Pk's Letter to Coroticus
- Coroticus had conducted a raid on
Ireland capturing and killing many of
Patrick's newly baptised Christians
- The teaching narrative included
have a clear impact not only on
Patrick but fellow Christians
- First theme= Denunciation of the
crimes he committed
- Getting him out of the Church
- 'They were butchered and
slaughtered with the sword'
- Patrick clearly makes the point of Judgement on his Soldiers
- Which naturally is to an extreme
level of hatred and anger
- Second Theme= Excommunication
- This is the reason
for his letter
- It is his and his soldiers own doing
- They blatantly killed and captured innocent newly baptised Christians
- Third= Solidarity
- He will have the church on his
back and together
- Patrick and his 'flock' are still strongly in one
- Christian Unity
- All Christians deserve respect
- Coroticus showed no
respect to the
Christians he killed
