Fr Paddy's book on controversial Archbishop
Subtitled 'The Enigma of Cashel', the book will be formally launched on Tuesday 7 October by William Nolan PhD, Professor Emeritus of Geography, in St Mary's College, Rathmines, Dublin, at 7pm.
Everybody from the Parish is welcome to attend the event, which is being hosted by Marc Whelan CSSp, Spiritan Provincial of Fr Ryan's order (Holy Ghost Congregation).
Fr Ryan was a long-time missionary and historian, and has had a fascination with Archbishop MaGrath since he was a student, selecting the man as the subject of his thesis for his MA.
Magrath was in turn a Fransciscan priest, a Catholic Bishop, and a Protestant Archbishop during his life, which ended when he was 100 years old in 1622. He also married, and had nine children. Fr Paddy has looked more deeply into all the sources about the man, and has come up with a book which makes the Archbishop's life and beliefs more clear.
Archbishop Miler MaGrath - The Enigma of Cashel is published by Lisheen Publications, Roscrea.
