Catholic Potpourri

✝️ On August 6, 1456, Catholic forces repelled the Ottomans at Belgrade on the Feast of the Transfiguration. John of Capistrano, leading 2000 peasant crusaders, charged the Ottoman lines, crying: “The Lord, who began the work, will see it through to the end.” Paralyzed by fear, the 5000 Ottoman troops fled, carrying their wounded in 140 wagons. Upon learning of the rout, the deaths of his commanders, and the abandon…

Clovis’ prayer as recorded by Gregory of Tours: O Jesus Christ, you who as Clotilde tells me are the son of the Living God, you who give succor to those who are in danger, and victory to those accorded who hope in Thee, I seek the glory of devotion with your assistance: If you give me victory over these enemies, and if I experience the miracles that the people committed to your name say they have had, I believe in y…

The Battle that converted the Franks When Clovis the First fought against the Alamaannic Tribe in the battle of Tolbiac his army suffered terrible losses, convinced that his gods had abandoned him he turned to the God of his wife, the Christian God He prayed for a victory In return he would convert to Christianity Upon finishing his prayer the Alamaani fled after their leader was killed by an axe and were defeate…

The oldest known Marian Prayer: the Sub Tuum Praesidium Some protestants may claim that the Veneration of Mary only started when the Romans adopted Christianity But this is proven false when you see that this prayer dates to 250-300 Anno Domini, over 80-120 years before Christianity was made the State Religion Christians were already honoring the Virgin Mary

August is dedicated to the IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY❤️‍🔥🗡️

When I posted about Ven. Mary of Agreda, I noted that I didn't know of any other Catholic visionaries who claimed to have been revealed the true age of the world. I recently found out that there is one other: Anne Catherine Emmerich. I saw these false computations of the pagan priests at the same time that I beheld Jesus teaching on the Sabbath at Aruma. Jesus, speaking before the Phar­isees of the Call of Abraham a…

One thing many theologians talk about is how the work of redemption is greater than the work of creation, and therefore had to be accomplished over long ages, in contrast to the creation, which was swift. Note that this applies not only to the creation and redemption of man, but to all of nature as well, since it was made for his sake. There are two works of God, by which all things that have been made are brought t…

One thing everyone should understand in this discourse is the different uses of the term "figurative". As the Saints explain, figurative language is not inherently opposed to the literal sense, unlike symbolic or mystical language. A historical narrative can use figures of speech. When the Saints and Theologians oppose a "figurative" interpretation of Genesis, they mean a purely figurative interpretation, which oppos…

Next, the Book of Genesis is historical, and therefore straightforward; it was written for the unlearned by those who knew their slowness to understand, and thus it must be judged to convey that sense by which such words are ordinarily understood. - Rev. Fr. Bonaventure Baron, O.F.M., Tractatus Catholicus de Divino Opificio Hexameron (Prague, 1744), p. 4.

The French Revolution marks a major turning point in Catholic discourse on Genesis and the world-chronology, due to the work of priests who joined the Revolutionaries. One such juring priest, Fr. Jean-Louis Giraud Soulavie, deserves special attention. A member of the Jacobin Club and a friend of liberals such as Benjamin Franklin, Fr. Soulavie also broke his vows of chastity to live with his mistress. Shortly before …

Sealing Prayer of Protection The person seals himself: I ask Jesus to seal me in His most Precious Blood, against any and all incursions of the evil one, in particular against any clinging, familial, familiar or retaliating spirits, in the Name of the Father and of the Son ✠ and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. ~ Deliverance Prayers for Use by the Laity (2018)
