I think this would be the correct place to post this, if not sorry.
I've always wondered how they know what the patronage is.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
How do they decide what a saints patronage is?

Or the Trinity, or sola scripture, or toliet paper.
I like saints, but do wonder how they get their partonage.

I believe that it usually has something to do with what the saint in particular did on this earth or was well known for.
Example: St. Patrick of Ireland brought Christianity to Ireland, thus it makes sense for the Roman Catholic Church to dub him "Patron Saint of Ireland". In the Orthodox Church he may be something like "St. Patrick, bishop of <insert city in Ireland> and Enlightener of the Irish".
