Fourst?
Oh no. This is how these conspiracy theories get started, isn’t it?
Conspiracy theorists can’t see the fourst for the tres.
You are a bad man and I love you. You always come through when I through out a straight line.
Now watch this thread topic cinque into oblivion.
This nonsense must six (fr.) immediately!
I just tried to find out how many Catholic saints there are. Couldn’t find a good answer. It could be 8,050 or it could be over 10,000.
Gee… can a new thread go 10K posts just on Catholic saints…? I think not.
Oh, we’ve barely scratched the surface of Tangents, Holy And Otherwise…
We could start with St. Isidore.
An amazingly learned man, he was sometimes called “The Schoolmaster of the Middle Ages” because the encyclopedia he wrote was used as a textbook for nine centuries. He required seminaries to be built in every diocese, wrote a Rule for religious orders, and founded schools that taught every branch of learning. Isidore wrote numerous books, including a dictionary, an encyclopedia, a history of Goths, and a history of the world—beginning with creation! He completed the Mozarabic liturgy, which is still in use in Toledo, Spain. For all these reasons, Isidore has been suggested as patron of the Internet.
Who is the patron saint of cat videos? They’re the patron saint of the Internet.
Wouldn’t that be part of St. Francis’ duties?
Whoever Bastet was morphed into.
St. Francis was indiscriminately fond of ALL animals.
But we have more specific saints …
But much better and more worthwhile is Saint Roch:
No, for that you have to go for the feast day of Saint Lucia when all good Norwegians risk lighting their daughter’s hair on fire with a crown of lit candles.
Ha, Not trading cards. Holy cards. But we’d trade them among ourselves so they were treated as trading cards in a way. They were handed out for special occasions or as a prize for doing something special. But you could also buy them. There was a tiny shop about a half mile from my school/church (the Madonna shop?) where you could buy them.
This reminds me I need to pick up a St. Agatha card for my office.
Not Bernard?
