Saint (filthy) Lucre

It's nothing new for the Roman Catholic Church to take great men, who were their enemies during life on earth, and then once they pass into eternity, the Church actually canonizes and grants them sainthood, then claims him or her as their own. When it happens in the following manner, it is a wicked, dishonest, practice that has been going on for centuries. 

From men like St. Patrick, who preached a more liberal gospel when it came to Catholic doctrine; to Polycarp, the suspected convert of John the disciple, who was burned at the stake for refusing to burn incense to the Roman hierarchy and then stabbed after the burning failed. So what saintly honor did the Church award him, when years later he was given sainthood. The patron saint of earaches!

So now they have supposedly discovered the remains of the greatest disciple that ever lived, and they have claimed him for their own. Paul the Apostle, if only they knew what he held as doctrine when it came to contrasting a few Roman practices including idol worship, purgatory, the sacraments and worshipping the mother of Jesus. Let me just say that he in no way held one single belief found in any major doctrinal point of the official Roman Catholic Catechism, and was anything close to a what practicing Catholic is today.  This is not conjecture. 

It is just the way of the world I suppose. Taking credit for a man's character, and heaving honor among themselves. Claiming Paul's very testimony of life, and his authored books and prayers and alms to the saints, have become quite the money maker for many global religions. The patron saints bring in the revenue.
