	Saint RALPH? Really?

	Maybe you should add St. Kyrgyzstan as a decoy.

	I wonder if St. Wigbert was beat up by the other saints.

	Anybody else get Quentin because of San Quentin, the prison

	When I first got an e-mail about this game and saw the title and BEFORE I clicked on it and saw the FULL description I honestly thought this was about the NFL team in the Big Easy comparing the days when they were awful and fans wore paper bags over their heads and the last few years when they've become playoff contenders.

	I thought St. Christopher was a trick. Wasn't he desanctified?

	Knowing your papal names is pretty handy here!

	@Leahwalentosky: that's pretty awful for a Catholic school graduate! I'm an atheist and I got 17!

	I missed two. Apparently Umberto Eco and Miranda Richardson are not saints.

	@Meltha- Yes; putting Christopher on the list is really doubtful. As your source itself mentions, he was removed from the official calendar of saints in 1969 because of lack of evidence that he really existed (the guy was supposed to have been a giant, among other immediate issues). The church didn't go so far as to insist the he be removed from local calendars, so he's in a kind of in-between status. Not officially recognized, but not completely unrecognized, either. Anyway, given the title of the quiz, it seems really questionable to have him on there- it's too ambiguous whether he qualifies or not.

	So narcissists have their own patron saint?? ;)

	ChileNoseJam:	Feb 16th, 2013 at 22:13 GMT		15 points
	Why would they need one? Each of them is their own patron saint.

	I am not a saint. Sad face :(

	22/25. I assumed Oprah was a silly answer, so I didn't guess her. Is she, in fact, a Saint or not?

	lucia:	Feb 17th, 2013 at 00:56 GMT		-3 points
	I guessed Oprah in the last try, even though I knew it was wrong, cause if she isnt a saint, she should be.

	According to the Springsteen song "It's So Hard To Be a Saint in the City"....so that eliminated Chicago based Oprah.

	Hermione? I was also looking for St. Harry and St. Ron. I laughed at that decoy, thinking only a fool would fall for that one. headslap

	To Cheeselord: St. Elmo is also known as St. Erasmus. His feast day is June 2. St. Elmo's Fire is named for him.

	I clicked the first 25 answers and I made the 53 percentile (not statistically, mind you, I got 16, but in sporcle life I did). Everybody else should feel proud.

	Fun fact (for @lucia and @martipost): Oprah's parents actually misspelled the name "Orpah" (a biblical character) when naming her. However, I'd say Oprah's more likely to be canonized than Orpah!

	I can find no evidence of a St. Ralph. If someone could link to a reference or something, it would be much appreciated.

	citkeane:	Feb 17th, 2013 at 23:15 GMT		1 point
	@SpeedyJohn, Ralph is another name by which Raoul of Turenne is known. I can also find mentions of a St. Ralph Milner, although I can't say for certain if he was canonised or just beatified.

	I finally got them all, but it doesn't matter. I grew up in the Lutheran Church, where we are all sinners, yet we all are saints. Now going to Anglican Church. Very similar.

	What about St. Hubbins, the patron saint of quality footwear?

	O.o St. Louis King of France?

	man, I thought it would be every saint that ever existed, but there are multi billions so that'd take a while
