The Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly has a Catholic population of 80,000 served by 159 priests in 46 parishes. It covers most of Co Tipperary and parts of Co Limerick. Its suffragan sees are Killaloe, Limerick, Kerry, Cloyne, Cork & Ross, Waterford & Lismore and Kifenora, though the latter is customarily listed with Tuam because it is administered by the Bishop of Galway & Kilmacduagh. Its official website is: www.cashel-emly.ie/. When the indult Quattuor Abhinc Annos came into force in 1984, Archbishop Thomas Morris was Archbishop since 1959 and he contined to serve until 1988. He was succeed by Archbishop Dermot Clifford, who had been Coadjutor Archbishop of Cashel and Emly since 1985. There has been a monthly SSPX varying between Cashel and Thurles for many years. The SSPX have one Irish student who is a native of Cashel, Co Tipperary named Peadar Walsh. The organisation Ecclesia Dei Ireland established an annual pilgrimage to Holycross Abbey, Holycross, Co Tipperary in 1992. Archbishop Morris presided at these liturgies until he died in 1997. In April, 2008, Fr John O'Rourke, parish priest of Gortnahoe and Glengoole, initiated a First Thursday a month Mass in Glengoole, Co Tipperary.

As observed, the current Irish student for the SSPX is a Munsterman and a native of the town of Cashel.

I think I met Peadar Walsh once. Nice guy - but I was sorry to see he was a devotee of Fr Denis Fahey CSSp.

This is a big problem in the English-speaking SSPX.

What I can't understand is that John Charles McQuaid made it crystall clear what he thought of Fr Fahey in the 1950s and trad Catholics forget that.

Yes. So did Archbishop Kinlan of Cashel and Emly, who happened to be Father Fahey's first cousin.

Father Fahey seemed to think the Jews were the root of all evil.

I heard a rumour that clergy of the Cashel diocese were planning to have TLM in Thurles Cathedral.

I think that was just a rumour.

The monthly Mass is continuing in Glengoole, but there is not much more to talk about in the Cashel Archdiocese. Though I have heard that Father Tom Cunningham CSSp says Mass privately in Rockwell College, with open doors.

I heard Father Cunningham says Mass in Rockwell and is assisted by Father Hurley CSSp. I also heard he did other venues in Tipperary.
Anyone know anything that can be published without breaking confidences?

I am in this Diocese and can't wait for Dermot Clifford to retire - for lots of reasons. Hopefully in 2014 or thereabouts we will get a better Archbishop. I have seen this man in action and he leaves a lot to be desired.

I think a lot of people in a lot of dioceses think the same way as Lean, but the question is, here in the case of Cashel, is there any priest available to replace Archbishop Clifford who would make a positive impact? I wonder this in respect of all 26 dioceses, as I don't see any evidence of major initiative from any Irish bishop.

I think that perhaps a priest would be nominated from outside the diocese to replace Clifford. In my humble opinion it doesn't matter who as long as its not another Kerryman ;D
