See of Glendalough

edit

The See of Glendalough is a distinct area of parishes and institutions within the Church of Ireland. The CofI Archbishop of Dublin retains the title ‘Bishop of Glendalough’ in right of this diocese. This has been continuously maintained from pre-reformation times.

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin did not retain any boundary or distinction between the Dublin area and the former Glendalough diocese. It has revived the Bishopric of Glendalough as a purely formal title since 1969. It has not revived the Diocese of Glendalough as such. LODU70 (talk) 12:39, 26 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

The CoI-tradition does not use the title as a separate title any more, where in the Catholic tradition the title is still actively in use. The Banner talk 12:45, 26 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
It is used as a separate title. On the diocesan website and in official documents the Archbishop of Dublin is also styled as ‘Bishop of Glendalough’. More than that, the diocesan boundaries of Glendalough have been maintained, and there are also distinct Diocesan institutions and officers for Glendalough (https://dublin.anglican.org/parishes)
In the RC church however, the diocese has simply been absorbed into the Dublin Archdiocese, along with the title- which was only revived in 1969 (as attested to in the article). LODU70 (talk) 12:55, 26 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
