Thanks for the post, kindaloupe. ;) The fact that Patrick "might" have been Italic is an endless source of amusement for my (Tuscan) boyfriend. Some enlightening (and highly entertaining!) reading on Patrick's life and ministry, and its ripple effects not just on Ireland, but upon Western history: How The Irish Saved Civilization -- by Thomas Cahill One of those delightful history books that doesn't "read" like a history book (i.e., the author doesn't just recite facts, he comments on them with wit and humor to make them really come alive.) :) Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig agaibh, ~Fionn www.geocities.com/children_of_lir
