Leo XIV to Visit Assisi for 40th Anniversary of Interreligious Prayer Meeting

October 27 of this year marks the 40th anniversary of the infamous first interreligious ‘World Day of Prayer for Peace’ meeting hosted by Bishop Karol Wojtyla, otherwise known as ‘Pope’ (and now ‘Saint’) John Paul II, in Assisi, Italy.

On that day in 1986, representatives of the world’s major religions came together, under the leadership of the man almost everyone thought was the Pope of the Catholic Church, to pray for world peace.

The religions represented included counterfeit ‘Catholicism’, Eastern Orthodoxy, Protestantism, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Shintoism, Tenrikyo, Sikhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Baha’i, African traditional religions (incl. Voodooism), and Native American religions.

This motley crew assembled in Assisi, first at the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels for an opening address by John Paul II. Then the representatives for each religion went to a separate, designated place at which they carried out whatever rituals, ceremonies, and/or prayers were proper to their ‘tradition’ in order to help procure peace. All the ‘Christians’, of course, did not pray separately but came together for an ecumenical prayer service.

In the afternoon, all the Christians, Jews, Muslims, and pagans processed to the Basilica of St. Francis, outside of which a platform had been installed in the Lower Square. Seated there with John Paul II at the center, the leaders for each religion took turns in petitioning whatever God or god(s) they believed in for peace.

This is what it all looked like:

Regardless of whatever may have been affirmed or denied in words at this abominable gathering, the photos alone speak volumes. If nothing else, what was communicated in images at this interreligious meeting is that all religions are equal, they all have value, and they all provide access to God, and the prayers of all religions are equally efficacious, or at least efficacious enough.

That is is the message that was sent, and it was unmistakably intended that way. This means that the only true religion, that of Our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, was treated as being merely one among many; with the evident implication that it does not really matter to which religion one belongs, at least not when it comes to obtaining peace. It was a Freemason’s dream come true!

For real Catholics, however, none of this was cause for rejoicing. In 1928, Pope Pius XI explained why it was not permissible for Catholics to take part in interreligious meetings like that:

Certainly such attempts can nowise be approved by Catholics, founded as they are on that false opinion which considers all religions to be more or less good and praiseworthy, since they all in different ways manifest and signify that sense which is inborn in us all, and by which we are led to God and to the obedient acknowledgment of His rule. Not only are those who hold this opinion in error and deceived, but also in distorting the idea of true religion they reject it, and little by little, turn aside to naturalism and atheism, as it is called; from which it clearly follows that one who supports those who hold these theories and attempt to realize them, is altogether abandoning the divinely revealed religion.

(Pope Pius XI, Encyclical Mortalium Animos, n. 2; underlining added.)

In 1884, Pope Leo XIII had issued an encyclical against Freemasonry. In it, he identified as “the great error of this age” the Masonic idea that “a regard for religion should be held as an indifferent matter, and that all religions are alike.” He went on to explain: “This manner of reasoning is calculated to bring about the ruin of all forms of religion, and especially of the Catholic religion, which, as it is the only one that is true, cannot, without great injustice, be regarded as merely equal to other religions” (Encyclical Humanum Genus, n. 16).

The damnable heresy of Indifferentism has poisoned countless souls in our day, when a great many people who consider themselves Catholics believe that it ultimately does not matter what religion one professes — either at all, or at least not as long as it is of a ‘Christian’ type — and as long as one is sincere in one’s beliefs.

Alas, the interreligious prayer meeting of 1986 in Assisi did not remain a singular occurrence; it proved to be only the beginning of a whole ‘tradition’ of such conferences.

Indeed, follow-up gatherings of the same kind have taken place annually since then, at different locations; but most of them are on a smaller scale and without the presence of the ‘Pope’, which is why they don’t typically generate international headlines necessarily.

There are a few major ones, however, which include the participation of the ‘Pope’. During his long ‘pontificate’, John Paul II himself presided over three such meetings. Since then, each one of his successors has also attended at least one. Here is the list:

Even though he has only had a short tenure so far, ‘Pope’ Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) has already taken part in one such meeting. It took place on Oct. 28, 2025, at the Colosseum in Rome. Here is the full video of the disgraceful and blasphemous event (direct link here):

.
Leo himself gave a speech “in the presence of Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, and other religious representatives” then, as Vatican News reported. The full text of the ‘papal’ address is available here.

Also, let’s not forget what Leo wrote in a Sep. 14, 2025 message to participants in the 8th Congress of the Leaders of World and Traditional Religions then assembled in Astana, Kazakhstan: “The historic gathering of religious leaders for prayer in Assisi in 1986, convened by Pope John Paul II, demonstrated that there can be no peace among nations without peace among religions.”

The maxim that “there can be no peace among nations without peace among religions” comes from the notorious Swiss arch-heretic Hans Küng (1928-2021) and amounts to a denial of the Social Kingship of Christ, who is the “Prince of Peace” (Isaias 9:6) and who alone gives true peace: “…the peace of Christ … is the only true peace…”, Pope Pius XI affirmed (Encyclical Ubi Arcano Dei, n. 37); and he made clear that “as long as individuals and states refused to submit to the rule of our Savior, there would be no really hopeful prospect of a lasting peace among nations” (Encyclical Quas Primas, n. 1).

Clearly, then, Leo XIV is a man fully in line with the theology behind the Assisi interfaith prayer meetings, so it only makes sense that he would attend one, especially on the occasion of the 40th anniversary.

Assisi 2026: From John Paul II to Leo XIV

This year’s interreligious prayer event at Assisi will take place from Oct. 25-27 and be held under the motto “Unarmed and Disarming Peace”. Marco Impagliazzo, the president of the Sant’Egidio Community, which organizes these meetings, spoke at an Oct. 6 press conference at the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication. Here is the full video (direct link here):

.
On its official web site, the Sant’Egidio Community announces details regarding the somewhat elaborate gathering in Assisi:

The Meeting will bring together 384 representatives of religions, cultures and institutions from 53 countries, with 155 speakers taking part in 24 thematic forums. Around 5,000 people are expected to attend.

The Opening Assembly will take place on the afternoon of Sunday, 25 October, at UmbriaFiere in Bastia Umbra. Over the following days, forums and round-table discussions will address some of the most pressing issues on the international agenda: conflicts, nuclear disarmament, migration, democracy, the environment, new technologies and the role of religions in building peace.

On Tuesday, 27 October, the Meeting will conclude with the participation of Pope Leo XIV and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I. Following prayers for peace according to the different religious traditions, the leaders will gather in the Lower Square of the Basilica of Saint Francis for the closing ceremony and a message of peace addressed to the world.

For further information, here are some links to various news reports/commentaries on the interfaith prayer meeting and Leo’s participation in it:

In a recent talk given at the Pontifical University Antonianum in Rome, the prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, ‘Cardinal’ George Koovakad (b. 1973), pointed out that there is a connection between John Paul II’s first Assisi abomination and Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas. In that document, the counterfeit pope wrote:

In rejecting the mindset of violence, interreligious dialogue plays a decisive role, because at the heart of the great spiritual paths lies a message of peace. Whereas those who use the name of God to legitimize terrorism, violence or war betray his true nature, for to fight in the name of religion means attacking religion itself. The “spirit of Assisi,” evoked by Saint John Paul II and carried forward by Pope Francis — for example, through his dialogue with the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar — shows that believers can draw upon the most authentic sources of their particular spiritual traditions, where there is no room for “sanctified hatred.”

(Antipope Leo XIV, Encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, n. 223)

Regarding this passage, Koovakad maintains: “With these words, the 27th of October, 1986, becomes part of the ordinary teaching of the Magisterium. It is no longer merely an event to be remembered: It is a criterion through which to interpret the present.” (“Con queste parole il 27 ottobre 1986 entra nell’insegnamento ordinario del Magistero. Non è più soltanto un evento da ricordare: è un criterio con cui leggere il presente.”)

That is an absolutely explosive statement which, assuming Leo XIV sees it the same way, has the potential to kick the Neo-Modernist theology of the Vatican II religion into overdrive. An interreligious abomination of colossal proportions that de facto made all religions equal — to use this as a criterion for interpreting the present (which will then be used in their experience-based theology of reading the ‘signs of the times’) risks opening a pandora’s box of ideas so blasphemous and apostatical that they may very well usher in the coming of the Antichrist.

More information on Koovakad’s presentation is available here:

The Second Vatican Council (1962-65) amounted to a theological revolution already, but that was only the beginning. ‘Pope’ Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) in particular was busy taking bold steps to launch the next ‘paradigm shift’ in theology:

Ever since 1986, thanks to John Paul II, the “Spirit of Assisi” has been invoked, or should we say, conjured?

In 1996, ‘Cardinal’ Roger Etchegaray (1922-2019) wrote a reflection on the tenth anniversary of the first Assisi gathering, entitled “The Spirit of Assisi”. In it he observed that “it was Pope John Paul II who coined the expression.” And indeed, it was on Oct. 29, 1986, two days after the World Day of Prayer for Peace, that he gave one more address to the “respected leaders of world religions”, who had come to the Vatican for an audience with him. He ended it with the words: “Let us continue to live the spirit of Assisi.”

Curiously, in his Christmas address to the Roman Curia that year, John Paul II spoke of the “pressing call to rediscover and always keep alive the spirit of Assisi as a reason for hope for the future” (Dec. 22, 1986). So, less than two months later, Wojtyla already found it necessary to encourage people to “rediscover” this oh-so brilliant and powerful interreligious gift to the world!

As for Etchegaray, he infamously concluded his short article with ominous words that, given all we know today, can only be described as a curse: “‘Spirit of Assisi’, come upon us all!”

No, thanks.

Rather: St. Joseph, Terror of Demons, pray for us and protect us from the ‘Spirit of Assisi’!
