   It's so telling that a lot of saint-honoring Christians (yes, this is @ my beloved Episcopalians as well as the Romans) would rather consider noted colonizer Damien of Molokai the "patron saint of AIDS patients" and not someone who actually had, or ministered to, people with AIDS

   Yeah! There's a lot of parallels between people who had leprosy in the past and people who had/have AIDS in the present. But we need to not be squeamish about this

     Professor Boswell will eventually become a canonized Roman Catholic Saint. It might take them a stupid long-ass time to make it official, but he's not in a hurry anymore.
