Brian Mac Cuarta All Books Catholic Revival sku-9873887

Brian Mac Cuarta's hardcover All Books title sku-9873887, Catholic Revival in the North of Ireland 1603-41, examines the Catholic revival in the ecclesiastical province of Armagh, covering Ulster and the northern Pale from the post-war period through the 1641 rising. Northern Irish resentment of Church of Ireland structures helped Catholicism gain ground in plantation Ulster. Priests trained on the Continent contributed to the revival but met opposition from traditionalist clergy. In the Pale, those clergy worked with landed and urban elites to withstand state religious coercion prevalent until about 1620. Educational links with the Continent, established in the 1590s, supported the Church's later, more assertive role despite tensions between older and newer strands.You may also like Professor Aloysius Balawyder: On the Road sku-32732949.
