Is Al Gore the Modern Day Saint? (ritual, beliefs, hell)

[Green Gaia]

Hello and welcome to RF!

I like Al Gore, but I don't know about sainthood. But then, I'm not Catholic.

Hey Lil...er... the-member-formerly-known-as-Lilithu, what does one have to do become a UU saint?

Hello, Marina:

Please know that you are not alone in your pious devotion to St. Albert the Good. There are many more of us seeking fellowship on this board.

We have a tremendous challenge ahead of us and we are only barely underway. For this reason, we are requesting contributions from the faithful to help spread the good word.

Thank you all for being so generous in your responses and certainly welcoming at that. I have not had much time to attend to everyone's comments and will surely do so when my day permits.

I am making time right now, however, in order to make a small correction of my terminology on the topic. I have been refering to st. Albert as Saint (with a capital S) and not saint Albert, which is the correct way to go. I have completely forgotten that the S can only be capital if the given saint has been canonized by the Church. Unfortunately it looks like we have a long road ahead of us until st. Albert is recognized by the Church.

My enthusiasm has gotten ahead of me and I apologize. I surely do appreciate the enthusiasm of Capt. Haddock and hope that he is not being facetious!!

Thank you all again! I can assure you that I am begining to enjoy it here and hoping that we can get some real debate going on this issue. It has become my main concern in life recently and I know that I can't go it alone.

Thanks!
Marina.

PS- as for the icon- it looks silly, I know, because his head is rather large for the body. Since there is no imagery of st. Albert out there that can be used for veneration purposes, I had to craft it myself. I am not that computer savy so I actually put paper and glue into the equation. It is the centerpiece of my shrine. I even guilded it. If you would like to see more pictures of my shrine- don't hesitate to visit my myspace account @... woops! it looks like I have to have at least 15 posts to post a URL. hm. ok. I suppose it'll have to wait. i know the suspense to see my shrine is killing you all! ok..maybe not.
