Peggy Noonan stumps for saint

Peggy Noonan, in her February 24, 2005, column at OpinionJournal.com, makes the case (last item) for St. Joseph Cupertino being named the patron saint of the Internet. She also provides a link to an excerpt from the book Saints for Sinners, by Alban Goodier, to help make her case. St. Joseph Cupertino, it seems, was reputed to fly through the air, buoyed by truth and love. Authorities could not suppress him. Common people believed in his power. She thinks he is perfect for the part, as opposed to St. Isidore of Seville, favored by many.

I'm staying out of this one, but she even provides a link to the Vatican for anyone who wants to voice their support for St. Joseph.

Saints for Sinners, originally published decades ago, is still in print in trade and hardback editions, from more than one publisher, as it happens. There are also a few used copies floating around, no pun intended. (Well, OK, maybe.) The trade paperback ISBNs are 0898704634 for the Ignatius Press edition, and 0722074220 for the Sheed and Ward edition.

Hat tip: According to the title write-up by a bookseller at Alibris (Biblioworld, from Australia), this book is "...Studies of saints who overcame the world in themselves, although the world may have continued to see them as failures..."
