Just seeing this now. It makes me smile. Especially since I had a smoke with presbyterian on the 4th of july.
I love to smoke Presbyterian, it’s a fantastic blend. It’s my ecumenical smoke!

I have a few Catholic-themed house mixes that I’ve developed like “Terror of Demons,” “Lingua Gloriosum,” “Fumus Angelorum,” and “Hammer of Heretics.”

So in theory, can we make the claim its ok to smoke presbyterian inside the break room as its religious in nature?

They did the same with Churchill at his museum, airbrushed out his famous cigar
That's just so stupid... There's a funny anecdote (paraphrased) that Montgomery - who hated Churchill and the feeling was likely mutual - told Churchill "I exercise every day, don't drink and sleep well, so I perform 100%", to which Churchill apparently replied "I never exercise, drink from morning 'till evening, hardly ever sleep, and am never without a cigar, so I perform 200%". Winston Churchill was a king of comebacks, most of them hilarious.

That's nothing. Can't remember if it was Maine or new Hampshire, but there state Capitol building has a front lobby wirg a statue of colonial soldiers carrying guns. A democratic legislature sued the state to have trigger locks placed on the statues firearms.

Even though the guns were cast of bronze.

And it was done

What were his three miracles? Other than smoking pipe at a high altitude.
His three miracles?

Well other then giving to the poor, working and helping the poor, helping to improve life for the sick and disabled veterans of world war one italy, he obtained special dispensation to get daily eucharist, he died from polio and on his deathbed he had what would have been his final dose of medicine given to a poor person.

But their is a darker side to it, he was a big organizer in several young catholics associations, did anti "fascist" work, and anti communist work before he died in italy.
Thats darker because it gives a "focus point" for the modern youth to see a cool young dude saint who "fought the fascist pig" inline with the current political issues the current pope enjoys.

I always thought three. But it's two miracles. One for beautification, and one for canonization. I think I confused it with three types of miracles. In case of martyrs, it's different per the Catholic canon.

also when they opened up his original casekt in the 1980s his remains were perfectly preserved. making him one of the "uncorrupted" saint class
