Sorry Neal, there is no complelling evidence that St. Patrick's family
was actually from Rome, though they were certainly middle class or
higher. The fact that his father was a local official and they had
Latin names means little.

Do you think that Patrick, writing in Latin and describing his father,
a local functionary for Rome, might have use his father's Roman name?
And isn't Patrick an Irish name? Does that prove St. Patrick was Irish?

Horass,
St Pat was Irish; Arnold is governor of Calif and an American. The
places of birth they had nothing to do with how they use their

Their choice is, and St Pat choose to be Irish.
He was never Irish. He was Roman.
Nope, he wasn't Roman. Try again.
Nope. Roman. His parents were Conchessa and Calpurnius. Those are
very Roman names. Look it up.
