The National Catholic Register (NCR) portal, mouthpiece of the conciliar sect, reports the death of Redemptorist presbyter Patricio Alfredo Sánchez Molinari, parish administrator of the Perpetuo Socorro Church in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The 53-year-old functionary of the neo-church was struck by a crucifix detaching from the wall behind the altar during a Novus Ordo service on October 17, 2026. The structures occupying the Vatican, through their local representative “Cardinal” Luis Cabrera, and the Redemptorist order, immediately canonized the deceased in the press, declaring he had “departed for the Father’s House to enjoy His presence and His glory.” Lay commentators echoed this presumptuous certainty of salvation, one even blasphemously comparing the accident to the Sacrifice of Calvary. This spectacle of sentimental canonization exposes the total loss of the sensus catholicus regarding death, judgment, and the propitiatory nature of the True Mass.
The Theatrics of a False Liturgy and a False Priesthood
The article centers on a “Mass” celebrated in the Novus Ordo Missae, the fabricated liturgy of Paul VI (Montini), which replaced the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary with a Protestantized memorial meal. The victim, Sánchez Molinari, was a “priest” of the Redemptorists, an order long since corrupted by Modernism and integrated into the paramasonic structure of the conciliar sect. His ordination, post-1968, falls under the invalidated sacramental form and intention introduced by the antipope Paul VI, rendering his priesthood doubtful at best, null at worst. He was not offering the Holy Sacrifice; he was presiding over a community assembly. The falling crucifix—a symbol of the True Sacrifice abandoned by the conciliar revolution—striking the celebrant of the false rite is a terrifying signum contra, a divine rebuke ignored by the blind guides of the neo-church.
Presumption as Pastoral Policy: The Sin Against the Holy Ghost
The most damning aspect of this report is the unanimous, instant declaration of the deceased’s beatitude. “Cardinal” Luis Cabrera states the priest “has departed for the Father’s House to enjoy His presence and His glory.” The Salesians are “certain that he is already enjoying the presence of God.” Laywoman María Augusta Guzmanberrezueta proclaims: “Proclaiming Jesus Christ, God calls him into His presence.” This is the heresy of presumption (praesumptio), a sin against the Holy Ghost (Matt 12:31), elevated to the level of official “pastoral” doctrine.
“We are certain that he is already enjoying the presence of God.”
The Council of Trent anathematizes those who say a man can have absolute certainty of salvation without special revelation (Session VI, Canon 15). St. Alphonsus Liguori, founder of the Redemptorists—whom these modernists betray—warns incessantly in Preparation for Death that “the greater number of Christians are lost” and that even the just tremble at the hour of death. The conciliar sect has replaced the timor Domini (fear of the Lord) with a saccharine universalism. They have abolished Purgatory in practice, denied the Particular Judgment, and turned the funeral into a “celebration of life.” Lex orandi, lex credendi (the law of praying is the law of believing): their liturgy of “Resurrection” without Cross proves their faith is not Catholic.
Blasphemous Typology: Equating an Accident with the Redemption
The comment by Carlos Alberto Pastrello reaches the apex of theological insanity: “For a priest, it is an honor to depart from this world to the Father’s house while celebrating Holy Mass; it is a true reflection of Jesus, who died on the cross.”
“For a priest, it is an honor to depart from this world to the Father’s house while celebrating Holy Mass; it is a true reflection of Jesus, who died on the cross.”
This is idolatry of the creature. The death of a man—struck by a falling object due to structural negligence—is equated with the Sacrificium Redemptionis, the voluntary oblation of the God-Man for the sins of the world. Christ laid down His life (pono animam meam, John 10:18); this presbyter had his life taken by a crucifix he likely failed to venerate with the rubrical precision of the True Rite. The Crucifix fell upon the New Mass; it did not fall for the salvation of souls. To call this a “reflection of Jesus” is to mock the Hypostatic Union and the very definition of the Priesthood (Sacerdos alter Christus).
Naturalistic Anthropocentrism: The “Pastoral” Substitute for Grace
The tributes focus exclusively on horizontal metrics: “closeness,” “pastoral dedication,” “accompaniment,” “legacy and memory.” The Salesians thank God for the “good received through Father Patricio… with closeness, love, and pastoral dedication.” Not a word on the character indelebilis of the priesthood, the gratia sacramentalis, the missa pro vivis et defunctis, the remission of sins, or the intercession for the Poor Souls. The conciliar “priest” is a social worker, a therapist, a community organizer. His “Mass” is a meeting. His death is a workplace accident. The supernatural order has been utterly evacuated. 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.” Here, Christ the King is removed from the sanctuary, replaced by a “presider” crushed by the very symbol of the Kingship he refused to uphold in the Traditional Rite.
The Crucifix as Accuser: Signum Magnum Ignored
A crucifix “mounted on the wall behind the altar” falls. In the Vetus Ordo, the Crucifix is central, elevated, the focal point of the Canon, before which the priest bows profoundly at the Et incarnatus est and the Supplices te rogamus. In the Novus Ordo, it is often a “resurrection cross” or a mere decoration on a side wall, the altar turned versus populum. The physical detachment of this sign from the wall during the pseudo-sacrifice is a signum magnum (great sign). It signifies the rejection of the Cross by the conciliar liturgy. The neo-church interprets the crushing of its minister by the Cross as a “blessing.” They call evil good, and good evil (Isa 5:20). The comment by Mari Pérez—”we must look into what caused this accident — there needs to be greater care taken when positioning religious images”—reduces a potential divine warning to a health-and-safety compliance issue. Sursum corda has become sursum securitas.
Systemic Apostasy: The Redemptorists and the “Cardinal”
The Redemptorist order, once the bulwark of moral theology and Marian devotion under St. Alphonsus, is now a vehicle for the “Church of the New Advent.” Their statement joins “in prayer for the eternal rest of his soul” while simultaneously asserting he is in “glory”—a contradiction revealing their functional disbelief in Purgatory. “Cardinal” Luis Cabrera, appointed by the usurper Bergoglio and retained by the current antipope Leo XIV (Prevost), signs a communiqué that reads like a press release for a deceased NGO director. No mention of Requiem aeternam, no Dies Irae, no Libera me, Domine. Only the bureaucratic language of the “abomination of desolation” (Matt 24:15) occupying the Vatican structures.
Conclusion: The Wages of the New Mass
This tragedy is the bitter fruit of the liturgical revolution. A man, likely invalidly ordained, simulating the Sacrifice in a rite that denies its propitiatory nature, under a Crucifix relegated to the periphery, is struck down. The conciliar sect, devoid of the sensus fidei, transforms a chastisement into a beatification. They have eyes but see not; ears but hear not (Ps 113:5-6). The faithful remnant, adhering to the Missale Romanum of St. Pius V, recognizes in this event not a “holy death,” but a terrifying warning: Qui non est mecum, contra me est (He that is not with me, is against me – Matt 12:30). The Novus Ordo is not the Mass of the Catholic Church; it is the table of demons (1 Cor 10:21), and those who serve it serve not Christ, but the prince of this world.
