Get the other side of the argument. Was St. Patrick part of a Celtic Church that was separate from the See of Rome?
Did he come under the jurisdiction of the Church of Britain, a Celtic form of early Christianity or did he submit to the Pope? Was St. Patrick a proto-Protestant?
Like the Early Church after the Apostles, and like every Christian movement down through history like the Novatianists, Donatists, Waldenses, Moravians and Anabaptists, Protestant and Evangelical Christians have tried to claim them for themselves. St. Patrick has not escaped this desire.
Ryan argues that Patrick was a faithful Roman Catholic. Whether one agrees with his arguments or not, this short book will help you make a more informed decision for yourself what place Patrick takes in the history of the Christian Church.
