Visibly and emotionally moved by his election, the Augustinian Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost addressed his first words as Pope Leo XIV. In his inaugural statement, he expressed the need to promote the post-Vatican II emphasis on ecumenism and interreligious dialogue, which is a continuation of Pope Francis’ legacy to create a universal fraternity and solidarity. Pope Leo XIV also called on people to build bridges, signaling his view that Rome will be an agent to heal the wounds of a divided world.
On May 8, 2025, NPR News published Pope Leo XIV’s speech which read in part:
• “I am a son of Saint Augustine, an Augustinian,” who said: “with you I am a Christian and for you I am a bishop. In this sense, we can all walk together towards that homeland that God has prepared for us.” [1]
• “To the Church of Rome, a special greeting! We must seek together how to be a missionary Church, a Church that builds bridges, dialogue, always open to receive like this square with its open arms, all, all who need our charity, our presence, dialogue and love.” [1]
Pope Leo XIV appears committed to advancing the goal of bringing nations, cultures, and religions together in the pursuit of common ground. His emphasis on bridge-building, openness, and charity reflects the Fratelli Tutti framework, which seeks to move the world toward a unified global community rooted in Catholic social teachings and traditions. In doing so, the new Pope aims not only to strengthen interfaith relations and international cooperation but also to elevate the Vatican as the moral force driving the world toward unity and peace.
The world, under the growing diplomatic influence of the Vatican, believes it is heading toward a period of peace and unity, driven by calls for global brotherhood, interfaith cooperation, and shared values. However, according to Bible prophecy, this quest for global unity will culminate in a false and enforced unity that will be perpetuated by the final crisis foretold in the Apocalypse. As political and religious powers unite under the pretext of peace and moral restoration, they pave the way for a global system that will ultimately impose the mark of the beast.
“When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near” (Testimonies, Vol. 5, p. 451).

Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost is now to be officially known as Pope Leo XIV. He will begin his pontificate as he will be inaugurated on 18th, May,2025 ,the coming sunday ,that’s when he will take the office. Many world leaders and religious leaders are expected to attend, the choice of his name ”LEO” which in Latin means lion will definitely define the course of actions his papacy will take and the direction he will take in his decisions. This new Pope has declared he will continue the path of his predecessor’s Pope Francis vision on issues such as the social justice, immigration, climate change, ecumenism. Pope Leo XIV, comes from the Mendican Friars a catholic religious order who’s objective is to overthrow the Protestanism. Mendican Friars participated in persecution of early protestant reformers like John Wycliffe,so it’s very likely this pope is very likely to eradicate the true christians in these last days. His predecessor Pope Leo XIII who ruled from the year (1878 -1903) during his papacy issued an ”Encyclical” called RERUM NEVORUM which called for Sunday rest. He is the first Pontiff to come from U.S and he has also peruvian roots, and it’s noteworthy to note that Peru was one of ancient sun worshippers. The peruvians called ”Sungod ”Lutti” i think this is one of the reasons the cardinals in the conclave considered inorder to elect the new pontiff. So, this title of bridge builder is called Pontiffex Maximus (Supreme Pontiff). The leader of the largest religious and political entity on the earth who appoints ambassadors (Apostolic Nunciature) to 183 countries world wide. The RERUM NEVORUM goes together hand in hand with”PROJECT 2025” Which also calls for the Sunday rest by law. In this closing scenes of the earth’s history we might witness the fulfillment of the bible prophecies than any other time ever before, let’s draw closer to our Lord Jesus Christ than ever before because the probation is soon to close?”
There is another note worthy point to note: The choice of the name Leo does not come by accident?” Why?” Because if we go back to the history”it was during the reign of Pope Leo III who crowned the King of France Charlemagne in the year 800 A.D. During the time of protestant reformation, Pope Leo X , he rejected the the Martin Luther reformation and he issued his papal bull of 1520 and Luther was excommunicated(Exsurge domine).During the reign of Pope Leo XIII , wrote an article an encyclical known as RERUM NEVORUM calling for sunday rest by law for labour workers and the families. Now in our modern times, we have Pope Leo XIV,who now wants to allign his agenda to that of his predecessor Pope Leo XIII?”Let’s get ready for the final crisis as the final events unfold.”
