The Heresy of “Hope” in a Post-Conciliar “Saint”
The cited article from EWTN News reports on a Vatican conference honoring “Venerable” Francis-Xavier Nguyễn Văn Thuận, a figure elevated in the process of beatification by the antipope “Francis.” It frames his life and prison writings as a testimony of “hope,” gentleness, and serenity amidst communist persecution, presenting him as a model for contemporary Catholics. This narrative, however, is a masterclass in theological and spiritual bankruptcy, substituting sentimental humanism for the integral Catholic doctrine of Christ’s absolute Kingship and the Church’s uncompromising war against error.
