	Now, young Dermot, you know about these things. ur local Saint is St Richard of Chichester and, because I needed his dates for something else, I looked him up. Well, for the life of me, I can't see why he was canonized but feel it must have been something political and which I don't yet understand. The nearest he is reported to have performed to a miracle was dropping his chalice and not spilling any wine, which, I might add, is a miracle of which I wholeheartedly approve, but i can't see any other good reason.

	Sharron - there are loads of things I have forgotten to remember. A Saint is someone who has not been researched enough. For example - 'Knights Templar International' - is it a good or a worrying organisation? :-S

	I just thought you might know more about saints than I do,or, indeed, most people on here.

	I don't suppose there is anybody who might have quick look at St Richard of Chichester on Google and tell me what you think about it.

	St Dermot (Died ca 542) is also known as ‘Dermot the Just’ (nickname), Diarmis or Diarmaid. He was a native of Connaught in Ireland and possibly of Royal heritage. Begorrah! St Dermot was an Abbott, preacher & writer, and was the spiritual director to Saint Kiernan of Clonmacnois. He was very cautious about underselling himself online, particularly on any Genes Reunited threads of the time. Amen!. :-D

	What, somebody with very specialist knowledge on everything? I don't have any specialist knowledge but I had to Google St Richard, the one we were all taught about at school, but not much, evidently. Go on, somebody have a little Google and tell me what you think.
