My response to this one:

[snippage of stuff I mostly don't disagree with, but would state
differently]

You write:
>It turns out that Buddha is a saint in both the Catholic and Orthodox
>Churches, under the name of "Josephat".)

I have trouble with this statement.

Are you referring to the Ruthenian Rite martyr (c. 1580-12 Nov. 1623), the
one with the Basilica dedicated to him in Milwaukee?
