Pope John Paul II: The Patron Saint of Pedophiles and Other Sexual Predators
However, those of you unfamiliar with the details of this heresy might not know that - just like in every other polytheistic religion - each saint has a specialization, just like the pagans have the gods of war and thunder, Catholic have saints who are patrons of a specific thing.
For example, St. Apollonia (pictured on the right with a tooth pulled out) is the patron saint of toothache (yes, really!). Then if you loose something, a Catholic would recommend praying to St. Anthony of Padua, who apparently specializes in recovering lost items.
For your amusement, here is the list of Catholic saints, in alphabetic order of whatever they are a patron of:

I believe that this list will be edited very soon, to include St. John Paul II as the patron saint of sexual predators. Just as he protected them in life, he should be watching over them now, right?
ROME (AP) — A Vatican investigation into former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick has found that a series of bishops, cardinals and popes downplayed or dismissed reports of sexual misconduct with seminarians...
A summary of the report from the Vatican put the lion’s share of blame on a dead saint: Pope John Paul II, who appointed McCarrick archbishop of Washington D.C., in 2000, despite having commissioned an inquiry that confirmed he slept with seminarians. The summary says John Paul believed McCarrick’s last-ditch, handwritten denial.
But the report also charts the alarm bells that sounded — but were ignored — nearly a decade earlier, when in 1993 a series of six anonymous letters were sent to U.S. church officials and the Vatican’s ambassador to the U.S. alleging McCarrick was a “pedophile” who would sleep in the same bed with young men and boys. The ambassador destroyed the letters, and the U.S. church had a policy at the time of not taking action based on anonymous reports of abuse — a practice that was recently reversed by the Vatican for the church at large.
