Who is your LEAST favorite Catholic Saint?

[Magrittes Pipe]

Paul really screwed up a good thing, didn't he?

[Kiteflyer]

1. St. Joseph

His wife was a virgin. Then she had a son that wasn't his.

[Magrittes Pipe]

2. Nah, Joe kicked ass.

Seriously. His wife wouldn't give him any, AND he had to raise someone else's kid. Talk about your martyrdom.

[RPM]

3. Barnabas

Wasn't he the one who popularized the whole evangelical bent of the Catholic (and decendent) churches?

Would that he hadn't.

[terrya]

4. That guy who started Opus Dei.

Whatever the fuck his name is.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

19. jose-maria escriva

[RPM]

5. List Here

[Beware the Beast Man]

6. St. Anger

I didn't think it possible for Metallica to sink deeper into suckdom, but they managed to outdo themselves.

[XNASA]

7. St. Christopher

De-canonized and downgraded to a mere legend.

What a dope.

[hunter]

8. Mr. Christopher.

That's what we call him here.

[Jesus_tm]

9. None of them, my child

[Donkeyboy75]

10. Saint Francis

Is a sissy.

[nini]

11. LOL

I wonder if I'm the only one that gets that :-)

[kick-ass-bob]

18. no - I got it too! n/t

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

25. nah. and what a sissy he was too!

[nini]

26. Hey... how are you?

:hug:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

28. Anxious and ready for the election, you?

[nini]

32. same.. though I'm cautiously positive

I've got good vibes for some reason.. more positive than I was in 2000.

[JVS]

12. Padre Pio

[nini]

13. he's not a saint yet

.

[JVS]

14. He was on the list posted above

[nini]

15. oops sorry..

that's odd though.

[nini]

16. I stand corrected

I thought he was still in that 'limbo' stage :-)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

20. yes he is

[nini]

22. I corrected myself

I really thought he wasn't canonized yet.. I must have been in a coma

:-)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

23. 2 years ago I think

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

21. why him?

[JVS]

35. I was clicking through the list and his story seems unimpressive

Stigmata just doesn't stack up to a guy like Saint Olaf, who Christianized the Norwegians.

[St. Jarvitude]

17. St. Jarvitude - Patron Saint of

Ha ha made you look :P

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

24. Paul, if he were alive today, I hate to say it, but he would be

a freeper.

He was a extremist zealot who followed every trendy idea that came his way, and I think had he been born, say in the 40's he would have been 60's CIA in SE Asia, central America in the 80's and deeply involved in information mining now at a high level.

His new religion would be corporatism and he would be a high priest in that.

[JVS]

33. Cut Paul some slack.

When you do the footwork to make a religion take off, then you can criticize.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

27. Being ex-Catholic, now Lutheran, I don't go in for all that idolotry

any more, but, please tell me why do internet users need a patron saint?

http://www.catholic.org/saints/isidore.php

nd what does a 6th century Spanish saint have to do with the internet?

:shrug:

[blindpig]

29. Constantine the so-called Great

Like the Roman world didn't have enough problems at the time; barbarians, plague, stagflation and civil war. Then that goober goes and inflicts that mess on posterity, bastard!

[Kellanved]

30. Antonius

Not personally, but there is an organization operating in his name, that scammed my great-grandmother. Basically selling of indulgences .

[MsAnthropy]

31. Vatican II Dumpees

I still feel bad for all those saints who got dumped after Vatican II. I was in second grade, had just learn all their names and SOMEBODY decides they're not saints anymore? How must they feel, going along, being a saint, and then having their title stripped? It was then I decided the pope was mean.

[GoodSpud]

34. Saint Fiacre

I mean really, get a better job dude...

T.D.P.

look him up if you don't get it.

[XNASA]

36. Hey.......

Are we related??

[indigobusiness]

38. You talkin' to me?...huh?

Fiacre - Taxi-drivers, venereal disease sufferers, horticulturists, hemorrhoid sufferers

[indigobusiness]

39. How did horticulturists wind up in that sandwich? n/t

[indigobusiness]

37. Yep, Paul screwed up...not to mention what he did to the Beatles.

"I am the walrus."
