I am not up on my Saints. Thanks for the info :)
What a bummer that must be in heaven to know you're in charge of hearing prayers related to eczema all day long.
Related--isn't it nice to know babies aren't stuck in limbo anymore? Although it looks as if that wasn't ever actually "doctrine".
I suppose it could be worse, he could be the patron saint of dysentery too!
The limbo thing was something only ever mentioned in passing at school (I went to catholic state schools. I never heard it discussed in church or elsewhere (although I did part company with the catholic church at 17!)
What? Babies that die un-churched go to Limbaugh? Where's the outrage? Why isn't Limbaugh in jail?
<emily_litella_voice> What? Oh... limbo. Never mind! </emily_litella_voice>
You have me there Steve... Emily litella?
jams - Emily Litella was Gilda Radner (may she rest in peace) of Saturday Night Live, in character as an elderly woman with a hearing problem. When Emily grew outraged about something she thought she heard, and later had her error explained to her, her standard lines were "Oh... that's quite different" and (her signature, in a high-pitched, sing-song voice) "Never mind!" Radner died untimely young (42) in 1989, but left her stamp on American comedy; she is much missed. And "never mind!" has been a (presumably permanent) American idiom ever since.
Ah thankls Steve. I just didn't get the reference. Saturday Night Live wasn one shown occasionally here and then on cable/ satellite
