Jeff Brazil of Sojourners on the "real" St. Patrick

From the page: "Historians and scholars agree that Patrick had a stunningly positive impact on Ireland. By the time he died sometime around 461 C.E., he had made great strides in helping Ireland renounce enslavement and human sacrifice, and had helped them adopt far more peaceful approaches to problem-solving, as well as instilled in their society a spirit of aiding the poor... Patrick was the first person in history to oppose slavery."
