Heavenly signs follow FrancisChurch
Isn’t it enough that the Pope of Communism rehabilitates un-collared Marxist revolutionary priests and flouts protocol to beatify rightly-suppressed Liberation Theology icons, but now we have to get silly stories of Fatima-like miracles to grease the wheels.
As the relics of Blessed Oscar Romero were brought out for veneration during his beatification Mass in San Salvador, the cloudy skies parted and a ring of light – known as a “solar halo” – appeared around the sun.
“Honestly, I think this one of the most supernatural things I have ever experienced in my life,” Father Manuel Dorantes told CNA May 29.
How many other lesser supernatural things did Father experience?
A priest of the diocese of Chicago and Spanish assistant to the director of the Holy See press office, Fr. Dorantes was present in San Salvador for the May 23 beatification of Archbishop Oscar Romero.

Romero oversaw the diocese of San Salvador from 1977 until March 24, 1980, when he was shot and killed while saying Mass. In February Pope Francis officially recognized him as a martyr, and his beatification took place in his former diocese just over a week ago.
The ring around the sun appeared once Cardinal Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, had finished reading the official decree proclaiming Oscar Arnulfo Romero as a martyr and a blessed, Fr. Dorantes recalled.
So despite the fact that Romero was not actually martyred for the faith, and no miracle was defined, God himself signified his approval at the moment the beatification became official!
After the decree was vocally translated into Spanish, the choir began leading pilgrims in singing the traditional “Gloria” while a group of deacons brought out Romero’s relics – including the bloodstained shirt he wore the day he was killed.
Then “the weirdest thing occurred,” Fr. Dorantes noted, explaining that since it had been raining the day before, the sky was completely cloudy.
“As the relics came out, as we were singing the Gloria, all of a sudden, the heavens above us opened up, and the sun came out. A perfect circular halo formed above the sun.”
You see, the halo around the sun was a sure sign that the halo Francis gave Oscar Romero is authentic. Can you imagine all the weird, yet unreported, things happening in the sky over Rome these days?
