Peruvian Archbishop’s False Sanctity: A Modernist Distortion of Holiness
The Archdiocese of Arequipa reports that “Archbishop” Javier Del Río Alba addressed over 8,500 youth at the Shrine of Our Lady of Chapi during their October 31-November 1 festival, claiming: “We can all be saints” like Carlo Acutis, Pier Giorgio Frassati, and other post-1958 figures canonized by the Vatican occupiers. The event featured emotional appeals about “God in our DNA,” confession with “priests” of questionable orders, and claims that holiness requires neither asceticism nor doctrinal rigor.
Theological Subversion of Sanctity
Del Río’s assertion that sanctity is universally attainable through mere desire constitutes heresy against the Church’s defined teaching on the rarity of salvation. The Council of Trent infallibly declares: “If any one saith, that all persons are predestinated unto life… let him be anathema” (Session VI, Canon 17). Pius XII’s Mystici Corporis Christi (1943) condemns the “false opinion of those who assert that all men are automatically ordained to the mystical Body of the Redeemer by the very fact of their birth.” The archbishop’s saccharine message deliberately omits the conditio sine qua non (indispensable condition) of sanctity: “Unless you do penance, you shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3).
Canonization Farce Exposed
The reference to Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati – “canonized” in September by the Vatican antipope – reveals the event’s diabolical parody. True canonizations ceased with Pius XII, as subsequent “popes” lack jurisdiction. As St. Robert Bellarmine states: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope” (De Romano Pontifice 2:30), and Canon 188.4 of the 1917 Code confirms automatic loss of office for public defection from faith. The counterfeit “saints” promoted here exemplify the conciliar sect’s agenda: Acutis represents technological syncretism, while Frassati’s mountain-climbing “holiness” reduces Catholic asceticism to athletic sentimentalism.
Naturalistic Sacramental Simulation
The claim that youth received “plenary indulgences” through this gathering constitutes blasphemous deception. Pius V’s Quam plenum (1568) requires for valid indulgences: 1) sacramental confession, 2) Eucharistic communion, 3) prayers for the Pope’s intentions, and 4) complete detachment from sin. None of these conditions could possibly be met in a rock-concert atmosphere with invalid sacraments administered by clergy ordained under Paul VI’s illicit rites. The event’s “confessions” hold no validity, as John XXIII’s Sacraméntum Ordinis (1947) was the last valid ordination rite, replaced by the invalid Pontificalis Romani in 1968.
Omission of Supernatural Realities
Nowhere does Del Río mention the Four Last Things (Death, Judgment, Heaven, Hell), the necessity of mortification, or the Church’s teaching on predestination. This silence exposes the naturalism condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (1907), which rejects the proposition that “faith rests merely on accumulated probabilities” (Proposition 25). Instead, the archbishop peddles the modernist lie that “God is in our DNA” – a pantheistic error directly condemned by Pius IX’s Syllabus: “God is identical with the nature of things” (Error 1). True Catholic doctrine maintains God’s absolute transcendence, as Lateran IV defined: “God is a spiritual substance sui generis, ineffably exalted above all things.”
Our Lady of Chapi: Syncretic Devotion
The festival’s centerpiece – devotion to “Our Lady of Chapi” – bears hallmarks of syncretism. Peruvian Marian shrines post-1958 invariably mix indigenous paganism with Catholic imagery, violating the First Commandment. As the Syllabus condemns: “In the worship of any religion whatever, man may find the way of eternal salvation” (Error 16). The true Church never permits pagan accretions, following St. Pius V’s Quo Primum (1570): “Let nothing be added to or taken from the sacred rites.”
Conclusion: Spiritual Poison Disguised as Piety
This youth festival exemplifies the conciliar sect’s strategy: replace Catholic asceticism with emotionalism, substitute true sacraments with communal rituals, and exchange dogmatic clarity for universalist platitudes. As Pius XI warned in Quas Primas (1925): “When men… renounce and do not wish to recognize the reign of our Savior, the entire human society had to be shaken.” The Peruvian event’s insistence that sanctity requires neither doctrinal precision nor sacramental validity proves its diabolical origin – a sugar-coated pill of apostasy for the next generation.
