Conciliar Sect’s Fraudulent Beatifications Expose Apostate Agenda
VaticanNews portal (December 18, 2025) reports the antipope Leo XIV’s authorization of beatifications for eleven Spaniards killed during the 1936-1937 persecutions and Argentinian businessman Enrique Ernesto Shaw (d. 1962). Three others – Italian religious Fra Berardo Atonna (d. 1917) and Sister Domenica Caterina dello Spirito Santo (d. 1908), along with Indian priest Joseph Panjikaran (d. 1949) – received “venerable” status. This theatrical exercise in pseudo-hagiography constitutes blasphemous parody of true canonization procedures, designed to fabricate legitimacy for the conciliar sect’s anti-dogmatic revolution.
Martyrdom Reduced to Political Narrative
The portal describes the Spanish victims as murdered “out of hatred for the faith” during the “anti-Catholic climate” of the Civil War. Yet the conciliar sect deliberately obscures the sine qua non of martyrdom defined by Pope Benedict XIV in De Servorum Dei Beatificatione: “Martyr is one who dies by the hands of infidels out of hatred for the faith or some Christian virtue connected with the faith” (Book III, Ch. 11). The modernist apparatus substitutes this objective standard with subjective “reputation for martyrdom” based on “extensive documentation” – precisely the historical-critical method condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (1907) as reducing dogma to “interpretation of religious facts” (Prop. 22).
More damningly, these “beatifications” omit any examination of the victims’ doctrinal adherence – tacit endorsement of the Spanish hierarchy’s collaboration with liberal constitutionalism condemned by Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos (1832): “This shameful font of indifferentism gives rise to that absurd and erroneous proposition which claims that liberty of conscience must be maintained for everyone.” True martyrs die for Catholic integralism, not constitutional pluralism.
Businessman Beatification: Cult of Earthly Activism
Enrique Shaw’s proposed “beatification” epitomizes the conciliar sect’s naturalistic perversion of holiness. His credentials include naval catechesis, implementing “Church social doctrine” in business, and leadership in the Christian Family Movement – all post-1958 organizations steeped in modernist errors. Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925) explicitly condemned such humanitarian reductionism:
“When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony… If princes and magistrates duly elected are filled with the persuasion that they rule, not by their own right, but by the mandate and in the place of the Divine King.”
Shaw’s alleged miracle – a 2015 head injury recovery – lacks credibility when examined through the lens of Benedict XIV’s rigorous criteria requiring instantaneousness and diagnostic certainty. The portal’s vague description (“ventricular system returned to normal”) suggests natural remission, not supernatural intervention.
Veneration of Dubious Figures
The elevation of Fra Berardo Atonna reveals the conciliar sect’s systematic dismantling of spiritual rigor. His associations with Maria Cristina Brando (canonized by Wojtyła in 2015) and Bartolo Longo (beatified by Paul VI in 1971) – both modernists who promoted false ecumenism – invalidate any claims to heroic virtue. As Pius X warned in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907):
“The Modernist apologist depends on his experience. The Catholic apologist depends solely on authority… Thus is justified the conciliation between faith and science dear to Modernists.”
Sister Domenica Caterina’s “heroic virtue” centers on social work rather than doctrinal fortitude – the very “cult of man” denounced in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (Prop. 64: “Civil progress requires suppression of religious orders”). Joseph Panjikaran’s hospital-building similarly reduces sanctity to humanitarian activism, contradicting St. Thomas Aquinas’ definition of charity as “the friendship of man for God” (ST II-II, q.24, a.2).
Omissions That Condemn
Nowhere does the portal mention these candidates’ fidelity to:
1. The Oath Against Modernism (1910)
2. Pre-conciliar Eucharistic discipline (fasting communion, kneeling reception)
3. Condemnation of religious liberty (Quas Primas, Syllabus Prop. 77-79)
This silence confirms the conciliar sect’s complete rupture from Tradition. As St. Vincent of Lérins taught in Commonitorium: “We must hold what has been believed everywhere, always, and by all.” When “popes” canonize activists instead of dogmatic warriors, they prove themselves imposters.
