This March 17 is a holiday known as St. Patricks Day. This is the drunken celebration of the genocide of the true Irish (or Celtic) peoples and their culture by Maewyn Succat, who came from Roman England. He came to be Romanized as Patricius, which eventually became Saint Patrick as we know him today.
As a youth, Succat was captured by pirates and held in slavery, until six years later when he escaped. Succat then went to England and eventually France where he studied under St. Germain, the Bishop of Auxerre, for approximately twelve years. At the end of this period, he took Holy Orders and became a Bishop in the ROMAN Catholic Church. He was given the name Patricius.
After taking his Holy Orders, Patricius claimed that he had received a message from God. This message he claimed told him that he was to convert all of Ireland to Catholicism by any means necessary. With the Pope's blessing, Patricius was on a ship to Ireland to carry out this mission.
When Patricius first arrived, he was imprisoned for speaking out against numerous Druidic leaders and the religion these people had for generations. After his release, for the next twenty years Patricius traveled Ireland, a crucial leader in the church's movement to convert Ireland to a ROMAN Catholic State. Once the Catholic population was clearly in the majority in Ireland, the Pope gave Patricius orders to crusade against the peaceful and pagan Druidic people who remained in Ireland, a people who were native to this island, and to kill all of those who stood in his way. And he did, and gave the nation of Ireland a distorted view of their own history that is celebrated today in St. Patrick's Day.
In short, Maewyn Succat, an either English or Scotish born slave to pirates, became a ROMAN Catholic Bishop, changed his name to Patricius, eventually became a Bishop. He said God talked to him and told him to go to Ireland and convert the entire country, got the Popes blessing and went to Ireland, a country he had no connection with, and took it upon himself to kill their native religion, as well as those who practiced because he and his religion deemed to be "of Satan"
My plea to my fellow Irishmen is this:
Do not accept this faux holiday this year as a celebration of our people!!! If you drink the green beer, drink it in PROTEST of this holiday and in honor of the true history and culture of our people! As this is truly a celebration of, to use the words of Bill ‘The Butcher’ Cutting in the excellent Martin Scorsese film Gangs of New York, Roman Popery and NOT THE TRUE HISTORY OF PAGAN IRELAND!
Instead of accepting these myths surrounding this holiday, inform yourself and if you see fit, protest it. This is truly the holiday dedicated to a non-Irish Bishop Maewyn ‘Patricius ‘ Succat and the Roman Catholic Church's attempt to commit genocide upon the innocent people of an island!
