Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
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.

On the left a single man with a cudgel represents the Ephesian mob that attacked St. Timothy with cudgels and stones. Behind them is Mount Pion, where the saint finally expired from his wounds and was buried. On the right is the translation of his body to Constantinople. (ChristianIconography.info)
St. Timothy, ordained Bishop of Ephesus by St. Paul, was killed by a mob of enraged pagans in ARSH 97 at the age of 80 because he tried to stop a pagan festival and procession in honor of the pagan goddess Diana. After beating him with cudgels and dragging him through the streets, they finally stoned him to death on Mt. Pion.
Of course, according to “their lord and savior Bergoglio™”, St. Timothy was sinning in his proselytism, and also in his fundamentalism and failure to encounter, dialog, and accompany his pagan neighbors. How dare he condemn them for their religious traditions? How dare he judge them? How DARE HE force his beliefs on them, closing himself into a rigid and sterile enclosure of doctrine and absolutes? According to “their lord and savior Bergoglio™”, the stupid, arrogant fool got what he deserved.
St. Timothy, pray for The Remnant Church.
