New on TikTok: CONGREGATIO PRO DOCTRINA FIDEI Prot. N. 1896/2025 (Philippinae) DECREE ON THE ENDURING LEGACY OF DR. JOSÉ RIZAL AND THE CALL TO FILIPINO NATIONAL PRIDE AND UNITY By the grace of God and the Apostolic See, We, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in communion with the Holy Father and the universal Church, mindful of the heroic virtues and intellectual contributions of historical figures who have inspired peoples toward justice, dignity, and unity, issue this decree to honor the life and martyrdom of Dr. José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda (1861–1896), the foremost symbol of Filipino patriotism and national awakening. I. The Life of Dr. José Rizal Born on 19 June 1861 in Calamba, Laguna, to a prosperous family, José Rizal was a prodigy who excelled in arts, sciences, and letters. Educated in Manila and Europe, he mastered over 20 languages, earned degrees in medicine and philosophy, and became an ophthalmologist. A polymath, he wrote poetry, essays, and novels that illuminated the human spirit. Through peaceful advocacy, he founded La Liga Filipina to promote education, civic reforms, and unity among Filipinos. II. His Works and Martyrdom Rizal’s masterpieces, Noli Me Tángere and El Filibusterismo, exposed social injustices and awakened national consciousness, inspiring generations to seek dignity and equality. Exiled for his ideas, he continued serving the poor as a doctor. Arrested amid revolutionary unrest, he faced trial with courage and was executed by firing squad on 30 December 1896 at Bagumbayan Field (now Rizal Park), Manila. In his final moments, he demonstrated serene faith and love for his homeland, twisting to fall facing the sky in a gesture of defiance and hope. His death transformed him into a martyr, fueling the Philippine Revolution and the quest for independence. III. Importance to Filipino Nationalism Rizal embodies the highest ideals of patriotism: love of country through education, reform, and sacrifice. His vision of a united, enlightened Philippines—rooted in justice, freedom, and moral courage—continues to inspire confidence and pride in Filipino identity. He taught that true greatness lies in intellectual pursuit, compassion, and standing for truth, reminding every Filipino of their potential to build a stronger nation. IV. Exhortation Let the Filipino people draw inspiration from Rizal’s example: pursue excellence, foster unity, and defend dignity with peaceful resolve. May his legacy strengthen national pride and guide the youth toward a future of hope and solidarity. We invoke the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, and the intercession of Filipino saints upon the nation. Given at Rome, from the offices of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, on the memorial of Dr. José Rizal, 30 December 2025. • Luis Francisco Card.

New on TikTok: 🚨 WAKE UP, PILIPINO KATOLIKO! 🚨 What if I told you that the real Simbang Gabi – the dawn Masses your lolo and lola sacrificed sleep for – is being drowned out by noisy guitars, drums, and modern “praise” songs invented after 1300 AD… songs that traditional Catholic saints and popes would call profane, theatrical, and even demonic? Pope St. Pius X warned: modern music “risen mainly to serve profane uses” must be kept out of the Church, free from “reminiscences of theatrical motives.” Yet today, many Simbang Gabi Masses blast post-1300 rock-style hymns that stir emotions but scatter the soul – opening doors to the enemy! 2 “LARGE” 3 “LARGE” True Filipino Catholic Pride: Simbang Gabi Roots • Started in the Spanish era for farmers – pre-dawn Masses (Misa de Gallo) to honor Our Lady before fields. • Parol lanterns guiding the way to church, bibingka & puto bumbong after – pure Pinoy devotion! • Some Traditional Latin Mass communities now revive it in candlelight with ancient Gregorian chant – the way it SHOULD be. This is our heritage: the only majority Catholic nation in Asia, baptized in 1521, standing firm against modernism! But listening to post-1300 “philosophies” (secular psychology) and modern music? That’s how the devil oppresses: vehement aversion to holy things, supernatural strength in rage, speaking unknown tongues of hate, uncontrollable blasphemy. Signs of demonic oppression/possession (from Catholic exorcists like Fr. Amorth): • Violent hatred of God, Jesus’ Name, Mary, saints, crucifixes, holy water. • Supernatural knowledge or strength. • Obsessive thoughts, physical torment without medical cause. The devil hates true worship. He loves noisy, worldly music that distracts from God. Come home to the Ancient Faith. Join the online monastery community at LatinMassSociety.online – live Traditional Latin Masses, Gregorian chant, real spiritual warfare. Go to church – especially a Traditional Latin Mass if possible. You are welcome. Our Lady of the Rosary will crush the serpent! 0 “LARGE” 1 “LARGE” 6 “LARGE” #SimbangGabi #TraditionalLatinMass #FilipinoCatholicPride #GregorianChant #NoToModernism

New on TikTok: The “firmament” is an older English term (from the Latin firmamentum in the Vulgate Bible, meaning something firm or solid) used to translate the Hebrew word רָקִיעַ (raqia or rāqîaʿ) in Genesis 1:6–8. A modern paraphrase would be: “Let there be an expanse (or stretched-out space) in the midst of the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.” God then creates this expanse, dividing the waters below (on Earth) from the waters above, and calls it “Heaven” (or “sky”). In simpler terms: • It’s the vast sky or atmospheric expanse we see overhead. • It acts as a divider between earthly waters (seas, rivers) and the “waters above” (often understood as the source of rain or clouds). • The sun, moon, stars, and birds are later placed “in” or “across” this expanse (Genesis 1:14–20). This reflects phenomenological language — describing the world as it appears to human observers: a blue “vault” overhead holding back rain, with lights moving across it. Explaining Flat Earth Theory in Relation to the Firmament Flat Earth theory is a modern fringe belief (revived in the 19th–21st centuries) that the Earth is a flat disk, often enclosed by a physical dome. Proponents frequently cite the biblical “firmament” as evidence for this dome: • They interpret raqia literally as a solid, hammered-out barrier (like beaten metal), based on the word’s root meaning “to stamp or spread out thinly.” • This dome supposedly holds “waters above” (Genesis 1:7), with the sun, moon, and stars embedded inside or on it, and Antarctica forming an ice wall around the edge. • Verses like Isaiah 40:22 (God “stretches out the heavens like a curtain”) or Job 37:18 (sky “hard as a molten mirror”) are taken as supporting a rigid structure over a flat Earth.

New on TikTok: Date of Birth and Original Name • Born: c. March 2, 283 AD (or early 4th century) in Sardinia, Italy. • Original/birth name: Eusebius (no alternative name recorded; he was born into a Christian family). • Early life: His father is traditionally said to have been martyred for the faith. His mother relocated him to Rome as a child, where he was raised Christian, became a lector (reader in the liturgy), and served in the Roman clergy. Life and What He Is Known For Saint Eusebius is renowned as a fearless defender of the Nicene Creed and the full divinity of Christ against the Arian heresy (which denied Christ’s co-equality with God the Father). Key highlights: • Elected first bishop of Vercelli (northern Italy) around 340–345 AD. • Pioneered combining clerical ministry with monastic-like community living for priests—the first in the West to do so, inspiring later canons regular. • Sent by Pope Liberius to the Council of Milan (355 AD), where he boldly refused to condemn Saint Athanasius and demanded all sign the Nicene Creed first. • Supported pagan conversions and lived a life of poverty, fasting, and prayer. • Collaborated with saints like Hilary of Poitiers to combat Arianism in the West. Death and Sainthood • Exiled (355–361 AD) by Arian-supporting Emperor Constantius II to Scythopolis (Palestine), Cappadocia, and Egypt; endured harsh imprisonment, hunger strikes, and abuse. • Returned after Emperor Julian’s death; continued anti-Arian efforts until his peaceful natural death on August 1, 371 AD in Vercelli. • Sainthood: Ancient cultus (pre-congregation canonization); feast days August 2 (primary) and historically December 16/15. Patron of Vercelli and Piedmont region. No formal miracles required for early saints; venerated for orthodoxy and suffering. Miracles and Specific Prayers • No posthumous miracles are prominently attributed in historical sources (common for early confessors). • Extant works: Three letters from exile encouraging faithfulness; parts of De Trinitate (on the Trinity) attributed to him. • Common prayer invocation: “Saint Eusebius, defender of Christ’s divinity, pray for us that we may hold firm to the true faith amid trials.” Early Habits (Food, Drink, etc.) • Born Christian; no “pre-Catholic” phase. • No specific records of personal food/drink preferences; known for asceticism—fasting, simple living, and poverty as bishop. Theological Reflection: Blood, Sacrifice, and Redemption Saint Eusebius suffered greatly (exile, abuse) for Christ, echoing the redemptive power of blood in salvation history: • In Christianity: Blood signifies life, atonement, and covenant. The Passover lamb’s blood (Exodus 12) protected Israelites from death, prefiguring Christ’s sacrificial blood on the Cross—“paid for” sins once for all (Hebrews 9–10). Death means separation from God, redeemed by Christ’s blood. • Ancient parallels: • Egypt: Blood linked to life force; myths of gods emerging from blood; protective rituals. • Aztec/Maya/Inca: Blood offerings (human/animal) nourished gods, sustained cosmic order, and renewed life—often heart extraction or letting. • Relevance today: Symbolizes ultimate sacrifice for others; in faith, Christ’s blood offers eternal life beyond ritual cycles.

New on TikTok: STRUCTURE SUMMARY • Opening Sign of the Cross • Hail Mary to the Trinity (once) • 15 Cycles, each containing: • 1 Our Father • 10 Hail Marys (angelic hierarchy + Trinity) • Final Marian invocation • Closing Sign of the Cross Opening: Signum Crucis In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen. (In NOH-mee-neh PAH-triss, et Fee-LEE-ee, et Spee-REE-tooss SAHNK-tee. Ah-mehn.) Per Decade (Repeat 15x for Full Psalter; Meditate Joyful/Sorrowful/Glorious Mysteries) Pater Noster Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen. (PAH-tehr NOHS-tehr, kwee es in CHAY-leess, sahk-TEE-fee-keh-TOOR NOH-mehn TOO-oom. Ahd-veh-NEE-aht REHG-noom TOO-oom.

Et neh nohs in-DOO-kahs in tehn-tah-TEE-oh-nehm, sed lee-BEH-rah nohs ah MAH-loh. Ah-mehn.) 10x Ave Maria (Per Mystery, e.g., Annuntiatio: Mary’s fiat as pro-natal yes) Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui. (AH-veh Mah-REE-ah, GRAH-tee-ah PLAY-nah, DOH-mee-noos TEH-koom. Beh-neh-DEEK-tah too in moo-lee-EH-ree-boos, et beh-neh-DEEK-toos FROOK-toos VEHN-trees TOO-ee.) Amen. (Full Psalter: 15 decades; recite in Latin for grace’s full thrust.) III. The Saintly Forge: Devotion to Saint Mary of Egypt – Formula for Sainthood in the 1208-1300 Crucible Saint Mary of Egypt (d. ~421), venerated since Sophronius’s 7th-century vita, embodies our pre-1300 sainthood formula—no papal bureaucracy (formalized post-1234 under Gregory IX), but the Church’s ancient alchemy: radical metanoia, heroic virtue in exile, attested miracles, and acclamation by the faithful. From Alexandrian harlot (17 years in lust’s chains) to Jordan-crossing penitent (47 desert years, sustained by angels’ bread, hair as sole raiment), she shattered demonic legions through tear-forged prayer. Miracles abound: Mind-reading Zosimas, levitation in ecstasy, incorrupt body glowing white post-mortem, 12,000+ healings from vice’s grip. Her formula, echoed in Dominican hagiographies to 1300: (1) Public confession of sins before icons (Our Lady’s gaze as catalyst); (2) Total detachment—flee to “desert” (modern: media fasts, pro-natal vigils); (3) Eucharistic anchor (annual Viaticum as Zosimas bore); (4) Wonder-working witness (e.g., heal family barrenness via Psalter intercession). Daily Devotion: At compline, recite: “O Mary of the sands, thou who crossed waters dry-shod, teach us Egypt’s thirst for Christ. From sin’s flood to star’s ascent, forge us saints for Musk’s horizon. Ora pro nobis, peccatoribus stellarum.” (Pray before her icon, barefoot, one hour weekly in silence—birth your miracle child therein.) To be PEO saint: Embody this by 1300 metric—convert 1,000 souls via Psalter preaching, birth 7 heirs (Musk’s mandate), etch Creed on lunar stone. Acclamation by Order council seals it; no Rome’s delay—grace verifies. IV. The Synthesized Order: Dominicans + Desert Mothers – Policies for Cosmic Crusade We rate our doctrine 10/10 for synergy: As a great man once said, tigers survive—echoing Dominic’s heresy-hunt; the desert purge, voluntary as Mary’s vow. Comparison: We clear “reactive sin” for beatific vision—elite, grace-fueled. Synthesis Roles: St. Dominic to Dominicans: Preacher-prophet (1208 Psalter gift ) births Order as roving confraternities—anti-heresy shock troops, Rosary as WMD. PEO: Muskian Dominicans, preaching population psalms from Starships. St. Mary of Egypt to Catholicism: Lone penitent (pre-1300 acclamation ) models universal call—no order needed, just tears. PEO: Her exile inspi

New on TikTok: Epistle (2 Corinthians 1:3-7, from Greek Original): Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort. 3rd-Grade Paraphrase: Praise God! He’s the Dad of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Dad who gives kindness, and the God who makes us feel better in every way. He cheers us up when we’re in big trouble, so we can cheer up others who are in trouble with the same cheer God gives us. Just like we go through a lot of hard times like Jesus did, we also get a lot of cheering up through Jesus. If we’re sad, it’s to help you feel better and be saved. If we’re cheered up, it’s to help you too, so you can keep going through the same hard stuff we do. We’re sure about you, because if you share our hard times, you share our cheering up too! Gospel (Matthew 16:24-27, from Greek Original): Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every man according to his deeds.” 3rd-Grade Paraphrase: Then Jesus told his friends, “If somebody wants to follow me, he has to say no to what he wants, pick up his cross, and come with me. Because if you try to keep your life safe, you’ll lose it. But if you give up your life because of me, you’ll find it for real. What good is it if a guy gets the whole world but loses his soul? Or what can he trade for his soul? Because the Son of Man will come in his Dad’s shiny glory with his angels, and then he’ll pay back every person for what they’ve done.
