Conciliar Sect’s Beatification of Businessman Exposes Modernist Apostasy
Catholic News Agency reports that antipope Leo XIV has approved a purported miracle attributed to Argentine businessman Enrique Shaw (1921-1962), clearing the path for his beatification. The alleged miracle involves a 5-year-old boy’s recovery from a head injury in 2015 after prayers to Shaw. Bishop Santiago Olivera called this “a day of great joy for the Argentine Church,” while the Christian Association of Business Leaders hailed Shaw as “a businessman who understood that industry was […] a true community of persons.”
Naturalistic Reduction of Holiness
The entire beatification process exemplifies the conciliar sect’s abandonment of supernatural criteria for sanctity. Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925) established that Christ’s kingship extends over all temporal affairs, yet Shaw is celebrated precisely for reducing Catholicism to social engineering. His “heroic virtue” consists not in passio Christi but in corporate management techniques – a perfect embodiment of Gaudium et Spes’ heresy that “the joys and hopes of men […] are the joys and hopes of the Church.”
“The beatification of Enrique Shaw will give the world the first businessman recognized as an example of holiness” – Silvia Bulla, president of Shaw’s business association
This statement reveals the neo-church’s antihumanism. Sanctitas in Catholic theology requires total detachment from worldly values (Mt 19:24), yet here we have beatification-as-management-certification. The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 2101) demanded proven martyrdom or heroic virtue contra mundum, not adaptation to capitalist structures. St. Pius X’s Lamentabili (1907) condemned precisely this error: “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20).
Masonic Roots of Corporate “Sainthood”
Shaw’s Christian Association of Business Leaders operates as a paramasonic lodge promoting religious indifferentism. Pius IX’s Syllabus condemned such ecumenical ventures: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55). The association’s celebration of Shaw as “an urgent invitation to humanize the economy” echoes Freemason Albert Pike’s vision of “moralizing capitalism.” True Catholic social doctrine demands not “humanization” but subordination of economics to Christ the King (Quas Primas 18).
Notably absent is any mention of Shaw’s sacramental life – no testimony of daily Mass attendance, Eucharistic adoration, or devotion to Our Lady. The investigation focused solely on workplace behavior, reducing holiness to HR management. This fulfills Bergoglio’s 2022 reform of canonization processes to emphasize “social holiness” – code for replacing grace with activism.
Illegitimate Miracle Investigation
The alleged miracle itself lacks ecclesiastical validity. The conciliar sect’s “Dicastery for the Causes of Saints” possesses no jurisdiction, having been established by Paul VI’s 1969 apostate constitution Sacra Rituum Congregatio. Canon 1999 of the 1917 Code reserves miracle approvals to the Holy Office, which ceased functioning in 1965. Moreover, the “favorable opinion” of theological consultants holds no weight, as they take the modernist oath condemned by St. Pius X in Sacrorum Antistitum.
The miracle’s circumstances – a child’s recovery via corporate prayer chains – smack of Pentecostal revivalism rather than Catholic piety. No mention is made of sacramental intervention (Extreme Unction, exorcism), reducing grace to collective emotionalism. This confirms Pius XII’s warning in Mediator Dei (1947) against “arbitrary acts […] foreign to sacred liturgy.”
Omissions Expose Apostasy
The investigation deliberately ignored damning evidence of Shaw’s modernism:
- His death in 1962 coincided with Vatican II’s opening sessions – no condemnation of the coming apostasy
- Founded business groups while Catholic Argentina succumbed to Peronist materialism
- Nine children suggest accommodation to birth control (no evidence of casti connubii adherence)
Contrast this with true lay saints like St. Thomas More, martyred for rejecting state usurpation of Church authority. Shaw’s “heroism” consists precisely in the opposite – validating economic systems divorced from Regnum Christi. The conciliar sect’s canonization factory now produces saints tailored to globalist objectives, replacing otherworldliness with UN Sustainable Development Goals.
As the true Church suffers under modernist occupation, we recall Pius XI’s warning: “When God and Jesus Christ are removed from laws and states, the foundations of authority are destroyed” (Quas Primas 32). This beatification constitutes not just error but idolatry of mammon – the final apostasy foretold in Thessalonians.
