Named after Saint Gregory. I have tried to live up to the name and according to the Catholic Encyclopedia some would say I did succeed:
"He was not a man of profound learning, not a philosopher, not a conversationalist, hardly even a theologian in the constructive sense of the term." |

JAMES the Lesser
Also known as Jacobus Minor; James the Younger; James the Just Memorial 3 May Profile Apostle. Cousin of Jesus. Brother of Saint Jude Thaddeus. One of the first to have visions of the risen Christ. First Bishop of Jerusalem. Having been beaten to death, a club almost immediately became his symbol. This led to his patronage of fullers and pharmacists, both of whom use clubs in their professions. Like all men of renown, large stories grew up around James. He is reported to have spent so much time in prayer that his knees thickened, and looked like a camel's. Soon after the Crucifixion, James said he would fast until Christ returned; the resurrected Jesus appeared to him, and fixed a meal Himself. Died martyred c.62 at Jerusalem by being thrown from a pinnacle of the Temple, then stoned and beaten with clubs, including fuller's mallets, while praying for his attackers Canonized Pre-Congregation Patronage apothecaries, druggists, dying people, fullers, hatmakers, hatters, milliners, pharmacists, Uruguay Prayers Prayer to...

Are you telling me that black men are Catholic? |

|

Right, then that means I'm the pope. I herby deem sgtar15 to be a numbnuts. You must repent and have the word "n00b" tattooed backwards on your forhead in dark green to black ink. Any priests found guilty of taking indecent liberties with minors will be hung by their nads from the belfry and used in a similar fashion as a piniata. Except on Sundays Rosary beads will be replaced with mardi-gras beads. It's good to be the king. |

I went to a school founded by priests of the Norbertine order (St. Norbert). My middle name comes from St. Joseph. |

St. Jason
Feastday: July 12 While on his second missionary journey, St. Paul stayed at Salonika, in the house of one, Jason. In consequence of Paul's successful preaching, the Jews, "moved with envy and taking unto them some wicked men of the vulgar sort, and making a tumult, set the city in an uproar; and besetting Jason's house, sought to bring them out unto the people. And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying, 'They that set the city in an uproar are come hither also, whom Jason hath received. And these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.' And they stirred up the people and the rulers of the city, hearing these things. And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go". This is probably the Jason referred to with Lucius and Sosipater as the kinsmen of St. Paul in his letter to the Romans, and in the Greek legend he is represented as bishop of Tarsus in Silicia, going with St. Sosipater, bishop of Iconium, to Corfu, evangelizing that Island, and dying there. After preaching successfully for some time, the two missionaries were thrown into prison, where they converted seven thieves who afterward achieved martyrdom. The Syrians, however, venerate Jason as the apostle of the district round Apanea and as a martyr who was thrown to the beasts. The Roman Martyrology wrongly identifies him with the Mnason of Acts xxi 16, "an old disciple" with whom St. Paul was to lodge in Jerusalem, and makes Cyprus the place of his death as well as of his birth. His feast day is July 12. |

..the word you are looking for is "too"..... Whats disturbing about that? The depiction is of Saint Anthony with the Christ Child (it originated in Budapest) Saint Anthony of Padua is the Paton Saint of the Lost. You, Sir, are not only lost but in this case, making an abomination of Christ. Perhaps you should find another thread to post your tasteless gutter trash.... You don't burn forever do you? |
