When God chooses to do a miracle then you cannot suppress it.
... more fool me.

You deserve Frank, and his "church".

So, with all these miracles attributed to Saint Philomena, poche, why do you suppose that your church has completely suppressed her veneration?
.
Poche will never admit what's been going on. Just as in the day of the Saint when the devil conspired with his minions to suppress the memory of her existence so to today when he is getting the same cooperation from within God's ostensible friends. 
.
So as to deceive, if it were possible, even the elect.
.
The tiles arranged over her tomb said PAXTE LUMENA cuмFI -- but they were probably placed in haste, in the dark, and by workers who were illiterate, so rearranging them you could have PAXTE cuмFI LUMENA.  Translation, Pax tecuм Filumena, Peace be with thee, Philumena.

I have also noticed that in transcribing original docuмents, they are not always the easiest to read.

           I recently read a short pamphlet by Patrick Henry Omlar entitled, The Unpersoning of Saint Philomena.  It is a fascinating pamphlet.  After reading how the Vatican eliminated this saint from all lists of saints and martyrs, I did a Google search of the Vatican website.  Though Saint Philomena’s name is cited in numerous papal docuмents and allocutions, her name can be found nowhere, in any of its variant spellings, on the Vatican website.  This is not to say that the name, Philomena, cannot be found.  Unfortunately for the Vatican, there are many women named Philomena who have to be cited in various Vatican docuмents, usually in appointments and activities that some Vatican commission or office makes note of; but, never is the name actually in reference to the saint, herself.


           In fact, I found her name in multiple Martyrologies available online which have been copied from hardbound books and made available in electronic formats by secular groups such as Google Books and others.  Because these books still physically exist in places, the name of St. Philomena, Martyr, can’t be completely eliminated, but, as far as the Vatican is concerned, she is an “unperson”; she never actually existed.


           Even the 1914 Catholic Encyclopedia (available online) began the process to unperson Saint Philomena with an article that essentially claims that she was a myth!  These Modernists are even more diabolical than I thought.

When Liberals undertake an agenda, they find vast energy to carry it out.
.
Take Kirk and Pill's ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ agenda for example. They started that in 1987 and today, everything they laid out has been done.
.
Roman Virgin Martyrs were a real big deal to the Romans.
.
St. Philomena was martyred on the Feast of St. Lawrence, August 10th.
.
But curiously, you don't find that Feast Day mentioned in any of the writings about her.
.
Look up St. Lawrence and you can find that it is said his martyrdom is what finally crushed paganism in Rome.
.
But St. Philomena was a Virgin Martyr in Rome over a century later, killed by a PAGAN Roman emperor, Diocletian.
.
When her relics were discovered 1600 years later, no record of her life or martyrdom could be found in history.
.
But no one could deny the reality of her relics.
.
And no one could deny the reality of her miracles.
.
St. John Vianney, patron of parish priests, was credited with hundreds of miracles.
.
But whenever someone asked him or complimented him for his miracles, he would say it's not my doing -- it's all her's (St. Philomena's).
.
He referred all credit for miracles to St. Philomena and said that he had nothing to do with them.
.
But still, the Church persists in giving him credit for being the one through whom miracles came.
.
Just like in the days of the infant Church, the devil today attacks the Roman Virgin Martyrs.
.
In fact, he attacks all virgin martyrs, but the Romans seem to get special mention, or that is, special suppression.
.
It's always the opposite with the devil.
.
I heard a good priest tell me that we'll know the Church has been restored when St. Philomena's prominence is restored.
.
There are a lot of things wrong with Los Angeles, but one thing is right -- there is a parish named St. Philomena's Church.

There were two more tiles near those three. 
.
One had two arrows on it, one above the other, one pointing left and the other pointing to the right.
.
In those days, such a symbol was meant to attest to a miracle in which arrows reversed direction mid-flight to strike the archers.
.
One of the several archers killed by his own arrow fell down with his eye pierced by the arrow he had shot.
.
As he lay there in agony he cried for Philomena to help him.
.
She told him to take some of her blood and annoint his eye with it.

He did so and was cured. Then he converted and was martyred as well.
.
The other tile was an anchor, which meant that the martyr had been drowned with an anchor tied to his neck.
.
There are no other cases of martyrs who died in both ways, arrows reversing and anchor drowning.
.
St. Philomena's martyrdom occurred at the time when paganism in Rome was coming to an end.
.
Since she died on the Feast of St. Lawrence, we could be not far off the mark if we say that she is the one who finally overcame Roman paganism.
.
She overcame it with such effectiveness that the Romans forgot all about her.
.
Perhaps all her associates were martyred as well, in the pagan Roman attempt to destroy the Church.
.
Perhaps there was no one left to write her story down.
