Allege that an originally pagan population kept some of its customs going after conversion to Christianity if you must, but it makes no sense to call that 'appropriation'. That's like saying that eight year old me stole seven year old me's bike.

And that we’re saying early medieval Ireland is pagan with a Christian veneer. When in reality we can’t make hard lines like that regardless. Lots of reasons why stories and traditions hang on and continue.

And it’s difficult to discuss what these are without framing it in Christian/pre-Christian languages because I’d rather not use native/outsider, since that assumes Irish people had no agency for how Christianity developed or was taken on there.
