Since 2014, there have been 5 meetings of Popular Movements sponsored by the Vatican in various locations. The first was held in the Vatican. The second in Bolivia. The third was again held in the Vatican. The fourth was a virtual meeting held online. And in October of 2025, the Vatican again hosted the World Meeting of Popular Movements, and for the first time without Pope Francis.
The Lepanto Institute has just finished an in-depth analysis of the nature of the World Meeting of Popular Movements, the organizations involved, the venue in which it was held, and the final declaration the meeting participants delivered to Pope Leo. The terrible reality about this meeting is that the organizers, participants, and venue are all Marxists subscribing to what Pope Leo XIII called the “fatal fruit” of Socialism. And given the consistent and unwavering condemnations of all forms of communist/socialist/Marxist ideologies – “under various and almost barbarous names” as Pope Leo XIII said of them – this is a meeting that should never have happened, and can never be licit. In Rerum Novarum, Pope Leo XIII explicitly stated that regardless of what name these socialist entities call themselves, their central tenet – the holding of goods in common – is to be “utterly rejected.” Pope Pius XII took it a step further, declaring that those “who profess and particularly those who defend and spread, the materialistic and anti-Christian doctrine of the Communists” are ispo facto excommunicated as apostates from the faith.
This report on the World Meeting of Popular Movements (WMPM) is deadly serious because of the grave danger it poses to the Faithful and to civilization itself.

Red Popes Ping
Its Pope Karlos Marx and the slapstick Karl Marx Brothers?
What a joke.
The pope smokes dope.
So the abomination has told us who he is. I say we believe him.
I tend to assume that Catholic Christians are filtered out before rising to the level of cardinal. Am I wrong?
Pope schism. Like we didn’t already know this heretic was a commie. He can enjoy hell with Frankie.
How ironic. Marxists look down on religion. And they despise monarchies.
And Leo is the absolute monarch of a religion. I guess Leo is one of those “useful idiots” Lenin was talking about.
No wonder he wanted to meet with David Axelrod
Had to get his marching orders.
The pope unravels.
Just as Pope Benedict’s perfect Latin
gets decoded, his resignation takes on
new meaning, and makes news.
St. Maximilian Kolbe had a vision of the flag of the hammer and sickle flying over the Vatican.
“Since 2014, there have been 5 meetings of Popular Movements sponsored by the Vatican in various locations.” Never been invited.
Pope Francis says he wasn't offended by 'communist crucifix' gift
'Stolen Our Flag': Pope Says Communists Are Closet Christians
Makes me nauseous.
RE: The pope smokes dope.
Serious discussions now about the new book The Psychedelic Christ by William Henry.
And the 2016 book The Psychedelic Gospels: The Secret History of Hallucinogens in Christianity
by Jerry B. Brown and Julie M. Brown.
Neither one worth taking seriously in my opinion. The Henry one was discussed at length on a radio show I heard recently. Host and callers didn’t go for it.
“Drawing on the Gospels, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Essene mysticism, Egyptian and Greek mystery traditions, and modern neuroscience, William Henry explores the hypothesis that Jesus’ teachings about being “born from above” and entering the Kingdom of God were not theological abstractions — but references to an experiential, embodied transformation.
What was once practiced became believed. What was once entered became explained.”
Pope Marx II (eleven. HT Ilhan Omar) speaks.
