Just hope everyone remembers that ol' Patty was an Englishman.
Lived in Ireland for less than nine years, received his ordination and complete ecumenical education ... NOT in Gaul, but in England. Not to mention the fact that he was born there and of full blood.
Every year, I find it amusing seeing so many paddy-mics celebrating and setting aside this day for an Englishman.
It's just too good, isn't it?
