Katy,

The Druids were the first converts to Christ. Columbo was a druid priest
and had accepted Jesus and taught Jesus ways.

Of course there's the counter-argument as demonstrated by the old joke:

A couple move to New England and even after they've lived there for
years, the locals tell 'em they're not "natives." The woman replies,
"But my son was born here, so he's a native, right?"

The local wag answers, "If a cat has kittens in the oven, that don't
make 'em biscuits!"

He is celebrated for CONVERTING the Irish from their Druidic ways....all
Ireland thanks him for that (even though they secretly harbor inklings of
paganism deep within...)


Only Donal, really.

That's what they want you to thin...in actuality, the Church used the
Druidic rites and incorporated them into the Christian rites...go to
Ireland...not the cities mind you, but where Gaelic is still fluent, and you
will still find the co-mingling of belief...the pookah is alive and well as
are the fairies (little fey creatures with wings...not the gay kind),
leprechauns and the rest...

Go get'm Jeff,

I think he'll have to do some reseach to find out who and where Britany
is. (Think I may have have to look up the spelling)

There are a lot of Nigs, Wops, Spics, Chinks, Limeys, Micks, Jews, etc
all living under the blanket of American. I think it would be a problem
the go back three generations for most people to find a true "Yankee"
Most are here by choice and God Bless them!

Not according to my source. Thinking about it, I'm not sure who the
Scots were at that time - Picts? Albans?

As far as I know St. Pat was a Briton, raised (until age 16) in the
Roman tradition. His mother tongue may have been something like Welsh.

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 lifes.
Their choice is, and St Pat choose to be Irish.




He was never Irish. He was Roman.




Nope, he wasn't Roman. Try again.
