LOL at that clip.

The name suggests that our saint was an ethnic Jew, but that doesn't mean his religion was Judaism, or that he couldn't be a Christian priest. Perhaps today's Roman Catholic Church would be prejudiced against canonizing someone named Leibowitz -- I have no idea -- but there's no reason to think anyone would care six centuries from now (especially after the background events of this story).
Oh, what fun! The discussion thread isn't yet created, and we're already treading on sensitive topics.
BTW, finished reading the book today. I think you all will find it's a quick read.
