Antichurch Advances Sheen’s Counterfeit Canonization with Dubious Miracles
The National Catholic Register portal reports that the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Foundation is investigating six new purported miracles attributed to the intercession of the deceased conciliar prelate, including an alleged “instantaneous” cure of Stage 4 cancer and the healing of a newborn with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. The announcement was made by the Foundation’s executive director, “Msgr.” Jason Gray, alongside Bonnie Engstrom, mother of the child whose supposed healing served as the basis for Sheen’s beatification by the antipope Francis in 2019. The beatification Mass, presided over by “Cardinal” Luis Antonio Tagle as representative of the current usurper “Pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), is broadcast by the neo-conservative outlet EWTN. The article frames the rigorous Vatican investigation as a source of reassurance for the faithful, highlighting the “thoroughness” of the modernist dicasteries. This spectacle exposes the paramasonic structure’s manufacturing of counterfeit sanctity to bolster its crumbling legitimacy and advance the cult of man.
The Nullity of Post-Conciliar Beatifications and Canonizations
The entire edifice of this report rests upon the radically false premise that the claimants to the papal throne since 1958 possess any authority to beatify or canonize. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches, a manifest heretic ipso facto loses the papacy and all jurisdiction (De Romano Pontifice, lib. 2, cap. 30). The line of usurpers beginning with John XXIII, continuing through Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, Francis, and now Leo XIV, has publicly professed the heresies of Modernism condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis and Lamentabili Sane Exitu — religious liberty, false ecumenism, collegiality, the new ecclesiology. By the very fact of their manifest heresy, they are not popes; they are antipopes. Consequently, their “beatifications” and “canonizations” are null, void, and of no effect (Cum ex Apostolatus Officio, Pope Paul IV). The “canonization” of a Modernist media personality like Sheen by a Modernist antipope is not an exercise of the Keys, but a theatrical production of the abomination of desolation occupying the Vatican.
Fulton Sheen: A Man of the Revolution, Not of Tradition
Archbishop Sheen, darling of the mid-century American establishment, was a primary architect of the conciliar revolution. His television program “Life is Worth Living” served as a softening agent for the novelties of the Second Vatican Council, presenting a sentimentalized, anthropocentric Christianity perfectly aligned with the hermeneutic of rupture. He embraced the “aggiornamento,” the liturgical reform, and the opening to the world. He did not resist the demolition of the Mass; he facilitated its acceptance. To propose him as a model of sanctity is to canonize the spirit of the Council itself. The “miracle” used for his beatification — the resuscitation of James Fulton Engstrom after 61 minutes without a heartbeat — was investigated and approved by the Congregation for the Causes of Saints under the authority of Bergoglio. A judgment rendered by a heretical dicastery under a heretical “pope” carries zero theological weight. It is human testimony, not divine certification.
The Naturalistic Reduction of the Miraculous
The language of the article reveals the naturalistic mentality regnant in the conciliar sect. “Msgr.” Gray speaks of “candidates” for miracles, “investigating,” “gathering documentation,” leaving it “in the hands of the Holy See” — bureaucratic language suited for a government agency, not the Church Militant. The mother, Bonnie Engstrom, expresses reassurance not in God’s power, but in the thoroughness of the Vatican’s investigation: “when the Catholic Church says something is a miracle, it is a miracle.” This is idolatry of the institution, a substitution of ecclesiastical bureaucracy for the sensus fidei and the authority of God. True miracles are not “confirmed” by committees of doctors and theologians appointed by Modernists; they are recognized by the faithful through the light of faith and the authority of a true Pope. The focus on “Stage 4 cancer” and “hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy” reduces the supernatural to medical anomaly, stripping the event of its theological finality: the glory of God and the confirmation of Catholic truth. As Pius XI declared in Quas Primas, “Peace is only possible in the kingdom of Christ“; miracles confirm that Kingdom, not the career of a conciliar functionary.
The Cult of Man and the “Saints” of the New Advent
This process is the quintessential expression of the cult of man denounced by the Syllabus of Errors (Prop. 77, 79, 80). The conciliar sect creates “saints” to validate its own revolution. Sheen, John Paul II, John XXIII, Paul VI, Mother Teresa, Oscar Romero — these are the patron saints of the New Advent, each chosen to ratify a specific conciliar novelty: media evangelization, religious liberty, collegiality, liturgical reform, humanitarianism, liberation theology. The “Ulma family” (unbaptized infant included) and the “martyr” Kolbe (who died for a fellow prisoner, not in odium fidei) follow the same pattern. Sheen is the “saint” of the Americanist synthesis — the baptism of the secular media culture. The “instantaneous cancer cure” is the latest special effect in this ongoing production. As the Syllabus condemns: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Prop. 80) — and the fabrication of saints is the liturgical ratification of that reconciliation.
EWTN and the Neo-Conservative Complicity
The article notes the Mass “can be viewed live on EWTN.” This network, founded by the conciliar “nun” Mother Angelica, has been the primary propaganda arm of the counterfeit church in the Anglosphere. It legitimizes the usurpers, promotes the Novus Ordo Missae (while offering the “Traditional Latin Mass” as a mere “form” to placate the remnant), and now broadcasts the beatification of a Modernist hero. The “Cardinal” Tagle, prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization, representing the antipope Leo XIV, completes the tableau of the paramasonic structure celebrating its own idol. The faithful watching on EWTN are not witnessing the triumph of grace; they are consuming a sacramental simulation, a theatrum mundi designed to anchor their souls in the neo-church.
The Theological Impossibility of “Post-Beatification” Miracles
The article states: “Any purported miracle attributed to Sheen’s intercession since Pope Francis announced his beatification in July 2019 can count toward his eventual canonization.” This reveals the positive-law mentality that has replaced divine law. In the true Church, miracles attest to the sanctity of one already reigning with Christ; they are not “collected” like coupons to meet a juridical quota established by a modernist legislator. The very concept of a “second miracle for canonization” is a medieval canonical development, not a divine mandate, and it presupposes a legitimate legislator. Under a usurper antipope, the canonical process is a fiction. The “Holy See” referenced by “Msgr.” Gray is the synagogue of Satan (Apoc. 2:9) — the Roman Curia transformed into an engine of apostasy. To submit “documentation” to it is to seek validation from the enemy.
Conclusion: Return to the One True Fold
This news item is not a report of grace; it is a bulletin from the counter-church. It demonstrates the relentless effort of the Church of the New Advent to manufacture a pantheon of false saints to replace the true calendar of the Church. Fulton Sheen, a man of the Council, a man of the media, a man of the revolution, is being elevated to the altars of the abomination of desolation. No “instantaneous” healing, no medical dossier, no decree from the Vatican dicasteries can make this true. Non possumus. The true Church, the Ecclesia militans persevering in the catacombs of Tradition, under bishops validly ordained in the old rite and priests faithful to the immutable Mass of Trent, recognizes none of this. She awaits the restoration of the Social Kingship of Christ (Pius XI, Quas Primas) and the judgment of the true Vicar of Christ. Until then, every “beatification,” every “canonization,” every “miracle approval” from the Vatican is null and void — a lie dressed in purple and scarlet.
