The Patron Saint of the Internet

The Patron Saint of the Internet

St. Isidore of Seville has the marvellous (albeit unofficial) title of 'Patron Saint of the Internet' - acting as God's heavenly advocate of the digital world. However, this may all change depending on whether the recently beatufied Carlo Acutis gets canonised. If so, the teenager may become the official Patron Saint of the Internet.

In this video, we'll explore the unusual lives and afterlives of Saint Isidore and Carlo Acutis, but also take a look at some other wacky and obscure patron saints. Like St. Drogo, patron saint of ugly people and coffee.

Wow, after my most recent upload the channel has been on the upward, and now is at the lofty heights of 330k subscribers. Thank you all, all this continues to astound me. To celebrate, I intend to do a Q&A video. Stay tuned!
