Francis by Patrick J. Marrin for October 31, 2016

Where DOES one get a “big book of saints”? And, who decides what a saint is a “saint of”?

I bought my Big Book of Saints at my local Catholic book store. You can go on line and order one from any Catholic Goods website!

We had it in our classroom in 8th grade to help us pick our confirmation name. We had to do a report on our chosen saint. (Catherine of Siena)

Sorry but St. Dymphna is for mental illness and epilepsy.

ok , just gotta say, I love the silliness of this one.

Fire fighters= St. Florian.

“You’re a saint! And you’re a saint! Everybody’s a saint!”Saint Oprah.

Must be a pretty huge deck.

I have a drawer full. The legacy of 12 years in Catholic Schools!

Yep. Just read Paul, “To the saints in Corinth. Boy, have you messed up big time!”

There are three Saint Gerald’s. I most identify with the Spansh choirmaster.

I wanna’ get a pack of Holy Flash Cards! I wonder if you can play cards with them?…

And yes, Gabriela! There are Saints made everyday who are Martyrs for Christianity that your Faith murders everyday!

Such “Saints” aren’t part of Judaism and most of Christianity. But this demigod classification is of the Catholic strain of Christianity. Lately its been used as a kind of favoritism to the dead. Suspiciously speeded up and hurriedly crowned sainthood. Like favoritism all over again.

Who’s on first?

It depends on whether you are discussing syncretism or Pauline theology.

Women can be recognized as saints, but not saintly enough to be ordained.
