List Of Cathedrals In Ireland
This article lists the current and former cathedrals of the main Christian churches in Ireland. Since the main denominations are organised on an all-Ireland basis, this article includes information about both jurisdictions: Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Overview It is a commonly held perception that the term 'cathedral' may be applied to any particularly large or grand church. Whilst many cathedrals may be such, this is due to their ecclesiastical status (such a church is grand because it is a cathedral, rather than it being a cathedral because of its grandeur). A cathedral may therefore be a smaller building, particularly where they exist in sparser or poorer communities. Modern cathedrals may lack the grandeur of former times, focussing on the functional aspect of a place of worship, though it should be borne in mind that many of the grand and ancient cathedrals of today were originally built to a much smaller plan, and have been successively extended and rebu ...

Synod Of Ráth Breasail
The Synod of Ráth Breasail (or Rathbreasail; ) was a synod of the Catholic Church in Ireland that took place in Ireland in 1111. It marked the transition of the Irish church from a monastic to a diocesan and parish-based church. Many present-day Irish dioceses trace their boundaries to decisions made at the synod. Background Viking raids on Ireland began around the start of the 9th century, and had a devastating effect on the Irish church. These disruptions, along with secular impositions by the invaders, produced a decline in Christian religious observance and the moral standards established by Saint Patrick and other early missionaries. Apathy towards these Christian teachings increased, causing many parts of Ireland to return to paganism by the 11th century, weakening Christianity's grasp on the populace. Gradually, as the onslaughts of the Danes became less frequent, there was a revival of religious education, which prepared the way for the religious reforms of the 12th cent ...

Muiredach Of Killala
Saint Muiredach mac Echdach, also known as Murtagh, was the founding Bishop of Killala, Ireland in the 6th century. Life Muiredach was of the Cenél Lóegairi, and connected to the royal family of King Lóegaire mac Néill. He is described as an old man of Patrick's family, and was placed at the head of the Church of Killala by St. Patrick, as early as 442 or 443. The connection with Patrick doesn't reconcile with Muiredach's being active in the late 6th century, and probably reflects Armagh's interests in Killala. He appears active in County Sligo, and allegedly met with St. Columba in the year 575, in a town called Ballysadare. He likely retired to an island off the Sligo coast in Donegal Bay to an uninhabited island, Inishmurray, that bears his name. He may also be a patron of the monastery on that island founded by Laisrén mac Decláin. Muiredach died there as a hermit, and his feast day The calendar of saints is the traditional Christian method of organizing a ...
