Conciliar Sect Advances Counterfeit Canonization of Mystic Rhoda Wise
The EWTN News portal reports (July 8, 2026) that the “positio” for Servant of God Rhoda Wise (1888–1948), a lay mystic from Ohio credited with hundreds of unexplained healings and the spiritual mentor of Mother Angelica, has been submitted to the “Dicastery for the Causes of Saints” in the Vatican. The article details her reported visions of Christ and St. Thérèse of Lisieux, a miraculous cure from stomach cancer, visible stigmata appearing weekly for over two years, and her influence on the foundress of the EWTN media empire. The piece frames the submission as a procedural step toward beatification by “Pope Leo XIV,” soliciting prayers for the success of the cause. This maneuver exposes the conciliar sect’s manufacturing of counterfeit sanctity to bolster its crumbling credibility, substituting sentimental wonder-working for the heroic virtue and doctrinal orthodoxy required by the Church’s immutable legislation.
