Saint Piccione
Patron of Unexplained Phenomena.
"How puzzling!" was Saint Piccione's reply to virtually any
statement. He never sought to understand mysterious phenomena
(hence his peccadillo of carrying a Bible but never reading it).
There are many unexplained aspects of his own biography. For
example, he possessed such a curious homing sense that he was
affectionately called "the pigeon" by those close to him. When
his detractors accused him of "vague and irresponsible theories
about God, heaven, the stars, and the supernatural," his answer
surprised no one: "How perplexing!" Indeed, there is little
evidence of any theorizing at all. "You ask me to explain the
problem of evil," he once told a follower, "but I might well wonder
aloud about other mysteries, such as where the sun disappears at night."
