Sorry about that triple entry ??? I posted then went back to things I *should have been doing! Looked this a.m. and deleted two.
Re the Final Judgement : At the end of the article I quoted there is this - QUOTE:

There is no question that Patrick taught us by his example that all life is, indeed, precious. Yet it's hard to imagine that there isn't a soft spot in his heart reserved just for the Irish.
In fact, there is an old legend that promises that on the last day, though Christ will judge all the other nations, it will be St. Patrick sitting in judgment on the Irish.
When asked whether that spelled good news or bad news for the Irish, Cahill doesn't hesitate.
"That's great news for the Irish," he says with a laugh.
End Quote.
