  • Who Would be a Really Ironic Catholic Saint?

    This is just a light-hearted humor thread. In lieu of past and present events, who would make a really ironic Catholic Saint? I mean, some strange people have been canonized over the years.

    Who do you think would make a really funny Saint? Discuss.

    My vote goes to "Saint" Galileo Galilei.

            Here's another couple that would be really ironic/hypocritical:

            "Saint" Philip the Fair: For purging the Catholic Church of the Templar "threat" and stealing all their money.



            "Saint" Julian the Apostate: For reintroducing the Roman Empire to Neoplatonism and indirectly helping to blend it with Christianity, leading to later Christian philosophy.

            This one's real!:
            Saint Pio of Pietrelcina aka Francesco Forgione: for faking the stigmata and equating himself with God.

                Some need to learn the meaning of irony.

                St Provost Harrison. Patron saint of atheists.

                        They were terrorists, and the king rightfully dried up their financial sources!

                          Martin Luther is most probably the best.
                          I could be Karl Barth as well, since one of the popes actually did consider him to be the best theologican anyway
