Politics, Interdenominational Relations and Education in the Public Ministry of Bishop James Doyle of Kildare and Leighlin, 1786-1834

Thomas McGrath

Synopsis:
Doyle enjoyed an international reputation as an outstanding advocate of the rights of Catholics and Ireland. This book examines in depth Doyle's intellectual and political contribution to contemporary Irish and English public life. As a fearless political prelate he elevated the image of the traditionally low profile hierarchy. No other Catholic clergyman or member of the episcopal bench was as remarkably productive in terms of publications across the whole range of Irish public affairs or as politically aggressive. Doyle's many publications under his own name, and that of J.K.L., contributed to debate on all the great issues of the day.
