Does anyone know Saint Chester?

[Daily Contempt]

From the page: It's impossible to know what works were done by a man who died hundreds of years ago, and didn't even speak English, but we do know a little and we can fill in everything we need to, just like he did.

Saint Chester (http://saintchester.com/)

If you want to be like St. Chester, you have to give of yourself. You have to see need, take the lead and accept responsibility. If you're the lady who takes in a stray cat or two, you need to stop saying 'no' when people offer you another dozen strays. Saint Chester took in every orphaned boy he could get his fingers on, and he never asked for anything in exchange."

he was a saint for Children and not a very well known one, as well as one who embraced breaking/ignoring the law and leaving pedphiles open to having what they do and believe in ok'd by religion. It's sad that this guy was considered a saint or that he was following God's will




Don’t let laws of man stand between you and your work
If the law of man said you couldn’t teach a child to read, God would forgive you for breaking that law of man, though you’d have to pray to your beads like seldom before. If the laws of your state say you can’t teach, nurture or love that child in ways that you know God has told you is right, you have every right to ignore them. You may go to jail or hell for it, but if you hear His calling and know the word is right in your ear, you can do know wrong, especially when doing so right by Him feels so sensational in His ministry.

this guy is actually part of the saints canon?

a bit hard to imagine a saint named "Chester" is all and with that kind of philosophy allowed.

Uhh, you DO know the Bible often advocates the violation of the laws of man in favour of the laws of God, right?

Also, I'd say this is bullshit. According the Catholic.org, there is NO Saint Chester.

EDIT: I think this being BS is confirmed by the website itself (which is hilarious, once you dig a little deeper.)

A quote about "Saint" Chester's life:
Saint Chester was born of William and Margaret in a small village in Germany, near what’s now known as Rosrath, sometime between 1620 and 1638, when the city was part of the French empire. He worked as an apprentice boysmith while himself still a boy, until his parents sold him into servitude in the then-obscene trade of cobblery. It was there he learned the love of an older, wiser, married man, a quality he carried with him when he returned to boysmithery in his thirties.

Saint Chester never married and had no natural children of his own, and honored his vow to never lie with a woman through all his days, a miracle by itself. He served the soft, wooly sheep of the lords flock by taking in the youngest ewes of the flock. He took in many orphaned and runaway boys, and let them suckle from the milk of his generosity as if he was their own mother, perhaps metaphorically, though this is unclear.

As he advanced into his late thirties, he suffered blindness, as did many of his boys, but he never lost faith in God, and he never stopped loving the boys he had taken in as his own. He died of an unknown infection. The location of his grave is unknown to this day.

Heh, I think what we have here is Saint Chester 'the molester'.
