Conciliar Media Peddles Relic Sentimentalism While Obscuring the Supernatural Reality of Sanctity
The ACI Prensa portal, the Spanish-language mouthpiece of the EWTN media empire — itself a flagship of the conciliar sect — publishes a feature on the preservation of the skull of St. Rose of Lima, the first canonized saint of the Americas. The article, authored by Walter Sánchez Silva, reads like a travelogue for pious tourists, detailing the location of the relic in the Basilica of the Most Holy Rosary at St. Dominic Convent in Lima, the silver crown replacing a stolen gold one, an embroidered tablecloth, and a plaque marking the spot of her mystical betrothal. It quotes the conciliar “Dominican Friar” Luis Enrique Ramírez, rector of the basilica, who reduces the veneration of relics to a mechanism for “sharing in holiness,” “encouragement,” and striving “to live your life in a state of grace.” The piece concludes by presenting the saint as a “very contemporary example” of balancing work, “mystical prayer,” and “social work in the service of the needy” within the “spirit of our Dominican charism.” This is not Catholic hagiography; it is naturalistic anthropology dressed in sacramental vestments, served up by a media apparatus that legitimizes the usurpers occupying the Vatican.
