Yes what??
Someone knows enough to state an educated opinion or
Lucifer is entitled to a "St." because he started as an angel.
If you want more, read the whole Wiki on Lucifer.
Summary (if you are too lazy to click):
St Lucifer is a bishop of 4th Century
"Lucifer" (Light-Bringer) is a latin translation of 5th century of hebrew "Helel" in Isaiah 14:12-14, which would better be translated by "bright one" or "bright star".
While Jewish tradition associates this "bright star" to Babylon, medieval christian tradition has associate it to Satan.
Or, with other words:
4th Century, Mr "Light-Bringer" is a perfectly acceptable name for a Saint.
But 5th century catholic tradition introduces 2 mistakes: a non literal translation + a non contextuel interpretation.
Or, with other words:
Lucifer is no more Satan than God is a bearded old man lying on a cloud.
Or, with other words:
The Catholic Church is still prisonner of her own past mistakes/ImageryThe books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame. Oscar Wilde.Comment

I thought "He" looked an awful lot like Pekka.

Re: Who Would be a Really Ironic Catholic Saint?
Mother Theresa. She was an evil *****.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment
