Malaptronyms

Jaime Cardinal Sin, Archbishop Emeritus of Manila, Philippines

Carol Christ, "Ph.D., a pioneer and founding mother of the Goddess, women's spirituality, and feminist theology movements, directs Ariadne Institute"



An update from Angelo Mercado, who writes:
And we called the Cardinal's residence ... "The House of Sin".

In native pronunciation, it's actually closer to "seen", but the homonymy and near-homophony were not lost on us.
