Pope Leo's Communist Ties Revealed: What Catholics Need to Know

Pope Leo XIV has been connected to communist affiliated organizations. Michael Hitchborn of the Lepanto Institute joins John-Henry Westen to examine the evidence and ask the question that faithful Catholics are demanding: how does this square with the Pope's duty to defend the faith? Hitchborn revisits his investigation into Pope Leo's past associations and discusses the Vatican's response to public controversies involving pro-abortion politicians. He argues that longstanding Church teaching on Canon 915, which bars those in grave sin from receiving Holy Communion, has been undermined in favor of a politically driven "seamless garment" approach to pro-life issues. The result is confusion: traditional Catholics face scrutiny, while pro-abortion politicians receive pastoral accommodation.

Leo XIV’s Meeting with Female 'Archbishop' Earns LAWSUIT | Anthony Stine

Pope Leo XIV met publicly with Anglican leader Sarah Mullally, accepting her blessing and addressing her according to episcopal protocol. Anthony Stine argues the gesture was not merely ecumenical. It has potentially serious legal and ecclesial consequences. Stine contends that by treating Mullally as a legitimate archbishop, the Vatican has unintentionally strengthened arguments from European activists who claim the Catholic Church's all-male priesthood constitutes unlawful gender discrimination. American legal protections for religious autonomy do not exist in Europe, where equality laws are increasingly applied to religious institutions. France and the European Union present a particularly vulnerable legal environment. Stine argues that debates over the SSPX, the Latin Mass, Marian doctrine, and recent Vatican documents are not about liturgical preferences, they are about preserving Catholic doctrine itself. He points to Cardinal Fernández's published writings as evidence of a deeper theological problem.

What Church History REVEALS About Leo’s Pontificate: Burke, Mariam & Schneider's Analysis

Mother Miriam, Bishop Schneider, and Cardinal Burke all maintain that Pope Leo XIV is the legitimate pope, despite criticizing aspects of his teaching. But church historian Ed Mazza argues that the more fundamental question is whether the current pope is truly a valid pope at all. Drawing on Church history, councils, theologians, and papal writings, Mazza contends that the Catholic Church has consistently taught that a pope cannot officially teach heresy through the Church's magisterium. Accepting the idea of a pope promulgating doctrinal error while remaining pope creates a theological contradiction. Historical debates over heretical popes and antipopes are not abstract; they are precedents. Looking at historical examples of saints, bishops, and lay Catholics confronting suspected antipopes and heresy: St. Columba, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Vincent Ferrer. Church history demonstrates that faithful Catholics have sometimes publicly challenged ecclesiastical authorities when they believed the faith was endangered, while also stressing the importance of charity toward those who disagree.

Here She Is: Catholic Teacher FIRED for Opposing Abortion

Sarah Lee Morse was a substitute teacher in Scotland. Students asked her repeatedly about abortion. She answered honestly: "As a faithful Catholic, I don't agree with it. I don't support it." She acknowledged others disagreed. She redirected students to their work. She was dismissed the same day. No warning. No opportunity to explain. Just termination for expressing a religious belief—in response to a question she did not initiate. Morse is now pursuing a discrimination claim based on religious belief. She argues that students should be exposed to differing opinions, not indoctrinated into a single viewpoint. When a student pressed her on abortion in cases of rape, she responded: "I don't think it's right to punish a child for something bad that the parent did."

Laicized Right Before the Conclave: The Priest Who Accused Leo XIV of Covering Up Abuse

A monsignor with decades of service in canon law, including work in Peru and the Diocese of Colorado Springs, was laicized just days before the conclave that elected Pope Leo XIV. He claims it was not justice. It was retaliation. The monsignor alleges that false accusations, manipulated evidence, and irregular canonical procedures were used to destroy his reputation after he defended alleged abuse victims and publicly criticized influential Church leaders. He says he was never shown a formal decree of dismissal. He says due process was never afforded. He says the Church authorities who destroyed him relied on power, not law. At the center of his accusations: Pope Leo XIV, then Cardinal Robert Prevost, whom the monsignor accuses of covering up abuse and orchestrating his removal. He also names Bishop Michael Sheridan, Bishop James Golka, and Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò in his account of a system that punishes those who speak truth.
