tree_and_leafSo the Epistle (or for-the-Epistle, really) at Mass today was Acts 23. Which is one of the courtroom scenes, in which Paul manages to start a riot between his accusers with one single sentence.
I think - especially given the scene after the shipwreck at Malta where Paul is attacked by a poisonous snake, before it decides that no, actually, it doesn't want Apostle for its dinner - we need not wonder who's the patron saint of Slytherin.

I agree Augustine's probably Ravenclaw (though I think he's got a Slytherin side, too - all that youthful ambition!)
Oh, for sure. Actually, thinking about it, he's maybe even more Slytherin than he is Ravenclaw...
I think it's harder to spot Hufflepuffs because they're not so often leaders - they're the ones who emphasise loyalty and community, after all. So it's quite likely that half the apostles would be Hufflepuff, but they're not the ones we hear about specifically! Martha's Hufflepuff, I think. And Joseph!

Date: 2009-05-28 11:34 pm (UTC)Mary Magdalen... it's really hard to say, because we have so little actual information about her! I think I'd go for Gryffindor on the assumption that the "disgraced former prostitute" thing is true - it takes a lot of guts and gumption to get yourself out into society as though you were an actual, y'know, person with a background like that.
