The Canonization of Martin de Porres: A Conciliar Fabrication Against Catholic Tradition
The Canonization of Martin de Porres: A Conciliar Fabrication Against Catholic Tradition
The Catholic News Agency article dated November 3, 2025, promotes the cult of Martin de Porres as “the first Black saint of the Americas,” canonized by “Pope” John XXIII in 1962. It highlights his mixed-race heritage, medical work, alleged levitation and bilocation, vegetarianism, and patronage of menial laborers. The narrative employs racial identity politics and uncritically accepts post-conciliar canonizations as valid.
Illegitimacy of Post-1958 Canonizations
The article’s central fraud lies in presenting the 1962 canonization as legitimate. John XXIII – architect of the Vatican II revolution – lacked papal authority according to the infallible teaching of Pope Paul IV’s Cum ex Apostolatus Officio (1559), which declares that “if anyone… prior to his promotion… had deviated from the Catholic Faith… his promotion is null, void and worthless”. As a known modernist who prepared the destruction of the Mass and doctrine, John XXIII’s acts possess no validity. The so-called “canonization” of Martin de Porres constitutes not an exercise of papal infallibility but a theatrical propaganda piece for the conciliar agenda.
Naturalistic Reduction of Holiness
The article reduces sanctity to social activism and ethnic identity, stating de Porres “established an orphanage” and became “the first Black saint of the Americas.” This echoes the conciliar heresy of horizontalism, condemned by Pius XI in Quas Primas (1925): “When once men recognize… that Christ has been given all power… it will be understood that the Church… must not be subservient to anyone”. True holiness consists in supernatural charity, not humanitarian works. The emphasis on de Porres’ race advances the neo-modernist heresy that “the truth changes with man” (Lamentabili, 1907, Proposition 58).
Dubious Miracles and Occult Phenomena
The article promotes claims of “levitation” and “bilocation” without critical examination. Authentic Catholic mysticism requires rigorous discernment according to the norms of Benedict XIV’s De Servorum Dei Beatificatione (1734-1738), which warns that “preternatural phenomena may originate from diabolical deception.” The conciliar sect abandoned these safeguards, exemplified by its canonization of the false mystic “Padre Pio.” Martin de Porres’ alleged “compassion for rats” and refusal to eat meat suggest a disordered view of creation contrary to Genesis 9:3: “Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you.”
The Masonic Subversion of Patron Saints
Designating de Porres as “patron saint of barbers… and street cleaners” degrades the communion of saints into a vocational guild system. This reflects the Masonic plan exposed in the Syllabus of Errors (1864), which condemned the notion that “the Church ought to be separated from the State” (Proposition 55). True patron saints like St. Joseph the Worker sanctify labor through supernatural finality, not mere earthly utility. The article’s focus on “thankless tasks” ignores the primary duty of all Christians: the salvation of souls through adherence to immutable Truth.
The Conciliar Factory of Counterfeit Saints
Martin de Porres serves as a template for the neo-church’s manufactured saints – Maximilian Kolbe (“martyr” without persecutors), John Paul II (apostate), and Mother Teresa (syncretist). As Pius XII warned in Humani Generis (1950), modernists “falsify the sacred deposit of Truth… by venturing to reinterpret the Church’s doctrine as if it were a philosophical system.” The 300-year delay before de Porres’ “canonization” reveals its political nature: a conciliar invention to replace true saints like St. Peter Claver with racialized symbols.
