Patrick was unsure if he was confident in the Church's missionary capability or its powerful doctrines; he believed that as long as Duncan did not suppress them, the Church would eventually replace the primitive Polytheism.

Duncan's interest grew as he looked at this person and said slowly, "As far as I know, your missionary work in Ireland hasn't gone smoothly. How then can you persuade them to surrender?"
Patrick built many churches and schools, gaining support among the lower classes.
