I grew up Southern Baptist and any time there was talk of the Saints, Baptists always try to latch onto the ones they like (Paul -good, Peter - bad). Baptists are often quite embarrassed when they hear quotes from Augustine or Aquinas, without knowing the source, then completely agreeing with the quote, only to find out they come from Catholic Church Fathers. As with most Protestants, Baptists have no problems with picking and choosing what they like from the buffet line of Christianity. They are the original cafeteria Christians.

The “faith alone” fiction invented by Luther set the stage for the de-valuation of the sacraments. Calvin then exacerbated matters by asserting that the sacraments don’t quite work in the non-elect. Modern Evangelicals have taken those inventions to their logical conclusions by largely relegating the sacraments to mere symbols. Instead of hyping themselves up with music and being selectively “Biblical”), they should ask themselves how choosing a church that fits their views is tantamount to following Christ rather than following their own desires. One way to know you aren’t following your own views is to be part of a church that includes teaching you don’t like. The Catholic Church has plenty of that to go around.

The Baptist Church is the one misinterpreting the scriptures in regard to bishops. In the New Testament there were multiple bishops assigned to a single church (i.e. congregation). The Apostle Paul instructed Titus to ordain bishops (plural) in every city. Titus 1:5 - For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: When we read the New Testament, and even the epistle of Clement (who wrote during those times), the elders (plural) were always talked about. In fact, the singular form of the word "elder" (elder) is used far less than the plural form (elders) in the New Testament. James uses this in his epistle when he wrote: James 5:14 - Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: In the New Testament church there were ederS (plural) assigned to each congregation. The Baptist Church, in order to have the kind of control she sees in the Catholic Church, limits the number of clergymen to one per congregation.

This is great commentary. I appreciate that you take the time to use the best of their arguments and refute them.

Just for clarification, did you mean Daniel Chapter 3 that was the additional verse that is referred too? You say chapter 9 but I wasn't aware of that. I know Chapter 3 verses 24-90( Prayer of Azariah and the Song of the Three Men) and Chapter 13(Susanna) and 14( Bel and the Draogn)are not in Protestant Bibles. Was this just an error in speech or is there an additional part of Daniel Chapter 9 which aren't in Protestant bibles?

Short answer: No Long answer: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Thanks Joe! Now do the Baptist claim to St. Augustine. I hadn't heard the claim to St. Patrick from the Baptists I know, but some highly educated (philosophy professor) Baptists claim St. Augustine as their own. I find it completely implausible, but I don't entirely understand where the claim is coming from (although I suspect it has to do with justification). Would sincerely appreciate you taking this on.

Easy enough to figure out: there weren't any Baptists back then! That version of Christianity began in 1609. St. Patrick was a Catholic bishop, for goodness sake!

Hello Joe, thank you for this most excellent rebuttal of the absolutely ridiculous claims by some looney tunes Baptists. I would mention that you may have overlooked a "slam-dunk" of a refutation of their claims, beginning around timestamp 19:00 (Epistle 6). Not only does St. Patrick discuss the priesthood, as you expertly point out...but he goes far beyond that in this paragraph, by bearing witness to Apostolic Succession. St. Patrick specifically references the biblical, Apostolic power of binding and loosing, AND explicitly affirms that it continues into his (St. Patrick's) day through the successors to the Apostles -- i.e., by the priests (and bishops): ------------------ "I am not forcing myself in where I have no right to act. I have a part with those whom God called and destined to preach the gospel, even in persecutions which are no small matter, to the very ends of the earth. This is despite the malice of the Enemy through the tyranny of Coroticus, *_who respects neither God, nor his priests whom God chose and granted the divine and sublime power that whatever they would bind upon earth would be bound also in the heavens"_*

My initial question was, "Do they know the Irish people?" The Irish people are largely Catholic. We are not ignorant.

It's intriguing to me how we never know we are in darkness until the light is turned on. I now see my previous Protestant perception of history concerning the church and truth was very constricted. I believe it was also similar to the telephone game seasoned with our local cultural familiarity. Example: Pastor Bob told brother Bill who sits three pews behind me so it must be true and, since he is our pastor and friends with Bill, they must know something we don't so there's no need to check things out for ourselves. We are most comfortable with what we have been taught, what we know and believe until the light is turned on.

As I have learned, many of the traditions I grew up in were no more than around 200 years old and much even more recent. For example, the sawdust trail and anxious bench which evolved into the altar call and sinner's prayer which blossomed into a one-time decision for Christ which guaranteed salvation with a flare of antinomanism. Just a couple hundred years earlier, Reformers like Luther and Calvin still viewed salvation under the authority of the church through the sacraments and they both held a view of the Eucharist much closer to the Catholic church. Luther, Calvin, Zwingli and Wesley all believed in Mary's Perpetual Virginity. When church history and tradition are thrown out, like a baby with bath water. It's all such a shame. I pray for unity and a return to the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church Jesus built on Peter.

If you interpret every book you want to be protestant through a protestant lens, they're all protestant. Never mind that all of these saints they try to claim had a high ecclesiology they reject

I thought Baptists considered all who have died in Christ were in heaven, thus, by definition, are saints. Yet, these baptists (at best) strain to call Patrick a saint. Their hate to call anyone a saint is palpable.

These Baptists who claim St. Patrick, are they also of the "Trail of Blood" crowd?

Happy Saint Patrick's day to all my Irish and Irish descendent brethren!

Since protestants denies the primacy of Peter, it should be no surprise the twist everything else.

Patrick lived before the schism. That is where my mind begins and ends with it.

Why are they like this?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

5:40 In a bunch of different languages ... Latin, English, and presumably also at least Irish Gaelic?

I'm convinced this is a troll. Saint Patrick the time traveling Baptist. Lol. Jokes aside it's obvious that if this was true the Irish wouldn't have been sime of the most radical Catholics. If he were a baptist we would think this remote community would have taken on more if his ideas.

We can totally tell you’re a lawyer with this intro. 😂

But where are we on the snakes?

Some baptists are completely duped.

Saint Patrick was the second Bishop of Ireland. So Definitely Catholic

I don’t blame Baptists for wanting to claim such an amazing Saint. I do pray those who hear such claims avail themselves of the historical record, and that those who persist in making such claims receive the grace to recognize their proximity to violation of the Eighth Commandment (or Ninth, according to their tradition).

You cannot claim what is not yours, St. Patrick lived before any Baptist Church was started.
