Most of the apostles are venerated as saints by both Catholics and Protestants (we have lots of St. Mark, St. Luke, etc, Protestant churches around here.)BillyGoatGruff said:I can only think of six saints that are (widely) venerated by Catholics & Protestants alike:
St. Nicholas
St. Patrick
St. Francis of Assisi
St. Christopher
St. Valentine
St. Peter
Yay Pope Benedict!!!!! Way to go!!!!!! :woohoo:NK57 said:Ya know... I think he's pretty cool. BTW a little known fact about Benedict. When it was time to move into the Papal apartment, he asked to bring his two stray kittens with him that he had adopted off the streets of Rome earlier in the year. When he was denied bringing his cats, he stated that he would then stay in his pre-Papal apartment. Cats are now living at the Vatican with him ! :dance: Its the first time in something like 400 years that a Pope has kept personal pets. !
Most Protestants don't seem to view Mary as a saint, but as a member of the Holy Family, which grants her a higher status that that of the saints in the eyes of many.Dark Knight said:Most of the apostles are venerated as saints by both Catholics and Protestants (we have lots of St. Mark, St. Luke, etc, Protestant churches around here.)
Not so sure about St. Valentine, since there were several, lol.
The BLessed Virgin Mary is venerated by some Protestants as well.
I will likely think of more, being a former Protestant, lol.
Yes, he did look alot like St. Nicholas with the hat on, hehe.
LOL...I agree....WTG! :clap:Dark Knight said:Yay Pope Benedict!!!!! Way to go!!!!!! :woohoo:
St. Rose of Lima actually is the patroness of the Americas. Many miracles occured following her death attributed to her prayers in heaven, and she was considered a hero by the locals. Calling her mortifications "cutting" is oversimplifying it, in my opinion. Her intent was far different.BillyGoatGruff said:But perhaps the most disturbing on the list was St. Rose of Lima (she might have since been purged) who was clearly (at least by modern standards) mentally ill and the same type of teenaged girl who would nowadays be labelled a "cutter".
