 

Gabriele Kuby gives a sincere and often accurate diagnosis of gender ideology. Children are being groomed and mutilated. Conversion therapy is banned. Priests are gagged. Parents are abandoned. All true.

 

Then comes the move.

 

The bishops, she says, “do not follow the pope.” Francis is painted as the strict father whose heartfelt letters to Germany were tragically ignored. Leo XIV is the new hope who will finally “take up the battle” against the very moral revolution his predecessor spent twelve years blessing, winking at, or ambiguously massaging into magisterial shape.

 

The same essay that rightly calls this a “great apostasy” ends by cheering that Leo will help us discern artificial intelligence with the help of Encounter Ministries and “charisms.” So the solution to the doctrinal meltdown caused by charismatics, synodality, and weaponized ambiguity is more charismatics, synodality, and ambiguity.

 

You almost have to admire the denial involved.

 

Germany is not rebelling against Rome. Germany is simply acting out, with Teutonic efficiency, everything Rome has been hinting at since the council.

 

The Rainbow Index: When Apostasy Gets A Scorecard

 

 

The Infovaticana report is even more revealing.

 

A professional LGBT activist theologian, deeply embedded in the Archdiocese of Munich, explains that the synodal process is the key engine driving “queer inclusiveness” across Europe. The Rainbow Index of Churches in Europe now hands out scores.

 

Germany’s Catholic Church earns thirty seven and a half out of forty seven points. Number one among Catholic countries. Ninth overall, rubbing shoulders with liberal Protestant sects nobody believed in even before they ran out of members.

 

Why the high score.

 

Because Germany has what Rome wants everywhere. Permanent LGBT pastoral structures. Bishops and auxiliary bishops dedicated to “queer ministry.” Lay councils that function like shadow synods. A thick bureaucracy where every doctrinal question is routed through committees committed to “inclusion” before the Gospel is even mentioned.

 

This is precisely what the universal synod is designed to reproduce.

 

Berlin authorities alone flushed €44,000 just to paint a railway station staircase in rainbow colors.

Pentin and Kuby wring their hands that this might spread to the rest of the world. Meanwhile the Rainbow Index calmly tells you it already has. Countries with more intense synodal activity show higher queer scores. Places where the process has been “cosmetic” fall behind.

 

In other words, if you take synodality seriously, you get rainbow Catholicism. If you treat it as a box-ticking exercise, you remain slightly less corrupt.

 

And every time the Vatican tells you synodality is simply “walking together” under the Spirit, remember that the activists have numbers, charts, and metrics showing you what actually happens when the walk begins.

 

New York: Confirming Sin, Confirming Collapse

 

 

Then there is Manhattan.

 

A prominent television anchor, publicly “married” to another man, is confirmed and receives Communion. His “husband” serves as sponsor and also receives the Eucharist. The parish is openly pro-LGBT. The order running it is dying, its priests more famous for rainbow ministry than preaching repentance.

 

Fr James Martin is in the sanctuary, naturally. He and the other priests are thanked publicly for teaching that “God’s loving mercy is unconditional” and that the convert has discovered the Ark of the Covenant not in the tabernacle but in his “heart,” where God allegedly stored it by creating him “exactly as I am.”

 

Cardinal Dolan has the canonical authority to discipline the priests involved. He has the responsibility to safeguard the sacraments. He has the example of even John Paul II rebuking a Sandinista priest on a runway.

 

Instead the cardinal is busy posting feel-good videos on social media about whatever committee meeting he just attended, sprinkling jokes over a collapsing archdiocese while the sacraments are turned into props for a lifestyle brand.

 

If you are openly living in grave sin but affirm the council, the new liturgy, and the latest papal talking points, you will be treated as a model of “accompaniment.”

 

If you are trying to live chastely, raise a large family, and drive several hours to attend the old Mass, you are the problem.

 

Which brings us to Tennessee.

 

Knoxville: Obedience For The Sheep, Options For The Wolves

 

The bishop of Knoxville has written a long, sorrowful letter to traditional Catholics in Johnson City. He assures them he has listened to their pain. He acknowledges the spiritual fruit of the 1962 Missal. He thanks them for their letters and their testimonies.   Then he tells them they may drive six hours round trip once a month if they want to assist at the Mass of their fathers.   The rest of the time they are expected to show up at the local parish and absorb whatever liturgical experimentation and catechetical fog is currently on offer, so that the diocese can achieve the sacred goal of “a unitary form of celebration.”   He cites Traditionis Custodes as “guided by the Holy Spirit.” He repeats the line that the reform of the liturgy directed by the council fathers and implemented by Paul VI and John Paul II is a “gift of the Holy Spirit.” He explicitly says he has chosen not to ask Rome for a dispensation to allow the old Mass in parish churches.   So the German bishops can spend years publicly undermining Catholic sexual morality, bless same sex couples, promote transgender ideology in Catholic schools, and Rome cannot quite bring itself to impose any meaningful penalty.   Traditional Catholics in east Tennessee, who simply want to worship as their ancestors did and as saints did for centuries, are told they may drive to a retreat center once a month because anything more generous might threaten “communion.”   The synodal path leads to rainbow flags in Cologne. The synodal path in Knoxville leads to families hauling infants and toddlers into a car for three hours each way to attend the one Mass Benedict XVI promised they would always have.   If you are wondering which group the hierarchy considers expendable, look at who gets punished.   Jimmy Akin Accidentally Joins The Resistance   And then there is Jimmy.   The world’s most reliable apologist for every novelty since the council has discovered that lay people can correct clergy.   In his latest video promo he asks whether the Church teaches that it is “not appropriate” to pray after Communion, because some priest allegedly discouraged private prayer when returning to the pew. Jimmy plans to explain “why he is wrong.”     Pressed on X, he cites Saint Paul rebuking Peter in Galatians, and Athanasius contradicting Arius when Athanasius was still a deacon. When someone is wrong, he says, “pointing it out is a spiritual work of mercy.” We have been warned against clericalism. Respect for priests does not mean “being silent when they are saying something factually false and imposing burdens on others.”     If you have spent the last decade watching Jimmy scold anyone who questions Francis, fiddle with the meaning of “assent,” and treat every papal interview as if it were Vatican I on stilts, you could be forgiven for blinking in disbelief.   So a layman in a cowboy hat can publicly correct a priest with delegated ordinary jurisdiction and a canonical mission who was “sent” by the Church to preach, teach, and instruct laity over a judgment about post-Communion prayer, complete with YouTube thumbnails screaming “WRONG.”   But when priests, theologians, and entire communities point out that the Francis/Leo regime has approved sacrilegious blessings, muddled the death penalty, rewritten catechism paragraphs, and tolerated sacrilege in places like Manhattan and Munich, they are accused of “attacking the pope,” flirting with schism, or failing in charity.   Jimmy is right about one thing.   It is a spiritual work of mercy to correct those who are wrong.   The tragedy is that conservative Catholic media will support him when he punches down at some random parish priest, but will denounce anyone who speaks the same way about Leo and his bishops who are dismantling Catholic doctrine in full view of the world.   The System Is Working Exactly As Designed     (Photo courtesy of Complicit Clergy)   Put the pieces together.   Germany proudly tops a “queer inclusiveness” index because synodality gives activists permanent leverage over doctrine and practice. Vatican officials wag fingers on paper, then look the other way as the revolution accelerates.   Also in Germany   New York priests showcase a gay civil “marriage” at the altar, confirm the man in that lifestyle, communicate both partners, and gloat on social media about unconditional mercy, while the cardinal records cheerful videos and hopes no one asks what Saint Paul meant by not being conformed to this world.   A southern bishop, professing his love for the old Mass and his compassion for suffering faithful, methodically implements Traditionis Custodes to ensure their children grow up in the new rite and the old rite slowly dies from exhaustion and distance.   And Jimmy Akin, whose entire career has been spent telling anxious Catholics that the pope cannot really lead you into error because the Spirit will not permit it, suddenly discovers that laymen may and must “correct” clergy who misteach and impose burdens.   The hierarchy reserves its outrage for kneelers, mantillas, and Latin.   The system works. Just not for you.   What Real Resistance Looks Like     There is a quiet temptation in all this to cling to the last respectable hope. If only Leo XIV sees what Francis did not. If only Dolan channels Cardinal Hayes. If only Rome finally reins in the Germans. If only some orthodox celebrity on YouTube drops the right episode.   The reality is harsher and, paradoxically, more liberating.   The same theological virus runs through the Synodal Path, Fiducia Supplicans, Knoxville’s implementation of Traditionis Custodes, the rainbow confirmation in Manhattan, and Jimmy Akin’s double standard. It is the belief that the postconciliar project itself is beyond question. The only permissible critique is that someone has gone “too far” in applying it or not far enough.   You, however, are under no obligation to pretend that contradictions are harmony. You can look at the last sixty years, look at the fruits, and say what any sane Catholic in another century would have said.   Blessing sodomy is evil. Confirming an unrepentant public sinner is evil. Forcing families to drive six hours for the ancient Mass while lavishing compassion on activists who mutilate children is evil. Using saints like Paul and Athanasius to justify policing a friar while shaming anyone who resists Bergoglian novelties is grotesque.   There is nothing clericalist about saying so. Quite the opposite.   If bishops and cardinals will not defend the faith, fathers and mothers will have to do it. If cowboys in leather fringe can take it upon themselves to correct a priest about post-Communion prayer, lay Catholics can certainly call out the far graver scandals that are tearing souls away from Christ.   The German activists are right about one thing. A new discipleship is rising.   The question is whether it will be another charismatic brand bolted onto the same collapsing structure, or a remnant that finally stops gaslighting itself, admits that the revolution was a revolution, and begins the long, costly work of returning to the faith that saved the world once already.   f you value independent Catholic analysis and want to help keep this work going, you can make a contribution or subscribe below.
