Lucifer means son of light. This term is applied in a positive way to Jesus.

“Bringer of light”. And more specifically, the planet Venus when it appears before sunrise. Also, a candle or a lamp.

This is an age-old Protestant chestnut that has been going around for centuries in reference to the Latin hymn “Exultet”, in which the term is used to mean “candle”.

It’s supposed to be proof that Catholics worship Satan, which is complete nonsense.
 
Isaiah 14, in which Scripture speaks of the fall of Babylon.

Verse 12: How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

A cantor very likely sang about Lucifer as a symbol of Babylon.

Usually when someone starts a thread, they have a question that refers to something. Did you see or hear something? Provide a link. Otherwise, no one knows what you are talking about.
 
Yes…yes he did…in much the same way tje holocaust did not happen, the moon landing was staged, Sandy Hook didnt happen, and Obama is a Muslim, non citizen, who founded Isis…jeeez!
 
I presume it’s this garbage. “Lucifer” was and is a perfectly good Latin word meaning “light bearer”.

This piece of trash is worth watching to laugh very hard at the idea of Satan having an “office” in the basement of the Vatican.

It’s in the Exsultet (Latin version) sung at the Easter Vigil all over the world, not just at St. Peter’s Basilica. In the English version, it is “Morning Star.”

This has been explained before at Catholic Answers and elsewhere.

The last verse of the Latin Exsultet!
Flammas eius lúcifer matutínus invéniat:
ille, inquam, lúcifer, qui nescit occásum.
Christus Fílius tuus,
qui, regréssus ab ínferis, humáno géneri serénus illúxit,
et vivit et regnat in sæcula sæculórum.

May this flame be found still burning by the Morning Star:
the one Morning Star who never sets,
Christ your Son,
who, coming back from death’s domain, has shed his peaceful light on humanity,
and lives and reigns for ever and ever.

If anything, it made for an interesting thread. I certainly learned something new.

Most of us older folk have heard the tale so many times that it is dreadfully dull by now. This story has been making the rounds since the 1500s, and refuses to die no matter how many times it has been refuted.
 
Sometimes people with lives also go offline for a couple hours (or even longer 😮).
