Humorous but wrong on several points. And he IS a real saint.

"For most of Christianity's first thousand years, canonisations were done on the diocesan or regional level. Relatively soon after the death of people considered to be very holy people, the local Church affirmed that they could be liturgically celebrated as saints. As a result, St. Patrick has never been formally canonised by a Pope; nevertheless, various Christian churches declare that he is a Saint in Heaven (he is in the List of Saints). He is still widely venerated in Ireland and elsewhere today."

Either way, it doesn't matter. We Irish (either by heritage or culture) accept and revere St. Patrick as Ireland's patron.

In March everyone gets to be "Irish" for at least one day. IMO, that's a testament to the Irish heritage in the US.
