Edward McCabe
Edward McCabe (born February 14, 1816 in Dublin , † February 11, 1885 there ; also Edward MacCabe ) was a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church and Archbishop of Dublin .
Life
McCabe first attended Father Doyle's School in Dublin and then moved to St. Patrick's College in Maynooth, County Kildare . He began a priestly formation, received on 24 June 1839, the priesthood by the Archbishop of Dublin, Daniel Murray , and was in a Dublin parish as pastor used. In 1854 he was appointed Bishop of Grahamstown ( South Africa called), but declined because he did not want to leave Ireland. In 1856 he took over the parish of St. Nicholas in Dublin. Cardinal Paul Cullen , Archbishop of Dublin, consecrated him titular Bishop of Gadara on July 25, 1877 , co- consecrators were John McEvily , Bishop of Galway , and Patrick Francis Moran , Bishop of Ossory . From then on, McCabe was auxiliary bishop in the Archdiocese of Dublin.
On April 4, 1879, McCabe succeeded Cardinal Cullen and was named archbishop. His tenure coincided with the upheaval in Ireland and he was increasingly exposed to attacks from liberals, reformers and the rural population. In the consistory of March 27, 1882 he was created cardinal priest, he received the cardinal's hat and the titular church of Santa Sabina on March 30 of the same year. Like his predecessor, McCabe had concerns about the modernization movements in Ireland; this meant that he received temporary police protection.
McCabe died on February 11, 1885 at his home in Dublin. He was buried in the Glasnevin Cemetery ( McCabe Monument ) in Dublin.
