SSPX Oklahoma City: Black Mass Response.

http://sspx.org - In this video, we present a response effort organized by the
Priestly Society of Saint Pius X, here in the United States. After a Black Mass was publicly
marketed in Oklahoma City, to desecrate our Saviour in The Blessed Sacrament,
an outcry from Catholics resounded.

In an effort to make Reparation for this public offence, the SSPX displayed a spontaneous 900 Faithful from multiple States. Watch this video to learn more of the SSPX's response.

Pope Linus (+ 79 A.D.)
Date: Copied from en: to he: by he:User:Ches.

Pope Linus (+ 79 A.D.) was, according to several early sources, the second Bishop of Rome and is listed by the Catholic Church as the second Pope.

His Papacy lasted from circa 67 A.D., to his death, circa 79 A.D. According to other early sources, Pope Clement I was the second Pope; per the Annuario Pontificio, Clement was the fourth Pope. Among those considered by the Catholic Church to have held the position of Pope, only Clement, Linus and Peter are specifically mentioned in the New Testament.

The earliest witness, to Linus's status as Bishop, was Irenaeus, who, about the year 180 A.D., wrote: "The Blessed Apostles, then, having founded and built up the Church, committed into the hands of Linus, the Office of the Episcopate."

The Oxford Dictionary of Popes interprets Irenaeus as classifying Linus as the First Bishop of Rome. Linus is presented, by Saint Jerome, as "the first, after Peter, to be in charge of the Roman Church", and, by Eusebius, as "the first to receive the Episcopate of the Church at Rome, after the Martyrdom of Saint Peter and Saint Paul". Saint John Chrysostom wrote: "This Linus, some say, was second Bishop of the Church of Rome, after Peter", while the Liberian Catalogue presents Peter as the first Bishop of Rome and Linus as his successor in the same Office.




The Liber Pontificalis also presents a List that makes Linus the second in the Line of Bishops of Rome, after Peter, while also stating that Peter Ordained two Bishops, Linus and Cletus, for the Priestly Service of the Community, devoting himself instead to Prayer and Preaching, and that it was to Clement that he entrusted the Church as a whole, appointing him as his successor.

Tertullian, too, wrote of Clement as the successor of Peter. Jerome classified Clement as "the fourth Bishop of Rome, after Peter" (i.e., fourth in a series that included Peter), adding that, "most of the Latins think that Clement was second after the Apostle."

The Apostolic Constitutions denote that Linus, who was Ordained by Paul, was the first Bishop of Rome and was succeeded by Clement, who was Ordained by Peter. Cletus is considered Linus's successor by Irenaeus, and the others cited above, who present Linus either as the first Bishop of Rome or, if they give Peter as the first, as the second.

The Liberian Catalogue and the Liber Pontificalis date Linus's Episcopate to 56 A.D. – 67 A.D., during the Reign of Nero, but Jerome dates it to 67 A.D. – 78 A.D., and Eusebius puts the end of his Episcopate at the second year of the Reign of Titus (80 A.D.).




Irenaeus identifies Linus with the Linus mentioned in 2 Timothy 4:21 as an associate of the Apostle Paul. Others, of the sources mentioned above, say the same.

According to the Liber Pontificalis, Linus was an Italian, born in Volterra, in the Tuscany Region. His father's name was recorded as Herculanus. The Apostolic Constitutions name his mother as Claudia (immediately after the name "Linus", in 2 Timothy 4:21, a Claudia is mentioned, but the Apostolic Constitutions does not explicitly identify that Claudia as Linus's mother).

According to Liber Pontificalis, Linus issued a Decree that women should cover their heads in Church, created the first fifteen Bishops, and that he died a Martyr and was buried on the Vatican Hill, next to Peter. It gives the date of his death as 23 September, the date on which his Feast is still Celebrated. His name is included in the Roman Canon of the Mass.

With respect to Linus's supposed Decree requiring women to cover their heads, J.P. Kirsch commented in the Catholic Encyclopedia: "Without doubt, this Decree is apocryphal, and copied by the author of the Liber Pontificalis from the First Epistle of Saint Paul to the Corinthians (11:5) and arbitrarily attributed to the first successor of the Apostle in Rome. The statement made, in the same source, that Linus suffered Martyrdom, cannot be proved and is improbable. For, between Nero and Domitian, there is no mention of any persecution of the Roman Church; and Irenaeus (1. c., III, iv, 3), from among the early Roman bishops, designates only Telesphorus as a glorious Martyr."




The Roman Martyrology does not list Linus as a Martyr. The entry about him is as follows: "At Rome, Commemoration of Saint Linus, Pope, who, according to Irenaeus, was the person to whom the Blessed Apostles entrusted the Episcopal care of the Church, Founded in the City, and whom Blessed Paul the Apostle mentions as associated with him."

A tomb, found in Saint Peter's Basilica, in 1615, by Torrigio, was inscribed with the letters LINVS and was once taken to be Linus's tomb. However, a note by Torrigio shows that these were merely the last five letters of a longer name (e.g. Aquilinus or Anullinus). A Letter on the Martyrdom of Peter and Paul was once attributed to Linus, but, in fact, dates to the 6th-Century.

The Feast Day of Pope Linus is 23 September.

Weekly Traditional Latin Masses In Kent. Maidstone, Ashford, Tenterden, Headcorn.


The current hiatus at Blackfen, Kent, England, where the new Parish Priest has banned the Celebration of Traditional Latin Masses, on the grounds that "they are DIVISIVE", encourages Zephyrinus to publicise the Traditional Latin Masses which
ARE CELEBRATED in Kent on a REGULAR WEEKLY BASIS ON SUNDAYS.

In addition, Traditional Latin Masses are Celebrated during the Week,
on Feast Days and Holy Days of Obligation.

There is a vibrant and happy group who attend these Masses and meet, after Mass,
for a lovely Lunch in various hostelries and locations.

Do come and join them. You will all be most welcome.

Besides Glorifying God in an edifying, Holy and Traditional manner,
you will see the wonderful Kent countryside changing throughout the Seasons,
which, in itself, Glorifies God.

UPDATE ON THE RALLY OF REPARATION
AGAINST THE SATANIC BLACK MASS IN OKLAHOMA.

You'll want to see this video about the rally of reparation held in Oklahoma City against the satanic black mass



Here's the video for you:
And since you've been praying and protesting this outrageous sacrilege, I wanted you to be among the first to receive this short video and update from Oklahoma.
So much happened yesterday:
At 3:00, TFP volunteers joined thousands of fellow Catholics for a Holy Hour, procession and Benediction lead by Archbishop Coakley at St. Francis Church. The Church was jam packed and the overflow crowd spilled out into the street.
Later in the day, right in front of the Civic Center -- where the Black Mass was perpetrated -- the American TFP held a peaceful and prayerful rally of reparation against this grave offense against God.
Faithful from across the country arrived to console Our Lord and the Blessed Mother.
Multiple buses rolled in from Kansas.
A team of nineteen TFP Student Action volunteers drove down from Pennsylvania (1,291 miles one way). We were blessed to be able to stand up for Holy Mother Church, the true Mass, and the Holy Eucharist -- praying the rosary, holding signs and displaying banners outside the Civic Center.
Evil has never been so brazen.
God has never been so reviled in a public venue, with the complicity of city officials who refused to cancel the black mass. Never has the spiritual battle between good and evil been so apparent.
That's why you and I must continue to watch and pray.
Moreover, we must not grow tired of fighting the good fight. With Saint Michael Archangel, who won the most decisive battle in Heaven against Lucifer, we proclaim: Quis ut Deus! Who is like unto God.
Evil is eternally vanquished.
Thank you for everything you did to oppose the black mass. Your efforts and prayers are never overlooked by God.
May He reward you a hundred fold and truly transform America into one nation under God.
Keep fighting the good fight,

P.S. -- Placing all our trust in God and the Blessed Mother, me and my TFP Student Action colleagues are putting in long hours to build a national movement against the Black Mass.
We're even burning the candle at both ends, but there's only so much we can do by ourselves. We need YOU. That's why I'm counting on your prayers and swift action to share this alert with lots of people. To reach 100,000 petitions before it's too late.
Thank you for everything.

About 1310, work commenced on The Lady Chapel, to the design of Thomas Witney, who also built the Central Tower, from 1315 to 1322, in the Decorated Gothic Style. The Tower was later braced internally with Arches by William Joy. Concurrent with this work, in 1329–1345, Joy made alterations and extensions to the Choir, joining it to The Lady Chapel with the Retro-Choir, the latter in the Flowing Decorated Style.

Later changes include the Perpendicular Style Vault of the Tower and construction of Sugar's Chapel, 1475–1490, by William Smyth. Also, Gothic Revival Renovations were made to the Choir and Pulpitum, by Benjamin Ferrey and Anthony Salvin, in 1842–1857.

Wells Cathedral has a total length of 415 feet (126 m). In common with Canterbury, Lincoln and Salisbury Cathedrals, it has the distinctly English arrangement of two Transepts, with the body of the Church divided into distinct parts: Nave, Choir, and Retro-Choir, beyond which extends The Lady Chapel.

The façade is wide, with its Towers extending beyond the Transepts on either side. There is a large projecting Porch on the North Side of the Nave, forming an entry into the Cathedral. To the North-East, is the large Octagonal Chapter House, entered from the North Choir Aisle by a Passage and Staircase. To the South of the Nave, is a large Cloister, unusual, in that the Northern Range, that adjacent the Cathedral, was never built.

In Section, the Cathedral has the usual arrangement of a large Church: A Central Nave, with an Aisle on each side, separated by two Arcades. The Elevation is in three stages, Arcade; Triforium Gallery; and Clerestory.

The Nave is 67 feet (20 m) in height, very low compared to the Gothic Cathedrals of France. It has a markedly horizontal emphasis, caused by the Triforium having a unique form, a series of identical narrow openings, lacking the usual definition of the Bays. The Triforium is separated from the Arcade by a single horizontal String Course, that runs unbroken the length of the Nave. There are no vertical lines linking the three stages, as the Shafts, supporting the Vault, rise above the Triforium.

The Exterior of Wells Cathedral presents a relatively tidy and harmonious appearance, since the greater part of the building was executed in a single style, Early-English Gothic. This is uncommon among English Cathedrals, where the Exterior usually exhibits a plethora of styles.

At Wells Cathedral, later changes in the Perpendicular Style were universally applied, such as filling the Early-English Lancet Windows with simple Tracery, the construction of a Parapet that encircles the roof, and the addition of Pinnacles, framing each Gable, similar to those around the Chapter House and on the West Front. At the Eastern End, there is a proliferation of Tracery, with repeated motifs in the Reticulated Style, a stage between Geometric and Flowing Decorated Tracery.

The West Front is 100 feet (30 m) high and 147 feet (45 m) wide, and is built of Inferior Oolite of the Middle Jurassic period, which came from the Doulting Stone Quarry, about 8 miles (13 km) to the East. According to the architectural historian, Alec Clifton-Taylor, it is "one of the great sights of England".

West Fronts, in general, take three distinct forms: Those that follow the Elevation of the Nave and Aisles; those that have Paired Towers at the end of each Aisle, framing the Nave; and those that screen the form of the building. The West Front at Wells has the Paired-Tower form, unusual in that the Towers do not indicate the location of the Aisles, but extend well beyond them, screening the dimensions and profile of the building.
