Conciliar Sect’s Dubious Beatifications Expose Modernist Agenda
The VaticanNews portal (January 23, 2026) reports that antipope Leo XIV approved beatifications for Guatemalan Franciscan Augusto Ramírez Monasterio—killed in 1983 during Guatemala’s civil war—and Maria Ignazia Isacchi, founder of the Ursulines of the Sacred Heart. The article frames Ramírez as a martyr “for refusing to break the seal of confession” after hearing the confession of Fidel Coroy, a Marxist guerrilla linked to the Guerrilla Army of the Poor. Isacchi’s beatification rests on a 1950 miracle involving a nun’s recovery from tuberculosis. The report omits doctrinal scrutiny, instead celebrating “service to the poor” and “educational works” as hallmarks of holiness.
Martyrdom Redefined: Political Struggle Over Supernatural Faith
The article claims Ramírez was martyred for defending the seal of confession. Yet it admits he was targeted due to his association with Coroy, a Marxist insurgent. True martyrdom (martyrium) requires death in odium fidei—hatred for the Catholic faith—not collateral damage in a political conflict (St. Augustine, De Civitate Dei). Pius XII’s Mystici Corporis Christi (1943) condemns reducing the Church’s mission to social activism. By glorifying a priest entangled with revolutionary movements, the conciliar sect substitutes class struggle for the lex credendi.
Ramírez was remembered for his protection of the poor of Guatemala.
This utilitarian emphasis exposes modernism’s core error: equating holiness with temporal activism. St. Pius X’s Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907) decries such naturalism: “The Modernist… makes of philanthropy the basis of religion.” Silence on Ramírez’s spiritual life—sacramental efficacy, devotion to the Immaculate Heart—reveals the sect’s abandonment of scientia crucis.
Miracles Without Doctrine: The Isacchi Charade
Isacchi’s alleged miracle—a nun’s 1950 tuberculosis healing—is cited without examining whether her congregation upheld immutable doctrine. Her Ursulines of the Sacred Heart, founded in 1902, now operate under post-conciliar distortions. Pius IX’s Syllabus Errorum (1864) condemns those who prioritize “educational services” over combating error (Proposition 47). The miracle narrative ignores the discernment of spirits (1 John 4:1), reduced to medical verification—a modernist reduction of grace to measurable phenomena.
Subverting Holiness: The Antipope’s “Heroic Virtues” Factory
Leo XIV’s recognition of “heroic virtues” in Maria Immaculata of Brazil and others follows the conciliar playbook: canonize activists, not ascetics. St. Alphonsus Liguori’s Homo Apostolicus dictates that holiness requires flight from the world, not immersion in its chaos. The new “venerables” include Nerino Cobianchi, a layman praised as a “father of a family”—echoing Bergoglian anti-clericalism. Contrast this with pre-1958 saints like St. Benedict Joseph Labre, whose radical poverty witnessed to the regnum Christi.
Omissions That Condemn: Silence on the Supernatural
Nowhere does the article mention the Four Last Things, the necessity of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus, or the Social Reign of Christ the King. Guatemala’s civil war—rooted in Marxist apostasy—is whitewashed as a “clash” rather than a rebellion against Quas Primas (1925), which declares: “Nations must submit to Christ’s authority.” The conciliar sect’s beatifications are ideological tools to legitimize its rupture with Tradition. As St. Vincent of Lérins warned: “What is new cannot be Catholic.”
