Pope Leo XIV Notes

Pope Leo XIV notes

1. The New Pope Must Purge the Church of the Lavender Mafia – Crisis Magazine – 5/6/25. SNAP (The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) submitted to Cardinal Parolin a list of six of the papabile cardinals who have “either enabled or concealed sexual abuse committed by Catholic Clergy”: Péter Erdő from Hungary, Kevin Farrell from the United States, Victor Manuel Fernández from Argentina, Mario Grech from Malta, Robert Francis Prevost from the United States, and Luis Antonio Tagle from the Philippines.  Also troubling is that Prevost was the favorite candidate of Fr. James Martin.
2. 5 worrying things you need to know about Leo XIV – LifeSite – 5/8/25.
   • Vocal critic of Trump immigration policy
   • Persecuted Bishop Strickland, appointed McElroy and other openly heterodox bishops in sees worldwide.
   • Banned Communion on tongue, reportedly promoted invalid confessions by phone
   • reposted a call for the abortion-tainted COVID-19 vaccines to be “available for all” and a USCCB post that called getting vaccinated “an act of love.”
   • Support of synodality and the ‘synodal church’
3. An honest assessment of Pope Leo XIV, his background, and his beliefs – LifeSite – 5/12/25. Reprinted with permission from Rorate Caeli.
4. What the New Pope’s Name Means for His Mission – Jeffrey Tucker, 5/13/25. Pope Leo XIII: two highly significant actions:
   • “The Syllabus of Errors” of 1864, which condemned religious freedom in no uncertain terms, and
   • The calling of a Vatican Council that lasted from 1869 to 1870 where Papal Infallibility was defined.
   • Lord Acton wrote his famous phrase: “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” It is usually believed to pertain to the government, but the historical context is different. He was speaking of the absolute power of the Pope!
   • Pius IX’s demands were eventually rejected by the Bishops and only the fallback position came to be codified, which is that the Pope reserves the power over faith and morals when speaking Ex Cathedra.

1. Where is Pope Francis? – The Catholic Thing – 5/26/25.  Sebastian Morello.

1. • Pope Leo has recently asserted multiple times that Pope Francis is in Heaven.  This is deeply problematic.  Such statements cause the faithful to doubt the gravity of Francis’s public sins – idol-worship (Pachamama), the suppression of an ancient apostolic rite of the Church, syncretism and religious relativism, the protection and promotion of predators and deviants, the abuse of the Church’s law, the teaching of heresy, etc.
   • Pope Francis may not be a formal heretic, but it’s clear that he was heretical.
   • Many theologians have begun to question the infallibility of canonizations… The canonization of Paul VI happened for one reason only, and that was to send a message to the faithful that if they think Vatican II was a disaster then, well, tough luck, because “there’s no going back.”
   • It is almost unthinkable – if the tradition of the Church on matters of idolatry, abuse of law, corruption of holy offices, etc., is taken seriously – that Francis is now in Heaven.

6. Pope Leo XIV Appoints A Heretic Monster To The Worst Possible Post In The Vatican – 5/28/25. John Paul II Institute was subverted under Pope Francis. That subversion continues.  Renzo Pegoraro is the new head of the Pontifical Academy for Life (PAL).
7. Who is Msgr. Pegoraro, the digital globalist who now heads the Pontifical Academy for Life? – LifeSite – 5/30/25. Pegoraro’s appointment caused consternation – why had a man who sympathizes with the “right to die” been given power over the Church’s pro-life mission?
8. A heartfelt plea to Pope Leo XIV to make the Pontifical Academy for Life Catholic again – LifeSite – 5/29/25
   • Under Pope Francis, the academy was radically restructured, Pegoraro was there:
     1. When 172 faithful members were dismissed in 2016
     2. When the pro-life pledge requirement was removed

• When new members were added who supported abortion, contraception, or even professed atheism…

• In 2019, Paglia gutted the JP2 Institute by dismissing the president Monsignor Livio Melina and suspending all professors. He then hired new staff who advocated for moral positions contrary to the teaching of the Catholic Church, including the blessing of homosexual couples and the reception of the sacraments.

22. Leo XIV: “Altar servers, be attentive to God’s call.” So Why Female Altar Servers? – 1Pt5, 9/19/25.
    • The inclusion of women in altar service and the ministry of acolyte—now even regulated at the canonical level—is the primary cause of the vocational crisis…
    • Male psychology is more suited to the priesthood because, by nature, man tends toward exteriority, symbolic representation, and mediation, whereas woman is more oriented toward interiority, receptivity, and nurturing.
    • The priestly ministry, which consists in acting in persona Christi as a mediator between God and men, requires a disposition toward ritual separation and the governance of a community—dimensions that align with the male psychological structure, which is more inclined toward norms and the necessary distance to exercise authority…
    • When girls take on the role of altar servers, boys gradually withdraw—and with them, the possibility that the Holy Spirit might speak to their hearts beside the altar.
23. International appeal urges Pope Leo to defend Catholic teaching on marriage – LifeSiteNews, 9/22/25. Catholic organizations are calling on Pope Leo to oppose pro-LGBT errors among Church leaders and rescind heterodox documents issued by Pope Francis.

26. Pope Leo says support for death penalty is ‘not pro-life,’ defends awarding pro-abortion Durbin – LifeSiteNews, 10/1/25.
27. Viganò: Honoring pro-abortion Sen. Durbin proves ‘seamless garment’ poison still infects Church – LifeSiteNews, 10/1/25. Prevost uses specious arguments – such as the alleged immorality of the death penalty or the rejection of illegal immigrants by civil authorities – to obtain his desired result of downgrading abortion…
28. The Pope’s statement on the Durbin award: wrong, and irrelevant – Catholic Culture, 9/30/25.
    • The key question that American bishops are now asking is whether Cardinal Cupich can justify bestowing an honor on a pro-abortion politician. Pope Leo did not address that question.
    • By approving the Lifetime Achievement award for Durbin, Cardinal Cupich is saying not merely that Durbin can be supported in preference to a (supposedly) flawed Republican electoral opponent, but that Durbin should be held up as a model for Catholic political leadership. Even an honest advocate of the seamless garment approach should reject that outrageous claim.
29. Pope Leo’s abortion remark sparks OUTRAGE – LifeSiteNews, 10/3/25.
30. Pope Leo condemns climate change critics – BBC, 10/1/25.
31. Poll: US priests still leaning conservative, think highly of Pope Leo, less so of bishops – Catholic Vote, 10/15/25.
32. Pope Leo’s Unbelievably Scandalous Endorsement of a Monster Shakes Catholics – Anthony Stine, 10/16/25.
    1. Pope Leo XIV appoints Cardinal Cupich to the Pontifical Commission for the Vatican City State. John Henry-Westin describes the group as handpicked by the Pope for their unwavering loyalty and alignment with the Pope’s vision.
    2. Pope Leo XIV praises Don Lorenzo Milani as a prophet. He was actually a despicable priest who openly fantasized about homosexual encounters with young boys.  Pope Francis considered this monster to be a “model for priests”.

36. The Accusations Against Pope Leo Just Got Worse – Return to Tradition, 10/30/25.
37. Pope Leo XIV: “No one possesses the entire truth” – Vatican City, 10/26/25 (LaPresse).
38. Did the Vatican Just Dishonor Mary? – Bud Macfarlane – 11/6/25. We are told to avoid the title “Co-Redemptrix” for Mary.
39. Most Holy Theotokos, Save Us!” – on the New Vatican Document about Marian Titles. 1Pt5, 11/5/25.
40. Pope Leo Accused Of Hiding The Evil Actions Of A Monster Priest – Return to Tradition, 11/7/25. Lute of Peru.
41. Bishop Athanasius Schneider responds to the Vatican’s new doctrinal note on the Marian titles “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix of All Graces” – Diane Montagna, 11/10/25. “The Saints, Doctors, and the Ordinary Magisterium of the Church could not have been mistaken.”
42. Bishop Mutsaerts: There’s no good reason why we can’t call Mary ‘Co-Redemptrix’ – LifeSiteNews, 11/18/25. I see nothing unreasonable in the idea that Mary, in a manner totally subordinate and arising from grace, participated in the work of Christ.  If Cardinal Fernandez is afraid that people will put Mary on an equal footing with Christ, then the problem is not with Mary but with Fernandez.
43. WATCH: USCCB ignores Bp. Strickland’s concerns about confirmation of homosexual ‘married’ ABC anchor – LifeSiteNews, 11/13/25. “On the day that disgraced Bp Strickland stood up at USCCB mtng to denounce @JamesMartinSJ for receiving into the Church a gay man in a relationship, Pope Leo warmly received a gay couple, smiling and nodding when they praised Fr Martin for his ministry,” Ivereigh wroteon X.
44. Pope Leo XIV meets with ‘married’ homosexuals at Vatican – LifeSiteNews, 11/13/25.
45. Pope Leo’s LGBT agenda: Vatican abandoning Christ? – LifeSiteNews, 11/13/25, 35-minute video. John-Henry Westen exposes how Pope Leo XIV is advancing Pope Francis’ progressive legacy, especially on LGBTQ inclusion. From high-profile meetings with activists like Fr. James Martin to appointments linked to homoerotic art, Westen warns that the Vatican is abandoning moral clarity. He contrasts this silence with past Church discipline, calling the shift a betrayal of truth. Framing the crisis as a spiritual battle, Westen urges Catholics to resist the false mercy being promoted as virtue.

60. John-Henry Westen OPEN LETTER to Cardinal Sarah RE:SSPX, 2/23/26. 12-minute video. John-Henry strongly disapproves of Cardinal Sarah’s plea to SSPX to obey Pope Leo & the Vatican while ignoring the detrimental impact on souls when the remaining bishops of the SSPX pass on.
61. German bishops elect new leader who rejected Church teaching on homosexuality – LifeSiteNews, 2/24/26. Bishop Heiner Wilmer, a supporter of the Synodal Way, voted in favor of documents falsely claiming that homosexual activity is ‘not a sin’ and calling for ‘blessing’ homosexual unions.
62. Pope Leo-appointed bishop calls same-sex ‘blessings’ a ‘step forward’ for the Church – LifeSiteNews, 2/24/26. ‘Being homosexual is not a sin. Indeed, it is not,’ said Bishop Satué. ‘The blessing of people who have a same‑sex relationship project is, in my view, a step forward.’

67. Leo XIV contradicted Catholic teaching on just war – LifeSite News, 4/15/26.
68. Bishop Schneider: Synod report on homosexuality ‘crossed the line from orthodoxy into heresy’ – LifeSiteNews, 5/12/26. The report from Study Group 9, titled “Theological criteria and synodal methodologies for shared discernment of emerging doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical issues,” suggestedthat homosexual “relationships” may not be sinful in themselves.
    1. Schneider: Synod report is ‘unequivocal heresy’ & Pope Leo XIV must act or face Christ’s rebuke!
    2. Priest at St. Patrick’s Cathedral denounces ‘disturbing’ Synod report on homosexual ‘relationships’ – LifeSiteNews, 5/12/26. Father Donald Haggerty.
    3. Cardinal Müller condemns pro-homosexual synod report, ‘heretical’ LGBT ideology – LifeSiteNews, 5/8/26. “Nowhere in Holy Scripture nor in the entire tradition of the Church,” the German cardinal now writes in response to these new publications, “is there anything to be seen or heard about a blessing of people in adulterous relationships, and certainly not about the authorization of bishops to order or permit deceitful and blasphemous blessings.”
69. A look back at Pope Leo XIV’s heterodox bishop appointments in his first year – LifeSiteNews, 5/8/26.
70. Leo’s LGBT scandals in his first year: Pro-homosexual ‘pilgrimage,’ meeting with James Martin, and more – LifeSiteNews, 5/8/26.

75. SSPX superior general addresses Pope Leo after Vatican says bishop ordinations will constitute schism – Zeale, 5/14/26.
76. The Roman Officials Don’t Believe in Schism… Well, Except for the SSPX… – Kennedy Hall, 6/1/26. The modern Catholic Church has changed the definitions of Canonization and Schism. Schism is meaningless in the modernist / post-conciliar framework (Paul Vi to JP II, Benedict, Francis and Leo XIV).
77. Toward a Religion with No Doctrinal or Moral Principles – 1P5, Raymond Kowalski, 5/12/26. They do not call it “change.”  They call it a “paradigm shift.” This is what someone says when they want to make you think that nothing is changing, when in fact everything is going to be different. I am talking about the “Final Report” of Study Group 9, released May 5, 2026.
78. Pope Leo XIV Renews Condemnation of Death Penalty – Michael Haynes, Pelican Brief, 5/15/26.
79. One year of Leo XIV: 365 days at the Conciliar Circus – Integrity Magazine, 5/15/26. Irrefutable evidence that the ‘Bergoglian’ revolution is intensifying.
80. One year into Pope Leo XIV: Are traditional Catholics losing hope? – LifeSiteNews, 5/21/26. Anthony Stine joins John-Henry Westen to assess Pope Leo XIV’s first year and whether hopes for major change in the Catholic Church are fading. The discussion examines Vatican actions involving same-sex blessing debates, synodal initiatives, Church appointments, and tensions over the Traditional Latin Mass and the Society of Saint Pius X. Concerns are raised that deeper questions surrounding authority, doctrine, and Catholic identity remain unresolved. The conversation also explores why some faithful Catholics feel increasingly discouraged or spiritually exhausted.
81. Special Post on Pope Leo’s Magnifica Humanitas – Michael Pakaluk, 5/25/26. With the help of Claude (AI), a detailed critique based on the prompt “Suppose you were looking at this text as if it were a draft and were asked to assess it critically, from the point of view of a sound, Catholic, well-educated person: list all of the issues you would flag for revision, from most egregious to least.” This resulted in 30+ doctrinal issues grouped into egregious, serious, and significant categories.
    1. In the appendix on the document’s economic failures, the document’s “economic vision that, while not formally socialist, is structurally sympathetic to socialist conclusions.”
    2. The document’s default solution to every problem … is State intervention, regulation, and oversight, supplemented by transnational governance. Private actors are consistently treated as sources of distortion to be corrected; public authorities are consistently treated as the correcting mechanism. The possibility that State action might itself be a source of distortion, or that markets and civil society might outperform State intervention on many of these questions, receives no serious consideration.
82. No, the just-war tradition is not ‘outdated’ – Catholic Culture, 5/26/26.
83. Leo XIV’s Magnifica Humanitas: a blueprint for the destruction of the Catholic Church – LifeSiteNews, 5/28/26.
84. Bishop Schneider Sets Out “Core Question” in SSPX Episcopal Consecration Debate – Diane Montagna, 6/4/26.
    1. Why is the SSPX’s unconditional acceptance of the texts of Vatican II being presented as a conditio sine qua non for full communion with the Holy See, while no comparable requirement exists with respect to the pastoral, disciplinary, or non-definitive teachings of the preceding twenty Ecumenical Councils?
    2. Why should reconciliation and patient dialogue be emphasized in the case of the German Bishops but not in the case of the SSPX?
85. I was at the SSPX Chartres-Paris pilgrimage. It made me realize they are not ‘schismatic’ – Marie Lacroix, LifeSiteNews, 5/27/26.
    1. The theme of this year’s pilgrimage was the need for vocations. The message was one of urgency and underlined the Society’s reason for consecrating new bishops: Without bishops, there would be no priests. And without priests, there would be no sacraments.
    2. Despite harsh criticism from all sides, even from Catholic bishops, the priests and bishops of the SSPX I’ve listened to have always spoken charitably about the hierarchy of the Church (while nevertheless condemning doctrinal errors as is their duty).
86. Bishop Strickland on Pope Leo’s Encyclical, the SSPX and More! – Pelican +, 5/28/26.

Gene Thomas Gomulka

1. WILL POPES WHO COVER UP ABUSE ‘BURN IN HELL?’ – by Gene Thomas Gomulka, 2/8/26. Over 30 years of correspondence between John Paul II and Anna Teresa Tymieniecka – despite astounding revelations uncovered, no U.S. mainstream or Catholic media outlet has yet to report on this hidden treasure, similar to the U.S. media cover-up of French investigative journalist Martin Boudot’s work, Sex Abuse in the Church: Code of Silence.
   • In his 2017 documentary, Boudot showed how Pope Francis, when he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires, covered up countless sex abuse casesand failed in his attempt to get the Appellate Court judges to overturn the 15-year prison sentence of Father Julio César Grassi, a convicted ephebophile priest.
   • Archbishop Viganò accused Francis in his August 2018 “Testimony” of covering up for serial sexual predator Theodore McCarrick, just like then-San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy and Pope Francis covered up the incriminating 2016 letter by the late psychotherapist Richard Sipe.
   • In 2024, just before his excommunication, Viganò also accused Francis of engaging in sexual relations with Jesuit Novices. Viganò wrote, “Bergoglio himself committed the same abuses [as McCarrick] when he was Master of Novices of the Society of Jesus in Argentina, as personally confided to me by one of his former novices.”
   • Unlike LifeSiteNewsand Complicit Clergy, U.S. mainstream and Catholic media covered up the sex abuse allegations while attempting to defend Francis’ excommunication of Viganò on the questionable grounds of “schism.”
   • I doubt the U.S. mainstream and Catholic media will report on the contents of the correspondence between Tymieniecka and Wojtyła because it would show that “The McCarrick Report,” commissioned by Francis, was a whitewash that attempted to shift blame from Francis to John Paul II.
   • the U.S. bishops met in Dallas, where they chose Cardinal Theodore McCarrick to write the ”Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People.“ The Charter exempted bishops from accountability by limiting its scope to priests and deacons. Consequently, countless bishops (Roger Mahoney, Howard Hubbard, George Lucas, John Nienstedt, Nicholas DiMarzio, Edward Grosz, Michael Bransfield, etc.) who were accused of abusing children and vulnerable adults, including seminarians, have never, to this day, been held to account for their crimes.
2. LITTLE CHRISTMAS JOY FOR ABUSE VICTIMS; Pope Leo inspires little hope for justice. Gene Thomas Gomulka 12/28/25. The election of Pope Leo XIV has proven to be “business as usual” when it comes to the Pope protecting predator clergy and bishops who engage in abuse, underreport or cover up abuse, and even reprise against good priests and seminarians who report clerical sexual predation and homosexual misconduct in their seminaries and dioceses. While Prefect for the Dicastery for Bishops and as the Pope, Leo’s appointments of prelates like Robert McElroy, Ronald Hicks, Edward Weisenburger, James Checchio, and others who have documented records of mishandling sexual abuse within their dioceses have proven to be a great disappointment to abuse survivors and groups like the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP).
3. HOW CAN ANYONE RESPECT POPES LIKE LEO AND FRANCIS? – Gene Thomas Gomulka, 4/26/26
4. THE CHURCH’S GRAVE PROGNOSIS – Gene Thomas Gomulka, 5/31/26.
   1. Both Pope Leo XIV and most bishops continue to cover up sexual abuse and punish whistleblowers.
   2. When I wrote to Pope Leo on May 19, 2025, and offered to return to ministry on the condition that he discipline clerics who covered up abuse, I never received a response.
   3. When I called my own bishop, Mark Bartchak, and twice requested to speak with him about the fact that, not having been laicized, I am canonically still a priest and a monsignor of the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese, my calls to him were never returned. Bishop Bartchak knows I, as a whistleblower, was unjustly removed from ministry for reporting a promiscuous gay Catholic Navy Chaplain in Hawaii in 2002.
5. Unfaithful Gay and Predator Clergy supported, while Faithful straight Clergy Canceled – Gene Thomas Gomulka, 6/7/26.
6. DEAR POPE FRANCIS AND NOW POPE LEO – Gene Thomas Gomulka, 5/17/26.
