Luigi Scrosoppi, Saint Luigi...

Don't see in that article why he is but with a name like that surely he's be more suited to be the patron Saint of Plumbers mates???

JPII must be a candidate once canonized, the original Holy Goalie.

Anyway, always knew the professionally religious are a bit mad, the last comment to that article reads...

" According to Eugene O'Callaghan the Bishop of Clogher in Ireland, who decreed in 1954 that it was a mortal sin to engage in playing, watching or supporting Soccer Football. This was because it was "an occasion of sin" to mix with Protestants, where a Catholic might see or hear something that would endanger their faith. He forbade anyone under pain of hell to play this sinful game."



I KNEW IT!

MY DOWNFALL WAS DOWN TO PROTESTANT SUNDAY LEAGUERS!

"where a Catholic might see or hear something that would endanger their faith."

That Bluenose inside right that called me a 'Mother fkr" that time, he pricked my altar-bhoy curiosity, was fkg a mother a bad thing? I had to find out and from then a path of exploration that has ultimately ruined me...


There is breed of Catholic, as I'm sure there are in every religion that are genuinely insane.
