Good idea, Neil, to pray saint Hermenegilde. I think that this forgotten saint will look at us with love if we ask him for help.
This thread should be linked in every thread that has prayer
requests. Resistance members ought to know.
We have Pope St. Marcelinus, and St. Hermenegilde, as well
as the others we've been remembering to ask, like Pope St.
Pius X, St. Padre Pio, St. John Vianney, Pope St. Pius V, St.
Maximilian Kolbe, St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort, the
Apostles, and more.
We have the Litany of Saints -- the same ones invoked by
Menzingen at the recent ordinations!

I found this (following) on a website, and it is immediately
noteworthy that not only does the author admit to "irony"
(second paragraph) but he ironically claims the story of
these two martyrs, Marcellinus and Peter, "according to
legend" (which Modernists have used to expunge
longstanding traditional saints from the Mass and Calendar!),
had died in a secret manner, intended by their executioners
to cause the memory of their martyrdom to be lost --
WELL,,,,,, DUUUHH! It obviously worked! I mean, it may
have taken 1600 years before the ENEMIES OF THE CHURCH
finally
cracked that nut, but they have brought their satanic
smoke into the Church through the
crack! (Cf. Paul VI)
SourceAccording to legend, Marcellinus and Peter not only strengthened the faith of other Christians imprisoned with them; they also made new converts, including the jailer — a man named Arthemius — and his wife and daughter. Along with the other Christians, Marcellinus and Peter were condemned to death about the year 304; the two saints were taken to a wood outside Rome named Silva Nigra, where they were beheaded in secret (so that their place of burial wouldn’t be known to the Church, and in the hopes that their example of courage and faith would be forgotten).
Ironically, their names have been preserved and venerated over the centuries in the Roman Canon (Eucharistic Prayer I) used at Mass. Pope St. Damasus (d. 384) had, while a boy, talked to Arthemius about the two saints; as pope, he later wrote an epitaph for their tombs.In sum, it is rather conspicuous that it is not difficult to find this
kind of example (that of St. Hermenegilde) among the saints -
THIS IS WHY THEY ARE SAINTS! It is their unwavering ascent
to the One True Faith and their indefatigable adherence to the
Apostolic Creed and Sacred Tradition that MAKES THEM SAINTS.
It is therefore not surprising that this is found in the story of St.
Hermengilde, for it is found all over the Roman Martyrology, and
is a most COMMON THEME. It would rather have been unusual
for the Bishop to have found an example, to suit his narrow
quest to appease the insatiable BEAST of Menzingen, that did
NOT have such an aspect to it.
