Enforcing the English Reformation in Ireland
This book explores the enforcement of the English Reformation in the heartland of
English Ireland during the sixteenth century. Focusing on the diocese of Dublin – the
central ecclesiastical unit of the Pale – James Murray explains why the various
initiatives undertaken by the reforming archbishops of Dublin, and several of the
Tudor viceroys, to secure the allegiance of the indigenous community to the
established church ultimately failed. Led by its clergy, the Pale’s loyal colonial
community ultimately rejected the Reformation and Protestantism because it
perceived them to be irreconcilable with its own traditional English culture and
medieval Catholic identity. Dr Murray identifies the Marian period, and the opening
decade of Elizabeth I’s reign, as the crucial times during which this attachment to
survivalist Catholicism solidified, and became a sufficiently powerful ideological
force to stand against the theological and liturgical innovations advanced by the
Protestant reformers.
