Natural Phenomenon Exploited by Conciliar Sect in Tumaco Anniversary
The EWTN News portal (February 5, 2026) recounts the 1906 Tumaco tsunami event, where two priests allegedly halted oceanic destruction by elevating the Eucharist. Bishop Franklin Misael Betancourt of the post-conciliar “Diocese of Tumaco” presided over anniversary celebrations, proclaiming intentions to establish a “shrine” commemorating the incident. The report appeals to emotion rather than doctrinal scrutiny, omitting critical examination of the event’s supernatural claims.
Pre-Conciliar Miracles vs. Neo-Church Spectacles
Authentic Eucharistic miracles recognized by the pre-1958 Magisterium share three immutable characteristics: immediate cessation of the phenomenon upon sacramental intervention (e.g., Lanciano 8th century), thorough diocesan investigation (Canon 2039 §1 Codex Iuris Canonici 1917), and exclusion of natural causation (Pope Benedict XIV, De Servorum Dei Beatificatione). The Tumaco account fulfills none:
“The immense wave… stopped, as if blocked by an invisible force… while the sea returned to its normal state”
This vague description mirrors documented subduction-zone tidal resonance common to Colombia’s Pacific coast. No meteorological or geological analysis accompanies the narrative. Contrast this with the 1914 Positio for Lanciano’s miracle, where Cardinal Angelo Macchi ordered spectroscopic confirmation of myocardial tissue in the Host.
Sacramental Validity of Conciliar “Clergy”
The article uncritically cites “Father Gerardo Larrondo” as celebrant. Yet post-1968 ordinations—and by extension, all conciliar “sacraments”—lack validity due to the Novus Ordo rite’s intentional destruction of forma and materia (Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Inter Insigniores 1976). As Pius XII decreed:
“If the rite is changed… the intention… no longer tends to what the Church does” (Sacramentum Ordinis, 1947).
No mention is made of Larrondo’s ordination lineage—a grave omission given rampant invalid episcopal consecrations after Paul VI’s Pontificalis Romani (1968).
Exploitation of Carlo Acutis: Masonic “Saint”
Betancourt invokes “St. Carlo Acutis”—a figure canonized by Bergoglio’s antipapal regime—to legitimize the Tumaco tale. This exemplifies the conciliar sect’s strategy:
“The imprecise formulation… opens the way to religious relativism” ([FILE: False Fatima Apparitions]).
Acutis’ “exhibition” of Eucharistic miracles deliberately conflates approved pre-1958 events (Bolsena 1263) with dubious phenomena like Amsterdam 1345 (condemned by Clement VI). His beatification relied on the heresy of canonization by acclamation—a practice anathematized by Urban VIII’s Caelestis Hierusalem cives (1634).
Shrine Proposal: Idolatry Masquerading as Devotion
The “bishop”‘s pledge to build a “magnificent shrine” exposes the neo-church’s modus operandi:
1. Emotional manipulation (“Miracle! Miracle!” crowds) replacing ex opere operato efficacy
2. Financial exploitation through pilgrimage tourism
3. Theological inversion prioritizing spectacle over latria (adoration due to God alone)
As Pius XI warned:
“The pursuit of novelty… causes the heritage of humanity to be rejected” ([FILE: Lamentabili sane exitu]).
Omission of Eschatological Reality
Nowhere does Betancourt reference the finis ultimus (ultimate end) of Eucharistic worship: propitiation for sins (Council of Trent, Session XXII) and impetration of graces (1 John 5:14-15). Instead, the miracle is reduced to a natural disaster deterrent—a blasphemous parallel to pagan storm-quelling rituals.
The article concludes with 40 hours’ adoration—an invalid practice given the conciliar sect’s adulterated Eucharistic rite. True worship requires valid priests consecrated under Pius XII’s 1947 norms, not Bergoglian “ministers.”
