Help me identify a Christian saint
March 10, 2019 at 6:25 am
Can someone help me identify a Christian saint? I can't remember his name but I remember he was a psychotic masochist.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Gonna need more to go on than that, mate. If you hadn't specified 'he', I would have guessed St. Margaret Mary, who carved AND burned Jesus' name into her chest.
But a lot of saints were masochistic to a greater or lesser degree. Can you recall anything else about the saint you had in mind?

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I thought I learned about some really sick beliefs when I was a Catholic student, but that website really takes the cake. Thank God I'm an atheist!

Is that his trident or is he just glad to see her?

I've googled "Christian saint with trident" and "Christian saint with prominent nipples".
Nothing for the former and Christian of Clogher for the latter.

It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
