Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Collections Relating to the Dioceses of Kildare and Leighlin The desirableness of collecting and placing in lasting shape the Records and traditions of the various Dioceses, is generally admitted. Each year that this work is delayed is attended with a proportionate loss of valuable information. Different causes combine towards rendering the acquisition of this class of information peculiarly difficult. The ancient Records that would have thrown light on our early national and ecclesiastical affairs, have, to a great extent, disappeared. The period, extending over three hundred years, during which the cruel penal code was rigorously enforced, furnishes but scanty documentary intelligence, and that confined in great measure to official papers preserved in the Roman archives, and those Returns ordered from time to time by a hostile legislature, apprehensive of the spread of Popery. The Catholics of that sad period, so far from having any inducement to place on record the affairs of the Church in Ireland, had cogent reasons for the contrary course, and thought themselves fortunate in being allowed to pass unnoticed, since notice meant, in most instance, persecution. Still, with all these drawbacks, a skilful gleaner could collect much information of an interesting and valuable kind illustrative of the history of the Church in the several districts of Ireland.
