Catholic; St. John the Baptist prelature

Hey, I got a question for the Catholics:

If your church is named after one saint or person or whatever or another, does that change the values of that church or the way the priest 'preaches' (if they do?)

What denominational church did you belong to at the time?
This is to satisfy my curiosity.

I'm not sure, catholic I think. The one where they ring a bell in church then the bread turns literally into the body of jesus and the wine turns into his blood and you drink him and eat him.

Catholic... and no, Summer. They all suck no matter which "saint" they are named for.

I'm aware they all "suck", I was just wondering if a church name changed whether they spoke more for charity or humility or what have you.

Like does each saint associated with whatever church named after it have a "theme"

Around here, all villages have a patron saint of somekind, my own is our lady of desterro, meaning its a sub-cult of some kind based on the biblical story of mary running away to egipt when the godboy was born. To be honest, most people that go to church are more interested in what others are wearing than what the priest is saying.

Nah. Most of the saints are as fictitious as the godboy. Its all just a scam.

I was raised half Episcopalian and half Worldwide Church of God. I grew up in a divorce situation, so every other weekend I was subjected to Worldwide Church of God, and the other weekends I was subjected to the Episcopalian church. I never really believed any of it. But I tried very hard to.

Baptist.

Pentecostal. The kind where everyone is born again and that grants them superpowers via the Holy Spirit for the miracles that happened left and right whenever I was looking right and left.
