He was Matt Talbot, and I'm not sure any of that was true.


** This is a citation from RealLife: in 1920's Dublin, there was a self-scourging religious manic called Matty Hislop, who in addition to self-denial and literally wearing a hairshirt, was seriously allergic to cats and who did indeed take to carrying a kitten to provoke an asthmatic reaction. There was, and maybe still is, a religious movement dedicated to Hislop being elevated to sainthood, although most people of his time thought he was a nutjob. Brendan Behan described him as dangerous, disapprovingly citing of his doing unpaid 14 hour working days for no doubt grateful bosses, noting he was doing some other fella out of a paying job in a time of want, and how bloody Christian was ''that''?
