    Quote from: Telesphorus
    Archbishop Fenelon wrote Les aventures de Télémaque, which is where I got the name at fisheaters.

    I thought it was too pagan sounding, so I took the name of Pope St. Telesphorus after seeing his feast in the bulletin.


    Didn't Pope St. Telesporus give Easter celebrated on Sunday (instead of Passover)?


    It would appear so.  I did not remember that.  So I guess the seventh day adventists wouldn't like him  :smile:

    • Mater Dominici = Dominic's Mommy

    He was my only kiddo at the time. But! It's versitile as Dominic means "belonging to the Lord" so it works for one or many.

    So should I change it to

    MaterDominicorum?

    Perhaps not as versitile as I thought.

    Sigismund was the only Unitarian king in history. I was in the mood for a screen name completely antithetical to myself.  Being neither a Unitarian (perish the thought) or a king (alas) it seemed to fit the bill.


    So, would the person who disliked this post prefer I was a Unitarian?  Thanks, but I'll keep the one true faith.  Or perhaps you would prefer I was king?  So would I, believe me, so would I.

    While I get it, I also get that today is her birthday, Matthew!!!  :fryingpan:  :laugh1:

    As for Sigi's disliker, I, too, was wondering who is so pathetic as to dislike such a simple post in such a kindly-themed thread???

    • Mater Dominicorum

    Mother of those belonging to the lord (I think).

    A title more fitting for the Virgin, I think.

    Many titles which belong to Our Lord and Our Lady may, fittingly, be used in reference to their servants.

    • When I signed up on CatholicAnswers, I wanted to choose a username that was Catholic and in Latin. I concluded SpiritusSanctus was the best one and chose it, and used that same username when I joined CatholicInfo.

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

    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...

    • When I joined Cathinfo, I was trying to get my daughter (who is an artist) to draw me an image of the Penitent Magdalene.  The avatar was one of my favorite images that I gave to her as a reference.

    I'm still waiting for the drawing.
