Honours
Pudentiana has a commemoration in the General Roman Calendar of 1962 on 19 May. Pudentiana is not included in the Roman Catholic calendar of saints nor in the present edition of the Roman Martyrology. Her basilica in Rome is Santa Pudenziana.
The Spanish Conquistador Miguel López de Legazpi, who founded the city of Manila in 1571, gained possession of the territory on 19 May of that year, the feast of this saint (in Spanish "Potenciana"), and declared her patron saint of what is now the Philippines.
A Titular see was established in her honour on 15 November 1958 and the first appointee was Mario Casariego y Acevedo, who was subsequently elevated as Cardinal and has since deceased. The current Titular Bishop of Pudentiana is Peter Ingham, a bishop in Australia.

Famous quotes containing the word honours:
“Vain men delight in telling what Honours have been done them, what great Company they have kept, and the like; by which they plainly confess, that these Honours were more than their Due, and such as their Friends would not believe if they had not been told: Whereas a Man truly proud, thinks the greatest Honours below his Merit, and consequently scorns to boast. I therefore deliver it as a Maxim that whoever desires the Character of a proud Man, ought to conceal his Vanity.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“If a novel reveals true and vivid relationships, it is a moral work, no matter what the relationships consist in. If the novelist honours the relationship in itself, it will be a great novel.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Come hither, all ye empty things,
Ye bubbles rais’d by breath of Kings;
Who float upon the tide of state,
Come hither, and behold your fate.
Let pride be taught by this rebuke,
How very mean a thing’s a Duke;
From all his ill-got honours flung,
Turn’d to that dirt from whence he sprung.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
