VATICAN ALARM: Pope Leo XIV WARNS THAT “EVIL HAS INFILTRATED THE HIERARCHY”

VATICAN ALARM: Pope Leo XIV WARNS THAT “EVIL HAS INFILTRATED THE HIERARCHY” — AND THE Catholic Church IS ON EDGE
The words were measured.
The meaning was explosive.

Speaking before senior clergy inside Vatican City, Pope Leo XIV reportedly issued one of the most unsettling warnings of his papacy:
The greatest spiritual danger, he said, is no longer outside the Church…
but growing quietly within it.
Witnesses describe a tense atmosphere.
Voices lowered.
Faces hardened.
No one interrupted.

The Pope spoke of compromised leadership, weakened discernment, and a growing risk that devotion could be slowly replaced by deception.
Within hours, whispers spread through Rome.
Emergency meetings were called.
Statements were carefully delayed.
Officials avoided direct answers.

Some insiders call it a call to spiritual renewal.
Others fear it signals a deep internal crisis.
Why speak so openly now?
Who was he warning against?
And how deep does the problem go?

Supporters say the Pope is urging believers to stay vigilant and faithful.
Critics worry the message exposes dangerous fractures in Church leadership.
One thing is certain:
This was not an ordinary sermon.
It was a warning.
A challenge.

And a demand for spiritual awakening.
For millions of Catholics, the message is clear:
The battle for faith is closer than anyone imagined.
