Canonized -- made a saint -- makes sense. I'm asking about the
process that results in tiny groups of patronage. The church likes to
be all inclusive, why piss off the non-sicilian but still Italian
fishermen from nearby Pacific Grove?

Isn't it a matter of "group identification"? "What?
We're Irish! How come we have to piggy-back onto
that Italian saint who, in life, was often seen
rooting for the Monterey bocce team!?!"

Could be. I suppose that's what I'm asking. (Among other things.)

And, if so, then who *IS* the patron saint of Cardinals fans who disagreed with the lousy call in late in the 4th quarter...? <G>

A "great" review is one with the name of the cigar before the review text in the body of the post. :)
