Saints & Werewolves

   "Saints & Werewolves"   
   
   Whether cynocephalus or ultra lycanthropy--the Catholic and some Orthodox Saints have an esoteric connection here.
   
   Of course, Saint Francis is the coolest--in almost every way.  Mystic, ascetic, beggar, and friend of the werewolf, kinda.  He gently offered sublime mercy to the Wolf of Gubbio; as a result--the carnivorous beast gelled with gorgeous dog-like calm.  Read all about Saint Francis, the Wolf of Gubbio, & the Virgin Herself @ GREEN EUNUCH--my Blog Series.  
   
   Anyway, Marco Polo encountered many canine-headed hybrids in his travels, yet while not a Saint--he, more or less, gave us pasta.  Too, the emerald-hued Saint Patrick wends wolfways.  Though not recognized by the mysterious Catholic Church--Internet Lore suggests that most Saints have the ability to transform us into werewolves.  Was Saint Christopher a member of the pack?  Unrecognized, toothy, and sincerely loves to travel.  Like Charley.
