In 1929, Luigi ordained Callisto , also a Salesian and an Italian native. Only 26 and already fluent in the native tongue, Callisto was the sole priest assigned to the mission Linchow ⛪ #Catholic

The next year, after Callisto had come for a visit, Luigi accompanied him back home to Linchow . Their riverboat 🚣 journey in the company of 5 young native Chinese was cut short by the approach of a band of armed pirates. Angered when the priests could not produce protection money 💰 the pirates boarded the boat & tried to seize the 3 women in the group 💪 #Catholic

When Luigi and Callisto stepped forward to defend [the women], the pirates beat them with their rifle butts 🤕 :ak: [The pirates] then brought all ashore and announced their plan to kill the priests because of their religion. Luigi and Callisto heard each other's confessions before they were taken to the woods and shot. #Catholic

Luigi and Callisto were re-buried ⚰️ later in a public procession. That day, a local official declared, "The Catholic Church is marvelous which gives to society such men whose duty compels them to sacrifice their lives for their spiritual children." #Catholic

🇪🇬 🇻🇦 Saint Phileas ♗ Feast: 4 February

 

  Saint Phileas
Bishop and martyr (  306 Anno Domini A.D.)            Feast: 4 February
Saints Who Suffered for a Tenet of the Faith

"And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for the sake of my name will receive a hundred times more, and will in herit eternal life" (Matthew 19:29). Phileas was bishop ♝ of Thmuis in Lower Egypt , in the Eastern half of the Roman Empire  , where Diocletian's edicts brought about fierce persecution

Phileas was arrested  and brought to trial in Alexandria  A letter he wrote  to his flock describes the way in which Christians were tormented. Everyone "had full liberty to insult  strike, and beat  them." For Phileas, there were also other pressures. He was an honorable and learned man   had a wife and children  - a phenomenon that occured in the early Church  where already-married men  ‍ ‍ were sometimes ordained, though they usually embraced continence afterwards - and possessed enormous wealth  enough to support a city. A long record of his interrogation shows how staunch Phileas remained in the face of pressure to deny Christ

People on all sides begged Phileas to comply. His wife was brought to court to sway him, but he responded: "Jesus Christ, the Savior of souls, calls me to his glory: and he can also, if he pleases, call my wife." Though the sympathetic judge  was more than willing to allow delays of the case, and his own brother sent word (falsely  ) that Phileas was ready to give in, nothin swayed Phileas. Resolved upon eternal life  he went to death cheerfully. "I have considered, and it is my unchangeable resolution to die for Christ."

Strawberry Picking

 

In "The Park Bench", which presumably is a variation of Romeo & Juliet, an illegal alien student, Mateo, is being tutored for his college English literature class by  Emily. Mateo explains why he falls asleep 😴💤 during his tutoring sessions because he allegedly is helping to pick strawberries for his relative in a 12 hour stint. This seems illogical, because he wouldn't be able to attend his college classes or make his tutoring session at all.

Additionally, a number of strawberry farms have self picking options and don't hire illegal alien labor.

Ben Shapiro vs #MAGA 🇺🇸

 

Somebody made a politically incorrect snarky video contrasting the differences between people who prioritize average US citizens' interests vs overseas American Empire &/or globalist interests which might end up being deleted from the YouTube.

Reductio ad Austrian Pictor

Liberal Hivemind had his YouTube video nuked after 78, 452 views presumably because he mocked leftist hyperbole of comparing all of their opponents to the Austrian painter without using the euphemism. Ironically - Commiecrats  can use the Austrian painter's name 24/7 - but if you simply quote them back - you get nuked
