Catholic

St Pat was definitely Catholic, he is credited for founding most of the Catholic Churches in Ireland which actually was a great thing, because the Irish churches kept most of the manuscripts and literature which was used to form western civilization. All other sources of greek philosophy, Roman architecture, law etc.... was destroyed when the barbarians sacked Rome. If is wasn't for Irish priests and St Patrick we would have lost the very way we view the world today. Here is to saint Pat.

LOL Saint Patrick lived many centuries (around 10) before Lutheranism started. Most would call him catholic, but he was kind of rebellious as far as the pope was concerned: he did his own thing. The Roman Catholic Church was not quite as all powerful at the time.
Saint Patrick was actually de-sainted a couple of decades ago. So he is not even a saint accoding to the Roman Catholic church. (Not a very smart move as far as winning friends and influencing people is concerned!)

St. Patrick was a Catholic. He is credited with bringing religion to Ireland. He also drove all the snakes out of Ireland.

Patrick lived before Martin Luther, so could not have been a Lutheran.

Saint Patrick (Latin: Patricius[2], Irish: Naomh Pádraig) was a Christian missionary and is regarded as the patron saint of Ireland along with Brigid of Kildare and Columba. Patrick was born in Britain. When he was about sixteen he was captured by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to Ireland, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. He entered the church, as his father and grandfather had before him, becoming a deacon and a bishop. He later returned to Ireland as a missionary, working in the north and west of the island, and by using Monasteries as the center for his missionary work had great success in the conversion of Ireland. By the seventh century he had become a patron saint of Ireland, and the foundations of Irish Christianity were attributed largely to him.

The available evidence does not allow the dates of Patrick's life to be fixed with certainty, but it appears that he was active as a missionary in Ireland during the second half of the fifth century. Two letters from him survive, along with later hagiographies from the seventh century onwards. Many of these works cannot be taken as authentic traditions. Uncritical acceptance of the Annals of Ulster (see below) would imply that he lived from 373 to 493, and ministered in northern Ireland from 433 onwards.

He lived before the Great Schism of 1054 A.D. Fourth and Fifth Centuries. There was no Protestantism or Luther until the Fifteenth Century.

Give you any clues?
