Pierre Adolphe Pinsoneault
Pierre Adolphe Pinsoneault PSS (born November 23, 1815 in Montreal , † January 30, 1883 ibid) was a Canadian Roman Catholic clergyman and the first bishop of London in Ontario .
Life
He received in the December 19, 1840 Issy-les-Moulineaux , the ordination .
Pope Pius IX appointed Pierre Adolphe Pinsoneault on February 29, 1856 Bishop of London in Ontario. He received his episcopal ordination on May 18 of the same year in Montreal by the Bishop of Toronto Armand-François-Marie de Charbonnel OFMcap ; Co- consecrators were Joseph La Rocque , Coadjutor Bishop of Montreal, and David William Bacon , Bishop of Portland .
A few months after his episcopal ordination, Pierre Adolphe Pinsoneault moved the bishopric to Sandwich, today's Windsor in Ontario . In addition to the change of residence, this also brought about a change of name for the diocese. He resided in Sandwich from 1859 to 1867.
Pinsoneault's tenure was marked by the distrust of many Anglo-Canadians against him and by numerous conflicts with diocesan priests and religious convents in his jurisdiction, which he tried to resolve authoritatively. The diocese accumulated great debts under his leadership. On October 4, 1866, he resigned from his episcopate under papal instructions and was appointed titular bishop of Birtha on December 4, 1868 . He exercised auxiliary episcopal functions in the diocese of Montreal and was a literary advocate of ultramontanism .
