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.
