Daniel Murray was undoubtedly the outstanding Irish Catholic
archbishop of the nineteenth century. He was a man of elegance and
charm, ready to listen to others and to find good in them. To the
redoubtable Bishop Doyle of Kildare and Leighlin, the archbishop
was `an angel of a man’.His concern for the education of the poor
led to the founding of the Irish Sisters of Charity and the
invitation to Dublin of the Sisters of Mercy and the Irish
Christian Brothers. His interest in the education of the middle
class was manifested in the foundation of the Sisters of Loreto and
in his support for the schools of the Jesuits and the Vincentians.
A man of great pastoral energy, he built numerous churches and
readily encouraged lay involvement in the work of the diocese. He
was actively involved in assisting the Holy See in the appointment
of priests and bishops around the world and his efforts to provide
aid to the needy during the Great Famine, and the veneration and
respect he inspired in his clergy, further contributed to the high
esteem in which he was held. And yet, he is a virtually forgotten
figure in Irish history.This neglect is related to the stance he
took on some issues of the day – his support for certain
government initiatives, his opposition to his clergy’s
involvement in politics, and his caution about openly supporting
Repeal.
