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."

"This Most Holy Roman Church... firmly believes, professes, and proclaims that those not living within the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics, cannot become participants in eternal life, but will depart 'into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels' (Matt. xxv, 41), unless, before the end of life, the same have been added to the flock; and that the unity of the ecclesiastical body is so strong, that only to those remaining in it, are the sacraments of the Church of benefit for salvation, and do fastings, almsgiving, and other functions of piety and exercises of Christian service produce eternal reward, and that no one, whatever almsgiving he has practiced, even if he has shed blood for the name of Christ, can be saved, unless he has remained in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church."- Holy & Ecumenical Council of Florence, under Pope Eugene IV, following St. Fulgentius of Ruspa, disciple of St. Augustine of Hippo. |
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.
Our Lady of the Burning Bush
The title, Our Lady of the Bush, recalls the miracle witnessed by Moses himself in the Old Testament. In the third chapter of Exodus, God calls Moses to Mount Horeb, from the middle of a bush that was burning as an open fire, but without being consumed, he hears the voice of God who communicates to him the task of saving the Jews from slavery in Egypt. On that occasion God confides his name to Moses: "I am who I am" (Exodus 3.14). The miracle of the Burning Bush therefore consists of a prefiguration of the birth of Jesus from the Virgin Mary. The Virgin gave birth to Christ while remaining unconsumed, exactly like the bush that burns but is not consumed. Christian tradition has given more than one explanation for the phenomenon of the Burning Bush. The most common and constant interpretation is presented in a Christological and Marian key. Recognizing the fire as the symbol of Divinity and the Bush as the symbol of humanity, the phenomenon was seen as a prefiguration of the Incarnation of Christ through Mary. Mary herself, instrument and place of the Incarnation, not only was not annihilated by her tremendous interaction with Divinity, but she also preserved her virginity intact. The Greek Fathers interpreted the Burning Bush as a prefiguration of the Mother of God. The Byzantine liturgy sees in it a shining prophecy of the virginal conception of Jesus:«Moses foreshadowed you as the burning bush of Sinai. You received, without being consumed, the unbearable fire of the divine essence, which unites a divine hypostasis with the fragility of the flesh.»
The Mariological interpretation of the burning bush has also entered the Roman liturgy:«Like the bush that Moses saw burning intact, your virginity is intact, Mother of God: we praise you, you pray for us.»
The Bush thus became a symbol and name of the Virgin Mary.
The Liturgy often returns to the theme of the Bush, symbol and name of the Most Holy Mary, as can be seen in the following texts:«You are the bush that Moses saw:
St Severus, Patriarch of Antioch said that:
it was full of fire and did not burn.
For the Son of God came and descended into your womb,
And the fire of His Divinity did not burn your body.
You are the bush seen by Moses in the midst of the flames
And which was not consumed, who is the Son of the Lord.
He came and dwelt in your bowels,
And the fire of His Divinity did not consume your flesh."»«Mary's womb is like the bush in which the theophanic fire descends and in which Jehovah makes Himself present and experienceable to Moses»
And adds:«When I turn my gaze to the Virgin Mother of God and try to outline a simple thought about her, from the beginning I seem to hear a voice that comes from God and shouts in my ear: 'Do not come near! Take off your sandals from her feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground!... Approaching her is like approaching holy land and reaching Heaven.»
- + The Feast of the Stigmatas of St Francis of Assisi. While he was praying on the mountain of Verna, during a forty-day fast in preparation for Michaelmas (September 29), Francis is said to have had a vision on or about September 13, 1224 A.D., the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, as a result of which he received the stigmata. Brother Leo, who had been with Francis at the time, left a clear and simple account of the event, the first definite account of the phenomenon of stigmata. "Suddenly he saw a vision of a seraph, a six-winged angel on a cross. This angel gave him the gift of the five wounds of Christ." Suffering from these stigmata and from trachoma, Francis received care in several cities (Siena, Cortona, Nocera) to no avail. In the end, he was brought back to a hut next to the Portiuncola. Here he spent his last days dictating his spiritual testament. He died on the evening of Saturday, October 3, 1226, singing the Psalm 141, "Voce mea ad Dominum," (Psalm 142 in Protestant Bibles). The Liturgical Feast of the Stigmatization of St. Francis is fixed by the Holy Mother Church for September 17.
- + The Holy Martyrs of Britain Saints Socrates and Stephen, martyrs under Emperor Diocletianus, in Roman Britain, now South Wales.
- + The Holy Martyrs of Liege Saints Lambert, bishop of Maastricht, and 2 of his nephews, Peter and Andolet or Audolet. Lambert was from a noble family of Maastricht, Flanders, now in Belgium, educated by St. Theodard and succeeding him as bishop of Tongres-Maastricht in 668 when Theodard was murdered. He was driven from his see by Ebroin, the tyrannical Majordomo of the royal palace, and lived as a Benedictine monk in Stavelot until 681, when he was allowed to return by the new Majordomo Pepin of Heristal. When Lambert denounced Pepin for his liaison with his mistress Alpaida, the mother of Charles Martel, for adultery, he was murdered in Liege, Belgium. Lambert was the son of Apre, lord of Loon, and his wife Herisplindis, both from noble families of Maastricht. The child was baptized by his godfather, the local bishop Remaclus, and educated by Landoald, archpriest of the city and head of the noble abbey school in Wintershoven. Lambert was related to the seneschal Hugobert, the father of Plectrude, who was Pepin of Herstal's lawful wife. He was thus an in-law of hereditary mayors of the palace who controlled the Merovingian kings of Austrasia. Lambert appears to have frequented the Merovingian court of King Childeric II, and was a protégé of his uncle, Theodard, who succeeded Remaclus as bishop of Maastricht. He is described by early biographers as "a prudent young man of pleasing looks, courteous and well-behaved in his speech and manners, well-built, strong, a good fighter, clear-headed, affectionate, pure and humble, and fond of reading." When Theodard was murdered soon after 669, the councillors of Childeric made Lambert bishop of Maastricht. After Childeric himself was murdered in 675, the faction of Ebroin, majordomo of Neustria and the power behind that throne, expelled him from his see, in favor of their candidate, Faramond. Lambert spent seven years in exile at the recently founded Abbey of Stavelot (674–681). With a change in the turbulent political fortunes of the time, Pepin of Herstal became mayor of the palace and Lambert was allowed to return to his see. In company with St. Willibrord, who had come from England in 691, Lambert preached the gospel in the lower stretches of the Meuse, in the area to the north. In conjunction with Landrada he founded a convent at Munsterblizen. Lambert was also the spiritual director of the young noble St. Hubert, eldest son of Bertrand, Duke of Aquitaine. Hubert would later succeed Lambert as bishop of Maastricht. Lambert denounced Pepin's adulterous liaison with Alpaida, who was to become the mother of Charles Martel, himself the grandfather of Emperor St. Charles the Great, Charlemagne. This aroused the enmity of either Pepin, Alpaida, or both. The bishop was murdered at Liège by the troops of Dodon, Pepin's domesticus (manager of state domains), father or brother of Alpaida. The year of his death is variously given for some time between 705 and 709. Lambert came to be viewed as a martyr for his defense of marital fidelity. Lambert's two nephews, Peter and Audolet, were also killed defending their uncle. They too, were viewed as saints. Although Lambert was buried at Maastricht, his successor as bishop, Hubertus, translated his relics to Liège, to which the see of Maastricht was eventually moved. To enshrine Lambert's relics, Hubertus, built a basilica near Lambert's residence which became the true nucleus of the city. The shrine became St. Lambert's Cathedral, destroyed in 1794. Its site is the modern Place Saint-Lambert. Lambert's tomb is now located in the present Liège Cathedral. The Cathedral of Our Lady and St. Lambert in Liège was built in his honor. Saints Peter & Andolet (Adolet, Autlec, Audotec) lived in the 6th century in the Netherlands. They were nephews of St. Lambert . King Clovis III (675-76) granted in 675 a privilege of immunity to the properties belonging to the church of Our Lady in Maastricht. The king's agents were enraged that they could not tax the church, and they finally managed, by pestering the bishop, to provoke a quarrel with two of Lambert's relatives, his nephews Peter & Andolet, who, being attacked, defended themselves and killed the king's agents, the brothers Gallus and Riold. Dodo, a powerful administrator in the royal household and a relative of the men who had been killed, came with members of his own army to take revenge. St. Lambert warned his nephews, Saints Peter & Andolet that they would be killed, and they ended up being murdered on the spot. One of Dodo's men then climbed to the window of Lambert's locked room and threw in a spear, which pierced the bishop from behind and killed him as he knelt in prayer in his house Leodium. The date was September 17 and the year was 705 at the latest. He must have been about seventy years old. From that day Lambert was revered by the faithful as a saint. What was told about Jesus in the Bible had happened to them in Maastricht and Liège. Lambert was succeeded as bishop by his disciple, St. Hubert. Because of his death at the hands of a murderer, Lambert was immediately honored as a martyr. He was buried in his villa where he died, and his two nephews were also buried there. Lambert's servants later brought his and his nephews' bodies in a vessel on the river Meuse to Maastricht, where they were buried in the family vault in the cemetery of St. Peter. This probably means today's church of Sint-Servaas at Vrijthof in Maastricht. But when miracles began to be reported at the place where he died, a church was built there, and on May 31, 716, Lambert's successor St. Hubert returned the relics of him and his two nephews to this new church of St. Lambert. The three (Saints Lambert, Peter & Andolet) were buried along with the sarcophagus of the relics of St. Floribert. The city of Liège or Luik or Lüttich arose around this church, and the church became the diocese's cathedral when St. Hubert probably as early as 723 made Liège his episcopal seat instead of Maastricht. On 14 April 1489 the remains of Saints Lambert, Peter and Andolet were examined by an episcopal commission, and when their bodies were found intact, the sarcophagi were closed again. Later, in the same year, due to the sad times of war, they were solemnly carried around Liège in procession and subjected to public veneration. Peter and Andolet are celebrated on the same day that their uncle is celebrated, September 17.
- + The Holy Martyrs of Noviodonum, now Isaccea in Romania Saints Valerianus, Niacrinus, & Gordianus, uncertain date.
- + The Holy Martyrs of Rome Saints Narcissus and Crescentius, mentioned in the Acts of St. Lawrence the Martyr. According to that generally authentic source, Narcissus owned a house at which Lawrence distributed alms to the poor and cured Narcissus of blindness. A cemetery on the Via Salaria is named after Crescentius.
- + The Holy Martyrs of Spain Saints Timothy Valero Pérez, John Ventura Solsona and Alvaro Santos Cejudo Moreno Chocano, murdered, martyred by Communist terrorists, Sept. 17, 1936 A.D..
- + St. Agathoclia. Virgin, martyr, patron saint of Mequinenza, in Aragon, and of the Kingdom of Aragon in Spain. She was a slave who suffered for the faith in a public trial. She was a virgin Christian slave owned by two people who had apostatized, named Nicholas and Paulina. They subjected Agathoclia to regular physical abuse, including whipping and other violence, in an effort to get Agathoclia to renounce her faith. She repeatedly refused to do so. Her owners then subjected her to a public trial by a local magistrate. There too, she refused to renounce Christianity, which subjected her to savage mangling from the authorities. Her sentence included having her tongue cut out. She was then burned to death.
- + St. Anthony Morell was a leader, the Master-General, of the Mercedarian order, 1480 – 1492 A.D. St. Anthony had sent the Holy Martyrs of Granada Saints John of Zorroza and John of Huete as Ransomners into parts of Spain still occupied by the Mahomettan Infidels, where they were martyred, May 1, 1482, by the Mahomettan Infidels.
- + St. Ariadne was a slave in the household of a Phrygian prince. When pagan rites were performed in honor of the prince's birthday, she refused to take part, and fled. Hunted, she entered a chasm in a ridge, which chasm then miraculously closed behind her, providing her with a tomb.
- + St. Brogan 7th. Century abbot of Ross Tuirc, Ossory, Ireland. Author of a hymn to St. Brigit. Others of the same or similar names, Broccan, Bracan, Brogan, etc., and of the sixth or seventh century, are venerated on Jan. 1. Apr. 9, June 27, July 8 and Aug. 25.
- + St. Columba. A Spanish virgin and martyr of Cordoba. She served as a nun at Tabanos until the Mahomettan persecution started in 852. Going to Cordoba, she denounced the false prophet Mahomet, and Mahomettanism, and was martyred by beheading. Columba was born in Córdoba, Spain, the youngest of three children. According to St. Alban Butler, Columba's biography was recorded by St. Eulogius of Cordoba, in his The Memorial of the Saints, his account of the persecution in Spain that began in 850. Her sisters Elizabeth and Martina, along with Elizabeth's husband, founded a double monastery at Tabanos, a mountainous region north of Córdoba. Columba's brother Martin was abbot of the men's section of the monastery. Columba was inspired by their example and was determined to become a nun, but her plans were, for a short time, thwarted by her mother, a widow who wanted Columba to marry. Shortly after her mother realized that her opposition was fruitless, she died, and Columba entered Tabanos. In 852, after the persecution in Spain had been going on for two years, the community was forced out of Tabanos and took refuge in a house in Cordoba, near the church of St. Cyprian. She ignored the bishops' ruling not to provoke persecution, left the house, presented herself before the town's Muslim magistrate or ”qazi”, and denounced Muhammed and his law. The magistrate condemned her to be beheaded, which was done on September 17, 853. She was the sixth martyr executed under Mohammed I, and was one of the Collective of 48 Martyrs of Córdoba. Her body was thrown into the Guadalquivir Marshes, but was recovered by other Christians and buried at the basilica of St. Eulalia at Fragellas. Her relics are reported to be taken later to and venerated at two churches, the abbey of Santa Maria de Najera and to its dependent priory, which was dedicated to St. Columba.
- + St. Emmanuel Trieu Van Nguyen. A native Vietnamese, the son of Joseph Trieu and Margaret, and an ordained priest. his father was a soldier. He chose a career in arms at a very young age and entered the service of Trinh Khai, which he eventually left when the latter and his army were defeated. A Catholic, he then decided to become a priest. He was admitted to the Seminary in the town of Trung Linh by Mgr Emmanuel Obelar. Ordained priest, he became a faithful collaborator of the MEP. During a visit to his mother, he was arrested in the anti-Christian persecution under the Emperor Canh Thinh, or Nguyễn Quang Toản, and martyred by beheading, at Hue, in Tonkin, Vietnam, September 17, 1798. In 1803, Mgr Jean de Labartette , the local bishop, originally from Bayeux and belonging to the Foreign Missions of Paris (MEP), recovered the remains of Emmanuel Nguyen Van Trieu and placed them in the parish church of Duong Son. Furthermore, on July 21, 1996, the remains of the saint were transferred to the parish church of Tho Duc (birthplace of Emmanuel Nguyen Van Trieu's mother, where he had been baptized). Only the head of the saint is now preserved in the parish church of Duong Son, archdiocese of Hue. The impious Nguyễn Quang Toản was later captured by his enemies, and was executed by slow slicing, then dismembered by having five elephants pull the limbs and head apart. St. Emmanuel was beatified in 1900 by Pope Leo XIII. Not yet canonized by a Catholic Pope.
- + St. Flocellus. Martyr at Autun, France, in the reign of Marcus Aurelius. A young man, Flocellus was tortured almost to the point of death and thrown to wild beasts.
- + St. Francis Mary Croese, baptized as John Croese. Croese became a Capuchin beggar in Genoa where he sought alms from people and was at first heckled and assaulted before his reputation for personal holiness spread which prompted people to come and see him. In an epidemic of cholera sometime in August 1866 he gave his help to the victims of the plague but soon contracted the disease himself and died not too long after. His birthday in the Lord is variously given as September 17, 1866 and May 11, 1866 A.D. The Genoese people called him - and continue to call him - "Padre Santo" due to his holiness. His remains rest in a chapel at the Immaculate Conception convent since being transferred there in 1911. The sainthood process commenced under Pope Leo XIII on August 9, 1896 in which he was designated as a Servant of God. Pope Pius XI confirmed that he had lived a life of heroic virtue on December 18, 1922 and so designated him as Venerable while later approving two miracles attributed to his intercession and presiding over his beatification as a result on June 30, 1929. Never canonized by a Catholic Pope.
- + St. Hildegard, also known as St. Hildegard of Bingen. She was also a writer, composer, philosopher, Christian mystic, and German Benedictine abbess. She was born around 1098 A.D. to a noble family as the youngest of ten children. Her parents had promised their sick daughter to God, so they placed her in care of a Benedictine nun, Blessed Jutta, in the Diocese of Speyer at 8-years-old. She was taught how to read and sing the Latin psalms. Her holiness and strong piety made her adored by all who met her. It is said, from this young age, Hildegard began experiencing her visions. When Hildegard turned 18, she became a Benedictine nun at the Monastery of St. Disibodenberg. After Jutta died in 1136, Hildegard was elected superior. Her unique nature and strong devotion to the Holy Ghost attracted many novices to the convent. The rapid growth alarmed Hildegard. She soon moved on with eighteen other sisters to found a new Benedictine house near Bingen in 1148 and later establish a convent in Eibingen in 1165. She believed this was Divine command. Hildegard quickly became recognized for her immense knowledge of all things faithful, music and natural science, with knowledge of herbs and medicinal arts, despite never having any formal education and not knowing how to write. Much of her insight is believed to have been communicated by God himself through her frequent visions. At first, Hildegard did not want to make her visions public, but she would confide in her spiritual director. He passed on the knowledge to his abbot, who decided to assign a monk to document everything Hildegard saw. Her accounts were later submitted to the bishop, who acknowledged them as being truly from God. Her visions were then brought to Pope Eugenius III with a favorable conclusion. Hildegard's fame began to spread all throughout Europe. People traveled near and far to hear her speak and to seek help from her, even those who were not common people paid Hildegard a visit. For remainder of her life, Hildegard continued her writings. Her principle work is called the Scivias. Twenty-six of her visions and their meanings are recorded. Hildegarde wrote on many other subjects, too. Her works included commentaries on the Gospels, the Athanasian Creed, and the Rule of St. Benedict, as well as Lives of the Saints and a medical work on the well-being of the body. Hildegard also became an important person in the history of music. There are more chant compositions surviving by St. Hildegard than any other medieval composer. The last year of St. Hildegard's life was difficult for her and her convent. Going against the wishes of diocesan authorities, Hildegard refused to remove the body of a young man buried in the cemetery attached to her convent. The boy had previously been excommunicated, but since he received his last sacraments before dying, Hildegard felt he had been reconciled to the Church. Her convent was placed under an interdict by the bishop and chapter of Mainz. Months would pass before the interdict was lifted and Hildegard died on September 17, 1179, before the interdict was lifted. She was buried in the church of Rupertsburg. When the convent was destroyed in 1632 A.D., her relics were moved to Cologne and then to Eibingen. After her death, she became even more venerated than she was in her life. According to her biographer, Theodoric, she was always a saint and through her intercession, many miracles occurred. St. Hildegard became one of the first people the Roman canonization process was officially applied to. It took quite some time in the beginning stages, so she remained beatified. Not as yet canonized by a Catholic Pope.
- + St. Huno. Bishop and missionary, also called Huno and Unno. Originally a Benedictine monk at New Corvey. in Saxony. Germany, he received appointment in 917 to the post of bishop of Bremen-Hamburg. As bishop. he strove to evangelize Denmark and Sweden, enjoying considerable success in his efforts. St. Unni was an archbishop of Hamburg-Bremen (916 – 17 September 936). He died as a missionary in Birka in Sweden, where he tried to continue Ansgar's work. According to Adam of Bremen, his body was buried in Birka, but his head was entombed in Bremen Cathedral. When the altar was taken down in 1840, a leaden plate was found with the inscription "VNNIS ARCHIEP(is)-C(opus)." After Ansgar and Rimbert of Turholt, epithetized Apostle of the North and second Apostle of the North, Unni is revered as third Apostle of the North and as a Saint.
- + St. Justin, a priest martyred at Rome for burying the remains of other Christian martyrs. His relics were translated to Frisingen, Germany.
- + St. Peter de Arbues. He was born was born at Épila in the region of Zaragoza or Saragossa to the nobleman Anthony de Arbués and Sancia Ruiz in Aragon, Spain. He first studied at Huesca, but later travelled to Bologna on a scholarship to the Spanish College of St. Clement which was part of the University of Bologna and obtained his doctorate in Canon Law, in 1473 while he served as a professor of moral philosophical studies or ethics. Upon his return to Spain he made his religious profession in 1474. In 1478, he was made member of the cathedral chapter of the canons regular at La Seo at Saragossa. In 1484 he received appointment as Inquisitor of Aragon and soon earned the enmity of the Marranos, Jews who had been given the option of converting to Catholicism, or being expelled from Spain, and who were widely reputed to secretly practicing Judaism. Those Jews who had received baptism were known as conversos; some had continued to practice Judaism in secret, and were called 'judaizantes'. At around that time Ferdinand and Isabella had obtained from Pope Sixtus IV a papal bull to establish in their kingdom a tribunal for searching out heretics, the Inquisition had been first established in Spain in Aragón, 14th century, to counteract the Catharism heresy. In 1483, Thomas de Torquemada, a Spaniard with a reputedly Marrano surname, was appointed as the Grand Inquisitor for Castile. Torquemada then appointed Arbués and Pedro Gaspar Juglar as Inquisitors Provincial in the Kingdom of Aragon on May 4, 1484. The Inquisition was unpopular in Aragon as it was seen as a Castilian attack on the charters, privileges and local laws. On September 14, 1485 Peter of Arbues was attacked in the La Seo Cathedral in Zaragoza or Saragossa as he knelt before the altar and had been wearing armor since he knew his work posed great risks. Despite wearing a helmet and chain mail under the tunic he died from his wounds on September 17. His remains were entombed in a special chapel dedicated to him. As a result, a popular movement against the crypto-Jews arose, he came to be swiftly venerated through popular acclaim. His death greatly assisted the Inquisitor-General Thomas de Torquemada's campaign against heretics and crypto-Jews. The most powerful families among the converted Jews, the Sánchez, Montesa, Abadia, Paterno and Santangel families were alleged to have been involved in funding the murder. Nine crypto-Jews were convicted, and executed, two killed themselves, thirteen were burnt in effigy, and four punished for complicity, from June 30 to December 15, 1486. Pope Alexander VII beatified Pedro de Arbues in Rome April 20, 1664. His canonization was celebrated June 29, 1867 among protests from Jews and bad Christians. Pope Pius IX said in the document formalizing the canonization, Maiorem caritatem: "The divine wisdom has arranged that in these sad days, when Jews help the enemies of the church with their books and money, this decree of sanctity has been brought to fulfillment."
- + St. Rading. Benedictine abbot, also listed as Rouin and Roding. Originally from Ireland, he went to Germany and found much success preaching and converting the local pagans. After spending time in the monastery of Tholey, near Trier, Germany, he pursued a hermit's life in the Argonne forest, France, where he soon attracted followers and founded the community which was later called Beaulieu.
- + St. Reginald. Reginald was a canon at Soissons. He then joined Robert von Arbrissel in his collegiate monastery in La Roë near Craon near Laval and placed himself under his spiritual direction until he withdrew as a hermit in a forest near La Flèche - on the site of Mélinais Castle - where he died. In 1180, Reginald's hermitage became the Augustinian monastery of Saint-Jean de Mélinais, where Reginald's relics were kept. The monastery quickly became one of the richest in the Anjou - the area around Angers. The monastery was "confiscated" and sold off by the Marrano traitors and Apostates during the French Revolution in 1791 and the relics were lost. The monastery buildings were later largely demolished and the Chateau du Melinais was built in their place.
- + St. Satyrus. Confessor and brother of Sts. Ambrose and Marcellina. Born at Trier, Germany, he moved to Rome with his family and was subsequently trained as a lawyer. Appointed prefect to one of the Roman provinces, he resigned his post when Ambrose became archbishop of Milan in order to assume administration of the secular affairs of the archdiocese.
