Wikipedia:Naming Conventions (clergy) - Saints

Saints go by their most common English name, minus the "Saint", unless they are only recognisable by its inclusion. For example, Ulrich of Augsburg but Saint Patrick. (See also List of saints.) Make redirects from forms with "St.", "St", and "Saint".

Articles on popes who are also saints are titled according to the guidance in Popes above, with any necessary redirects from the forms with "Saint". For example, Pope Pius X, with redirects from Pope Saint Pius X and other forms; but Saint Peter rather than the less recognizable Pope Peter.

Famous quotes containing the word saints:

    The Saints come,
    as human as a mouth,
    with a bag of God in their backs,
    like a hunchback,
    they come,
    they come marching in.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    All saints revile her, and all sober men
    Ruled by the God Apollo’s golden mean—
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    O cunning enemy, that to catch a saint,
    With saints doth bait thy hook! Most dangerous
    Is that temptation that doth goad us on
    To sin in loving virtue.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
