Are you "Proud to be a Catholic"? https://ocaminhodossanttos.blogspot.com/2021/07/proudtobecatholic.html An open challenge on the Alleged Hermeneutics of Continuity. https://ocaminhodossanttos.blogspot.com/2021/07/hermeneuticsofcontinuity.html

1. MAJOR FEAST: Saints Aquila and his wife Priscilla, of whom mention is made in the Acts of the Apostles, their deaths in the Lord, today, in Asia Minor. (RM)




2. Dedico este dia, caso contrário sem festa conhecida de Nossa Senhora, como um dia em que rezo a Maria, a Sempre Virgem, a Imaculada, Nossa doce mãe, Antídoto Contra o Cisma e a Heresia, Nossa Senhora de Boa Viagem, Nossa Senhora do Livramento, pela minha viagem segura, emprego e sustento, pelo trabalho da Igreja, pelas intenções de Sua Santidade o Papa Miguel I, e pela libertação de Goa da maldição e da sujeira de 1954-1961. Eu faço esta oração por Jesus Cristo, nosso Senhor, que vive e reina na Unidade da Trindade Divina, com o Pai e o Espírito Santo, um Deus, para todo o sempre, Amém!
   I dedicate this day, otherwise without a known feast of Our Lady, as a day where I pray to Mary the Ever Virgin, the Immaculate One, Our Blessed Mother, Antidote Against Schism and Heresy, Our Lady of Save Travels, Our Lady of Deliverance, for my safe travel, employment and livelihood, for the work of the Church, for the Intentions of His Holiness Pope Michael I, and for the Liberation of Goa from the Curse and Filth of 1954-1961. I make this prayer through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns in the Unity of the Triune Godhead, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, one God, forever, and ever, Amen!



3. Translation Feast of St Theobald of Marly, also Thibaut, Thibault & Thiébaut. He was born at the castle of Marly, Montmorency, and was trained as a knight. He served as a knight at the court of Philip Augustus, though he later entered the Cistercian monastery of Vaux-de-Cernay in 1220. He was elected prior in 1230 and ninth abbot in 1235. He died in the Lord, December 8, 1247. He was held in high esteem by King St Louis IX of France. He is venerated in Thann in France and Hemel Hempstead in England. The feasts of the translations of his relics are celebrated on July 8, 9 & 27 besides his Dies Natalis on December 8.


4. Translation Feast of St Withburge, virgin, the youngest of the four sisters, all saints, daughters of Anna the holy king of the East-Angles. In her tender years she devoted herself to the divine service, and led an austere life in close solitude for several years at Holkham, an estate of the king her father, near the sea-coast in Norfolk, where a church, afterwards called Withburgstow, was built. After the death of her father she changed her dwelling to another estate of the crown called Dereham. This is at present a considerable market town in Norfolk, but was then an obscure retired place. Withburge assembled there many devout virgins, and laid the foundation of a great church and nunnery, but did not live to finish the buildings. Her holy death happened on March 17, 743. Her body was interred in the church-yard at Dereham, and fifty-five years after, found uncorrupt, and translated into the church. One hundred and seventy-six years after this, in 974, Brithnoth, the first abbot of the restored monastery of Ely, after that house, which had been destroyed by the Danes, was rebuilt, with the consent of King Edgar, removed it to Ely, and deposited it near the bodies of her two sisters. In 1106 the remains of the four saints were translated into the new church and laid near the high altar. The bodies of Saints Sexburga and Ermenilda were reduced to dust, except the bones. That of St Audry was entire, and that of St. Withburge was not only sound but also fresh, and the limbs perfectly flexible. Warner, a monk of Westminster, showed this to all the people, by lifting up and moving several ways the hands, arms, and feet. Herbert, bishop of Thetford, who in 1094 translated his see to Norwich, and many other persons of distinction were eyewitnesses hereof. This is related by Thomas, a monk of Ely, which he wrote the year following, 1107. This author tells us, that in the place where St Withburge was first buried, in the church-yard of Dereham, a large fine spring of most clear water gushes forth. It is to this day called St Withburge's well, was formerly very famous, and is paved, covered and inclosed; a stream from it forms another small well without the church-yard.


5. The Holy Martyrs of Constantinople, the Abrahamite monks, so called because their monastery, and others were founded by St Abraham, bishop of Ephesus. Martyred, massacred, because they resisted the Iconoclasm of Emperor Theophilus by defending the worship of holy images. (RM)


6. The Holy Martyrs of Porto Romano, Saints Magnus and Companions, a total of fifty soldiers, who were led to the faith by the martyrdom of St Bonosa, and baptized by Pope St Felix. They were put to death in the persecution of Septimius Severus. (RM) From what I am able to determine, the martyrdoms of Saints Bonosa and Companions (her brother Eutopius and sister Zozima), and of St Magnus and Companions, happened separately, first Saints Bonosa et al, and, as a consequence of events at that Martyrdom, the subsequent Martyrdom of Saints Magnus et al; for some reason, the Martyrdom of St Magnus et al is celebrated July 8, some days before the Martyrdom of Saints Bonosa et al. Both set of Martyrs were interred in the Catacombs of Pontiani. In 1700, the relics of St Bonosa and of St Magnus were extricated and given to the Cistercian Nuns in nearby Anagni, Italy. In 1901, the Italian government seized the convent and forcibly doshoused the nuns from the monastery. We read «In June 1901, the Rt Revd Monsignor Mezzolinski, secretary to Cardinal Mieczysław Halka Ledóchowski, wrote to the pastor of St Martin of Tours in Louisville Kentucky, Monsignor Francis Zabler: "At last I can fulfill your wish. The venerable Cistercian Nuns of Anagni, Italy, must give up their sanctuary, relinquish their monastery and seek another house. In their sad plight, Pope Leo XIII has given them permission to donate the relics of certain martyrs under certain conditions. I myself have been at Anagni to investigate the authenticity of these relics. Without a doubt they are genuine." On December 31, 1901, the complete skeletal relics of St Magnus, a Roman centurion, arrived at the Louisville Kentucky customs office. They were placed in glass reliquaries beneath the north and south transept altars, where they have been venerated ever since.» In investigating the information for Saints Bonosa and Magnus, I see that there is a lot of confusion. There is a suggestion that the relics of St Magnus translated from the Catacombs of Pontiani to the Cistercian nunnery at Anagni, and upon the suppression of the nunnery, their translation to the Church of St Martin of Tours at Phoenix Hill in Louisville in Kentucky, involves that of St Magnus of Trani also called St Magnus of Anagni. The latter was a shepherd, baptized by bishop St Redemptus of Trani, and after his demise, acclaimed his successor as bishop of Trani which then included Anagni, martyred near Fabrateria Vetus in Latium. As a matter of fact, Magnus of Porto is a different person, a Roman military officer, rank of Centurion, not an ecclesiastic or cleric, who witnessed the Martyrdom of St Bonosa, her brother, St Eutropius, and sister, St Zozima, and which inspired him and some other soldiers to Revert to God, for which they too were Martyred. The Roman Martyrology identifies July 8 as the Martyrdom of a band of 50 unnamed Roman soldiers, who had been brought to Revert by St Bonosa at Porto Romano, baptized thereafter by Pope St Felix, and martyred. I am certain that this is St Magnus of Porto Romano and Companions. Again, there are 2 Saints Bonosa, with somewhat parallel subsequent history. The first one, let us for convenience call her St Bonosa of Louisville, was a 24 years old girl who was martryed, buried in the Catacombs of Pontiani and then in 1700, her relics were removed, gifted by the Pope to the Cistercian Nunnery of Anagni, and when they were expropriated, they in turn, with the permission of the Pope, gifted her relics to St Martin at Louisville. Another St Bonosa was a 4 year old girl who was buried in the Catacombs of Praetextatus, recovered March 27, 1848, gifted by Pope Pius IX in 1850 to the French Trappist Cistercian Benedictine monastery of Fontgombault, and when the Satanists of France once again persecuted the Church, the monks of Fontgombault took her relics and fled to Cottonwood, Idaho, USA, later, when Fontgombault was recovered and restored as the Solesmian Benedictines, some but not all, of these relics were returned to Fontgombault, while the most of her relics remained at Cottonwood, and were subsequently translated to the new Trappist monastery of Our Lady of Clear Creek in Oklahoma, USA. Porto Romano was located at the mouth of the Tiber on the coast of Latium, I cannot find it, but it may be identical to Ostia. (Lúcío Mascarenhas).


7. The Holy Martyrs of Selja Saints Sunniva, her siblings Albanus, Borni and Marita, Irish royals fleeing pagan persecution in Ireland, and their followers and companions, martyrs on the island of Selja in Norway. The day is called Seljumanmas or Seljumannamesse. Her body was found incorrupt, but was lost in the Depradations of the Deformers.


8. The Holy Martyrs of Sirmium in Pannonia, now on the border of Serbia and Croatia, Saints Cecilia, Eperentius, Heraclius, Sostratus, and Spirus, their history is lost. It would seem that they were martyred by the Arian German invaders, not by the pagan Roman Empire.


9. The Holy Martyrs of Taormina in Sicily St Pancratius, an Antiochian. As a child, his father had taken him to Jerusalem, where it is said that he witnessed Jesus Christ and His works. Back in Antioch, he and his entire family converted. Hermit in a cave in Pontus. St Peter the Apostle consecrated Saints Pancratius and Marcellus as missionary bishops for Sicily, and St Philagrius for Cyprus about AD 40, at the time of Emperor Caligula (37-41),. Miraculously saved the city from destruction by the pagan commander Aquilinus. He removed the pagan idols or threw them into the sea. That angered those who clung to the pagan gods. The fiercest opponent was called Artagatus. He devised a ruse to get rid of St Pancratius. He pretended to convert and invited him to his home for a celebratory meal. Then he held out an idol to Pancratius and asked him to kiss it. But Pancratius made the sign of the cross and the statue fell to the ground shattered to smithereens. Artagatus and his pagan companions beat, bit, and kicked him and his disciples Saints Aesia and Susanna, wherever they could. Their bodies were thrown into a deep well. But his disciples eventually found them because a wonderful light hung around the place. All of this is said to have taken place during the reign of Emperor Trajan (98-117). The Roman Martyrology celebrates them on April 3. The Martyrology of St Jerome, and of the Church of Naples celebrated them both on April 3 and July 8.


10. The Holy Martyrs of Wurtzburg in Franconia Saints Kilian, also spelled Killian or alternatively Irish: Cillian; Latin: Kilianus, was an Irish missionary bishop and the Apostle of Franconia, now in north Bavaria, where he began his labours towards the end of the 7th century. He and his collaborators, St Colman, a priest, and St Totnan, a deacon, Irish missionaries to the then pagan Franconians, were martyred, murdered by assassins sent by Geilana, because they had persuaded Duke Gosbert that in marrying his late brother's widow, he had sinned, and because Gosbert had promised to end this unholy union. Their feast day is July 8.


11. St Abraham, a bishop, and martyr, his history is lost. He is not St Abraham, bishop of Ephesus and founder of the Abrahamite monasteries.


12. St Adolf IV, Count of Schauenburg. In 1225 he reclaimed Holstein from the Danes. In 1228 he participated in crusades in Livonia. In Hamburg and Kiel he founded monasteries.

13. Pope St Adrian III, his Dies Natalis at Spina Lamberti in Emília, famous for his zeal in reconciling the Eastern Schismatics, and renowned for his miracles. His body was taken to the monastery of Nonantola and buried with honors in the Church of St Sylvester. RM.


14. St Albert of Genoa, also known as Lambert of Genoa, was a Cistercian hermit. Born in Genoa, Italy, Albert entered the Cistercian abbey nearby. There he remained for the rest of his life as a lay brother and a hermit. Died in the Lord, July 8, 1239.

17. St Arnold of Arnoldsweiler, noted for his charity to the poor. The village of Arnoldsweiler, Germany is named for him.


18. St Auspicius is said to be the successor of St Maternus as the Bishop of Trier or Treves in Germany. However, some authorities identify him as the 5th-century Bishop of Toul, France. Today is celebrated both the St Auspicius of Trier or Treves, who died about 130, and the St Auspicius of Toul who died about 475.


19. St Benedict of Alignan was a Benedictine, made abbot of Nôtre Dame de la Grasse in 1224 and Bishop of Marseille in 1229. He twice visited Palaestine, in 1239–1242 and 1260–1262, where he helped the Knights Templar build the great castle of Safet. He founded a short-lived order, the Brothers of the Virgin Mary, which was suppressed by the Council of Lyon in 1274. He died a Franciscan. His writings include a letter to Pope Innocent IV and De Summa Trinitate et Fide Catholica in Decretalibus, from about 1260. Someone in his following wrote De constructione castri Saphet.

21. St Disibod was an Irish monk and hermit, first mentioned in a martyrologium by Hrabanus Maurus (9th century). Hildegard of Bingen around 1170 composed a Vita of Saint Disibod. He is commemorated on September 8. After working for 10 years in the Vosges and the Ardennes, he arrived near Odernheim am Glan and started teaching there. After his death, the monastery was founded. The Normans and the Hungarians plundered and destroyed the site several times, but Archbishop Willigis of Mainz rebuilt the church and monastery in the 10th century. It was home to famed saint Hildegard Von Bingen throughout much of the 12th century. According to Hildegard's Vita, Disibod came to the Frankish Empire in 640 as a missionary, accompanied by his disciples Giswald, Clemens and Sallust. They were active in the Vosges and Ardennes, until, guided by a dream, Disibod built a cell at the confluence of the rivers Nahe and Glan, the location of the later monastery of Disibodenberg. Disibodenberg is now a ruined monastery in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

38. St Procopius of Scythopolis, martyred July 7, 303, is venerated as a martyr and saint. He was a famous ascetic and erudite theologian and philosopher.

2. Peter Vigne, a long-standing tradition relates that as a teenager, Peter Vigne, of Privas, France, abandoned the Christian faith and set out for Geneva, Switzerland with the intent of becoming a Protestant minister. Along the way, he passed a priest carrying the Viaticum to an invalid. Peter's refusal to acknowledge the Blessed Sacrament with any act of reverence did not sit well with his horse, for it reared itself and threw him to the ground. The young man suddenly found himself on his knees before the Eucharist. The remarkable incident brought about an immediate conversion, prompting Peter to re-direct his steps to the seminary of Viviers. After becoming a priest and a Vincentian religious, he obtained permission from his superiors to serve as an itinerant preacher in the French countryside. In and around the village of Boucieu-le-Roi, he erected a series of thirty-nine Stations of the Cross, for which he recruited several young women to assist pilgrims in praying at the outdoor shrines. From this apostolate arose a new congregation, the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, devoted to perpetual Eucharistic adoration. Died July 8, 1740. Not yet adjudicated upon by a Catholic pope.

DOUBTFUL

1. The Martyrs Abda and Sabas, it seems that this is copied blindly from the Byzantine heretics.

DAMNED
