Community Celebrates Feast of St. Ignatius
I hope that Ignatius they ate tasted good!
We lions sure love that hickory-smoked flavor you can only get with the first Jesuit. That's the truth — NO LION!
Really though, Ignatius, if you didn't want people to think your flesh was delicious, you shouldn't have given all your lectures while lions were chewing on your limbs. You were bound to be depicted that way.
Bonus points to the lion on the right for eating his Ignatius upside down and holding on with just one hind leg. NICE FORM!
I will now be smitten by the Catholic Jesus for this. Sorry, Jesuits.
EDIT: Apparently that picture from Google is of another St. Ignatius, one who got himself eaten up by some lions in a coliseum, and not the Jesuit one. However, I'm still not convinced it's not the same guy. First, I'm pretty sure Catholics wouldn't make more than one guy named Ignatius a saint, no matter how good he is, because that would be too confusing for them. Second, wrestling lions in a giant stadium has been the official sport of Jesuits for centuries. Go to Multi-Sport Field at 4 AM on a Thursday and you'll see them. Considering there's no information on Ignatius of Loyola's death on Wikipedia, and I'm sure Dan Brown would back me up on this, I'm almost certain the whole thing's a cover-up. Ignatius of Loyola died wrestling a lion, but the Jesuits wanted to continue doing it, so they said that the body was of another guy named Ignatius and, panicking, canonized him a second time just in case. Also, I will burn in Catholic Satan's Hell doubly for this edit.
