Father Flanagan’s Canonization: The “Gospel of Social Work” Replaces the Gospel of Salvation
EWTN News reports on the advancement of the canonization cause of Father Edward Flanagan, founder of Boys Town, by the usurper “Pope” Leo XIV. The article celebrates Flanagan’s “revolutionary” approach to child welfare, emphasizing his work in social integration, civil rights advocacy, and psychological care, while reducing his priestly mission to mere humanitarian activism. This is the beatification of the social gospel, where the supernatural destiny of the child is sacrificed on the altar of psychological well-being and temporal comfort.
