Francis, santo subito? This is what emerges from a tweet from his successor, Pope Leo XIV.
Pope Leo XIV places Francis in Heaven
The Conciliar popes have accustomed us to "canonizing" their conciliar predecessors, as if being the Supreme Pastor of souls automatically opened the gates of Heaven. Pope Leo XIV is no exception.
In a message posted on X, the new pontiff elevates Francis to Heaven, which theologically means that his predecessor is a saint. Santo subito!
Today, in a special way, we remember with deep gratitude our beloved #PopeFrancis, who exactly one month ago returned to the Father's house. He accompanies us and prays for the Church from Heaven. @Pontifex266Arch

This message on X, which marks Leo XIV's veneration for his predecessor, is not an isolated one: on Saturday, May 10, he spoke of "the precious legacy of Francis"; on Sunday, May 10, at the Regina Coeli, he confided that "During the Mass, I strongly felt the spiritual presence of Pope Francis, who accompanies us from Heaven." During the audience on Monday, May 19, before representatives of other Churches and Ecclesial Communities and other religions, he rallied behind Bergoglian encyclical Fratelli Tutti, which is at odds with Catholic doctrine, and Francis's other great work, synodality. In a very short space of time, the current pontiff has thus repeatedly praised Francis and declared that he would continue on the path traced by his predecessor.
This express "canonization" of Francis highlights the admiration Leo XIV has for him and, consequently, for the Bergoglian pontificate, which was, according to the very conservatives of the Council, the most disastrous in the entire history of the Church. But for Leo XIV, Francis is in heaven, and therefore a saint…
During the Christian Middle Ages, which, poor thing, had not yet reached the luminous shores of sacrosanct inter-religious dialogue and doctrinal relativism—of apostasy, in short—men imbued with the principle of non-contradiction consigned bad popes to hell. "If you are so curious to know who I am that you go down the ripa, know that I was once a pope (dressed in the great mantle), and that I was an Orsini (son of the bear), who eagerly sought to advance my nephews (orsatti, that is, teddy bears), putting their goods in the purse and condemning me, here below, to be impaled" (verses 67-72), proclaims Pope Nicholas III in the nineteenth canto of Hell in the Divine Comedy by the Florentine poet Dante Alighieri, who died in 1321.
Conciliar times and santo subito: the highest prelates no longer confirm their brothers in the faith but automatically go to Heaven.
Dark times are over: in our conciliar times, de-Christianized but enlightened, what a sublime inspiration this santo subito is, where the highest prelates no longer confirm their brothers in the faith but automatically go to Heaven!
Ultimately, perhaps we are obscurantists, but this Francis santo subito by the favor of Leo is hardly encouraging and already says a lot about the progressive "Leonine" doctrine that will prevail in today's Rome, which is still neo-modernist and neo-Protestant. And, if the mind is wrong, the occasional use of more traditional liturgical vestments and Latin will not be able to change the serious crisis the Church has been going through since Vatican II.
