Catholic News Agency’s January 5, 2026 article extols John Neumann as model bishop while concealing how modernists exploit his memory to justify their destruction of Catholic education. The piece claims Neumann “organized the first Catholic education network” and was canonized by “Pope Paul VI” in 1977, presenting this conciliar “saint” as proof of continuity with true Catholicism. This whitewashed hagiography masks the radical discontinuity between Neumann’s work and the conciliar sect’s educational apostasy.
Invalid Canonization in the Conciliar Sect
The article’s reference to Neumann’s 1977 canonization by “Paul VI” exposes its fundamental deception. As Lamentabili Sane declares: “The Church listening cooperates in such a way with the Church teaching in defining truths of faith, that the Church teaching should only approve the common opinions of the Church listening” (Condemned Proposition 6). The post-1958 antipopes lack jurisdiction to canonize anyone, rendering all conciliar “saints” juridically null. Pius XII’s Munificentissimus Deus (1950) established that canonizations require the Church’s infallible judgment – impossible when her visible structures are occupied by modernists. Neumann may have been a true bishop, but his conciliar “canonization” serves only to legitimize the Vatican II revolution.
Catholic Education Betrayed
Neumann’s actual educational achievements stand condemned by the conciliar sect’s practices. The article celebrates how he “organized the diocesan system of Catholic schools,” but today’s conciliar schools teach precisely what Pius IX condemned in the Syllabus of Errors:
“Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true” (Condemned Proposition 15).
Whereas Neumann founded schools to combat Protestant errors, CNA’s parent organization EWTN promotes ecumenism – the heresy that “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Condemned Proposition 18). The conciliar schools Neumann’s memory supposedly justifies now implement the very religious indifferentism he spent his life fighting.
Redemptorist Crisis Concealed
The article’s glowing description of Neumann joining the Redemptorists omits their post-conciliar apostasy. When Neumann took vows in 1842, the order maintained Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi – the law of prayer as the law of belief. Today’s Redemptorists celebrate the Novus Ordo missae, which Pius V’s Quo Primum (1570) anathematizes as sacrilegious. The False Fatima Apparitions file reveals how modernist infiltration operates: “Stage 3 (1958-2000): Takeover of the narrative by modernists.” The Redemptorists exemplify this pattern – Neumann’s order now spreads heresy while exploiting his reputation.
Omission of Supernatural Purpose
Nowhere does the article mention Neumann’s primary mission: saving souls from hell. Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925) reminds us that Catholic education exists to establish Christ’s reign: “Rulers and legitimate superiors will have the conviction that they exercise authority not so much by their own right as by the command and in the place of the Divine King.” The conciliar sect reduces education to social work, exemplified by CNA calling Neumann “promoter of Catholic education” while supporting schools that omit Eucharistic adoration, Marian devotion, and the Four Last Things.
The article’s final blasphemy comes in urging donations to CNA’s modernist machine: “Your monthly donation will help our team continue reporting the truth.” But Christ warned: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves” (Matthew 7:15). Neumann’s true legacy isn’t preserved by conciliar counterfeiters, but by those keeping the Faith without compromise in the catacombs.
