    And the good news of the day is that the Church has deferred the no meat on Friday for St. Patricks day. So you can have your Cornbeef and Cabbage! ;)

    Oh and St. Patrick I didn't know the Baptists claimed St. Patrick! But they've decided he wasn't a Baptist! This is an interesting article on the subject, and given the time, he wasn't really a Catholic in the modern sense as in his time he was a long way from Rome and the Church itself wasn't then what it became over time.

    Actually, he was a priest and had been ordained a bishop prior to beginning his ministry in Ireland. You need to stop reading that fake Baptist news.

    Here is his bio via FaithND:

    Happy St. Patrick's day to all of you Irish folk. Lovely weather here in Columbus with light snow and chilly temperatures. We never seem to have decent weather for St. Pats Day,

    Meant to put a laughing emoji following my "fake news" comment but screwed up. Didn't want you to interpret it as political. :D There.
