Another piece of evidence: Leo's new pastoral staff has a "resurrected Christ" flying off the Cross.
The story behind Pope Leo XIV’s new papal staff
Jan 12, 2026 / 12:25 pm
Last week during the Jan. 6 closing of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Leo XIV used a new papal staff, or ferula, which is used by pontiffs in solemn ceremonies and represents their leadership as bishop of Rome and supreme pastor of the entire Church.
According to the Office of Liturgical Celebrations of the Holy See, popes have traditionally received this insignia after their election, when they took possession of their see in St. John Lateran Basilica.
The papal staff, used only by the pope and topped with a cross or a crucifix, is different from the bishop’s crozier — the shepherd’s staff — which ends in a curve and is used by bishops and archbishops.
It was St. Paul VI who, in 1965 on the occasion of the closing of the Second Vatican Council, used a silver ferula with a crucifix designed by the sculptor Lello Scorzelli. The pontiff began to use this cross with increasing frequency in liturgical celebrations, as his successors would later do. …
The Catholic Faith teaches the TRUTH which is opposed to the lies and deceptions which this staff of ANTIPOPE prevost represents.
The TRUTH is that JESUS CHRIST was CRUCIFIED, DIED on the Cross, and was buried; the third day He rose from the dead.
JESUS CHRIST DID NOT RISE FROM THE DEAD upon the CROSS of His Crucifixion.
