Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Thomas William Croke D.D. (28 May 1824 22 July 1902) was the second Catholic Bishop of Auckland, New Zealand (1870-1874) and later Archbishop of Cashel and Emly in Ireland. He was important in the Irish nationalist movement and the main Gaelic Athletic Association stadium in Dublin is named Croke Park, in his honour. Thomas Croke was born in Castlecor (parish of Ballyclough), County Cork, in 1824. He was the third of eight children of William Croke, an estate agent, and his wife, Isabella Plummer, daughter of an aristocratic Protestant family who disowned her following her Catholic marriage in 1817. After William Croke died in 1834 his brother, the Reverend Thomas Croke, supervised the education and upbringing of the children. Two of Thomas''s brothers entered the priesthood, while two sisters became nuns. He was educated in Charleville, County Cork and at the Irish College in Paris and the Irish College in Rome, winning academic distinctions including a doctorate of divinity with honours. He was ordained in May 1847.
