St. Jerome is Particularly Vexed

I note that Geronimo was supposedly given that name by Mexican soldiers who prayed to St. Jerome when he was upon them. The hunt for Geronimo covered two borders and went on for years. He killed people, wore exotic costume, was deemed by his followers to have great powers in fighting those who had usurped their God given place and he had many wives.

I think the code name of such a huge hunt for a wanted man is appropriate. Now if they'd named it Capone I can see the Italians being upset....
