Who is Uncle Eddy?

Uncle Eddy was on a secret evangelizing mission for the Vatican to an undisclosed (and hostile) location. While faithfully carrying out his charge, he was apprehended by enemies of the Church and is currently being held in solitary confinement somewhere in the northern hemisphere. His prison is a corporate office cubicle, with only artificial light (fluorescent, actually, with that ceaseless, annoying buzz). His one relief is access to email (well, actually, he also has the comfort of the complete set of Alban Butler's Lives of the Saints, which he reads assiduously to pass the time). His captors have given it to him with hopes that he will unwittingly reveal Vatican secrets in his e correspondence. To their continued consternation, Eddy has taken advantage of this privilege to keep in contact with his numerous nephews and nieces (all of whom happen to be college students), sharing avuncular advice on the spiritual life and spreading encouragement as much as he can.
