The PRESENT (1851) Commander of the Forces. ARCHBISHOPRICS AND BISHOPRICS OF IRELAND. THERE were formerly four Archbishoprics and eighteen Bishoprics in Ireland, many of which included merged sees. By the Church Temporalities Act, 3 & 4 William IV., cap. 37. (passed Aug. 14, 1833), the Archbishoprics of Cashel and Tuam were eventually abolished, on the decease of the then existing archprelates; and the suffragan bishoprics were, in like manner, reduced from eighteen to ten by the union of certain of the sees, accordingly as they became vacant, whether by the decease or the translation of the respective prelates: All these sees have now merged in the sees directed by the above-named act; the see of Clogher (united to Armagh in 1850) being the last. ARCHBISHOPRIC OF ARMAGH. ST. PATRICK, the Apostle of Ireland, built a church, and fixed a bishop's see, here in the year 444 or 445. One Daire, a man of great affluence and high reputation among his own people, granted the site whereon the church was built, near the river Callan. The bishops were not invested with the pallium until the year 1152 (March 9), when it was also conferred (at the hands of the cardinal-priest, John Paparo, legate from pope Eugene III.) on the sees of Dublin, Cashel, and Tuam. At that period, the dignity of "Primate of all Ireland" was recognised as belonging to the Archbishops of Armagh, of whom Gelasius was the first. The archdiocese includes four parishes in the county of Derry, one-third of the county of Tyrone, and nearly all of the counties of Armagh and Louth. The province over which the Archbishop presides as metropolitan, comprises the dioceses of Meath, Clogher, Derry, Down and Connor, and Dromore, Tuam, Clonfert, with Kilmore, Elphin, and Ardagh. His grace is, ex officio, prelate of the order of St. Patrick, lord almoner to the queen, vice-chancellor of the university of Dublin, and a member of the Irish privy council. The episcopal residence is in Armagh. THIS see was founded by St. Macartin, who was one of the earliest disciples of St. Patrick, "an indefatigable assistant to him in preaching the word of God, so he was called the staff and support of his old age." He fixed the see at Clogher, where he also built a monastery "at the command of St. Patrick, in the street before the royal seat of the kings of Ergal." The diocese comprises the counties of Monaghan and Fermanagh, with parts of Tyrone, Donegal, and Louth. It is suffragan to Armagh, and on the decease of the present bishop, it will merge into that see. Incorrectness is the least fault in the accounts of the early bishops; we shall therefore name those 1 This prelate was appointed by the king; but the pope would never confirm him in the see, and appointed Robert Wauchope, a Scotsman, who was never allowed possession. |
