CANONIZATIONS?


I'm just venting this day, concerning the upcoming 'canonizations' which are to be this Sunday, 'Mercy Sunday'. I just have a hard time trying to accept the making into saints of those who were responsible for the collapse of the Faith over the past 60+ years, plus, allowing some really bad stuff to keep occurring during their reign. When miracles were eliminated from the process, as well as the 'Devil's Advocate' role, the whole thing has me raising an eyebrow and saying: "Huh?"

The following is taken from the Vatican Council I, in the 19th century. That council defined the infallibility of the Supreme Pontiff. The question is, then, as to whether the pope can infallibly judge and declare a dead person to be a saint? The answer is NO! Tradition portrays a huge part in anything which is declared by the pope, the bishops, or anybody. Any break in that teaching, which comes to us from the Apostles, deems that teaching suspect. PERIOD!

In 1870, the Vatican Council infallibly defined that supernatural revelations which constitute the object of the Catholic Faith ended with the death of the last Apostle and that the pope could only infallibly define these revelations on faith and morals. Therefore the charism of 'papal infallibility' applies only to doctrines on faith and morals that were revealed to the Apostles. Consequently, the process of canonization cannot be infallible because it has no link with Tradition, no link with the revelations given to the Apostles. The canonization process was unknown to the Apostles and all the popes until the 9th century when popes started to canonize saints. Thus canonizations are not subject matter for papal infallibility because the process of canonization was not part of the revelations given to the Apostles.


Therefore, canonizations are NOT subject for our veneration; they are NOT part of Doctrine for our belief; these canonizations are another way for people to be scandalized once again. In ending, I only have to mimic what Our Lord said: "By their fruits shall you them." In my opinion, the 'fruits' of Vat. II are rotten to the core.
Vocations are down; the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is NOT represented anymore at the 'novus ordo'; the Faith is watered down for those in the pews; it is NOT being represented as it should be; non-Catholics are allowed to participate with their own services at our consecrated altars (Assisi); souls of all faiths go to heaven, or is it just for those that we know? Catholics are basically weak in their faith, and thus, their offspring are also weak, some not believing at all. These two 'saints' were instrumental in bringing us this new nonsense, and they were wrong!

I personally will NOT be asking these two 'saints' for their prayers, because I'm trying to hold onto my Faith, the Faith that comes to us from the Apostles themselves. Anything else is a pantload! Nuf said.
