The Friends AGM was held on Sunday 15 June, this was a very busy day, we catered for over sixty Friends at lunch and the lovely portrait of our former Dean, Desmond Harman, was unveiled. You can read in this issue on page 10 how the artist Olivia Bartlett got her inspiration for the painting. We are delighted to welcome back one of our Canons – Ken Kearon. Ken has worked as Secretary General of the Anglican Communion since 2005. He has recently been appointed Bishop elect of Limerick and Killaloe. I would like to thank all those who were kind enough to write articles for this issue and also to Lynn Glanville for photographs. Wishing you all a Peaceful and Blessed Christmas.

Last year we inaugurated this day as Cathedral Foundation Day and this year we will be continuing in that vein. This is an occasion when I invite everyone who has any connection to the cathedral to come along and celebrate Choral Evensong with us at 6pm in the evening and enjoy a reception afterwards. This year I am inviting all the Friends of the cathedral to come along to this celebration. I do hope you are able to come and be with us for this celebration of cathedral life. If you do intend to be present on the evening please contact me by email to indicate your intentions. My email address is: [email protected]. You will see in this issue many events advertised for the Christmas season including the Christmas services. One that stands out is the annual service of Nine Lessons and Carols which takes place on Monday 22 December at 8pm. In the past we had to free-ticket this service as so many Dear Friends attended. In recent years the attendance numbers have dropped. I have therefore decided for the service to be a Welcome to this autumn edition of the Friend’s News.

This past year we celebrated a winter. particular event that enjoined the cathedral to the diocese in a common celebration of the life and ministry Blessings of one of our best loved archbishops, namely Donald Caird. Cathedrals have a special link with the archbishop Dermot of the day as it constitutes the teaching seat or cathedra for him to teach in the diocese on matters of faith and morals. In late July we honoured Donald as his biography, authored by our own Aonghus Dwane, was launched at a dedicated reception which took place after a celebration of Evensong. In a note from Nancy Caird, Donald’s dear wife (and I hope she will not mind me sharing this with you), she recounted how Donald came alive that evening, enjoying the contact with so many familiar faces and being back in his spiritual home. It was a delight to honour a man who was humble in his life and ministry, who was a great support to his priests and people and who gave so much to the life of the dioceses and to the cathedral. It was a tribute to him to see former archbishops present accompanied by our current primate, Archbishop Richard Clark of Armagh. We celebrate the life of St Lawrence O’Toole on 14 November next. It is a special day in the life of the cathedral commemorating the contribution to Christ Church made by the patron saint.

Kilkenny, by his wife, Anne (1707–1765), daughter of Welbore Ellis, Bishop of Meath, and a younger brother of James Agar, 1st Viscount Clifden (1734-1789). The Agars of Gowran owned c.20,000 statute acres in Co. Kilkenny, and controlled the two south Kilkenny boroughs of Gowran and Thomastown. This gave them a minimum of four seats in the Irish House of Commons, plus a fifth when an Agar was elected for the county of Kilkenny.

    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.

  • No Good Deed Goes Unpunished the Preservation and Destruction of the Christ Church Cathedral Deeds Stuart Kinsella
    Archive Fever, no. 10 (December 2019) No Good Deed Goes Unpunished The Preservation and Destruction of the Christ Church Cathedral Deeds Stuart Kinsella ‘Many charters were left scarcely legible, and particularly a foundation charter of King Henry II … could not by any means be read; the prior applied to the Barons of the Exchequer to enroll such of their deeds as were not wholly destroyed, and leave was accordingly given’ Image: Portrait of Michael Joseph McEnery, M.R.I.A., as printed in the Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Sixth Series, 14, no. 1 (1924): frontispiece. Beyond 2022 Archive Fever no. 10 (December, 2019) 1 | Page Archive Fever, no. 10 (December 2019) The Christ Church deeds were the oldest collection of material in the Public Record Office of Ireland. During the restoration of Christ Church in the 1870s, the cathedral authorities felt it wise to deposit the cathedral’s vast collection of medieval and early modern materials for safe keeping in the newly minted Public Record Office of Ireland, established in 1867, unaware, of course, that the materials would survive unscathed for only four decades.1 To the immense relief of posterity, a then junior civil servant in the office of the deputy keeper, was assigned to produce a calendar of the cathedral records, summarising them into English mostly from Latin and a few from French. Michael J. McEnery was his name, who began work in 1883, and was almost complete by 1884. He published them as appendices to the reports of the deputy keeper in 1888, 1891, 1892, with an index in 1895 up to the year 1602.

  • 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.
