Another teenage Ricardian here! I was brought up an atheist and was absolutely fascinated by Catholicism and the Latin Mass, all that ritual and esoterica (I think Katherine Kurtz's fantasy novels set in a world with a lot of nods to mediaeval Europe, where Catholicism was quite closely linked to magic, had something to do with that too). But I definitely found Patrick's loyalty to the traditional ways rather attractive when I first read AT and RAH (I struggled to get hold of the holiday books so those were the only ones I really encountered him in until I read PR very recently).
