Paul VI: Saint or Sinner?On October 14, 2018, Pope Francis canonized Pope Paul VI a saint, yet Paul VI denounced some of the very things that Francis today blesses, Communion in the hand to mention one. Does Francis truly stand with Pope Paul? It appears that his canonization was only a political maneuver to try to "canonize" the Vatican II revolution, which the Church today generally attributes to Paul VI, but did Paul VI agree with this revolution?
People argue that the destructive new order of change was Pope Paul’s doing, since he was the visible head of the Church at a time when this historic change was underway. But Paul VI was also the visible head of the Church when artificial contraception was being adopted more and more by Catholic women, even with the blessing of liberal clergy, so did this mean that the escalating use of the "pill" was also his doing? While Pope Paul initially believed the liturgical reform was the work of God to revive the Church, he himself did not initiate this change, nor did he seek to harm the Church. Is it possible that the pope who penned the superlative Humanae Vitae on the sanctity of human life and who solemnly declared that the smoke of Satan entered the Church could at the same time have been bent on destroying the Catholic Church? According to the late stigmatist St. Padre Pio, Paul VI was the "Supreme Pastor of all Christianity" whose "illuminated directions" warrant our "unconditional obedience." (September 12, 1968) Did St. Padre Pio err? This side of Paul VI doesn’t gel with the modernist rebel often depicted in the Sedevacantist tabloids. There indeed are mysteries or strange contradictions about Pope Paul VI that simply don’t add up. Paul VI: Saint or Sinner contains the missing link that clears up the mystery and dispels the shadows of prejudice that have prevented Catholics from seeing the "heroic virtues," which Benedict XVI cited as the grounds for his beatification.
