Talk:List of patron saints by occupation and activity

message: Nicolas of Myra is claimed to be the Patron Saint of "prostitutes." Is this vandalism? I highly doubt the catholic church would consider prostitution to be a profession, much less one deserving of a patron saint.
I do not think this is vandalism.  There is a patron saint of thieves (Dismas) and of petty thieves (Cucuphas), "professions" that also would not be condoned by the Catholic Church.  There are also three female saints who are patronesses of reformed prostitutes.  There is also a patron saint of serial killers, Caedwalla.

message: I remember reading a website a while back about an Italian guy who was supposedly canonized, and recognized as the Patron Saint of gunfighters. If memory serves, he was a monk who was travelling through Italy (maybe with other pilgrims, maybe not), and he came across a village being terrorized by a few soldiers. So, he walked up to one of the soldiers, drew the soldier's pistol, shot him with it, and got the rest of the soldiers to surrender.
Unfortunately, I can't remember his name, so I can't search for more information or create an article on him. Does this ring any bells for anyone?--Nick012000 02:48, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Please read the title. Countries, medical conditions, etc. do not belong on this list. Epilepsy, France, real estate, potatoes, noble gases, etc. are neither occupations nor activities. Thank you and have a nice day. - SummerPhD (talk) 15:06, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: What are you doing this weekend? Well, taking some time off from my career doing scoliosis, I'm going to spend some time doing scoliosis. It's both my occupation and an activity, right? - SummerPhDv2.0 15:33, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

message: This article was moved from Patron saints of occupations and activities to Patron saints of occupations, activities and communication mediums without discussion. I oppose the move for one simple reason: "occupations and activities" are things people do, "communication mediums" are wholly unrelated. You may feel that patron saints of communication mediums is a significant topic. Go ahead, create the article. That said, shoehorning it in here is awkward at best. Failing substantial support for keeping the new title (and content), I'll move this back in a few days. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 16:26, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Wasn't sure if this one goes in this list or Patron saints of ailments, illness and dangers or both. I'm thinking both since it is an ailment but also an occupation if you read Eunuch. -- œ™ 00:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Is there a source for this list, other than those given for individual saints?
Right now there's no indication that any of these are right.

message: I noticed several different occupations that seemed to be repeated under different names, but with a different saint or group of saints.  For instance, "saddlers" is another name for "saddle makers," but they're listed separately with unique saints for each.  The same goes for "vintners" and "winemakers," and (I think) "chandlers," "candle makers," and "wax melters and refiners."  
Some of the occupations only have very subtle distinctions, like "stonecutters"/"stonemasons" and "vine dresses"/"vine growers."
I'm not Catholic and don't know enough about saints to know how to handle this.
