“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“St. Neot of Cornwall! He was only four feet tall and his monastery sat by a river and he was told by an angel that if he never ate more than one fish a day, the river would never lack for fish.”
WOW! The first ecologist who was a saint! The angel needs some credit too for telling him not to over-fish!
Also, Saint Zeno of Verona! In the tiny church of San Zeno in Oratorio near the Adige river/Castelvecchio, Verona, is a large stone which is reputed to be the stone on which Saint Zeno used to stand and fish from.
A holy card:

Well Father’s response probably beats all, but one could consider St. Raphael, who saved Tobias from a monstrous fish that was about to devour the young master. Tobit, ch 6!
I am not sure about patron saints, but if anyone is interested in the history of fish stocking for sport, there’s an absolutely fascinating account in the first half of a book called “An Entirely Synthetic Fish: How Rainbow Trout Beguiled America and Overran the World” by Anders Halverson.
I would have said to look up “vivarium” (fishpond), but apparently this is the trendy new word for any replica environment for any critter.
It seems to be by analogy from “terrarium.” So it is not linguistically wrong, just inconvenient.
