Wrong again, dumbass. He was Roman.




PATRICK (5th century). The enduring legends of St. Patrick are that
he
used a shamrock to explain the Trinity and that he banished all snakes
from Ireland. The true story of Patrick, however, survives not in his
myths but in his work. Patrick was responsible for converting the
people
of Ireland to Christianity.
Patrick was born to a Romanized family in Britain probably in the
first
half of the 5th century. At the age of 16 he was taken to Ireland by
pirates and sold into slavery. The young boy was sustained by his
faith
during his six years working as a herdsman. When Patrick escaped and
returned to Britain, he had a vision of the Irish beseeching him to
return
to Ireland to spread his faith. Patrick recorded this call to his
vocation
in the 'Confessio', his spiritual autobiography and one of his two
short
writings that have survived.
After studying in continental monasteries, Patrick returned to
Ireland
as a missionary. Despite a constant threat to his life, Patrick
traveled
widely, baptizing, confirming, and preaching and building churches,
schools,
and monasteries. Patrick succeeded in converting almost the entire
population of the island. His 'Epistola' pleads the case of the
Christian
Irish at the hands of their British conquerors. Patrick's writings
have
come to be appreciated for their simplicity and humility. St. Patrick
is
the patron saint of Ireland. His feast day is celebrated on March 17.

Apparently you have trouble reading.

Patrick was born to a Romanized family in Britain

By the laws of Rome, children born of Roman citizens are also Roman
citizens. BTW, his parents names were Calpurnius and Conchessa. Do
these sound like Scottish names?

Try this Holly
"It is unclear exactly where Patricius Magonus Sucatus (Patrick) was
born--somewhere in the west between the mouth of the Severn and the
Clyde--but this most popular Irish saint was probably born in Scotland
of British origin, perhaps in a village called Bannavem Taberniae.
(Other possibilities are in Gaul or at Kilpatrick near Dunbarton,
Scotland.) His father, Calpurnius, was a deacon and a civil official,
and his grandfather was a priest."

Uh huh. Where'd you get this crap?

BTW, children born of Roman parents were Roman, dumbass.

You know less about saints, than you know about coconuts!

Is that a fact?
Pray tell my friend!

Careful now, it's a big drop into that hole!


That bit of bait was aimed at Joe! I was pointing out that you were correct
about the coconut!

No Scotty a coconut can sail in the fog. Donal's as smart as a box of
rocks, his brain is like a BB in a box car.

And Oz he's smart as a sack of ****, but without the personality.

Joe
