“Your question seems to assume that one could have, or needs to have, “proof” for pious devotions. This is by noi means the case.”
No friend.
My question assumes you have any evidence at all to substantiate your truth claim about dear Joseph.
I will take your answer to mean you just like the idea.
"Truth claim?" I think you are making a category error here. This is an honorary and devotional title, not a "truth claim". Like if I were to pass on to my eternal reward and be dubbed Patron Saint of Internet Remedial Catechetics.
I would "be" such because acclaimed as such. It is an honor by acclamation.
And I promise you that if you were still on this terrestrial ball and hanging around the FR Religion Forum, I'd be hopping up and down on my celestial perch praying for you!!

Hehehe.

Amen.
