Excerpt: The Bishop of Kilmore is an episcopal title which takes its name after the parish of Kilmore in County Cavan, Ireland. In the Roman Catholic Church it remains a separate title, but in the Church of Ireland it has been united with other bishoprics. The diocese of Kilmore, originally called Tirbrunensis, Triburnia or Tybruinensis (Tir Briuin, the land of the clan of Brian, King of Connaught), was formally established at the Synod of Kells in 1152, with approximately the same boundaries as those of the ancient Kingdom of Breifne. In the sixth century St. Feithlimidh, the patron of the diocese, established a church at Kilmore, about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) south-west of Cavan town. It was rebuilt in the middle of the fifteenth century as a cathedral. It came to be know in Irish as An Chill Mhor (meaning The Great Church), and which gave its name to the diocese. After the Reformation, there were parallel apostolic successions. The Church of Ireland title was intermittently held with Ardagh until they were finally united in 1839. In 1841, Kilmore and Ardagh were amalgamated with Elphin to form the united bishopric of Kilmore, Elphin and Ardagh. The Roman Catholic title still continues as a separate bishopric. The current Incumbent is the Most Reverend Dr. Philip Leo O'Reilly, D.D., Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kilmore who was installed in 1998 at the Cathedral Church of Saints Patrick and Felim in Cavan, County Cavan, Ireland. ...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=1267791
