Yes, you stated in your article that St. Patrick "was successful enough to eventually bring an organized church—the Church of Ireland—into existence." The Church Ireland is autonomous province of the Anglican Church, a Protestant church founded in 1871, well after the life of St. Patrick who died in 461! St. Patrick was a follower of the "one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church", the Catholic Church. St. Patrick was made a Bishop by Pope Celestine in the year 432 and, together with a small band of followers, traveled to Ireland to begin spreading Christianity. Just wanted to set the record straight on that.
