What's the name of the first ever saint?

Dismas

[Diable Rouge]

Stephen's the first martyr, but chronologically, it must be Peter.

Well, apparently I was wrong too. So I should forget everything I was ever taught in catholic schools, and bow down to some twat on Wikipedia, who thinks some unnamed soldier was sainted (Longinus - some guy who put the spear into Jeebus' side) as opposed to the ONLY guy who Jesus actually canonised himself. "Today you shall be with me in paradise" who was called Dismas.

Wiki also has John the Baptist, which is obviously wrong because you can't be a saint until after Jesus died. WHICH MAKES IT DISMAS.

Actually the early church sainted the Jewish patriarchs and determined they would be in Heaven so the first saint would be Adam.

That just makes it worse. I am going to sue the Catholic church for lying to me, fucking up my education, and the pain and mental anguish all of this has caused me over the last period.

Bastards.
