Hi

Thought this was VERY interesting

POPE PONDERS PATRON SAINT OF CYBERSPACE
Pope John Paul II is considering naming St. Isidore the patron saint of
Internet users and computer programmers, according to Vatican sources. St.
Isidore, who lived in the seventh century, was believed to have authored
the world's first encyclopedia, the Etymologies, which included entries on
medicine, mathematics, history and theology. The Vatican has increased its
presence on the Web in the past few years, first with its www.vatican.va
Web site (powered by host computers named Raphael, Michael and Gabriel),
and since 1998 with Webcastings of the Pope's recitation of Angelus prayers
on Sundays and papal audiences on Wednesdays. (Reuters 6 Feb 2001)
