As reported by Rorate Caeli:
Vatican Blocks Continuity of Procedure of Beatification and Canonization of Argentine Bishop Jorge Novak SVD…
One of the most shocking forced beatifications of the Francis pontificate was that of Bishop Angelelli, a terrorist-supporting Bishop from Argentina, who died in an automobile accident, but was deemed a martyr. He was so liberal, so cruel against orthodox Catholics, and so against any orthodox causes in his lifetime, that serious Catholics in Argentina mocked him by calling him "Satanelli" during his own lifetime.
Another extreme liberal bishop, and a pro-Communist, Jorge Novak, of Quilmes, was also placed by Francis on a fast track to beatification and canonization. Thankfully, with the new pontificate, the fast tracking is being reexamined, and, in Novak's case, at least one serious impediment has been found: his lax conduct regarding the case of at least one abusive priest under his care.
The announcement of the Vatican derailment of the cause was made public yesterday by the local diocese:
Communiqué on the Cessation of the Canonical Cause for the Beatification and Canonization of the Servant of God Father Bishop Jorge Novak SVD, First Bishop of Quilmes (1976–2001)
