Lutheran saint?

[edit]

The text asserts that Patric is "venerated as a saint in the ... Lutheran church...". Lutheran churches do not recognize "saints" or venerate them, even though Lutheran church buildings may be named after disciples, evangelists or archangels venerated by Catholics as "saints".

This is plainly incorrect. While they do not make intercessory prayers, they do recognize nearly all pre reformation saints as such alongside several prominent figures from the reformation, and celebrate their feasts in their liturgical calendars.

Myth?

[edit]

So, is St. Patrick a myth? 50.45.18.139 (talk) 14:24, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Err..... no, but the Catholic Church did so mess with eg his dates (for their own political reasons) as to make their story as worthless as a myth. There was a real person born c420 at Gretna who died in 493. Freuchie (talk) 15:44, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Christian not catholic

[edit]

It is misleading to call Patrick Catholic, it should say Christian. The Church in the British Isles were separate from the Roman institution for centuries. 2A01:E0A:EE3:190:47D:2DB0:FF90:2B49 (talk) 11:12, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
