    I see that now. One post is dated May 28, 2003, and the very next is Feb 27, 2004. I hadn't noticed that before. Thanks for pointing it out.

    It was the English (well an English Pope and the Anglo-Normans actually) who were largely responsible for subjugating the Celtic Church to Rome from 1169.

    And I agree that we shouldn't regard Patrick as proto-Baptist. Whilst he and the other Celtic saints were no Catholics and were largely IMO born again, they still tended to a higher sacramental view of things than we would be happy with. If they were proto-anything, I'd say proto-Orthodox although that's a long shot too...

    Yours in Christ

    Could we agree on "proto-Middle Church-Anglican" ;) ? The Eastern Catholics (aka Orthodox) were going strong there in Constantinople back in 1169. So, I think refering to the Celtics as the "Irish Orthodox Church" may not be all that "long of a shot".

    I think "Celtic Church" fits the bill just fine. Irish Orthodox? Don't think so, they never were Catholic until 1169 so should not be included in the Catholic/Orthodox list.

    As is usual amongst us Baptists, we've setled on a third way. Though I would tend to agree as there was never a "Patriarch" of Ireland as there was and are in the various Orthodox countries. I was tendering "Irish Orthodox" as a posibility as they did not recognize the supremacy of the Bishop of Rome.
