Appearantly The Pope is concidering naming Isadore of Seville, who lived some 1400 years ago, as the patron saint of the internet and computer users in general.

Should we now look out for "Latin the new programing language" and Windows S G (Stained Glass version)?

wonder if Isadore has gotten the news in Heaven?...I can hear him.."hey,Lord, what are all these weird prayers I'm getting suddenly? What is a 'blue screen of death', and why am *I* supposed to protect some guy from it?"

I can't wait for the little plastic St Isadore computer mojo statuettes. Isn't St Jude the patron St of Windows?

Buddhists did this much earlier (500 A.D.), when the Chinese Hua-Yen school adapted/adopted the Jewel Net of the Hindu God Indra to the working of Avalokitesvara in the totally interconnected universe. This sets out how to strive for compassion without being bound down by the Internet and all other nets.

St Jude... ya... in that she's the patron saint of the lost cause... And what's more of a lost cause than the Windoze O.S.?

And isn't St Isadore the patron saint of communication?? I thought that's what I'd heard when CNN covered this a few weeks ago??

I don't mean to be rude, but I think St Jude is a dude.
