"Traditional Catholic Church"

"Doctor of the Church"

Today the Traditional Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of, Saint Ephrem the Syrian, Deacon, Confessor. He was born at Nisibis in Mesopotamia, he was cast out of his home by his father, who was a pagan priest. He lived as a hermit in the desert. He never became a priest, but was ordained a Deacon in the Catholic Church of Edessa. From the early times, because of his opposition to the Arians, he had been famed as a teacher of the Universal Catholic Church; not only the Syrians, but the Byzantines, the Slavs, the Armenians, and the Copts had incorporated in their liturgical books the melodious compositions of the celebrated Deacon of Edessa, who was called in consequence by the Eastern Church the "Lyre of the Holy Spirit." He faithfully pasted away, in the year 373. In the year 1918, the year in which the Centenary of Saint Jerome was being kept, Pope Benedict XV compared these two heroic monks of the East. On October 5, 1920, this same Pope proclaimed Saint Ephrem a Doctor of the Church. He is the only Deacon honored with the title of Doctor.
