Another new Saint...but this time she probably deserves it! Notice it might take up to a century for her to be canonized.

Fastest Nun in the West' on path for sainthood

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The Archdiocese of Santa Fe announced Wednesday it is exploring sainthood for an Italian-born nun who challenged Billy the Kid, calmed angry mobs and helped open New Mexico territory hospitals and schools.

Archbishop Michael Sheehan said he has received permission from the Vatican to open the "Sainthood Cause" for Sister Blandina Segale, an educator and social worker who worked in Ohio, Colorado and New Mexico.

It's the first time in New Mexico's 400-year history with the Roman Catholic Church that a decree opening the cause of beatification and canonization has been declared, church officials said.

"There are other holy people who have worked here," said Allen Sanchez, president and CEO for CHI St. Joseph's Children in Albuquerque, a social service agency Segale founded. "But this would be a saint (who) started institutions in New Mexico that are still in operation."

Segale, a nun with the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, came to Trinidad, Colorado, in 1877 to teach poor children and was later transferred to Santa Fe, where she co-founded public and Catholic schools. During her time in New Mexico, she worked with the poor, the sick and immigrants. She also advocated on behalf of Hispanics and Native Americans who were losing their land to swindlers.

Her encounters with Old West outlaws later became the stuff of legend and were the subject of an episode of the CBS series "Death Valley Days." The episode, called "The Fastest Nun in the West," focused on her efforts to save a man from a lynch mob.

But her encounters with Billy the Kid remain among her most popular and well-known Western frontier adventures.

According to one story, she received a tip that The Kid was coming to her town to scalp the four doctors who had refused to treat his friend's gunshot wound. Segale nursed the friend to health, and when Billy came to Trinidad, Colorado, to thank her, she asked him to abandon his violent plan. He agreed.

Another story says The Kid and his gang attempted to rob a covered wagon traveling on the frontier. But when the famous outlaw looked inside, he saw Segale.

"He just tipped his hat," said Sheehan, the archbishop. "And left."

Many of the tales she wrote in letters to her sister later became the book, "At the End of the Santa Fe Trail."

"She was just amazing," said Victoria Marie Forde of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati. "It's tough to live up to her example."

Segale found St. Joseph's Hospital in Albuquerque before returning to Cincinnati in 1897 to start Santa Maria Institute, which served recent immigrants.

Her work resonates today, with poverty, immigration and child care still high-profile issues, Sanchez said.

Officials say it could take years — possibly a century — before Segale becomes a saint. The Vatican has to investigate her work and monitor for any related "miracles."

Those miracles could come in the form of healings, assistance to recent Central American immigrant children detained at the U.S. border or some other unexplained occurrences after devotees pray to her, Sanchez said.

"She's going to have to keep working," Sanchez said. "She's not done."

Can't you see that we're being slow-boiled like a frog?

Under Pius XII there was the first wave of innovations with Holy Week and the termite action of Bugnini.

Then came John XXIII and his pet council, Vat.II, along with the unclean spirit thereof, as foretold in prophesy.

Then came Paul VI, the Newmass and the punishment of faithful priests who resisted that.

Then came the Newcode of Canon Law, putting the heresies of Vat.II into legal form (which -- ask any lawyer -- is a joke).

Then came Assisi I and the so-called excommunication of those Bishops who resisted this heresy.

Then came the death of God's holy Archbishop and the election of a new Liberal for SG of the SSPX.

Then came the GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS story -- Beatification of Pope Pius IX along with the coat-tails Beatification of Pope John XXIII.

Then came Assisi II.

Then came the next level of insult to your intelligence, the Beatification of JPII.

Then came Assisi III.

Then came the next level of insult to your intelligence, the New GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS story -- Newcanoization of John XXIII along with the coat-tails Newcanonization of John Paul II.

(Note: Blessed Pius IX has been discarded as his purpose was for his Beatification to open the door for John XXIII, whose Beatification was to serve as a transitional Beatification -- just as his papacy was a transitional papacy from the Apostolic Church to Newchurch -- from before Vat.II to after Vat.II, so the empty husk of Bl. Pius IX is thrown in the dustbin while the Newagenda marches onward.)

Then came the next level of insult to your intelligence because you now don't have any intelligence left to insult anymore, and that is, the Newbeatification of Paul VI, the worst pope in the entire history of the Church, BAR NONE.

There is only one Scripture quote that fits this one.

And it's Matthew xxiv. 15f:

When therefore you shall see the

abomination of desolation

which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet,

standing in the holy place:

he that readeth let him understand.

Then they that are in Judea, let them flee into the mountains.

And he that is on the house-top,

let him not come down to take anything out of his house.

And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat.

And woe to them that are with child, and give suck in those days.

But pray that your flight might not be in the winter, or on the sabbath.

For there shall be then great tribulation,

such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now,

neither shall be.

And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved;

But for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened.

Then if any man shall say to you: Lo, here is Christ, or there;

do not believe him.

For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets,

and shall show great signs and wonders,

insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect.

Behold I have told it to you, beforehand.

Do you think Our Lord did not know that Paul VI would be Newbeatified on Black Sunday, 2014 when He said that? He could have said, instead, "Pope Paul VI will be Newbeatified on Black Sunday 2014" but that would have been a scandal and would have done more damage than good. So he told us what we could bear to hear, and that is what you see, above, that is,

For those with eyes to see: he that readeth, let him understand.

Quote from: MyrnaM

Quote from: andysloan

"We declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff." (Pope Boniface VIII, the Bull Unam Sanctam, 1302).

Yes, if we only had a Roman Pontiff to be subject too!

Also...what say you about this?

Quote
We decree that those who give credence to the teachings of the heretics, as well as those who receive, defend, and patronize them, are excommunicated;The Canons of the Fourth Lateran Council, 1215 CANON 3

Those who are only found suspect of heresy are to be struck with the sword of anathema, unless they prove their innocence by an appropriate purgation, having regard to the reasons for suspicion and the character of the person. Let such persons be avoided by all until they have made adequate satisfaction. If they persist in the excommunication for a year, they are to be condemned as heretics. (The Fourth Lateran Council-On Heretics)

We strictly ordain that if any such person, after he has been designated as excommunicated, refuses to render satisfaction within a year, then by the law itself he shall be branded as infamous and not be admitted to public offices or councils or to elect others to the same or to give testimony. He shall be intestable, that is he shall not have the freedom to make a will nor shall succeed to an inheritance. Moreover nobody shall be compelled to answer to him on any business whatever, but he may be compelled to answer to them. If he is a judge sentences pronounced by him shall have no force and cases may not be brought before him; if an advocate, he may not be allowed to defend anyone; if a notary, docuмents drawn up by him shall be worthless and condemned along with their condemned author; and in similar matters we order the same to be observed. If however he is a cleric, let him be deposed from every office and benefice, so that the greater the fault the greater be the punishment. If any refuse to avoid such persons after they have been pointed out by the Church, let them be punished with the sentence of excommunication until they make suitable satisfaction. (The Fourth Lateran Council-On Heretics)

The bishop himself should summon the accused to his presence, and they should be punished canonically if they are unable to clear themselves of the charge or if after compurgation they relapse into their former errors of faith. If however any of them with damnable obstinacy refuse to honour an oath and so will not take it, let them by this very fact be regarded as heretics.(The Fourth Lateran Council-On Heretics)

Myrna, there no such thing as ipso facto loss of office for heresy "in real time" for lay people and Priests etc. (public or not). The Church can, however, apply the penalty retroactively. This is also proven by the case of public, obstinate heretic Martin Luther who held his office for over three years.
