I just finished two weeks of study in my college world history class on the Middle Ages (not Dark) and we studied early Christianity and the Catholic church was a impotent babe at the time of Patrick. Popes were more worried with the kings of the remnants of the Roman Empire than a missionary from what was left of Christ’s church teaching in some distant island.
The Roman Catholic church like its namesake was a thief stealing and incorporating many things which didn’t originate with them. The Catholics even adopted the pagan calendar and modified it with their version of religious dates and seasons.
None of what the Catholic church has done takes away ftom the the Savior’s message, love God, love thy neighbor, the Ten commandments, repentance, baptism, and the Holy Ghost.
I have never really understood why folks want to fight over whether or not the calendar is a religious document.
