Thanks for bringing up. No matter what view of St Patrick. It certainly is not a Irish holiday only for an excuse to drink excessively. It is at it’s real core a Christian Holiday for all. If we were all like St Patrick the flesh, The world and the devil would Tremble. Thanks for open discussion. I have learned Free Republic should represent Free Open exchange for sharing our thoughts on a subject with respect for all. This is great for a discussion. Thanks again!
Indeed we that have some Irish in us should look at the real meaning of the work of Patrick . It is not about dark beer and corned beef.. (although I like both.. ) it is about the gospel going forth
He was a man of God that converted a nation of heathens.. (yea my ancestors:)
