    • I took my username in honour of the great Pere Joseph du Tremblay, the original "eminence grise (grey eminence)," the head of the Capuchins in France and the private advisor and friend to Cardinal Richelieu ("Son Eminence Rouge (His Red Eminence").  This friar, very unknown today, laboured his entire life in order to fulfill the great work of God, the Crusade, aligning Kings with his project, raising a knightly order, founding a school of Oriental languages, and sending his Capuchins throughout the Mohammedan countries to preach and be martyred.  They even converted many Greeks.  This Crusade was his passion, and his interventions in all French affairs, including his diplomatic work in the Thirty Years' War, was all for this sole final purpose.  He also converted the Poitevins, many of whom he later encouraged to be sent to Acadie.  Thus, in many ways, I would not exist if not for his efforts.

    • PereJoseph, thank you for the interesting history lesson.

    My name is self-explanatory. I was surprised no one else had used the name and I was glad to grab it with the idea of eliciting prayers for myself (selfish in a good way), for my family and all the members of this forum and all Catholics.  I also hoped to encourage frequent prayer throughout the day and to remind myself in particular to pray often.  Frequent prayer is something that I try to strive for, but fall far, far too short.  

    Begging your prayers, I am

    • I didn't choose this name for any particular reason. It's just something I randomly came up with.

    Roscoe's username should be "MaryJaunita" (if you can figure out what that means).  :smoke-pot:


    If someone used that screenname, would you presume they were male or female?
     :scratchchin: :smile:


    I'd presume they were a female. Of course, I also know that roscoe has been known to call marijuana "Mary Jaunita" in a rather pathetic attempt to make MJ sound good. So that's why I said his username should be MaryJaunita. Sort of a joke...


    It's ok I got the joke.


    So far the Forum has not been informed as to the orig of LP's moniker.

    • More specifically, a pseudonym that was a pseudonym of my dad. It also could technically be a nickname/derivative of my baptismal/Christian name of James. My dad used it as a derivative of Jiménez, a derivative of his maternal apelido.

    • I chose my username in honor of the nine choirs of angels.  I hope someday to join them in singing beautiful hymns to my Creator.
