MAJOR AND/OR GREAT FEASTS
Flee From Satan's Church
When Pope Pius XII died in October 1958, Public, Pertinacious and Manifest Satanists seized the Vatican Basilica and from there masquerade as the Catholic Church.However, Catholic Law excludes Public, Pertinacious and Manifest Heretics and Apostates from the Catholic Church, and all their pretended "acts" are null and void.
All who observe and pretend to legitimize the Pretensions and Masquerades of these Satanists, thereby certify themselves satanists, and that their "gods" are the Demons Ganpati, Allah, etc., the "gods" of the Accursed Latrocinium of "Vatican2."
God Demands Obedience And Excludes All False 'gods'
Thou shalt not have strange gods before me." Exodus xx, 2-3; http://drbo.org/chapter/02020.htmFor what participation hath justice with injustice?
Or what fellowship hath light with darkness?
And what concord hath Christ with Belial?
Or what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever?
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
For you are the temple of the living God; as God saith: I will dwell in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Wherefore, Go out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing:
And I will receive you; and I will be a Father to you; and you shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." (2 Corinthians vi, 14 fl.; http://drbo.org/chapter/54006.htm)
And they said: we will not walk.
And I appointed watchmen over you, saying: Hearken ye to the sound of the trumpet.
And they said: We will not hearken." (Jeremias vi, 16-17; http://drbo.org/chapter/28006.htm)
God's Firewall Against Satan and Satan's Lies of Pretended "New Gospels" eg Montanism, Mahomettanism, Waldensianism, Lutheranism, Calvinism, Modernism, etc.
Which is not another, only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be accursed." Galatians 1, 6-9 http://drbo.org/chapter/55001.htm
He that continues in the doctrine, the same has both the Father and the Son.
If any man come to you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into the house nor say to him, God speed you (Best wishes).
For he that says unto him, God speed you, takes part with his wicked works." 2nd Epistle of St. John i, 9-11; http://drbo.org/chapter/70001.htm
Proof of Satanism
Please read this page for context: https://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/b021ht_Guru.htm.That Antipopes Roncalli, Montini, Luciani, Wojtyla, Ratzinger & Bergoglio were and are Satanists is evident from the Bible, particularly the First Commandment.
The ability to discern and distinguish between Christians and Satanists is proof of whether one is a Christian or a Satanist.
The refusal to acknowledge that the Antipopes Roncalli, Montini, Luciani, Wojtyla, Ratzinger & Bergoglio were and are Public, Pertinacious and Manifest Satanists and heads of a non-Catholic sect, is proof that one is a Satanist, a public enemy of the Living God.
MARIAN FEASTS
September 11: Our Lady of Hildesheim near Brunswick in Germany.
The Abbot Matthew Orsini wrote: "Our Lady of Hildesheim, in the duchy of Brunswick, in Germany. An image is there venerated, which Louis the Meek always wore about him. One day, when he had forgotten it in a wood, it became so heavy that it was impossible to remove it, which made the king resolve to build a church there." Saint Mary's Cathedral at Hildesheim, Germany, is a medieval cathedral built between the years 1010 and 1020. It is a Romanesque style structure, with thick walls and heavy towers. During World War II the cathedral was almost completely destroyed from allied bombing, although it was later rebuilt as closely as possible to its original appearance. It is listed on the World Cultural Heritage list since 1985. There are many medieval treasures that can still be seen inside the cathedral, but there is no mention of an image once venerated by King Louis the Meek. There is a statue, known as the Tintenfassmadonna on display inside the cathedral, which is thought to date from the 15th century. The Blessed Virgin wears a blue coat over a white tunic, as well as a large gold crown with five trifoliate lilies. On her left arm sits the Divine Child Jesus. He holds a pen in his right hand, and there is an unrolled scroll that reaches to His feet. Could it be the Book of Life, upon which is written the names of the saved? There is also what is said to be a one-thousand year old rosebush that is climbing the wall of the cathedral's apse. The bush survived the bombing of the cathedral in 1945, as the roots remained alive beneath the rubble, and according to legend, Hildesheim will continue to be prosperous as long as the rosebush continues to flourish.September 11, 1952: Feast of the Pontifical Coronation of the Miraculous Icon of Our Lady of Coromoto
Our Lady of Coromoto is called in Castillian ("Spanish") Nuestra Señora de Coromoto, and is also known as the Virgin of Coromoto or El Virgen de Coromoto, a celebrated Christian icon from an apparition of the Virgin Mary in 1652. In 1942, she was declared the Patroness of Venezuela.
Narrative I: Guanare was founded in 1591 by a Spanish captain, on the edge of the Sierra Nevada de Merida. When the city of Guanare, capital of the province of Portuguesa, was founded in 1591, the Indian tribe who inhabited the region, the Cospes, fled to the northern jungle. When the Christian Church began to evangelize, its efforts were at first resisted. The Virgin Mary appeared twice to the chief of the local tribe, once in 1651 in a river canyon when she told him to be baptised, and again, when he was still refusing baptism, on September 8, 1652, when she appeared in his hut. This time he is said to have tried to grab her and she vanished, leaving behind a small painting of her. The Venezuelan episcopate declared her as Patroness of Venezuela on 1 May 1942, which was ratified by Pope Pius XII on 7 October 1944.
Narrative II: When the city of Guanare, capital of the province of Portuguesa, was founded in 1591, the native nation of the region, the Cospes, fled to the forest to the north of the city to escape the Christians, making it difficult to evangelize the area. The first apparition took place in 1651: Our Lady appeared to, and advised, the Cacique (Chief) of the Cospes, Coromoto, and his wife, "Go to the house of whites and ask them to baptize you." The Cacique narrated this to his encomendero, John Sanchez; he asked him to prepare himself with his tribe to receive catechesis & baptism within eight days. A large number of Cospes repented & were baptized, but not the Cacique, who changed his mind and refused baptism. At this point, on September 8, 1652, Our Lady appeared a 2nd time to him. Coromoto, blinded by anger, attempted to shoot an arrow at her, then to stab her, but she disappeared leaving in his hands a miraculous icon on tree bark fiber parchment, which he concealed. His nephew however, informed John Sanchez of the happening, and John then took possession of the miraculous icon. Coromoto then fled the place into the forests, but in his flight, he was bitten by a poisonous snake: on returning to Guanare, on the verge of dying, he asked for baptism from a Barinese. Coromoto would be cured of the poison, asking the Cospes, who under his command had opposed the Christians, to be baptized. Pope Pius XII, in 1950, confirmed Our Lady of Coromoto as the Patrona, or Patroness, of Venezuela.
Narrative III: Guanare was founded in 1591 by a Spanish captain, on the edge of the Sierra Nevada de Merida. However, it was necessary to convince the Indians, accustomed to living in freedom, to leave the forest and cultivate the land. The native nation, the Cospes, preferred to hide in the mountains. For several decades they were not heard of again, until in 1651, something happened. The chief of the tribe, the Cacique Coromoto, was walking along the Rio Guanare with his wife one day, when a beautiful lady appeared on the water, holding a child radiant with light in her arms. Coromoto and his wife remained as if paralyzed by the vision, but the lady smiling, reassured them by addressing them in their own language. "Get out of the woods," she said to Coromoto, "and go to the place where the white people live to receive the water on their heads and thus be able to go to heaven." These words were spoken by Our Lady with such gentleness and sweetness that Coromoto was immediately convinced. When a Spanish farmer, a certain John Sanchez, passed by the following summer, the Indian stood in front of him to tell him what the beautiful Lady had ordered him a year earlier, adding that all his tribe wanted to receive water on the head. After a few catechism lessons, the Indians were baptized, all except the Cacique, who regretted the life of the forest and for the sake of freedom did not want any bonds whatsoever. An Indian chief, he thought, was not suited to obedience to the white man, not even in the face of the evidence of the apparition he had witnessed. On the evening of September 8, 1652, a Saturday, the newly converted Indians were all gathered to pray to the Holy Virgin. John Sanchez had also invited Coromoto, but the indignant Indian chief had gone to shut himself up in his straw hut. Here he was joined by his wife, sister-in-law and her son, a little twelve-year-old Indian. Only a few minutes had passed when the humble hut was brightly lit: at the entrance there was still that beautiful Lady, who appeared as bright as the rays of the sun at noon. Coromoto believed that she had come to prevent him from returning to his beloved forest and felt his disappointment grow. "How long will you haunt me?" He cried. "You can also go", he added, "because I will never do what you order!" His wife, ashamed of so much disrespect, admonished him, "Don't talk like that to the beautiful lady!" But the Cacique, now in the grip of anger, grabbed his bow yelling: "I will kill you!" At this point the beautiful Lady, who until now had remained on the threshold, entered the hut. The Indian chief then threw himself at her, trying to grab her neck to choke her. But in that same instant the celestial vision disappeared and the hut plunged back into darkness. The apparition had vanished, yet Coromoto was sure he was clutching something inside his fist. "I got it!" he shouted to the two astonished women. "I hold it here in my hand!" "Show it to us," these said. The Indian chief then opened his fingers and the hut was again brightly lit. The light came from a small piece of parchment on which an image of the Madonna and Child was imprinted. Coromoto wrapped it in a leaf and hid it among the straw of the bed. The Indian child, his nephew, was afraid that his uncle would destroy that little parchment and ran out of the hut to John Sanchez' house to tell him what had happened. Thus the Spaniard saved the miraculous image. In the meantime, however, the Cacique had decided to take the road to the mountains, away from the whites and safe, he thought, from the beautiful Lady. But he could not leave the village: as soon as he entered the forest he was bitten by a poisonous snake. Was it a punishment from heaven? The Indian chief interpreted it as such, and seeing himself mortally wounded, he finally decided to get baptized. A Creole from Barinas passed by, by chance, who, as every Christian is allowed in cases of extreme necessity, administered baptism to him. Coromoto went into agony and died shortly thereafter, after recommending all his people to convert to Christianity. The miraculous image of the Virgin remained for more than a year in John Sanchez' house, until on February 1, 1654 it was transferred with a solemn procession to Guanare. It remained there until 1949, when it was brought back to the place of the apparition.September 11: Our Lady of Monte Bonica or Bunica in Masone, Liguria, Italy.
On September 11, 1595, Our Lady appeared to the inhabitants of the neighboring villages ofn Campo Ligure & Masone, two villages in the Stura Valley. The two communities were divided by political reasons and parochial enmities and had been in bitter conflict for 4 centuries. Between September 5 & 9, 1595, two representatives of the people of Campo went to Vico to implore the grace of peace from the Madonna del Pilone. Upon their return to Campo, on September 10, during vespers in the church, unusual phenomena occurred: some of the congregants fell to the ground unconscious, a woman known as an idiot, in full mystical fervor, began to pronounce words of notable content spiritual, etc.
The next day, the men of Campo met with those of Masone & reached peace, which they celebrated together by participating in a mass in Masone. Once the celebration was over, everyone saw a very white cloud on Mount Bonica that seemed to be made up of a large army of people. This soon vanished, to give way to another equally brilliant cloud, shaped like a chapel. Once that had disappeared, a woman appeared further down, dressed in a blue cloak, with one arm outside her, and a white veil on her head, as nuns use, with her face so shining that it was impossible to look into her eyes. Behind her were two other women. Subsequently, yet another very white and shining cloud appeared, shaped like a tower, who soon transformed into a Woman dressed in white, who walked quickly over the woods, quickly crossing them down to the valley and then disappearing. She reappeared again at the top of the mountain, still dressed in white, with a white veil on her head, accompanied by two women placed on either side of her, also dressed in white, who stood in an act of reverence. The apparitions were preceded by 4 cases of healing.

- + The Holy Martyrs of La Muela: St. Baldassarre Velasquez, a Mercedarian friar, he was seized by Mahomettan Infidel raiders in La Muela, Zaragoza, Spain, and ordered by them to renounce Christianiity. Instead, Baldassarre began preaching against them, their vices, their wickedness. He was then executed by being shot with arrows, in 1588, with 16 other Christians whose names have not come down to us.
- + The Holy Martyrs of Laodicea in Syria, now Latakia in Syria, Saints Diodorus, Diomedes, and Didimus.
- + The Holy Martyrs of Rome, Saints Protus and Hyacinth, brothers and eunuchs in the service of Saints Philip & Eugenia, who were arrested, in the time of the emperor Gallienus, on the charge of being Christians, and urged to offer sacrifice to the demons.

- + The Holy Martyrs of Zurich Saints Felix and Regula, Egyptian brothers, soldiers in the Thebean Legion, and their attendant Eruperantius or Exuperantius. In the Thebean Legion, whose leader was St. Mauritius, there were two brothers, named Felix and Regula, attended by an old venerable servant named Eruperantius. When the tyrant Maximian had the Thebean Legionaries executed at Agaunum, because of their refusal to sacrifice to the demons, they escaped and went to the land of Uri and from there to the land of Glarus, which was not much populated at that time. There they settled not far from Glarus, in a wilderness on a mountain in a cave. Through their example and their conversations, they introduced the people of the country to the Christian religion. When they had converted most of the people around to the Christian faith, they moved to the old city of Zurich, where there were already some Christians. Here they became a lamp of the Gospel for believers and Gentiles. In the meantime, the governor or consul Decius had received orders from the Emperors Diocletianus and Maximianus to persecute the Christians and, in particular, to track down the refugees from the massacre of the Thebean Legion & to force them to sacrifice to the demons. The governor sent his servants to spy on the Christians. After a while, Felix and his comrades were discovered & taken to the governor. When he threatened them with terrible torture if they would not sacrifice to the demons, they replied, "Our bodies are in your power, but our souls in the hand of Him who created heaven and earth." Furious at such an answer, Decius had them beaten and tortured over several days and in different ways, in order to turn them away from Christ. But the saints praised God in the midst of torment and prayed for help and perfection. Seeing that all attempts and tortures were fruitless, the governor ordered them to be beheaded. This happened in the year 303 A.D.

He was one of those confessors who under Emperor Maximinus lost the right eye, & were hamstrung in one leg, and were afterwards sent to work in the mines. Peace being restored to the Church, Paphnutius returned to his flock, bearing all the rest of his life the glorious marks of his sufferings for the name of his Crucified Master. He was one of the most zealous in defending the Catholic faith against the Arian heresy and for his holiness. As one who had confessed the Faith before persecutors and under torments, he was an outstanding figure of the General Council of the Church held at Nicaea in the year 325. Paphnutius, a man who had observed the strictest continence all his life, is said to have distinguished himself at the Council by his opposition to clerical celibacy. Paphnutius said that it was enough to conform to the ancient tradition of the Church, which forbade the clergy marrying after their ordination. To this day it is the law of the Eastern Churches, whether Catholic or dissident, that married men may receive all Holy Orders below the episcopate, and continue to live freely with their wives. Emperor Contantine the Great used to call St. Paphnutius to confer with him, and would not let him go until he had kissed with reverence the place where his right eye used to be. St. Paphnutius is called "the Great" to distinguish him from other saints of the same name (St. Paphnutius the Buffalo, St. Paphnutius of Boou, etc.); the year of his death is not known. His feast day is September 11.
