IN the reign of Duncan, king of Scotland, an army of savage Pagan Norwegians, under Hacon, ravaged the isles of Orkney. To stop the butchery of the inhabitants, Mans, the zealous bishop, met the barbarians, and when they threatened him with death, boldly replied: “I am ready to die a thousand times over for the cause of God and his flock: but in his name I command you to spare his people.” Commending his soul to his Redeemer, through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, St. Palladius and St. Servanus, patron of that diocess, he presented his head to be struck off by the executioner. He suffered in the year 1104, in the isle of Eglis, one of the Orcades, and was buried in the same. His tomb became famous for the reputation of miracles, and the devotion of pilgrims. See Hunter, de Viris Illustr. Scotiæ; Lesley, Descr. Scot. p. 40. King; the ancient hymn in his honour, &c.
Butler’s Lives of the Saints
Gee the new archbishop of Detroit is forbidding the Latin Mass. His tomb will never be venerated. How/why do atheists become priests then bishops and then archbishops? God is not going to be mocked for long. Our bishops and above as such heathens.
Maybe we start sending saint cards to the modernist bishops of such men – maybe St John Fisher since I’ll bet St Magnus is hard to find.
Mark the card “Do better!” with black Sharpie marker.
Time to pop the illusion for these jesters in mitres that we approve.
