Another dead white slave owner. Doesn’t the left ever tire of their mantra. I’m sorry I wasted time reading this crap. It’s only purpose is to degrade the Irish and Christianity.
I thought St.Patrick drove the slaves out of Ireland.
He may have been a Visigoth transvestite spy who could have put on a lavender toga and danced the maranga in high heels while juggling flaming weasels. Did he ever deny it?
I thought not.
More revisionist BS to undermine our culture & traditions; this is the kind of BS I would have expected from the History Channel nowadays (sandwiched between “documentaries” on the many wives of Jesus and His mother’s black slaves she mistreated).
We’ll be bombarded with the most bizarre nonsense, but not much on St. Patrick or the Irish on TV today.
Legend says St. Pat drove the snakes out of Ireland. I wish someone would drive the snakes out of DC.
Considering Patrick's own youth as a captive and slave of Irish pagans this idea is ludicrous and highly offensive. And broaching it today indicates some people don't value their teeth or their knee caps much.
I wish someone would drive the snakes out of DC.
I wish someone would drive the snakes out of Hillery
Clinton’s hair, I’m tired of looking at them.
Bingo.
It’s same with dead Republican politicians. Liberals rewrite history. The Republicans party has moved so far to the right that Reagan would be an Obama guy. Lincoln would be a D. Goldwater would be a flaming lib. Etc. It’s so predictable.
Show me the receipts

Someone was working hard to find something controversial to say about St. Patrick. This is beneath the level of Ancient Aliens-style speculation.
St Patrick was a Brit who claimed he was dragged over to Ireland by Irish pirates. If this wasn’t true, it might reflect better on the Irish, if anything...
St. Pat was a Roman, not a Brit.
Hmmmm...NO primary or secondary sources? Must be purely attempting to question/revise history to support some agenda...
You could call him a Roman I suppose, in the same sense that a pre-1922 Irishman was a Briton. But he was born and bred in what is now Cumbria, England...
Cambridge prof says “there are reasonable grounds” - means no hard evidence. Just liberals trashing St. Patrick.
I am surprised they are not claiming he was gay.
