At some point, there will be a patron saint for bloggers.

Or at least some Catholic is going to find one.
I think it is one of the things I really like about being Catholic - having a huge squadron of saints available to cover specific geographic areas, take care of particular issues, or protect specific professions.
Yes, you could simply have a personal relationship with God and Jesus, but isn't it nice too to have an additional friend who can help to put in a good word for you with the Almighty? Someone who has a proven track record with said deity?

Yesterday, Pope Benedict XVI issued
this message, with his urging that journalists be responsible and search for truth. Papal announcements aimed at my profession don't come everyday, so I was curious.
Then I found the kicker: that the pope released this message to coincide with his feast day for the patron saint of journalists:
St. Francis de Sales. I never knew there was such a person.

Now, truth be told, another Catholic website said that journalists can also turn to St. Paul the Apostle, and St. Maximillian Kolbe.

But In the meantime, I'll be searching for a little St. Francis de Sales statute to stand next to my laptop. Seems the only wares available are little medals, though eBay has a relic of his on sale at the moment.
