Saint Nicholas of Bari/Myra (yes, the original Santa Claus) punched out a few idiots back in his day. When he was a teenager, he got into a street fight and got his nose broken.
A lot of tough saints are needed, because punching idiots is a moral duty. If I did my duty to all the idiots I meet, I’d have really bruised knuckles. And probably end up in jail.
A really great friendship started with a great punch right in the nose. Of course, we were just little sprouts then. I often wished I had married that girl.
Gotta die first, Rat. And then it can be a loooooooooooonnnnnng drawn out process. Some saints are canonized in a few years, but there are others such as Father Baker of Buffalo who have been waiting a long time. Oh, and another key point: you have to be in Heaven. I don’t see you headed in that direction, Rat!
“St. Rat” doesn’t seem too likely, but there certainly have been battling or pugnacious saints. I assume Rat is referring, however, to canonized saints,,,,

If punching an idiot makes him smarter, it will count as a miracle in your favor.

The catch, Rat, is that you’re only officially named a saint after you die.

Wasn’t it Saint Francis who is supposed to have said “Oh Lord, make me chaste. But not yet.”?

Knowing how liberal Pope Francis is, he might find a way to make Rat a saint before he dies.

I dunno, the second-last Pope threw canonization around like Oprah giving gifts: “You’re a saint! And you’re a saint! And you’re a…”
