All these posts about the miracles from the intercession of Saint Philomena are great, but they don't answer the problem that the Modernist Vatican has completely eliminated her from it's archives.  As far as your pope is concerned, she never existed.

It's pointless dude. There's like a degree of blindness that seems to be getting more pronounced as time passes. My pseudo ex's folks had it, she got it from them, my Protestant family has it, and it seems like this dude has it.

I never really understood the saying "There are none so blind..." before running into this kind of thing.

It's like if it were a baby's severed head held right in front of their face, they'd just carry on like they're Julie Andrews in "The Sound of Music".

It is bizarre.

I just pointed out how his "pope" said that it is the communists who think like Christians IF anyone does, and he just strolled on like nothing was said, and it impacted what was being discussed, which he also acted as if it was something else, not at all.

Really, really eerie weird.
 
It's like "denial" to the degree of a perpetual psychotic episode, or some kind of Pollyanna variety of Solipsism.

There is a statue of St Philomena in our SSPX church. 

A little over 20 years ago I got a serious bout of depression. the doctor said it was Adrenalin exhaustion that caused it (35 years working with only two weeks holidays to get married). I became aware of dreadful tinnitus, noise in the inner ears that never goes away. I read in a newspaper that ѕυιcιdє is greatest in tinnitus sufferers. I remember telling some that ѕυιcιdє was not an option for me, as I was a Catholic. That got a laugh or two.

For five years I lived in my ears. My mind was in there listening while the rest of me was in he world. I heard of St Philomena, that she helped hopeless cases. I knelt before her statue and asked if she could help me.

I cannot remember how soon after my request I began to cope with my tinnitus. My problem I came to realise was an awareness problem. I was listening to the noise, looking for it and allowing it to dominate my mind. After all those years I could not believe how it went into the background, so much so that it disappeared for most of the time. I will forever be grateful to St Philomena for my 'cure.' The tinnitus is still there, but I no longer listen to it, look for it, or am aware of it. At times it changes tone now and frightens me somewhat, but soon disappears. Oh you have no idea what St Philomena did for me.

Here in Texas the SSPX also has a statue of St. Philomena in both the Queen of Angels parish and in their St. Michael's parish.

My Dad also has devotion to St. Philomena, and all I can say is NEVER underestimate her! She is known as a Saint of the Impossible for a reason.

I have to thank St Philomena for helping to keep my children’s minds and hearts pure. They all wear the Philomena Cord and we have our daily and nightly prayers that include asking for her intercession. (We also say the Three Hail Mary’s twice a day) 
My teenage son has been wearing her cord for over five years and has a devotion to her as well. He is not your typical teenage boy that is glued to a cell phone or internet so that of course helps with purity too.

Thank you St Philomena and Our Lady!  :pray:

Without access to the archives ourselves there is little can be done. Plus, she may have not been eliminated from it, only her history hidden away and eventually it will all be revealed in the future. 
Reminds me of the story of Our Lady of Good Success Statue in Quito Ecuador..years ago when the Convent was under persecution during war, one of the nuns hid away the Infant Jesus Statue (the original one that was in Mary’s arms) somewhere whithin the walls of the Convent. He still has not been found, so they had replaced the original Statue with a temporary one for the meantime.
Someday the real Statue will resurface and he’ll take his place in the arms of his mother again  :incense:
