The National Catholic Register portal reports on the upcoming simulated beatification of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, scheduled for September 24, 2026, in St. Louis under the auspices of the usurper antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost). The article details the sale of over 40,000 tickets for a ceremony at The Dome at America’s Center, a secular stadium, with extensive media coverage by the conciliar network EWTN, participation by false prelates such as “Cardinal” Luis Tagle and “Bishop” Robert Barron, and a week of events culminating in a “Sheen Awards Gala” modeled on the Emmy and Oscar ceremonies. This orchestrated spectacle exposes the complete substitution of supernatural sanctity by worldly celebrity and media manipulation.
The Nullity of Any Act Emanating from the Usurping See
The very premise of this “beatification” is canonically and theologically null. As Pope Paul IV defined in Cum ex Apostolatus Officio, any promotion or elevation of a heretic to the papacy is “null, void, and of no effect.” The line of claimants to the Holy See since John XXIII has publicly adhered to the heresies of Vatican II — religious liberty, false ecumenism, collegiality, and the new ecclesiology — thereby incurring the automatic loss of office ipso facto according to the teaching of St. Robert Bellarmine: “A manifest heretic… by that very fact ceases to be Pope and head, just as he ceases to be a Christian and member of the body of the Church.” Consequently, Leo XIV possesses no authority to beatify, canonize, or govern. The ceremony in St. Louis is not an act of the Church’s infallible magisterium but a theatrical production of the conciliar sect occupying the Vatican.
Fulton Sheen: Architect of the Conciliar Revolution
The article boasts of Sheen’s “scholarly prowess to the Second Vatican Council.” This admission alone condemns him. Vatican II was a robber council that promulgated heretical documents such as Dignitatis Humanae (religious liberty), Unitatis Redintegratio (false ecumenism), and Gaudium et Spes (worldly accommodation). By participating as a Council Father, Sheen lent his considerable influence to the destruction of the Church’s social kingship so eloquently defended by Pius XI in Quas Primas: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” Sheen’s collaboration with the conciliar revolution makes him complicit in the abomination of desolation now enthroned in Rome.
Worldly Honors as the Criterion of “Sanctity”
The Register highlights Sheen’s Emmy Award, his 30 million viewers, and his fundraising prowess — purely naturalistic metrics utterly alien to the sanctitas of the Church. The Syllabus of Errors condemns the proposition that “the civil liberty of every form of worship… conduce more easily to corrupt the morals and minds of the people” (Error 79). Here, the conciliar sect inverts the order: worldly acclaim becomes the de facto prerequisite for beatification. The “Sheen Awards Gala,” explicitly modeled on the Emmys and Oscars, completes this idolatrous farce, transforming the communion of saints into a celebrity hall of fame. As Pius XI warned, “the main reason why some have the right to command and others have the duty to obey was removed” when authority is derived from men, not God.
The Stadium “Mass”: Profanation of the Holy Sacrifice
The beatification “Mass” will take place in The Dome at America’s Center, a sports stadium, celebrated by the invalidly ordained “Cardinal” Tagle using the Novus Ordo Missae — a rite fabricated by the freemason Bugnini to express a Protestantized theology of the “Lord’s Supper” rather than the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary. St. Pius X condemned the modernist error that “the sacraments merely serve to remind man of the presence of the ever-benevolent Creator” (Lamentabili, prop. 41). The Novus Ordo, celebrated by ministers lacking valid orders (the 1968 ordinal being defective in form and intention), produces no sacrifice, no Real Presence, and no grace. The “Eucharistic adoration” and “confessions” advertised are sacrilegious simulations, deceiving the faithful into idolatry.
Relics and Rosaries in the Service of the False Church
The distribution of 75,000 “World Mission Rosaries” and the exposition of a “relic” for veneration are pious frauds. Relics derive their efficacy from the sanctity of the saint, which is confirmed only by a true pope exercising the keys. Since the See of Peter has been vacant since 1958 (or at latest 1963), no canonical beatification or canonization has occurred. The veneration of Sheen’s remains under the authority of the conciliar sect constitutes unauthorized cult — a violation of the First Commandment and the Church’s immemorial discipline. The Byzantine Rite “Mass” concluding the events, though venerable in form, is celebrated by the schismatic “Bishop” Tylka of Peoria, rendering it a liturgical theater devoid of sacramental reality.
The Media Apparatus as the New “Magisterium”
EWTN’s live broadcast, the Register’s “extensive coverage,” and the “Celebrate Sheen” show with “Catholic musician Matt Maher” reveal the true nature of this enterprise: a media event masquerading as a religious ceremony. The article reads like a press release for a concert tour. St. Pius X condemned the modernist proposition that “the Church listening cooperates… that the Church teaching should only approve the common opinions of the Church listening” (Lamentabili, prop. 6). Here, the “Church listening” — the media-consuming laity — is sovereign; the “teaching” is reduced to marketing. The “pilgrimage” from Peoria to St. Louis and back is a commercial itinerary, not a spiritual journey.
Silence on the Supernatural: The Gravest Accusation
Nowhere does the article mention the state of grace, mortification, detachment from the world, heroic virtue, or the four last things. The entire narrative is horizontal, anthropocentric, and immanentist. This is the cult of man condemned by Pius XI: “secularism… its errors and wicked endeavors… began with the denial of Christ the Lord’s reign over all nations.” Sheen’s “Life Is Worth Living” — the title itself betrays a naturalistic humanism — replaced the Cross with self-actualization. The beatification of such a figure by the conciliar sect is not an error but a logical necessity: the false church canonizes its own architects.
Conclusion: Non Possumus
No Catholic may attend, promote, or recognize this simulated beatification. To do so is to acknowledge the usurper’s authority, validate the Novus Ordo, and participate in the great apostasy foretold by St. Paul (2 Thess 2:3). The true Church, Ecclesia militans, endures in the catacombs — in the faithful who keep the integral Catholic faith, the traditional Mass, and the sedevacantist position that the See of Peter is vacant. Lex orandi, lex credendi: the law of prayer is the law of belief. The prayer of the conciliar sect is the Novus Ordo; its belief is Modernism. We cannot communicate in sacris with those who have destroyed the Faith. Non possumus.
