聖フィロメナ 歴史文献がないので公会議教会は1961年に聖フィロメナをミサ典書から削除 ピオ神父は悪魔の仕業と断言 悪魔が一番潰したかった聖人 公会議前から腐りが入っていた証拠

Two years ago I interviewed various elderly nuns who had known Padre Pio, and who had received spiritual counsel from Padre Pio. One nun was a mother superior, and Padre Pio had told her that she had a vocation to be a nun. The nuns explained to me that St. Pio held St. Philomena in great esteem, and never doubted her intercessory powers. During his lifetime Padre Pio said to an Irish lady, Mary Philomena Mulcahy, "Saint Philomena is in Paradise, the confusion is the work of Satan."

When the Vatican Congregation of Rites revised the liturgical calendar in 1961, removing a whole list of saints from universal commemoration, it hit my little corner of the world pretty hard. 

Philomena had the distinction of being at one and the same time one of the most popular Catholic saints—popular, ironically, among a whole range of other Catholic saints

Philomena had acquired both a name and the patronage of Pope Pius VII, who gave Philomena to the priest with all the sentimental blessings of a father of the bride. And the “marriage” was a fruitful one, in pilgrims’ terms. From the moment Philomena’s relics landed in Mugnano, the miracles began rolling in. So many cures, conversions, and reconciliations were effected by her intercession that it stopped being of any importance that no one knew who she had been. Various devotees have claimed over the years to have received versions of a biography via private revelation, but once the Sainted Martyr With a Name had delivered the future Pio Nonno from epilepsy, it no longer mattered. Pope Gregory XVI called her the Thaumaturge (Wonder-Worker) of the 19th Century, a title better than any paltry birthdate or martyrology. Pius X refuted vehemently any efforts to claim that Philomena’s name was just confusion with that of the other occupant of the catacombs where her relics were found, Priscilla.

Popes loved her, and they were joined in fervor by some of the era’s greatest saints. John Vianney, the Cure of Ars, called Philomena the True Light of the Church Militant. He built a basilica in her honor, where he installed the relic he had been given by the Venerable Pauline Jaricot, foundress of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. (Innumerable “pagan babies” were given the name Philomena in honor of the foundress’s favorite saint, as I recall.) Father Damien dedicated the first leper chapel on Molokai in her honor. The American missionary saints John Neumann and Frances Cabrini spread devotion to Philomena throughout the Catholic United States. Padre Pio, himself no mean thaumaturge, once silenced critics of her cult by snarling, “For the love of God!  It might well be that her name is not Philomena, but this Saint has performed many miracles and it is not the name that did them.”

When asked by Ms. Mary Philomena Mulcahy if Saint Philomena was an authentic Saint, Padre Pio affirmed that Saint Philomena, to whom he had a great devotion, "was indeed in heaven and that any confusion about her was the work of the devil because Saint Philomena was a source of faith to many." Padre Pios family was very devoted to Saint Philomena and, in fact, his sister was named Philomena.
