The VaticanNews portal (February 4, 2026) reports on the Diocese of Dipolog’s commemoration of Francesco Palliola, a 17th-century Neapolitan Jesuit killed in Mindanao. The article celebrates “positive developments” in his canonization process under the current Vatican regime, noting that five of six historians approved the Positio Historica for his cause. Bishop Severo Caermare presided over a Mass attended by Jesuit clergy and local conciliar sect members, with claims of Palliola dying “motivated by hatred of the faith.” This theatrical display exemplifies the post-conciliar sect’s systematic destruction of authentic hagiography through naturalistic historiography and invalid sacramental gestures.
Illegitimate Canonization by Usurpers
The so-called “Dicastery for the Causes of Saints” operates under inherently null authority, as Pius XII’s death in 1958 ended the legitimate Roman pontificate. When the article states “the College of Historians of the Dicastery…completed its evaluation,” it commits the non sequitur fallacy of presuming jurisdiction where none exists. Canonizations require papal infallibility (De Fide, Vatican I), which the antipopes from Roncalli onward lack due to their public heresies. St. Robert Bellarmine’s De Romano Pontifice proves that manifest heretics cannot hold ecclesiastical office: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope…he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian” (II:30). The six historians voting on Palliola’s case engage in a grotesque parody – as if Satanists adjudicated Marian apparitions.
Theological Subversion of Martyrdom
The article’s claim that Palliola was killed “motivated by hatred of the faith” ignores the sine qua non conditions for martyrdom established by Benedict XIV in De Servorum Dei Beatificatione:
True martyrs must die explicite propter fidem (explicitly for the faith), with their executioners manifesting hatred specifically against Catholic doctrine.
Yet the portal admits Palliola was murdered by “Tampilo, a local indigenous leader and former convert who had abandoned the faith” – indicating personal grievance rather than odium fidei. This aligns with Modernist tendencies to dilute martyrdom into generic “heroism,” as condemned in Pius XI’s Miserentissimus Redemptor: “They pervert the sacred idea of martyrdom, making all manner of men martyrs who died for any cause whatsoever.” The conciliar sect’s canonization factory follows this pattern, canonizing Freemasons (John XXIII) and heretics (Paul VI) while fabricating martyrdoms to legitimize its apostasy.
Naturalistic Reduction of Missionary Work
Throughout the article, Palliola’s work is reduced to humanistic activism: “preaching, catechesis, and strengthening the faith of local communities.” This omits the supernatural purpose of missionary labor – the salvation of souls through sacramental grace. Pius XII’s Evangelii Praecones condemns such naturalism: “The Church’s missionaries are sent not to propagate civilization…but that all men may know the true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent.” The Diocese of Dipolog compounds this error by promoting pilgrimages to Palliola’s grave where people “seek his intercession” – a sacrilege when directed toward someone not canonized by the true Church.
The portal’s reference to “oral tradition preserved among the Subanen people” constitutes theological vandalism, equaling pagan folklore with Apostolic Tradition. As the Syllabus of Errors condemns: “Divine revelation is imperfect, and therefore subject to a continual and indefinite progress” (Proposition 5). True Tradition resides solely in the Ecclesia Docens (Teaching Church), not ethnic customs.
Omission of Sacramental Realities
Nowhere does the article mention whether Palliola offered the true Sacrifice of the Mass or administered valid sacraments – the only metrics of authentic missionary success. Instead, it celebrates bureaucratic processes: “The diocese began compiling documents…in 2017. The case was forwarded to the Vatican and declared valid the following year.” This administrative fetish exposes the conciliar sect’s essence: a humanitarian NGO masquerading as a church. Pius XI’s Quas Primas rebukes such secularization: “When God and Jesus Christ are removed from laws and states…the foundations of authority are destroyed, and human society is shaken” (§18).
The anniversary Mass itself constitutes sacrilege, as Jesuit celebrants – members of the heretical order suppressed by Clement XIV – use the invalid Novus Ordo rite. St. Pius V’s Quo Primum declares: “It shall be unlawful henceforth and forever to celebrate Mass according to any formula other than this Missal.” By employing vernacular rituals and invalid matter (likely unconsecrated bread), the Dipolog commemoration mocks Palliola’s alleged sacrifice.
This spectacle of pseudo-canonization serves the conciliar sect’s broader agenda: replacing the Militant Church with a globalist syncretism. As faithful Catholics, we reject this blasphemous theater and cling to the Ecclesia Immaculata – the true Church enduring in catacombs, free from the Vatican’s occupiers. Only when Christ the King crushes this counterfeit church (Ps 2:9) will authentic martyrs again be rightly honored.
