Right now, faithful Catholics not only in France but across the world must be struggling to swallow, let alone digest, Leo XIV and the conciliar hierarchy’s pro-migration agenda and its accompanying hérésie nouvelle of “infinite human dignity.”
Images and reports streaming out of France paint one of the darkest pictures in recent European history, as unrestricted migration, the Islamification of Europe, and the Left’s opportunistic exploitation of the situation converge, yielding their destructive fruits.
One disturbing video showing a rioter straddling a statue of France’s patron saint, St. Joan of Arc, in the Place des Pyramides in Paris while others cheer him on is a potent symbol of the crisis: Islam is a religion of dominion, and it has conquered France with the help of the Marxist Left.
Leo XIV and his conciliar colleagues have much to answer for. During his recent papal journeys, Leo shamelessly championed the cause of migration. “Human dignity has no passport and does not lose its value when crossing a border,” he declared in Spain, shortly before reports emerged of migrant chaos and crime breaking out there.
In the same address, the American Augustinian also said that “human dignity demands legal and safe pathways, rescue and assistance, real cooperation against traffickers, effective protection for victims,” but conspicuously failed to strongly affirm how host populations themselves are entitled to respect, protection, and safety.
“You are not just numbers or files. You are people who have left behind families and homes,” he said in another address, apparently oblivious to the moral hazard his words provided to the hostile actors among them. Indeed, observers have repeatedly pointed to the disproportionate presence of young, military-age men among migrant groups arriving on European shores without wives or children. Real refugees flee with their families, but an invading army leaves them at home.
Leo seemed not to have learned his lesson when reports of migrant-related crime and unrest emerged from Ceuta following his visit. Instead, when he was in France, he doubled down. “We must grasp the historical significance of what is taking place, namely an unprecedented encounter between peoples and cultures,” he told his audience in Metz, France. “To welcome a person means to integrate them as if they were part of one’s own family.”
But not only has Leo, but also the Vatican been rather short on how “integration” is supposed to occur between such disparate peoples and cultures. The constant messaging is simply more, more, and more immigration while forgetting, or perhaps purposefully neglecting, the reality that some persons are simply not able to be integrated into Western Civilization. No doubt the images circulating from France this weekend confirmed that fact. Integration appeared to be the last thing on the minds of those who participated in the violence with hellish lust.
Footage circulating on social media showed disturbing scenes such as an elderly couple stripped to their underwear and subjected to harassment, liberal demonstrators sympathetic to the rioters pleading with them, desperately attempting to convince them that they were “on their side,” and endless scenes of violence, destruction, and vandalism.
The Dispatch
It is difficult to reconcile these events with Leo’s new religion of infinite human dignity. In his blueprint for his neo-humanist theology, Magnifica Humanitas, he declares in paragraph 50 that “Human dignity does not depend on a person’s abilities, wealth or position in life, nor on the right or wrong choices made.” Two paragraphs later, he added, “no sin, failure, humiliation or exclusion can diminish the profound value of a human life.”
Once again, the practical application of this man-centred philosophy — which is displacing traditional Catholic teaching — seems curiously one-sided when viewed in the light of the current situation in France and Europe. The dignity of persons arriving in Europe receives endless emphasis, while the dignity, security, cultural inheritance, and legitimate concerns of the receiving populations are vilified.
Leo has relentlessly promoted this human-dignity agenda at every opportunity, with progressive bishops’ conferences around the world parroting his pronouncements almost without exception. The riots in France, which the liberal mainstream media has deceptively portrayed as mere “student protests,” and which have spread to Brussels, Amsterdam, Milan, and other major European cities, can also not be seen as some strange anomaly that happened out of the blue overnight.
France has been losing the culture war, to say nothing of the spiritual one, for some time. Reports concerning attacks on Christian churches, religious monuments, and cultural symbols illustrate the increasingly hostile environment confronting the country’s Catholic heritage.
According to France’s Ministry of the Interior, 817 of the 843 anti-Christian incidents recorded in France in 2025 involved Catholic targets or communities. The French Senate reported as recently as October 2026 that 458 anti-Christian incidents had already been recorded during the first half of this year. These figures exclude incidents associated with the latest unrest.
The timing of these outbreaks of violence and vandalism is also suspicious, coming so soon after Leo’s recent visit, which was widely celebrated in certain Catholic circles as a “victory for Catholicism.” One is reluctantly reminded of Israeli Rabbi David Touitou ‘s chilling 2013 speech, in which he welcomed the advance of Islam in Europe as a means of bringing about the downfall of Christian civilization:
The Messiah will come when ‘Edom’ [Europe/Christianity] will have totally fallen. So, I ask you: is it good news that Islam is invading Europe? That’s excellent news. This announces the arrival of the Messiah. Excellent news. When Italy disappears, when ‘Edom’… when that place disappears — and that’s what Islam is going to do, Islam is the broom of Israel, know it — then, instead of doing all this work, he [God] sends Ishmael [Muslims] to solve the problem. When he gets rid of all this… then the coming of the Messiah will be imminent
It is also interesting to note that Marie-Julie Jahenny (1850–1941), a French Catholic mystic, warned of a period of immense suffering and upheaval in France. According to her prophecies, France would descend into political chaos, civil war, violent revolution, and religious persecution, accompanied by foreign invasions and the destruction of major cities, including Paris. She warned of a profound decline in Christianity and the country’s Catholic identity, followed by widespread suffering and divine punishment, including a mysterious event known as the Three Days of Darkness.
But, whether one wants to attach value to the mystic’s visions or not, one thing is certain. What Europe needs now, more than ever, is the courage, faith and conviction of a St. Pius V, who successfully rallied Christendom at Lepanto against the Muslim invasion, and the indomitable spirit of a St. Joan of Arc, who rose to defend her nation in its darkest hour.
Europe needs Catholic leaders of unwavering faith, moral clarity and heroic resolve to enforce militant remigration, and rid the continent of Islam, Masonry, and the subverting influence of international Jewry.
