A Christian saint from Egypt (ca. 251–356). One of the "Desert Fathers," St. Anthony is considered by some to be "The Father of All Monks." The "temptation of Saint Anthony" has long been a favorite subject of Catholic art.
EXAMPLE:
' I made a . . . duplicate on my Formica tabletop of a painting by Rabo Karabekian, entitled "The Temptation of Saint Anthony."
' . . . I had Beatrice Keedsler say to Rabo Karabekian, "This is a dreadful confession, but I don't even know who Saint Anthony was. Who was he, and why should anybody have wanted to tempt him?"
' I don't know, and I would hate to find out," said Karabekian . . .
' . . . Saint Anthony, incidentally, was an Egyptian who founded the very first monastery, which was a place where men could live simple lives and pray often to the Creator of the Universe, without the distractions of ambition and sex and yeast excrement { Vonnegut's neologism for "alcohol" }. Saint Anthony himself sold everything he had when he was young, and he went out into the wilderness and lived alone for twenty years.
' He was often tempted during all those years of perfect solitude by visions of good times he might have had with food and men and women and children and the marketplace and so on. '

What Anthony Fauci currently is not, but might become- at least to some liberally degenerate individuals- under 1 of 3 circumstances: 1) if and when he dies 2) if he physically defeats Covid like Trump defeated Hilary Clinton or 3 The pope pronounces him as such even before his death.
I refuse to pray at the altar of Saint Anthony Fauci or follow the Anthony Fauci personality cult or become a Fauci groupie

Saint Martin Anthony Buchanan is an American saint of the Freeventist religion, originally a soldier who in the heat of battle divided his cloak in front of a nun and many of the heathen warriors who were charging against him to reveal his tiny dagger, it is said that Bo Sinn appeared to bestow the power of seven days free upon his dagger, and ever since that day he pledged his life to the Freeventist faith, never to speak to a fronthole again.
Saint Martin Anthony Buchanan gave me seven days free, I must spread this salvation to all my fellow bowlthren!
