Message Boards Announcement
Dear History members:

In February, 2010, History boards will begin the process of upgrading our community message board software. We are moving to a new community software, KickApps, that will provide greater functionality and ease of use. This transition will take place during the last part of February; the last day that the current boards will be available to you will be Feb. 28, 2010.

We realize that many of you have posted great content over the years and might want to save your posts. Please take this time to go back through the boards and save what you want to keep on your own computer. These boards will no longer be accessible after February 28, 2010.

If you would like to ask a question about the new boards, click here: http://boards.history.com/forum/Message-Boards-User/108

There will be more details to come as we roll out the new community software. Thank you for your continued patronage. We'll see you on the new, improved boards!

I was confused about the whole Saint not a Saint thing, and now I see that Christopher has a dubious background.

At least the Church is trying to downplay those Saints that aren't as bonified as some others.

Was this the case with Saint Patrick too?

St. Patrick

Jan 4, 2003 9:39 AM
Although many legends and even myths have attached themselves to Patrick over the centuries, he was a real man who did do missionary work in Ireland, and several documents have survived which he actually wrote. The actual history of his work may not be fully known but there is no doubt about his existence.
