Pope Leo XIV received today King Charles III and his concubine Camilla as if they were a couple. Her husband Andrew Parker Bowles was not invited.
The Pope, the King and their servants held an ecumenical prayer service in the Sistine Chapel. This is the first time that a British monarch and a pope have prayed together in the chapel since 855.
Charles attended as the King and as Head of a heretical group called ‘Church of England’.
It is hard to ignore the fact that the Anglican Church split due to a British monarch’s insistence on the right to divorce and remarry.
During the visit, Leo XIV and King Charles III declared themselves honorary brothers. These new titles symbolise closer ties, making Leo XIV a Papal Brother of St George’s Chapel at Windsor and Charles III a Royal Confrater of St Paul Outside the Walls.
However, exchanging honorary titles and participating in a joint prayer service does not address the significant doctrinal differences between Catholicism and Anglicanism.
By way of contrast: In October 2001, Pope John Paul II granted a private audience to the Mexican president, Vicente Fox, and his concubine Martha Sahagún, who were both divorced Catholics. They were, however, received separately.
Amoris is where Antipope Bergoglio says hell doesn’t exist.
Muslims (cough) are allowed concubines, even multiple wives.
Then Cardinal Ratzinger explained ideas for a trifurcated papacy with three men as one papacy a collection of his essays compiled into a book titled: Church, Ecumenism, Politics: New Endeavors in Ecclesiology.
This apostasy and heresy in the Church was designed and implemented by him and others.
Two heads of states. Could stomach that. But of course the divorced and remarried Catholic has to be seen flipping pages in the Sistine.
If he’s the pope, I’m the grand imam of mecca.
I guess you are the grand imam of mecca then.
Should we expect Leo to receive the high priestess of Canterbury next and provide her with a faldstool next to Chuck’s chair (or maybe his own)?
I can’t rule it out!
Trying to get my history straight. Was Henry VIII an adulterous murderer or a murderous adulterer? That’s in addition to being the Head of the Church of England, of course.
Mr. J.A.D.
Since you brought it up, I HAVE harbored suspicions of you BEING the Grand Imam of Mecca.
WTH?
Turning the Vatican into a Rotary Club.
I refer to him as Antipope Bob.
I don’t refer to him at all.

Must have confused you w/ some other dude.
Mark, Benedict met them too in 2009, So what’s your point, exactly? Why not post those pictures?
Kevin, if you hate everything I post here, why keep coming back? Also, did you know that making false equivalencies is a species of deceit? Yes, they were received as a couple by Benedict, in public, when he should have received them separately and in private. However, this was not done in the Sistine, was it? Nor was Charles yet head of state nor head of c of e. Prevost was in full choir and stole… clearly conducting a liturgical act in union with the head of a heretical sect, going so far as to “enthrone” Charles at SPOTW. Just because Benedict bungled things from time to time does not make him the same as these apostates, and I’m tired of the accusation.
Mark, you should be able to take criticism to the views that you’re putting out in public and I’m being very specific on what I’m calling you out on. To claim that I hate everything you post, well that may be a form of deceit, is it not? Your post, the title itself, points to Pope Leo meeting with them as a result of Amoris Laetitia and trying to present it as the result of the last few years when actually, as I pointed out, Benedict did receive them. So in response, you now point to the Sext service and enthronement which is a fair and legitimate criticism and what you should have led with. But even so, ecumenical gatherings and prayers is nothing new for the Popes is it? And, while Benedict did not have a joint prayer service with the Queen, it’s hard to imagine that she, with her strong commitment to Anglicanism, would have been open to it anyway, as Charles is. Yes, false equivalencies are indeed a form of deceit and you seem blind to the fact that as you make accusations against Pope Leo, there’s pretty similar things that the guys before already did, maybe not in all scenarios, maybe to a lesser degree. But it’s there. Last I checked, Pope Leo was not at V2 and didn’t promulgate the Novus Ordo or suppress the TLM in the 70s and 80s. Pope Leo did not suppress the SSPX and declare Lefebvre and his bishops as excommunicated. The problems in the church did not start in 2013 or 2025.
What a betrayal of the English Reformation martyrs. I’m thinking, among others, of the Carthusian monks and laybrothers starved to death in Newgate Prison by Henry VIII. Initially kept alive by Margaret Giggs Clement who gained access to the prison disguised as a milkmaid, she was eventually prevented from seeing them and they were left to their fate. And Margaret Giggs Clement was…the adopted daughter of St.Thomas More.
Here’s a short article. Savour the last part about Margaret on her deathbed!

Don’t besmirch the good name of the Rotary Club by comparing it to the Vatican.
