Conciliar Sect’s Fraudulent Beatifications Expose Modernist Apostasy
The CatholicNewsAgency portal (January 23, 2026) reports that antipope Leo XIV approved beatifications for murdered Guatemalan Franciscan Augusto Ramírez Monasterio and Italian religious founder Maria Ignazia Isacchi. This theatrical gesture epitomizes the conciliar sect’s systematic perversion of sanctity through political manipulation of martyrdom criteria.
Perversion of Martyrdom Criteria
The article portrays Ramírez Monasterio’s 1983 murder as martyrdom during Guatemala’s civil war, stating he was killed “apparently at the hands of Guatemalan security forces” after refusing to break the seal of confession. This narrative deliberately obscures canonical requirements for martyrdom established in Quas Primas (1925): “The martyrs underwent death… for the sake of exhibiting Christian virtue” (Pius XI). True martyrdom requires odium fidei (hatred of faith) as primary motive, not circumstantial political violence.
Accounts following Ramírez’s murder revealed that he had been tortured… for refusing to break the seal of confession after hearing the confession of Fidel Coroy, a catechist… known for his involvement in peasant organizations such as the Committee of Peasant Unity and the Guerrilla Army of the Poor.
The Guatemalan’s association with Marxist guerrilla movements contradicts Pius XI’s condemnation in Divini Redemptoris: “Communism is intrinsically wrong, and no one who would save Christian civilization may collaborate with it in any field whatsoever”. True Catholic martyrs die defending doctrine – not revolutionary political projects condemned by the Magisterium.
Illegitimate Beatification Authority
The “decree recognizing martyrdom” issued by “Cardinal” Semeraro’s Dicastery carries zero theological weight. Canon 1999 §1 of the 1917 Code reserves beatification exclusively to the Roman Pontiff – an office vacant since Pius XII’s death. The conciliar sect’s antipopes possess no jurisdiction, as St. Robert Bellarmine established: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope” (De Romano Pontifice). Leo XIV’s approval constitutes sacrilegious simulation, not ecclesial act.
Naturalistic Reduction of Sanctity
Maria Ignazia Isacchi’s purported miracle exemplifies the neo-church’s naturalistic corruption of saintly causes. The 1950 tuberculosis “healing” of Sister Maria Assunta follows the conciliar sect’s pattern of:
- Elevating ambiguous medical recoveries over doctrinal orthodoxy
- Ignoring Canon 2039 requiring miracles be “divine works having God alone as their immediate author”
- Omitting examination of the candidate’s doctrinal purity as required by Benedict XIV’s De Servorum Dei Beatificatione
The article’s focus on Isacchi’s “educational services and to those in need” reveals the conciliar sect’s Marxist inversion of holiness – replacing supernatural virtue with social activism. True saints like St. John Vianney warn: “The poor are only God’s receivers. Give to God, but give to Him through the poor” – a supernatural perspective absent in these beatifications.
Systemic Apostasy in Canonization Process
This theatrical ceremony continues Paul VI’s revolutionary destruction of saintly causes through Sanctitas Clarior (1969), which:
- Abolished the Devil’s Advocate office
- Reduced evidentiary standards
- Politicized martyrdom criteria
Pius XII prophetically condemned such innovations in Humani Generis: “Some audaciously pervert the concept of genuine Catholic doctrine”. The conciliar sect’s manufactured saints serve its anthropocentric religion – not Christ the King’s eternal reign.
The article’s silence about Ramírez Monasterio’s doctrinal positions and Isacchi’s liturgical practices proves these beatifications value political narrative over doctrinal fidelity. As the Holy Office decreed in Lamentabili (1907): “Faith ultimately rests on accumulated probabilities” (Condemned Proposition 25) – precisely the relativistic standard applied here.
Conclusion: Anti-Martyrdom of the Neo-Church
These beatifications constitute spiritual fraud, violating Pope Benedict XIV’s requirement that saints manifest “heroic virtue, demonstrated by… the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity toward God and neighbor” (De Beatificatione). The conciliar sect manufactures “saints” to validate its apostate humanism, completing the modernist program condemned in Pius X’s Pascendi: “Modernists constantly and openly rebuke the Church for… wanting to shut up the human intellect within the prison of dogma”. True Catholics recognize only saints canonized before 1958 – the last year of the Catholic Church’s visible hierarchy.
