We most definitely claim him and he is ours. We don’t mind the Eastern Orthodox laying claim to him too, however. Nobody else has anything like a valid claim - especially Protestants.
I think Colson is being very generous here. I remember seeing that great bigot Pat Robertson air a segment on his TV program talking about the coming of Christianity to Ireland. “Oh,” I thought to myself, “he’s going to have something on St. Patrick. How cool!” Nope. The segment was about hos Methodists brought the gospel to Ireland for the first time in its history (in the 18th century!!!!). I couldn’t believe it. What an idiotic bigot!
**Not sure if anyone can claim him solely for his own denomination. **
Definitely can. A Catholic Bishop!!!!
