US Bishops Promote Jesuit’s Beatification: Masking Apostasy with Social Activism
The Catholic News Agency portal (November 12, 2025) reports that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) approved advancing the beatification cause of Jesuit Richard Thomas (1928-2006). Bishop Peter Baldacchino of Las Cruces presented Thomas as a model of service to the poor, emphasizing his work at Our Lady’s Youth Center in El Paso and The Lord’s Ranch in New Mexico. Baldacchino recounted a supposed 1972 “miraculous multiplication” of food at a Juárez garbage dump, while Bishops Mark Seitz and Andrew Cozzens praised Thomas’s “heroic life” and involvement in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal.
