MCCARTY METRO LITTLE KNOWN FACTS
ABOUT ST. PATRICK
St. Patrick was never canonized by a pope.
With all of this recent talk about popes, it’s worth noting that St. Patrick never got canonized by one, making his saintly status somewhat questionable. Let’s just say he’s a saint in the same way that Aretha Franklin is the “Queen of Soul” or Michael Jackson is the “King of Pop.” But in all fairness, St. Patrick wasn’t the only saint that didn’t go through a proper canonization. In the Church’s first millennium, there wasn’t a formal canonization process at all, so most saints from that period were given the title if they were either martyrs or seen as extraordinarily holy.
St. Patrick wasn’t Irish!
The biggest misconception about St. Patrick was that he was Irish. In spite of the fact that everyone dyes their hair red and throws on their best buckled shoes to commemorate the saint, he has nothing to do with Irish culture – at least not until after his childhood. Born in England circa 385, St. Patrick didn’t make his way to Ireland until Irish pirates kidnapped him at age 16. From there, he started his journey to converting the Irish to Christianity and becoming an Irish patron saint.
