On St Patrick

St Patrick converted the Irish to Christianity for which he's remembered today And though I may stand condemned for posing the question it may have been best if from there he had stayed away For Ireland a latecomer to Organized religion before Patrick converted it's people was doing okay Some religious people as we know in Ireland respect to children never seemed to pay One cannot blame Patrick for what's happened as a person it would seem that he was free of taint He must have been for in Rome he was canonized by the scriptural judges as worthy to be called a Saint As his reward for converting the Irish to Christianity for the Church of Rome a huge win The Scot who rid Ireland of serpents did not rid old Ireland of sin Whilst Ireland has produced many great missionaries who did great work on behalf of the poor in Lands afar They worked for the poorest of the poor the victims of hunger and war But some of Ireland's stay at home clergy brought upon their church and themselves Ill-fame The abuse of children is a Crime against Humanity yet most of them went unpunished for their acts of shame No doubt Scottish Patrick was a good and a holy man the National Saint of the Irish and Ireland But some of the members of the Church he founded there not good people why this should be I do not understand.
