St. Patrick's Catholic Identity Amidst Protestant Theories
Addressing the fringe theory that St. Patrick was a Protestant, some Baptists claim he was a Baptist missionary. Contrary to these beliefs, examples from Old Paths Baptist Church and Fairhaven Baptist Church suggest a reappropriation of history. St. Patrick's known writings, the Confessio and the Epistela, underline his Roman Catholic faith, despite claims, pointing out that he lived within a thoroughly Roman Catholic framework.
