Leo XIV: The Dawn of Disillusion
"The speech that Leo XIV addressed to representatives of other ecclesial communities and religions disappointed and saddened me", writes AldoMariavalli.it (May 19). He speaks of "the first disappointment.
"I had hoped for a change of course from the infamous Bergoglian watchwords on universal brotherhood, ecumenism and synodality."
But: "Instead the pope confirmed everything, and he did so by quoting Bergoglio's documents verbatim, including the ill-fated Abu Dhabi declaration."
Valli refers to several quotes from Leo XIV's speech:
- "One of the strong points of Pope Francis' pontificate has been that of universal fraternity. On this the Holy Spirit has really 'pushed' him to make progress."
- "Aware that synodality and ecumenism are closely linked, I wish to assure you of my intention to continue Pope Francis' efforts to promote the synodal character of the Catholic Church."
- "You have witnessed the remarkable efforts made by Pope Francis in favor of interreligious dialogue."

Ecumenism has failed for over half a century. When will the human Church start listening to the Holy Ghost?
@Mike the Pike But it has succeeded. Ecumenism has made what was once the Roman Catholic Church like other Protestant religions. That was the goal all along.
Leo had the perfect opportunity to unite the Church so I am most puzzled by his divisive statement regarding Francis being in heaven. If a smart man wanted to unite the Church he wouldn't say that. Now in his general audience he is reported to have said "God is confident and hopes that sooner or later the seed will blossom." But we know God does not hope, nor does He have confidence so I am expecting to see a lot of doctrine watered down.
In every one of his (Leo XIV) greetings, salutations, speeches, audiences....he has continuously referenced, revered, quoted and imitated aka Francis! From the very beginning! I was alarmed the first time I heard him.
The bells of "unity" aka synodality were blasting my eardrums. Instantaneously my brain was again invaded by the "Bergoglion/Francis" urticaria!!
