In regards to the above poster, St Philomena was canonized by Pope Gregory XVI. I have a daughter named Philomena (named after the saint obviously) and I also have a daughter named Zoe! I find it interesting that both share the same feast day. Although my St Philomena's booted feast day was August 11.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-30833642888048445332008-07-07T09:26:00.000-07:002008-07-07T09:26:00.000-07:00I love it when you tell us nuns can be wrong.

Nobody ever actually <I>canonized</I> St. Philomena, and the doctrine of infallibility would lead me to believe that if the pope <I>did</I> try to canonize a non-saint (whether non-existent or just not, you know, <I>up there</I>), something would interfere and keep him from doing it.<BR/><BR/>Which doesn't mean we should have gotten rid of the Devil's Advocate. I mean, it sure would be embarrassing for the Pope to get all ready to canonize someone and then lose his voice or something, all because there was no Devil's Advocate to worry out the fact that said someone is not, you know, <I>up there</I>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
