    March 23, 2019 ! EU president’s praise for Catholic teaching welcomed A call from European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker for the EU to rediscover its Catholic roots is an invitation for politicians to bring Catholic values to bear in their work, Bishop Noel Treanor (above) of Down and Connor has said. [email protected] Page !1 March 23, 2019 Addressing the spring assembly of COMECE – the European bishops’ conference – Mr Juncker spoke effusively about the importance of Catholic social teaching, upon which the European project was founded in the aftermath of World War Two. “I am a fervent advocate of the social doctrine of the Church. It is one of the most noble teachings of our Church,” Mr Juncker said on March 14. “All of this is part of a doctrine that Europe does not apply often enough. I would like us to rediscover the values and guiding principles of the social teaching of the Church.” Speaking to The Irish Catholic, Bishop Treanor explained that Mr Juncker had been looking back on the achievements and challenges that have marked the European project over the last five years, looking ahead to the future. “He began by emphasising that this European project is inclusive, it doesn’t exclude anybody,” Dr Treanor said. “He quoted Pope John Paul II, saying it has two lungs – east and west – and went on to talk about the European Union being a peace-building project. “He emphasised the importance of that, mentioning that after some 60-70 years of European construction the permanent challenge of building, maintaining, and consolidating peace is something that escapes those who have not had the experience of war, and in terms of our relationships with our neighbours and in terms of internal tensions the importance of building true peace and security is foundational,” he said.

I am beginning to feel that, having lived on three continents and seen much, I have seen a lot. Many of you in the Diocese have known me longer than I have known myself! But even those of you who are around longer haven’t seen it all, it would seem. When have we ever seen it all? Never. But we do learn lessons from the past in order to live now. We are truly living in strange and bewildering times. When I say that people have lived through such times before, in our communities locally, nationally, and worldwide, that is not in any way to diminish our own sense of anxiety and vulnerability at this time. Almost certainly by the time this issue of the Diocesan Magazine gets to you (however it does) things will have changed again; they are changing by the hour, yet alone the day.

For background information, refer to: Richard Caulfield, Annals of the cathedral of St. Colman, Cloyne (Cork, 1882), and for biographical material: W. Maziere Brady, Clerical and parochial records of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, 3 vols. (Dublin, 1863). From the Dean of Cloyne, the Very Rev. George Hilliard, 1996 1 1.

  • The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis
    THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system.

    Representative Church Body Library, Dublin D 16 Records of the diocese of Cloyne. 1634-1934 A miscellaneous collection of loose papers and a few bound volumes, relating to the diocese of Cloyne, from the early seventeenth century to the early twentieth century. This includes eighteenth-century visitations and rural deanery returns; as well as many items relating to the administration of the diocese, c. 1634 - 1934. Much of the early material relates to the achievements of a succession of bishops (including George Synge, Edward Synge, William Pallister, John Pooley and Charles Crow), in regaining control lands belonging to the diocese of Cloyne, which had been unlawfully granted out of diocesan control to the Fitzgeralds and other families, by a fee-farm lease, dated 1575. The wide range of miscellaneous material in the collection includes an unusual book of oaths, which records oaths sworn by new incumbents and lay officers 1675-1717, and a rare astrological chart. The collection also contains material relating to the Archer, Purdon, Hanby, Uniacke, Barry, Longfield and related families, of counties Cork and Dublin, as well as routine diocesan business.

  • Kildare Town Walls
    KILDARE TOWN WALLS CONSERVATION, INTERPRETATION & MANAGEMENT PLAN November 2014 © Howley Hayes Architects 2014 Howley Hayes Architects & CRDS Ltd. were commissioned by the Kildare Town Tourism Group, Kildare County Council and the Heritage Council to prepare a Conservation, Management & Interpretation Plan for the historic town defences of Kildare, Co. Kildare. The surveys on which this plan are based were undertaken in July and September 2014. We would like to thank; Bridget Loughlin, Peter Black and Mario Corrigan of Kildare County Council; Liam Mannix of the Irish Walled Towns Network; Joe Flanagan owner of the site of Kidlare Castle; Ken Dunne of Kildare Cathedral; Kildare Tourism Group members Frieda O’ Connell and Paul Lenehan and especially Tom Mc Cutcheon; for their time and valuable input in the preparation of this plan, together with all those who attended the public meeting and who provided useful feedback on the early drafts and supported the initiative. SUMMARY & CONCLUSIONS • Kildare is located fifty kilometres southwest of Dublin close to the M7, on the main road to Cork. It is situated on relatively high ground overlooking the Curragh plain to the east at ten kilometres equidistant from the rivers Barrow and Liffey. • It is arguably the oldest continuously occupied settlement in the country, in its possible origins as a pre- Christian shrine, in the form of a perpetual fire, dedicated to the Celtic deity, Brigid. • In the late fifth-century, St. Brigid founded a church and monastery on the site that flourished as an important pilgrimage site, and was recorded as being a city as early as the seventh century.
