Reminds me of a rejection letter from the 70’s when nude centrefold magazines were all the rage

Patron saint of copying people on an email?

Saint Francis of a cc.

If I recall correctly, the traditional blessing attributed to St Francis of a CC goes something like....

"Lord, grant me the wisdom to know whom to cc,
the courage to remove them,
and the serenity to accept when someone cc’s my manager."

A couple of others....

Saint Passive-Aggressius of Per My Last Email​

(Canon name: Sanctus “Per Mea Ultima Epistula”)

Patron saint of:

• Weaponised politeness
• Righteous repetition
• Correcting you without correcting you
• Saying “as noted below” (while judging you silently)

Iconography:

• One hand raised in blessing
• The other highlighting text in yellow
• Eyes permanently fixed on the email thread

Sacred phrases attributed to the saint:

• “As mentioned previously…”
• “Just resurfacing this…”
• “Please see below (emphasis mine).”
• “Circling back on this.”

Miracles recorded:

• Making adults feel like children
• Ending arguments without ending hostility
• Winning disputes without ever raising their voice

Associated lesser saints (the acolytes):

• Saint Kindly Reminder – “Just checking in ”
• Saint As Discussed – Claims meetings you don’t remember
• Saint For Clarity – Brings none
• Saint Per the Attached – The attachment was always there

Traditional prayer (used only in emergencies):

“Saint Passive-Aggressius,
grant me the patience to read below,
the humility to admit I missed it,
and the grace to pretend I did not.”

Feast day:
Any Tuesday at 4:47 pm, when deadlines are already impossible.

Saint Judas of the Blind Copy​

(a.k.a. St Judas Is-BCC-ariot)

Patron saint of:

• Secret witnesses
• Weaponised “just keeping someone informed”
• Plausible deniability with receipts
• Emails that look innocent until discovery

Canon lore:

• He never appears in the To or CC fields
• He watches silently
• He forwards later with “FYI” and no context

Alternate saints in the darker pantheon:

• Saint Machiavelli – For strategic BCCs used purely for leverage
• Saint Thomas the Doubter – BCCs “in case this escalates”
• Saint Michael the Archangel – Defender of the inbox, BCC’ing HR for protection
• Saint Loki(apocryphal) – BCCs people who absolutely should not be there

Traditional warning carved above the server rack:
“Those who BCC shall one day be forwarded.”

And the gravest sin of all, spoken only in whispers:
BCC’ing… then replying-all later.

That one gets you excommunicated from Outlook entirely.
