roman catholic church calendar

According to the liturgical calendar of the Roman Catholic Church, February 14th is the Feast Day of Saint Valentine.

He was a Roman Catholic priest and died as a martyr at the end of the third century.

How in the world did this religious day turn into a secular celebration with such immoral and indecent gestures and lustful acts?

I seriously doubt anybody cares.

My parents have calendars from different Roman Catholic organizations,including one from their church,with all the saints' feast days listed,but,many female saints are listed as virgins while many male saints aren't.

Why? Isn't that prejudicial?Did any of those saints tell anyone that they were or weren't virgins?

How did any of those calendar makers arrive at their conclusions about the sex lives of any of the saints?

I don't know about "many" being listed as virgins. There are a few. but there were several if you read were married, had children. Perpetua was still nursing her child when she was Martyred.

There are just as many males on the calendar who were virgins as females. One such example is Aquinas, read histoory. His family even hired prostitutes to try to seduce him away from life in the church. He refused.

Newchurch bishops sported papally-approved "Gay-Pride" vestments in rainbow color at 1997's World Youth Day in Paris, France. "Traditional" Benedict-Ratzinger has now mandated "Gay" rainbow vestments on three new Sunday-holydays in the Novus Ordo Calendar for Saints Noe, Abraham, and Moses.

Benedict-Ratzinger has mandated for his Newchurch of the New Order during this new liturgical year of 2010 a new vestment color: "rainbow" (which is actually seven colors). The rainbow color is associated world wide with the immoral "gay-pride" movement, which advocates one of the Four Sins that Cry out to Heaven for Vengeance. Benedict-Ratzinger personally ratified the use of the "gay" rainbow color upon his return from his Africa junket, March 17-23, 2009.

Traditional liturgical colors are only five: white, black, violet, red, and green. Rose is a lightened violet optionally used on Gaudete and Laetare Sundays. By exception gold may be substituted for any color but black and violet, silver for the color white. Blue is not a true liturgical color, but an exception allowed to only one order and on one day. Multicolored vestments with none of the five colors predominating have been prohibited in the Roman Church for 1600 years.

Rainbow-colored chasubles and stoles are to be used by Novus Ordo presbyters and lay-deacons for the 34th, 35th, and 36th Sundays of Ordinary Time, as the Novus Ordo calls them, which, by papal decree will be replaced with three Sunday-holydays fabricated for the "Covenant of God and His people": of St. Noe (called by Newchurch Noah), St. Abraham, and St. Moses.

In 1997 rainbow chasubles were officially approved for use at JPII's World Youth Day in Paris, France, that year. Subsequently Newchurch's Congregation for the Divine Cult and Discipline of the Sacraments allowed it to be used world wide ad experimentum. Since consulting Newbishops and liturgiac "experts," the Congregation has received rave reviews of the rainbow color, and Newrome's last Synod of Bishops officially approved stoles and chasubles in rainbow for the three new holydays by a vote of 256-2-1.

Good Catholics, it is clear that Benedict-Ratzinger is using the rainbow-colored vestments as a symbolic way of indicating his approval of "gay pride," while in words he mildly objects. That is the modus operandi of the Great Cover-up Artist that we have come to expect. It all fits with the Modernist programme of this cult-member of the New Order, whom the deaf, dumb, and blind ignorantly call "traditional." The intelligent, however, see the real score.

This is all fullfillment of Scripture in Daniel 11:37 - no desire of women- Clearly this is homosexuality encouraged - hence like daniel said the Anti Christ would be a Homo.

Also the coincidence of the prophesy from the 12th century that the 112th Pope will defect. Meaning he will go against the traditional teachings, Benedict is just paving the way for the next pope.

At least one of the miracles must be posthumous.

With that in mind, how do you explain this list:

"I'm not sure you're entirely in command of the English word "atheist"..."

And I'm not sure you're entirely in command of the English word "polar bear." Get it? Polar BEAR...

I'm providing the following example simply because it was easy. In any event, what counts as "evidence" for theists doesn't hold up under scientific scrutiny. If it did, there would be no atheists.

"Is a Mother Teresa-inspired miracle that's been recognized by the Vatican a complete and utter fraud? Absolutely, says the husband of a woman whose purported tumor vanished after she applied a medallion of the beloved nun to the site of her pain. 'My wife was cured by the doctors and not by any miracle,' Seiku Besra told Time magazine."

"This conception of the poor is Mother Teresa's stock-in-trade: 'I think it is very beautiful for the poor to accept their lot...I think the world is being much helped by the suffering of the poor people.' "

"Many more people are poor and sick because of the life of MT: Even more will be poor and sick if her example is followed. She was a fanatic, a fundamentalist, and a fraud, and a church that officially protects those who violate the innocent has given us another clear sign of where it truly stands on moral and ethical questions."

"When Mother spoke publicly, she never asked for money, but she did encourage people to make sacrifices for the poor, to 'give until it hurts.' Many people did - and they gave it to her. We received touching letters from people, sometimes apparently poor themselves, who were making sacrifices to send us a little money for the starving people in Africa, the flood victims in Bangladesh, or the poor children in India. Most of the money sat in our bank accounts."

"What about her celebrated concern for the poor and the weak? Here the record is much murkier than her saintly image would suggest. I have been shown testimony from leading American and British physicians, expressing their concern at the extremely low standard of medicine practiced in her small Calcutta clinics. No pain killers, syringes washed in cold water, a fatalistic attitude toward death and a strict regimen for the patients. No public accounts were made available by her 'missionaries of Charity' but enormous sums are known to have been raised. The income from such awards as the Nobel Prize is alone enough to maintain a sizable operation. In one on-the-record interview, Mother Teresa spoke with pride of having opened more than 500 convents in 125 countries, 'not counting India.' It seemed more than probable that money donated by well-wishers for the relief of suffering was being employed for the purpose of religious proselytizing by the 'missionary multinational.' "

"In December 1984, three and a half thousand people died in Bhopal from inhaling toxic gas, leaked by the multinational giant Union Carbide, in the worst industrial accident the world has ever seen. The number of people actually affected cannot be logged as the effects are long-standing and future generations would probably continue to suffer.

"Mother Teresa, whose post-Nobel reputation within India was then very high indeed, rushed in to Bhopal like an international dignitary. Her contribution in Bhopal has become a legend: she looked at the carnage, nodded gravely three times and said, 'I say, forgive.' There was a stunned silence in the audience. She took in the incredulity, nodded again, and repeated, 'I say, forgive'. Then she quickly wafted away, like visiting royalty. Her comments would have been somewhat justified if she had sent in her Missionaries of Charity to help in any way. But to come in unannounced, and make an insensitive comment like that so early on, was nothing short of an insult to the dead and suffering. In the wider world however, her image became even more enhanced, as she was seen even more like Jesus Christ, who would turn the other cheek, although in this instance the cheek was not hers. People in Bhopal were not amused; it is said that the only reason Mother escaped being seriously heckled was by dint of being an elderly woman."

"Lincoln Savings and Loan eventually collapsed, and in 1992 Keating was brought to trial in Los Angeles. Mother T then sent to the trial judge a letter in which she sought clemency for Keating and exhorted the judge to 'do what Jesus would do.' The judge didn't reply, but a deputy district attorney, Paul Turley, did. After Keating was convicted of fraud, Turley wrote to Mother T and pointed out that the money which she had received from Keating was, in fact, money that Keating had stolen. Turley then urged Mother T to ask herself what Jesus would do in such a situation, and he offered to help her return the money to its rightful owners. He never got an answer."

"... She has received hospitality, awards, publicity, and money from numerous people with overt political motives or dubious business histories: Robert Maxwell; the Duvaliers; the Reagans; Margaret Thatcher; and Charles Keating, the great American swindler. When Keating was imprisoned for fraud and embezzlement, Mother Teresa wrote asking the trial judge to look kindly on him. She received a reply from one of the prosecutors, explaining that the $10000 she had received from Keating was stolen from innocent (and not especially wealthy) investors. Would she be good enough to return it? Apparently not. She didn't even reply to the letter."

"The western press was shocked. Mother T drew wide criticism for her endorsement, even from the Catholic press. But she never withdrew her comments. And it didn't stop there. In 1981, she flew to Haiti to accept the Legion d'Honneur from Jean-Claude 'Baby Doc' Duvalier. In return, she declared that the Duvaliers loved their poor, and that their love was reciprocated. (Shortly thereafter, the Duvaliers were forced to flee Haiti and live out their days in exile.) In 1989, Mother Teresa traveled back to Albania to pay respects to Enver Hoxha, one of the most repressive rulers of the 20th century. She laid a wreath at his grave and drew wide criticism for it."
