The original Diocese of Cork was established by the Synod of Ráth Breasail in 1111, but was reduced in size by the establishment of separate Dioceses of Cloyne and Ross at the Synod of Kells in 1152.
On petition of King Edward II, Pope John XXII issued a papal bull for the union of the Dioceses of Cork and Cloyne on 30 July 1326, with effect from the death of either bishop. The union should have taken effect on the death of Philip of Slane in 1327, but bishops were still appointed to both dioceses.
The dioceses were eventually united on the episcopal appointment of Jordan Purcell on 15 June 1429, following their impoverishment from the robbery of church property by the nobility.[1]
Following a decree by Pope Benedict XIV on 10 December 1747, the Diocese of Cork was reconstituted as a stand-alone entity, while the Diocese of Cloyne was united with Ross.[1]
Diocese of Cork and Ross (1958–present)edit
The modern-day Diocese of Cork and Ross was formed by an ex aequo principaliter union of the Dioceses of Cork and Ross on 19 April 1958.[1]
The parishes are grouped into sixteen "families of parishes", twelve of which came into effect on 10 September 2022, in which each priest will be resident in one parish but ministering across the entire family of parishes, and greater opportunities will exist for lay participation and shared leadership.[2][3][4][5]
