March 28 – St John Capistran, Confessor
The Crusader — Then the hero of the day, St. John Capistrano, already feared for a long time by hell, attained the consummation of his glory and sanctity. At the head of a few poor men of good will, unknown peasants gathered together by the Franciscan Friars, this “poor man of Christ” undertook to defeat the strongest and best organized army of the century. On the 14th of July, 1456, he broke through the Ottoman lines with John Hunyades, the only one of the Hungarian nobles who would accompany him, and revictualled Belgrade; and on the 22nd of July, feeling that he could no longer endure the defensive, he threw himself, to the stupefaction of Hunyades, on the enemy entrenchments.
His troops were armed only with flails and pitchforks, and their only strategy was the name of Jesus. John had inherited this victorious battle-cry from his master, Bernardine of Siena. The Psalmist said: Some trust in chariots and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God. (Psalm 19:8) This name, so holy and so terrible, proved once more the salvation of the people. At the end of that memorable day twenty-four thousand Turks lay dead on the field of battle; three hundred cannon and all the spoils of the infidels were in the hands of the Christians, and Mahomet II was seeking a distant hiding place for his shame.

On the impossibility of being both Jew and Catholic; moreover on the reasons why the Jews themselves refuse submission to society and the laws of the nation, and instead turn against and persecute the Church
That was written by Archbishop Lefebvre in his book "Against the heresies". +Lefebvre had a brilliant mind.

I've asked some big brain Catholics around and it's a legit Syriac cannon. Also, one of my friends also found it in the book where KoA found the John Maro quote.
I will look for the translations from Latin and Greek too

Even though I can't find much on the Arabic canons. Tho this book which is a collection of letters and conciliar statements of the Syriac tradition is really good for evidence of the papacy and we know all these ones are legit.
