Synopsis
An in-depth study of the most significant Irish clergyman in the history of the state
For three decades, 1940-72, as Archbishop of Dublin and Primate of Ireland, John Charles McQuaid imposed his iron will on Irish politicians and instilled fear among his clergy and laity. No other churchman amassed the religious, political and social power which he exercised with unscrupulous severity.
An admirer of the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover, Archbishop McQuaid built up a vigilante system that spied on politicians and priests, workers and students, doctors and lawyers, nuns and nurses, soldiers and trade unionists.
There was no room for dissent when John Charles spoke in the name of Jesus Christ. This power was used to build up a Catholic-dominated state in which Protestants, Jews and feminists were not welcome.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine Hardcover with dust jacket. Based on extensive use of McQuaid's personal papers and Government records, John Cooney, one of Ireland's leading journalists, traces McQuaid's rise to power, and charts his downfall after the Second Vatican Council in the 1960's, which opened Ireland to the more secular outlook and values of the modern world. John Charles McQuaid personified Catholic power in Ireland- and sowed the seeds of the Church's dramatic decline in the 1990's. He was the last of the formidable Renaissance-style prelates of twentieth-century Ireland. Collector's Item. Seller Inventory # ABE-1705860384970
