— both elements. f1086 (7.) Instead of Patrick believing in transubstantiation, Dr. Catchcart says: “In all the descriptions of the Eucharist quoted there is no evidence that it is the God of glory in every particle of its consecrated bread and wine.” f1087 (8.) In the later or Romish meaning of the term, there is no indication of Monastacism in Patrick’s writing or in the history of the first Irish church. “Monastacism, in the proper sense of the word, cannot be traced beyond the fourth century.” f1088 Catchcart: “It is difficult to fix the date when the first monastery was established in Ireland. It is certain that Patrick was long in his grave before it took place. … Bangor, in Ireland, was founded by Comgall. Bingham states that it was about A.D. 520, and this date is apparently the true one. He informs us that it was the most ancient monastery in Ireland, as the famous monastery of Bangor was the oldest in Britain. f1089 “The monks are frequently termed ‘the philosophers’ and the monastery their ‘school of thought.’” f1090 “The monastery was often a nursery or training college for the clergy. … The illiterate clergy looks naturally to the nearest monastery for help in the composition of sermons.” f1091 Neander says: “The Irish monasteries were still the seats of science and art, whence, for a long time afterwards … teachers in the sciences and useful arts scattered them-selves in all directions. … In the Irish monasteries not only the Latin but also the free spirited Greek fathers, the writings of an Origin were studied; so it naturally came about that from that school issued a more original and free development of theology than was elsewhere to be found, and was thence propagated to other lands.” f1092 Catchcart says: “Marriage probably existed, not in, but in connection with, most of the British and Irish monasteries. We see no reason to doubt the statement of Michelet, that ‘the Culdees of Ireland and Scotland permitted themselves marriage, and were independent, even when living under the rule of their order.’ But the mania that celibacy possessed soon spread over the world, and many of St. Patrick’s religious, Bible-loving descendants were caught in its delusive snare.” f1093 Guericke: “From the Irish cloisters missionaries went out into various regions and particularly to the Picts in Scotland.” f1094
Thus, first, Irish monasteries were originated after Patrick’s death; second, oven then exclusive celibacy in them was not their first rule; third, in their earliest history these monasteries differed but little from our educational institutions. Thus, in only believer’s baptism; in only immersion; in church government; in salvation by only the blood; in justification by faith only; in rejecting penance; in knowing nothing of transubstantiation; in giving both the bread and the wine to the laity; in being independent of Rome, St. Patrick was a Baptist and the first Irish churches were Baptist churches. To this may be added: St. Patrick and the first Irish churches knew nothing of priestly confession and priestly forgiveness; of extreme unction; of worship of images; of worship of Mary; of the intercession of Mary or of any departed saint; of purgatory; of persecution of opposers of the church — nothing of any of the Romish distinguishing peculiarities. Were Patrick not turned to dust, and were the body able to hear and turn, he would turn over in his coffin at the disgrace on his memory from the Romish church claiming him as a Roman Catholic.
