- Summary
- Daniel Murray (1768-1852) is a virtually forgotten figure in Irish history. Yet, as Archbishop of Dublin from 1823 until his death in 1852, he was the pre-eminent figure in the Irish Church. His years as Archbishop saw the advent of Catholic Emancipation, the controversies surrounding the Repeal movement, and the tragedy of the Great Famine, in all of which he exercised decisive leadership. Passionately concerned with the education of the poor, he encouraged new religious order to open schools in his diocese, supported the national education system against much opposition, and was a fearless advocate for the proposed Queen's Colleges. Gentle and compassionate by nature, Murray's legacy can be seen throughout the Ireland of today, and perhaps most prominently in the city of Dublin. This book argues that Murray's extraordinary abilities as mediator for the Irish Church isolate him from the emerging Ireland, in which Irish identity and Catholicism were becoming ever more closely linked. Murray's pragmatic focus on the betterment of the Catholic people of Ireland, and his willingness to negotiate with officials in Britain and Rome on their behalf, created a perception of him as a 'man of the castle', a perception at odds with his single-minded concern for his people. This book is also a reminder of the vale of political moderation at a time of growing polarization. -- Published description
