Bishop of Meath

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ecclesiastical office in Ireland

TheBishop of Meath is anepiscopal title which takes its name after the ancientKingdom of Meath. In theCatholic Church it remains as a separate title, but in theChurch of Ireland it has been united with another bishopric.

History

[edit]

Until the early twelfth century, the Kingdom of Meath had been divided into eight small monasticepiscopal sees, which were located atClonard,Duleek,Kells,Trim,Ardbraccan,Dunshaughlin,Slane, andFore. By the time of theSynod of Rathbreasail, held in 1111, the last five had been united to the see of Clonard. Duleek was still recognized as a separate bishopric at theSynod of Kells, held in 1152, but disappeared not long after that date. The see of Kells was ruled together with Breifne (laterKilmore) in the second half of the twelfth century, but after 1211 Kells was incorporated into thediocese of Meath.

During the twelfth century, the bishops of Clonard were frequently called the "bishop of Meath" or "bishop of the men of Meath". BishopSimon Rochfort transferred his seat fromClonard toTrim in 1202 and the title "bishop of Meath" became the normal style.

Following theReformation, there were two parallelapostolic successions. In theChurch of Ireland, thebishopric of Clonmacnoise became part of Meath in 1569. In 1976, the bishoprics of Meath andKildare were combined to become the unitedbishopric of Meath and Kildare.

Alone of English and Irish Anglican bishops, the bishop is styled "The Most Reverend", for historical reasons.[clarification needed]

In theCatholic Church, Meath is still a separate title. The Catholic bishop's seat is located atChrist the King Cathedral, Mullingar. The current bishop is the Most ReverendThomas Deenihan Bishop of Meath, who succeeded to the title on 18 June 2018.
