I see “my church” there.

I haven’t seen any Catholic churches around here named after Jesus. Jesus is the ONLY saint there ever was.

You confuse saints with God. Saints are not made by the Church but the Church simply provides validation that they are in paradise. The first saint was the thief on the right who was assured “This Day Thou Shalt Be With Me In Paradise.”

.
It truly is rare. Some are named “Christ the KIng,” but usually they are named after some dead sinner. There was one in our town that was appropriately named “Most Prescious Blood.” The pastor was a straight up guy Msgr. Varney, and when he died they burned his church down and built a new one, and named it “St Francis Asisi.”

Christ One, dead sinners, infinity.
