MIKolbe Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 [quote name='immaculata' post='41139' date='Oct 15 2003, 03:05 PM']How about St. Maximilian Kolbe? He was definately brave- and he took full advantage of modern media to spread the faith. If he was still around today, I'm sure St. Max would have a website!![/quote] IAWTC St. Kolbe also had a wonderful devotion to Our Lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradMom Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) +Praised be Jesus Christ! I second (or third) St. Joseph. After all, he is the patron of the Church. But like all before me, so many to consider... St. Michael seems very appropriate as well, given the way the internet is commonly used.

let_go_let_God Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I have to agree with St. Catherine of Alexandria [url="http://www.ewtn.com/library/mary/catherin.htm"]St. Catherine of Alexandria from EWTN[/url] I also think that Venerable (he might be Blessed now, I'm not sure) John Henry Newman would be great as an intercessor of Phatmass as well.

If he was still around today, I'm sure St. Max would have a website!![/quote] St. Maximilian Kolbe. most recent, modern, used the media, "patron of our troubled generation", Marian to the max. - defense of the faith - inspired by the freemasons invading the Vatican, used the media to the max. - technology - most current forms of all media at the time. if alive, no doubt he would use the net. - orthodoxy - given. strong focus on laying the smack down on the modern secular/political world, "culture of death" if you will. - music (using popular music to spread the faith) - had radio stations. not sure if there was pop music.. - popular culture - all forms of media. no internet at the time, but today those with him as their patron use the net heavily ([url="http://www.airmaria.com"]www.airmaria.com[/url]) - fun - not sure, but he had lots of young friars, and two FI friars were almost pro skateboarders.. "evangelization by any means necessary!". - humor - not sure, but again he had lots of young friars. - art - lots of religious art in his publishings, and lots of art inspired by his example in Auschwitz. so St. Max - patron of drug addicts, families, journalists, prisoners, pro-life movement. heavy use of popular media. a brutal martyrdom. many young followers in apostolic communities with tons of zeal today making heavy use of the net and media. at one time he had the largest friary in the world with 700+ Franciscan friars, all like a spiritual army ready to be led by Our Lady into battle. talk about the Church Militant!
