""Saint Patrick and the Western Apostolic Churches: Or The Religion of the Ancient Britains and Irish, Not Roman Catholic"" is a historical book written by William C. Brownlee. The book explores the origins of Christianity in the British Isles and Ireland, focusing on the role of Saint Patrick in spreading the faith. Brownlee argues that the early Christian church in this region was not Roman Catholic, but rather followed a distinct and independent tradition. He delves into the history of the Celtic Church and its unique practices, such as the tonsure and the use of the Celtic cross. The book also examines the influence of the Roman Catholic Church on the region and the conflicts that arose between the two traditions. Overall, ""Saint Patrick and the Western Apostolic Churches"" provides a detailed and fascinating look at the early history of Christianity in the British Isles and Ireland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
