In my post yesterday St Patrick - the man, the saint, the legend, the image I lamented the fact that the saint had too often been tamed into an insubstantial piece of Irish cultural property. Today I see that Fr Tim Finigan was saying the same thing on his Hermeneutic of Continuity blog, but with his usual elegance and precision widening out the point to show its cultural implications.
His post can be read at Saint Patrick, an Example and Intercessor for those on the Threshold of Cultural Change
I do appreciate the fact that both of Fr Tim and I likened the all too common image of St Patrick to a green Santa Claus ....
