A Great Lie that Damages Souls:
The ‘Beatification’ of Bishop Angelelli
On April 26, 2019, the official news agency of the Argentinian Episcopate released a Bulletin titled "Argentina joyfully celebrates the beatification of the Riojan Martyrs," which is transcribed below. It announces that on April 27, Bishop Enrique Angelelli will be beatified in La Rioja by the Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints and special envoy of Pope Francis, Cardinal Angelo Becciu.

As it is known and reported in various places, Bishop Angelelli was an accomplice to the terrorists of the '70s, turning his diocese into a refuge for those criminals and offering safe passage for transporting persons and arms from Chile, which was then in the hands of the communist Allende. I was in La Rioja in those years on an anticommunist campaign with the TFP, and we suffered threats and even physical attacks from the Bishop's hitmen.
Further, it is false that he was assasinated: In fact, he died in a car accident, caused by Fr. Carlos Murias (also beatified on April 27) who while driving the car was speeding and carelessly hit the edge of the pavement. Fr. Murias seemed to lack the capacity to quickly straighten the wheels of the car, which overturned and threw the Bishop violently onto the road. He died from that blow, that is to say, from the accident. Most likely, the nearest cause of it was the driver, who was coming with the Bishop from a lunch (probably with wine) in the town of Chamical, and either fell asleep or lost control of the vehicle.
A technician who was working on an electrical pole near the site witnessed the accident, and his statement confirms that the car was the only one on the road. The police investigated the case and issued a final judgment stating that the death was accidental.
In any case, absurdly supposing that the military had killed him, nothing indicates that it was out of hatred of the Faith (a basic condition for the cause of "martyrdom"), but rather because of his guerrilla militancy. Notwithstanding, he died as a pseudo-martyr of Marxism ...
Therefore, the beatification is null and it is false that "Argentina joyfully celebrates" this action. It seems that the Episcopate has forgotten the 8th Commandment "Do not bear false witness," that is, "Do not lie.
