- Can anybody confirm whether or not this guy was sainted? Some of the google hits call him "St. Isaac of Nineveh", but Brittanica refers to him as Isaac of Nineveh. Given the sources, I deferred to Britannica when I wrote this stub, but it really isn't my area of expertise. --Scimitar parley 15:31, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
The Catholic Encyclopedia calls him "Isaac of Nineveh" where he was bishop for some months. An inappropriate descriptor. Everyone else calls him Isaac the Syrian don't they? --Wetman 20:45, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
I just was given an icon made at "St. Isaac of Syria Skete". I'm guessing he's a saint in the Assyrian Church of the East in the same way that Pontius Pilate is in the Oriental Orthodox Churches or Charles I is in the Anglican Communion. Carolynparrishfan 02:11, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
- He appears to be an Orthodox saint. Check out the skete's website at [1]. Carolynparrishfan 02:14, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
