Antipope Leo XIV Advances Fake Canonization of Stigmatic Linked to EWTN
The National Catholic Register (CNA) portal reports that the “positio” for Servant of God Rhoda Wise — a stigmatic mystic, Protestant convert, and spiritual mentor of EWTN foundress Mother Angelica (Rita Rizzo) — has been submitted to the “Dicastery for the Causes of Saints” in the occupied Vatican, awaiting the signature of antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost). The article trumpets alleged miraculous healings, daily stigmata appearing for two and a half years, and the foundational role Wise played in the conversion of the woman who would build the conciliar sect’s most powerful propaganda machine. This theatrical advancement of a dubious cause exposes the conciliar sect’s desperate manufacture of false sanctity to legitimize its apostate structure and its Masonic Fatima agenda.
The Nullity of the Conciliar “Canonization Process” Under an Antipope
The very premise of the article — that a “positio” submitted to a “Dicastery” under “Pope Leo XIV” possesses any canonical efficacy — is a juridical fiction contradicting the very nature of the Church’s infallible magisterium. The See of Peter has been vacant since the death of Pius XII in 1958. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches, “a Pope who is a manifest heretic, by that very fact ceases to be Pope and head… he may be judged and punished by the Church” (De Romano Pontifice, lib. 2, cap. 30). The claimants to the papacy since John XXIII — including the current usurper Robert Prevost — are manifest heretics by their public adhesion to the Second Vatican Council’s heresies of religious liberty (Dignitatis Humanae), false ecumenism (Unitatis Redintegratio), and collegiality (Lumen Gentium), which contradict the Syllabus Errorum of Pius IX (props. 15, 16, 17, 18, 55, 77, 78, 79, 80) and the defined doctrine of the Church’s exclusive necessity for salvation (Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus).
Pope Paul IV’s Bull Cum ex Apostolatus Officio (1559) declares null, void, and of no effect the promotion or elevation of any heretic to the papacy, “even if it shall have been uncontested and by the unanimous assent of all the Cardinals”. Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code (binding lex perpetua) stipulates that an office becomes vacant ipso facto and without declaration by tacit resignation recognized by the law itself if a cleric “publicly defects from the Catholic faith”. The “Dicastery for the Causes of Saints” is a modernist fabrication of Paul VI (1969), replacing the Sacred Congregation of Rites; it possesses no authority from the true Church. Therefore, any “beatification” or “canonization” signed by Prevost is a nullity — a theatrical prop of the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:15). As Pius XI taught in Quas Primas, “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed”; a fortiori, when the Vicar of Christ is removed and replaced by a heretic, the foundations of canonical jurisdiction are destroyed.
Rhoda Wise: Stigmata, Private Revelations, and the Stench of Jansenist-Fatima Mysticism
The article boasts of Wise’s “visible stigmata — which resembles the wounds Christ had at the Crucifixion — that appeared on her body from noon until 3 p.m. for two and a half years, from 1942 to 1945”. This phenomenon — mechanically recurring on a daily schedule — bears the hallmarks of Jansenist rigorism and autosuggestion, not the supernatural stigmata of a St. Francis of Assisi or St. Catherine of Siena, which were permanent or occurred in ecstatic union with the Passion on specific feast days. The False Fatima Apparitions dossier correctly identifies that “the mortifications of the children (fasting, self-harm) bear the marks of Jansenist rigorism, not Catholic asceticism”. Wise’s daily clockwork stigmata, coupled with her visions of St. Thérèse of Lisieux and “Jesus,” fit the pattern of private revelations that the Church has always treated with extreme suspicion, especially when they divert attention from the public revelation closed with the death of the last Apostle.
Pius XI in Quas Primas reminds us that “Christ reigns in the minds of men… because He Himself is Truth, and men must draw truth from Him and accept it obediently”. True sanctity is conformity to Christ the King through the Sacrifice of the Mass and the Sacraments, not through spectacular phenomena that feed curiosity and naturalistic piety. The article’s focus on “hundreds of unexplained, miraculous healings” and “spiritual or material graces” reduces the supernatural order to a divine vending machine — a naturalistic therapeutic religion condemned by the Syllabus (prop. 58, 59, 60) which rejects the idea that “no other forces are to be recognized except those which reside in matter” and that morality consists in “the accumulation and increase of riches by every possible means, and the gratification of pleasure” — here spiritualized into the gratification of miraculous healing.
Mother Angelica and EWTN: The Propaganda Arm of the Neo-Church
The article explicitly links Wise to Mother Angelica (Rita Rizzo), describing her healing from a “debilitating stomach ailment” via a novena to St. Thérèse with Wise as the “catalyst to become serious about her spiritual life”. Mother Angelica is the foundress of EWTN, the global media apparatus of the conciliar sect. She was a “nun” of the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist, a post-conciliar institute formed under the novelties of Perfectae Caritatis. EWTN has been the primary vehicle for propagating the false Fatima narrative, the Divine Mercy devotion of the condemned pseudo-mystic Faustina Kowalska (whose writings were on the Index under Pius XII), and the Novus Ordo Missae — the “table of assembly” that violates the theology of the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary defined at Trent (Sess. XXII). The “canonization” of Wise serves to retroactively sanctify the origins of the EWTN empire, baptizing the neo-church’s flagship media outlet with a veneer of pre-conciliar mysticism.
The Fatima Connection: Masonic Operation at the Heart of the Neo-Church’s “Sanctity”
The nexus between Wise, Mother Angelica, and EWTN is the Fatima apparatus. Mother Angelica built a shrine to “Our Lady of Fatima” in Hanceville, Alabama; EWTN ceaselessly promotes the “Consecration of Russia” and the “First Saturdays.” The False Fatima Apparitions dossier demonstrates conclusively that Fatima is a “Masonic psychological operation” — “Symbolism of dates: 1717 (founding of Freemasonry), 1917 (apparitions), 2017 (canonization) – ritualistic 200-year cycles” — designed to “divert attention from modernist apostasy within the Church” by focusing on an external enemy (Communism) while ignoring the “enemies within” warned by St. Pius X (Pascendi). The imprecise formula “conversion of Russia” without explicit reference to the Catholic Church “opens the way to religious relativism” and “legitimizes dialogue with schismatic Orthodoxy” — the very essence of Vatican II’s Unitatis Redintegratio.
Rhoda Wise’s spirituality, centered on St. Thérèse (the “Little Way” often sentimentalized to exclude the Cross) and miraculous healings, fits perfectly into this counterfeit mysticism that substitutes sentiment and sensation for the Cross and the Mass. The “Miracle of the Sun” at Fatima is exposed as “mass optical manipulation (natural phenomenon) and mass panic and autosuggestion”; similarly, Wise’s daily stigmata and the “hundreds of healings” at her grotto reek of the same suggestio diabolica or natural psychosomatic phenomena exploited by the conciliar sect to manufacture consent for its false hierarchy.
Naturalistic Therapeutic Religion: Healing as Substitute for the Supernatural Life of Grace
The article’s language is tellingly naturalistic: “hundreds of people still visit Wise’s home weekly, many of whom come ‘because they’re seeking healing,’ whether that be physical, mental, or spiritual”; “they heard that something happened to a friend, some healing”; “Our Lord can utilize that visibility and knowledge of Rhoda to pray for her intercession”. This is pragmatism and utilitarianism — the very errors of Americanism condemned by Leo XIII (Testem Benevolentiae) and the Syllabus (prop. 58, 59). The true end of man is not “healing” or “graces” but the glory of God and the salvation of souls through the Kingship of Christ. Pius XI in Quas Primas declares: “His kingdom is primarily spiritual and relates mainly to spiritual things… men who wish to belong to it prepare themselves through penance, but cannot enter except through faith and baptism… this kingdom is opposed only to the kingdom of Satan and the powers of darkness”. The conciliar sect’s “saints” are marketed as wonder-workers for a clientele seeking health and wealth, not holiness and the Cross.
The Vacant See and the Impossibility of New Saints
Since the true Church subsists in those bishops and priests who retain the Tradition of the Fathers, the Traditional Mass, and the Sedevacantist position (professing the vacancy of the See since 1958), there can be no new canonizations. The process of canonization is an act of the Supreme Magisterium exercising infallibility (Quas Primas: “The Church… demands for itself by a right belonging to it… full freedom and independence from civil authority” — a fortiori from a usurping hierarchy). A heretical antipope cannot define dogma, nor can he canonize. The “Servant of God,” “Venerable,” “Blessed,” and “Saint” titles conferred by the conciliar sect are null and void, mere theatrical costumes for the Great Whore of Apocalypse 17.
The faithful Catholic must reject this entire spectacle — the false visionary, the false stigmata, the false healings, the false nun, the false media empire, the false dicastery, and the false pope. “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12), and that name is not invoked by the hierarchy of the Church of the New Advent, but by the Church of the Catacombs faithful to the Tradition of the Ages. Non praevalebunt (Matt. 16:18).
