Saint Isidore - the Patron Saint of the Internet
The patron saint of
the internet is widely considered to be Saint Isidore of Seville, a Bishop and
scholar, who was nominated for the role by the late Pope John Paul II, although
the Vatican has yet to make it official.

Saint Isidore wrote a
20 book opus Etymologies, also known as the Origins, in which he tried to
record everything that was known. Published after his death in 636, it was for
a thousand years considered the encyclopedia of all human knowledge.
Written in simple
Latin, it was all a man needed in order to have access to everything he wanted
to know about the world but never dared to ask, from the 28 types of common
noun to the names of women's outer garments.
It was a tool by those
seeking wisdom much like the internet is used now.
The website catholic.org suggests
the faithful over a prayer to the Saint before logging onto the internet.
The prayer includes the line: "we beseech
Thee that, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, bishop and doctor, during
our journeys through the internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to
that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all those
souls whom we encounter."
