Why do Catholics think Paddys day belongs to them.?

Q: The Royal Irish Regiment celebrate it BIG style every year but always with a sort service from the Padre to remind us why we celebrate. We are mixed races and colours and St Patrick would turn in his grave if he thought the Irish People were fighting amonst themselves/

A: Most of the time the Catholic Church is attacked for the idea of naming saints. So why would anyone who is not Catholic and does not believe in the saints celebrate the feast day of a Saint. There wouldn't be a St. Patrick's Day if the Catholic Church hadn't named Patrick a Saint.
