Then explain the current pope's determination to declare John XXIII a saint.
St. Philolena, pray for the wayward modernist church.
Contrary to popular belief we are not directly affiliated with the Catholic Church, or any diocese or parish. We are however associated with the Catholic Church through our faith lives. The Catholic Company provides us the means to provide for our families and our parish communities. Our staff and their families belong to over 10 parishes in Charlotte, NC and the surrounding area. We also support with our time, talent, and treasure important Catholic organizations throughout our area, including: Belmont Abbey College, Room at the Inn (a home for pregnant single women), and the Knights of Columbus.
They haven't gotten the memo yet ..
"Saint Philomena is the patron of babies, orphans, test takers, youth, and impossible causes. Very little is known about her life as she was martyred in the early years of the Church at the age of fourteen. Saint Philomena's shrine in Mugnano has had numerous cures attributed to it since 1805. She is the only person to be recognized as a Saint solely on the basis of miraculous intercession. St. Philomena's feast day is August 11th.."
post to the “Questions no one is asking” thread pls
There is a St. Philomena parish in Torrance, CA. They wouldn’t have a parish named after her if she weren’t a saint.
My mother’s real name was Filomina and nobody named kids after people who weren’t saints.
She is still a saint. She may not be in the new Roman Missal, but she is still a saint.
I thought all this talk of “decanonizing” saints is really just a pragmatic matter of not enough days in the year for feast days for all of them.
Just because the Missal doesn’t list St. Christopher or any other saint that got bumped doesn’t reflect some kind of reversal of their status.

this is the first I’ve heard of this
