    It is really an absolutely idiotic idea to think that Germans are never Catholic but always Lutheran.

    Yeah that is absolutely idiotic that's why I didn't say that.

    Maybe you should think about how idiotic your strawman is before you post it

    I am Scots with Irish relatives.

    So I have quart of Single Malt for the Scots
    And a quart of Bushmill's for the Irish

    It must have worked out well last year, for I woke up in Belfast. On May Day.

    Yep - I enjoy St. Patrick's Day, how fun it would be to be in Ireland in a country pub in County Kerry.

    I had been waiting to get my usual yearly Saint Patrick's Day card from Dublin.
    And already feared that I might get none this year.
    But it arrived on time today!

    Hell yes I'm celebrating St. Patrick's Day today, and I'm drinking a Guinness stout right now. :D

    ... these are my connections with Ireland:

    Long time ago Irish missionaries brought Christianity to my part of Germany.
    Among other things they founded my little home town - around the year Anno Domini 750.
    Irish names like Kilian are still used as Christian names in Germany today.

    And when I was in England in 1968/1969 I took the ferry from Scotland to Northern Ireland.
    By hitch-hiking right across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland I had the opportunity to talk with Catholics and Protestants alternatively and learn a lot about the country first hand.
