Church of Ireland United Dioceses of Dublin & Glendalough Church of Ireland House Church Avenue Rathmines Dublin 6 The Most Reverend Dr Michael Jackson Archbishop of Dublin and Bishop of Glendalough Tel: 00353 1 4125663 Primate of Ireland and Metropolitan [email protected] Sunday June 14th 2020 The First Sunday after Trinity Dear Bishop Hosam I write to you on my own behalf and on behalf of all the people and clergy of The Diocese of Dublin and Glendalough to offer you our heartfelt prayers and warmest greetings on the day of your episcopal consecration. The link of partnership and friendship that we share between The Diocese of Jerusalem and the Middle East and The Diocese of Dublin and Glendalough is life giving to us. It frames our faith and it frames our identity. Our deep and sustained relationship of prayer and friendship with the people and clergy of your diocese connects us tangibly to the roots of our belief through the everyday witness of The Living Stones of today in The Land of The Holy One. Your presence and your engagement are an inspiration to us all. In other circumstances, I should have been delighted and honoured to accept your invitation to be with you and to participate in your consecration. The global pandemic COVID 19 has changed all of this and made it impossible. I shall, nonetheless, be with you in heart and in mind on this historic day for the Church of God, for you as a follower of Jesus Christ and for all members of your family. We shall pray for you in Christ Church Cathedral at our Eucharist today. In commending you to God Almighty, I share with you and all who gather with you in Jerusalem on this day the words of The Peace for The Day of Pentecost: The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace. If we live in the Spirit, let us walk in the Spirit. (Galatians 5.22). They come with our love, joy peace for you. Yours sincerely +Michael Archbishop of Dublin and Bishop of Glendalough .

The Survival of the Confraternities in Post-Reformation Dublin
The Survival of the Confraternities in Post-Reformation Dublin COLM LENNON St. Patrick 's College, Maynooth When the Reformation came to Dublin in the 1530s it might have seemed as if the age of the confraternities or religious guilds of the city was over. As elsewhere in Europe, these institutions provided conduits for obituar- ial prayer for members and their families, welfare for the deprived, education for the young, and pomp and pageantry for citizens during the civic year. Handsomely endowed with gifts of money, lands and houses, the guilds gave employment to an increasing number of lay-ap- pointed chaplains who celebrated mass at the confraternal altars in the parish churches of Dublin. By the early sixteenth century the guilds had acquired the titles to properties yielding hundreds of pounds per annum in rents from estates in the city, suburbs and vicinity. Membership incorporated men and women from all social orders within the munici- pality, although the preponderance of patrician brothers and sisters in certain key guilds such as those of St. Sythe's in St. Michan's, St. Anne's in St. Audoen's and Corpus Christi in St. Michael's parish was to be a significant feature of their later survival into the seventeenth century. Con- tinuity with medieval devotions was enshrined in the practices and pieties of the guilds, those of St. George and St. Mary's, Mulhuddard, providing an awning for holy wells to the east and west of the city, for example, and the fresco behind the altar of St. Anne's denoting veneration of the holy family.

John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal
John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal Ágnes Juhász-Ormsby The Episcopal Library of St. John’s is among the few nineteenth- century libraries that survive in their original setting in the Atlantic provinces, and the only one in Newfoundland and Labrador.1 It was established by John Thomas Mullock (1807–69), Roman Catholic bishop of Newfoundland and later of St. John’s, who in 1859 offered his own personal collection of “over 2500 volumes as the nucleus of a Public Library.” The Episcopal Library in many ways differs from the theological libraries assembled by Mullock’s contemporaries.2 When compared, for example, to the extant collection of the Catholic bishop of Victoria, Charles John Seghers (1839–86), whose life followed a similar pattern to Mullock’s, the division in the founding collection of the Episcopal Library between the books used for “private” as opposed to “public” theological study becomes even starker. Seghers’s books showcase the customary stock of a theological library with its bulky series of manuals of canon law, collections of conciliar and papal acts and bullae, and practical, dogmatic, moral theological, and exegetical works by all the major authors of the Catholic tradition.3 In contrast to Seghers, Mullock’s library, although containing the constitutive elements of a seminary library, is a testimony to its found- er’s much broader collecting habits. Mullock’s books are not restricted to his philosophical and theological studies or to his interest in univer- sal church history. They include literary and secular historical works, biographies, travel books, and a broad range of journals in different languages that he obtained, along with other necessary professional 494 newfoundland and labrador studies, 32, 2 (2017) 1719-1726 John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal tools, throughout his career.

Tlbam L..Oftus, Ttrcbbtsbop of I'>Ublin
ADAM LOFTUS, ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN 595 tlbam l..oftus, ttrcbbtsbop of i'>ublin. Bv THE REv. WILLIAM COW AN. HEN Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne, the majority W of her subjects were still attached to the Mass though opposed to the Pope. Beyond the Tweed a hostile Sovereign was both her personal rival and her legitimate heir. Of Ireland she held at the beginning little more than the fringe, and the whole country her Continental enemies hoped to wrench from her rule, and to organize into a base for invasion. It would be hard to dogmatize as to her religious belief. Her mind seems to have wavered between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. She has been accounted a great Protestant Queen, and no doubt she did more to root Protestantism in the land and develop and strengthen it than any other English Sovereign ; but it was not because she embraced it heartily and with the whole consent of her mind, but because, as Froude shows, she cleverly and unscrupulously played the two great Roman Catholic powers, France and Spain, against each other, and the policy gave England an advantage. She had not the profound conviction of William the Silent, and in moral grandeur and loyal-hearted devotion to duty she cannot be compared to the late Queen Victoria. It w,as only after some hesitation that Elizabeth resolved to revive the policy of her brother Edward. With a keen insight into the drift of things, she saw that the new opinions would tend best to the greatness and glory of the kingdom, and the welfare of the people, and she gave her support to the Reformation.

Archbishop William Walsh
ARCHBISHOP WILLIAM WALSH By JoHN E. BunNs (Read before the Nova Scotia Histmical Society, March 1, 1940) The sources of this paper are: 1. A collection of letters in the Chancery Office of the Archdiocese of Halifax. This collection is quite large, including letters to Archbishop Walsh from British and American bishops, and from various prominent persons; also copies of letters from Archbishop Walsh. Among the latter is a large collection made from originals now at the Irish College in Rome. As the rector of this college was Archbishop Walsh's repre sentative in Rome, the letters are of considerable value. Later, when the Archives of Propaganda for this period become available, it will be possible to add still fmther to this collection. As one reads these letters one remarks the difference in style between them and modern correspondence of the same type. The crisp and unadorned style of the modern business letter is quite absent. Attention i13 given to the form of the salutation and to various courteous turns of phrase. An example to mustrate the point is a letter from Sir Robert Peel. Bishop Wal.sh had written Sir Robert asking that provision be made for the religious needs of Catholic soldiers stationed at Halifmx:. SiT Robert's reply is written in his own hand, and is a perfect example of the formal business style used by one gentleman when writing to another gentleman, when the first gentleman had not the honom of the second gentleman's acquantance. WlJitehall, August 22, 1845 Sir Robert Peel presents his compliments to Bishop Walsh and begs leave to acquaint Bishop Walsh that although amid the severe pressure of Parliamentary and official business he fears that he omitted to acknowledge a memorandum which Bishop Walsh sent to Sir Robert Peel through the intervention of the O'Connor Don, he did not fail to read this memorandum with the attention due to it as well from the importance of the subject as from the character and station of Bishop W aJsh.

LEAVING CERTIFICATE HISTORY CASE STUDY Meiler Magrath’s Clerical Career EARLY MODERN IRELAND: TOPIC 2 REBELLION AND CONQUEST IN ELIZABETHAN IRELAND, 1558-1603 A resource for teachers of Leaving Certificate History, developed by the National Library of Ireland in association with the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment Written by: Dr Brian Kirby Steering Committee: Dr Ciaran Brady, Mr John Dredge, Dr Noel Kissane, Mr Gerry Lyne Contents Introduction 3 Biographical Notes 6 Glossary 9 List of abbreviations 11 Chronology of Meiler Magrath's life 12 Documents used in case study 14 Documents 16 2 Introduction Meiler Magrath was one of the most prominent and controversial figures of Elizabethan Ireland. He was born into a Gaelic ecclesiastical family in Fermanagh. His kin held the territory of *Termon Magrath which included St. Patrick’s Purgatory on Lough Derg. Meiler became a Franciscan friar and in October 1565 he was appointed bishop of Down and Connor by the Pope. Soon afterwards, however, he was captured by the English, took the oath of supremacy and conformed to Protestantism. Even though the exact circumstances of his conversion remain unknown, it is clear that Queen Elizabeth had enough faith in Magrath to appoint him bishop of Clogher in 1570 and promote him to the archbishopric of Cashel five months later. During his long clerical career he also received appointments to the bishoprics of Waterford and Lismore and Killala and Achonry. However, this brief sketch of Magrath’s life does little justice to a man who became an extremely influential political figure in the latter years of Elizabeth’s reign.

Public Record Office of Northern Ireland 2 Crown Copyright 2007 O’Hagan Papers Background O'Hagan was born into a Roman Catholic family engaged in the spirit trade in Belfast. His father had sufficient means and aspirations for his son, to send the young O'Hagan to the foremost educational establishment in contemporary Belfast – the Royal Belfast Academical Institution. This school had at this time a liberal Presbyterian tradition and ethos. After a distinguished career at the Institution O'Hagan edited for a period the ‘Ulster Magazine’ until, on its failure, he entered the legal profession in 1831 by becoming a student of the King's Inns, Dublin, and its London counterpart. He was called to the bar in 1836 and practised on the north-east Irish circuit and in Dublin. He was married twice; firstly, in 1836, to Mary Teeling, of Belfast, who died in 1868, and by whom he had six children; secondly, in 1871, to Alice Mary Towneley of Towneley, Lancashire, who survived him, and by whom he had a further six children.
