Subject: [PATCH] Author Common-of-a-Confessor Matins hymn ("Iste Confessor")
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fixes the ferial-hymn fallback for St. Louis and 82 other confessor
saints across all 5 confessor common ids, using the pre-Urban VIII
(Monastic-track "sacrátus") textual variant with a fresh English
translation rather than the reference engine's mismatched reused one.

+    This is the Lord's own hallowed confessor,

+# The Common-of-a-Confessor's Matins hymn ("Iste Conféssor Dómini sacrátus" /

+# live-verified for St. Louis, 2026-08-25, version=Monastic Tridentinum
+# 1617) — distinct from the secular breviary's later Urban VIII revision

+# translation for both Latin textual variants — mismatched here: its tomb
+# imagery and "merits" wording actually belong to this sacrátus form, not
