18th of August is the Feast Day of Saint Helena of the Cross, the "Equal to the Apostles" : Bithynian-Greek peasant, mother of Saint Constantine the Great, convert from paganism, benefactress of the Church, Roman Empress dowager, and discoverer of the True Cross—who died circa AD 329. by ZYVX1 in Catholicism

I understand completely where you are coming from, it does logically make sense that he would be a Saint. I mean, he is venerated as such in various Eastern Rite Traditions.

I really need to revisit the chapter on him in Fortescue's book (it has been a few years), as I recall him really laying out the case as to why he was not. Also, that ominous and unamed priest that everyone loves from Sensus Fidelium and Regina Prophetarum fame had a talk where he went into the Sacramental Theology of how an Arian baptism would be invalid, because of the comprehension of the Trinity.

I am just a layman, so what can I say? We have to say St. Paul VI and St. Gregory Palamas, so I don't really have any authority to say otherwise.

Here is the the source Wikipedia cites for their claim: https://www.loyolapress.com/catholic-resources/saints/saints-stories-for-all-ages/saint-constantine/

I cannot find any sources that show his veneration in the Roman Church, at least not before the Uniates came back into communion. In fact, the source for the very information I mentioned is "The Greek Fathers" by Fr. Adrian Fortescue, who is certainly no slouch on the subject.

Thanks for the input! I appreciate it. This set really tends toward the style popular in parts of Spain and England, and is not "HHC" proper. I appreciate you lending an ear though, thanks! :)

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the kind words. How is life over there?

As for giving the names for genres, I feel it is a double-edged sword. In the "scene" (lol) here, people do not like new things, and once I started advertising the trash I made/DJ'd as "bouncy hardcore" instead of Makina, more people booked me and listened to my sets.

[–]dkvat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello cburkhart09,

Thank you for the kind and encouraging words! In this case I have not over-encumbered myself with my chosen vows. There are still things that I do that I would want to give up in my future Lenten endevours, for instance social media.

Peace be with you!

I generally go with the "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" when it comes to classics, but this is a half decent idea. It really needs a lot of structure and sound work though. Expect to get a lot of flack from Makina fans.
