St Patrick converted the Irish to Christianity for which he's remembered today
And though I may stand condemned for posing the question it may have been best if from there he had stayed away
For Ireland a latecomer to Organized religion before Patrick converted it's people was doing okay
Some religious people as we know in Ireland respect to children never seemed to pay
One cannot blame Patrick for what's happened as a person it would seem that he was free of taint
He must have been for in Rome he was canonized by the scriptural judges as worthy to be called a Saint
As his reward for converting the Irish to Christianity for the Church of Rome a huge win
The Scot who rid Ireland of serpents did not rid old Ireland of sin
Whilst Ireland has produced many great missionaries who did great work on behalf of the poor in Lands afar
They worked for the poorest of the poor the victims of hunger and war
But some of Ireland's stay at home clergy brought upon their church and themselves Ill-fame
The abuse of children is a Crime against Humanity yet most of them went unpunished for their acts of shame
No doubt Scottish Patrick was a good and a holy man the National Saint of the Irish and Ireland
But some of the members of the Church he founded there not good people why this should be I do not understand.
