It appears that they missed the fact that he was also closer to a Baptist than a Catholic... :)
How so?
“..closer to a Baptist...”
Oh no - I hope this is a joke? I have a copy of St. Patrick’s”Confessions” and he specifically mentions several times his confirmations and his ordinations to the priesthood that he performed; his understanding of the sacraments was clearly Catholic beyond the shadow of a doubt, including the need for water baptism to be saved.
I don’t think the Baptists have seen the light and now realize the sacramental and hierarchical nature of the True Church; St. Patrick was an ordained Bishop and confessed Christ’s return and judgment, as well. I could quote Chapter and Verse from the “Confessions” (I own a copy), but they are not that long and his references to the priestly ordinations Patrick as Bishop performed are easily found with even a cursory run through reading of the work.
