4.9/5 (19755 ratings)

Description:The spread of the French Revolution threatened the future not only of the continental Church, but of the domestic Church which depended on the European colleges for the education of the clergy. The security of the kingdom was also threatened and this crisis brought about novel developments in relations between the government and the Catholic hierarchy. Throughout the decade the hierarchy engaged in a curious battle to maintain the loyalty of the clergy, while at the same time opposing attempts by the government to establish a veto on episcopal appointment. In spite of the efforts of prelates, many of the clergy became involved in radical politics and 70 priests were implicated in the rebellion of 1798. The events of the decade, the turmoil on the continent, the radical challenge of the United Irishmen at home and the attempt of the government to establish a measure of control, represented potential disaster for the Irish Church. The hierarchy, however, skillfully exploited the crisis, established Maynooth College and through perseverance and diplomacy succeeded in creating the modern Irish Church in the process.
