You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.203.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The [[Anglican]] '''Archbishop of Armagh''' is the ecclesiastical head of the [[Church of Ireland]], bearing the title [[Primate of All Ireland]], the [[metropolitan archbishop|metropolitan]] of the [[Province of Armagh (Church of Ireland)|Province of Armagh]] and the [[Diocesan Bishop|diocesan bishop]] of the [[Diocese of Armagh (Church of Ireland)|Diocese of Armagh]].<ref name=armanghomepage>[http://armagh.anglican.org/index.html Diocese of Armagh: Homepage].

The diocese traces its history to [[Saint Patrick]] in the 5th century, who founded the [[Episcopal see|See]]. His current successor is Bishop [[John McDowell (bishop)|John McDowell]] who was enthroned at his cathedra in [[St Patrick's Cathedral, Armagh (Church of Ireland)|St Patrick's Cathedral]] in [[Armagh]] on 28 April 2020 and signs as ''+John ARMAGH''.

==History==
[[File:Dioceses of Medieval Ireland.jpg|thumb|right|Maps of dioceses in Ireland as defined by the synod of Kells. From ''Historical Atlas'' by [[William Robert Shepherd|William R. Shepherd]].]]
Saint Patrick, having received some grants of land from the chieftain Daire, on the hill called ''Ard-Macha'' (the Height of Macha), built a stone church on the summit and a [[monastery]] and some other religious edifices round about, and fixed on this place for his metropolitan see. In Irish times, the primacy of Armagh was questioned only by the great southern centre of the Irish Church, at Cashel. [[Brian Boru]] recognized the supremacy of Armagh, possibly in a political move to gain support from Armagh for Boru's claim to the High Kingship. Another noteworthy incumbent was [[Saint Malachy|St. Malachy O'Morgair]] (1134–37), who suffered many tribulations in trying to effect a reformation in the diocese. St. Malachy is honoured as the patron saint of the diocese. When the English kings got a footing in the country, they began to intervene in the election of bishops. The English kings also began to claim possession of the temporalities of the sees during vacancies and to insist on the newly elected bishops suing them humbly for their restitution.<ref name=stpatscathhistory>((cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080907062155/http://www.stpatricks-cathedral.org/history.asp |

===Irish Reformation===
During the reign of [[Henry VIII of England|Henry VIII]], [[George Dowdall]], a zealous supporter of the king, had been elevated into the See of Armagh by that monarch, but on the introduction of the [[Book of Common Prayer]] in the reign of [[Edward VI of England|Edward VI]], he left the kingdom in disgust. Thereupon the king in 1552, appointed [[Hugh Goodacre]] to the see. He survived his consecration only three months.  In the beginning of the reign of [[Mary I of England|Mary I]], Dowdall was again appointed to the see on account of the great zeal he had shown against Protestantism.  [[Adam Loftus (Archbishop)|Adam Loftus]] (1563–67), from whom the Church of Ireland hierarchy derive their orders, was consecrated by [[Hugh Curwin]], [[Archbishop of Dublin (Church of Ireland)|Archbishop of Dublin]].<ref name=HOCBC/><ref name=pastabpsarmagh/>

===Later primates===
A most learned primate was [[James Ussher]] (1625–56), whose most important works were ''"Veterum Epistolarum Hibernicarum Sylloge"'', published in 1632, and ''"Brittanicarum Ecclesiarum Antiquitates"'', which appeared in 1639. He left his valuable library, comprising several thousand printed books and manuscripts, to [[Trinity College, Dublin]], and his complete works were published by that institution in twenty-four volumes. His judgment against toleration of Roman Catholics, i.e. "to consent that they may freely exercise their religion and profess their faith and doctrine is a grievous sin", was a signal for the renewal of persecution and led to the [[Confederate Ireland|Rising of the Irish Catholics]] in 1641.<ref name=HOCBC/><ref name=pastabpsarmagh/>

[[John Bramhall]] (1660–63), another learned divine, succeeded Ussher. His works on polemic and other subjects have been published in four folio volumes. [[Narcissus Marsh]] (1702–13), another learned prelate, built the noble [[Marsh's Library|library]] in Dublin which bears his name, filled it with a valuable collection of theological and Oriental works and liberally endowed it for the support of a librarian and deputy. [[Richard Robinson, 1st Baron Rokeby|Richard Robinson]] (1765–94) raised Armagh by his munificence from extreme decay to a state of opulence and embellished it with various useful public institutions. He built an episcopal headquarters, a public library, an infirmary, and an observatory.<ref name=HOCBC/><ref name=pastabpsarmagh/>

Lord [[Lord John Beresford|John George Beresford]] (1822–62) was also distinguished by his munificence. He restored [[St Patrick's Cathedral, Armagh (Church of Ireland)|Armagh Cathedral]] and is said to have spent £280,000 in acts of public benevolence. On his successor, [[Marcus Gervais Beresford]] (1862–65), fell a large portion of the task of providing for the future organization and sustentation of the Church of Ireland, which was disestablished from  1 January 1871. Prior to the [[disestablishment of the Church of Ireland]] in 1871, the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh was entitled to sit in the [[House of Lords]] as a [[Lords Spiritual|Lord Spiritual]], along with the other archbishops in rotation.<ref name=HOCBC/><ref name=pastabpsarmagh/>
