Centenary of a Post-Conciliar Saint: The Rogationist Charism and the Subversion of Vocations
VaticanNews portal reports on the inauguration of centenary celebrations for St. Hannibal Mary Di Francia, featuring a “Solemn Eucharistic Celebration” presided over by Cardinal Baldassare Reina at the Parish of Saints Anthony and Hannibal Mary in Rome. The article describes the saint’s founding of the Rogationists and the Daughters of Divine Zeal, his dedication to the poor and abandoned children, and his promotion of prayer for vocations under the motto “Rogate.” It highlights the presence of the saint’s “incorrupt heart” in the parish and the planned events, including a concert by the Italian Financial Police Band. The article presents the centenary as a “privileged opportunity” to renew appreciation for the saint’s “spiritual legacy” and his “charism” that “continues to enrich the life of the Church.” This celebration, orchestrated by the conciliar sect, exemplifies the systematic co-option of pre-conciliar figures to legitimize the post-conciliar revolution and its distorted theology of vocations.
