So, Newpopes who are not even Catholic cannot canonize anyone. That being said, I'm wondering about those Catholics who lived and died before the errors of Vat2. If someone lived their life entirely within the fold of the Church and there has been an investigation into their sanctity, isn't it at least possible that such a person is worthy of veneration and devotion and emulation? Wouldn't it be a good thing to invoke their intercession even if a Newpope is unable to truly raise them to the altars?
I think of people like Padre Pio, who has been recognized by Newchurch, but also people like Solanus Casey, who I believe is recognized as 'venerable' but not yet as a canonized saint.
It's difficult these days to even consider who from the past might be truly saintly, since the entire machinery of investigation and approbation is under the control of heretics.
Just wondering if any of you recognize as saints anyone who may have been declared so by Newchurch, or in spite of that recognition.
Holy saints and Apostles, pray for us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, triumph soon!
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
