You crack me up. All I did was list a few saints I got off the search engine, whereas you gave us the lowdown on tons of church history in a tiny little space!
I have to say, those Byzantine saint names sound like they should have their own comic books.

All those archons you have to get past, passwords, and goofy-named spirits. One of my favorite passages from Irenaeus is when he just gives up the game of refuting these guys and parodies them instead.
