1. Here's my Final Four.

MLK, Jr, vs. Martha of Bethany

Anne vs Oscar Romero



Finals: MLK, Jr. v. Anne

I have to go with Anne to take it all. You can't bet against a grandmother.

2. Is there a patron saint of

assault weapons?

3. St Barbara

St. Barbara is the patroness of artillerymen, fireworks manufacturers, firemen, stone masons, against sudden death, against fires, and against storms (especially lightning storms). She is usually depicted in art standing next to or holding the tower in which she was imprisoned, with a chalice, the palm of martyrdom, a feather, and/or a cannon

4. If she had had a cannon

martyrdom probably could have been avoided.

5. Or a Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!
