Similarly, the Catholic church is trying to figure out which medieval
monk is the best patron for internet users.  The current proposed patron
is St. Isidore: http://catholic.org/isidore/

Something about the juxtaposition of medieval concepts and modern computing
seems particularly UAable to me.  Perhaps an infomancer who had a vision
of St. Isidore, and thinks his magick comes from God, etc.

has been playing a lot of misguided religious fanatics in rpgs recently
