FALSE. Fr. Flavie Villanueva declares that a victim in the Extrajudicial Killings (EJK) Museum is being considered, endorsed, or recognized as a “future saint.”
FACT. There is no verified record from the Church or Fr. Villanueva claimed that EJK victims would become saints under Catholic canonization processes.
While Fr. Villanueva has consistently spoken about the dignity of EJK victims, the references to them as candidates for sainthood appear to be fabricated.
Despite the EJK Museum actually existing and was established to honor these victims, there are no transcripts, verified reports, or official records confirming the claim that the victims could become the “next saints.”
Using the term “saint” in this context without proper clarification misleads the public and falsely suggests official Church recognition.
In the Catholic Church, canonization requires evidence of heroic virtue and typically two confirmed miracles — one for beatification and another for canonization — verified by the Vatican.
Claims involving sainthood, martyrdom, or Church endorsement should always be verified through official Church sources.
