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 3.84.0.0/16 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 00:10, 24 April 2026.

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.

[[File:Archdiocese of Glasgow (reign of David I).png|200px|right|thumb|[[William Forbes Skene|Skene]]'s map of Scottish bishoprics in the reign of [[David I of Scotland|David I]] (reigned 1124–1153).]]
The '''Archdiocese of Glasgow''' was one of the thirteen (after 1633 fourteen) [[diocese]]s of the Scottish church. It was the second largest diocese in the [[Kingdom of Scotland]], including [[Clydesdale (district)|Clydesdale]], [[Teviotdale]], parts of [[Tweeddale]], [[Liddesdale]], [[Annandale, Dumfries and Galloway|Annandale]], [[Nithsdale]], [[Cunninghame]], [[Kyle, Ayrshire|Kyle]], and [[Strathgryfe]], as well as [[Lennox (district)|Lennox]], [[Carrick, Scotland|Carrick]] and the part of Galloway known as [[Desnes, Galloway|Desnes]].

Glasgow became an archbishopric in 1492, eventually securing the dioceses of Galloway, Argyll and the Isles as [[suffragan]]s. The Scottish church broke its allegiance to Rome in 1560, but bishops continued intermittently until 1689.

== History ==
The diocese of Glasgow became important in the 12th century. It was organized by King [[David I of Scotland]] and [[John the Chaplain|John]], [[Bishop of Glasgow]]. There had been an earlier religious site the exact age of which is unknown. According to doubtful hagiographical tradition, this ecclesiastical site had been established by [[Saint Mungo|Saint Kentigern]]. The bishopric became one of the largest and wealthiest in the [[Kingdom of Scotland]], bringing wealth and status to the town. Somewhere between 1175 and 1178 this position was strengthened even further when [[Jocelin (Bishop of Glasgow)|Bishop Jocelin]] obtained for the episcopal settlement the status of [[burgh]] from King [[William I of Scotland|William the Lion]], allowing the settlement to expand with the benefits of trading monopolies and other legal guarantees. Sometime between 1189 and 1195 this status was supplemented by an annual fair, which survives to this day as the [[Glasgow Fair]].

Until 1560, when practice of the Catholic Faith was suppressed by act of the [[Parliament of Scotland]], nearly all the bishops of Glasgow took an active share in the government of the country; whether as [[Lord Chancellor of Scotland|chancellors]] or [[Treasurer of Scotland|treasurers]] of the kingdom or as members of regency during the minority of a sovereign. [[Robert Wishart]] (consecrated 1272, d. 1316) was conspicuous for his patriotism during the [[Wars of Scottish Independence|Scottish War of Independence]] from [[England]], and was the close friend of [[William Wallace]] and [[Robert I of Scotland|Robert Bruce]]. [[William Turnbull (bishop)|William Turnbull]] (consecrated 1447, d. 1454), obtained in 1450 from [[Pope Nicholas V]] the charter of foundation for the [[University of Glasgow]].

On 9 January 1492, [[Pope Innocent VIII]] raised the see to [[metropolitan bishop|metropolitan]] rank, attaching to it the [[suffragan diocese]]s of Argyle, Dunblane, Dunkeld, and Galloway. [[James Beaton (archbishop of Glasgow)|James Beaton]], nephew of the celebrated [[cardinal (Catholicism)|Cardinal]] [[David Beaton]], was the fourth and last [[archbishop]] of the old hierarchy.

In 1560, eight years after his nomination, he was forced to retire to [[France]], where he acted as confidential agent of [[Mary, Queen of Scots]], and later openly as ambassador for [[James I of England|James VI]], till his death in [[Paris]], 25 April 1603. He carried away with him the diocesan records, two of which deserve special mention: (1) "Registrum Vetus Ecclesiae Cathedralis Glasguensis", in handwriting of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and (2) "Liber Ruber Ecclesiae Glasguensis", with entries from about 1400 to 1476. These, along with other records, were in 1843 printed in a volume for the [[Maitland Club]] under the title: "Registrum Episcopatus Glasguensis: Munimenta Ecclesiae Metropolitanae Glasguensis a sede restauratâ saeculo ineunte XII ad reformatam religionem". A more splendid memorial of those times still remains in the old cathedral of St. Mungo, which was begun by [[Jocelin (Bishop of Glasgow)|Bishop Jocelyn]] (consecrated 1175, d. 1199) and received its last additions from [[Robert Blackadder|Archbishop Blackader]] (consecr. 1484, d. 1508).

==Restoration==
((main|Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Glasgow|Diocese of Glasgow and Galloway))

In 1828, as part of the [[Restoration of the Scottish hierarchy]], the [[Holy See]] erected the Western District or [[Vicariate of Scotland]], and the first [[Apostolic vicariate|vicar Apostolic]] to reside in Glasgow was [[Andrew Scott (bishop)|Andrew Scott]], Bishop of Eretria (b. 1772, d, 1846). He was succeeded by [[John Murdoch (bishop)|John Murdoch]], Bishop of Castabala (b. 1796, d. 1865) and [[John Gray (bishop)|John Gray]], Bishop of Hypsopolis (b. 1817, d. 1872). On the resignation of Bishop Gray in 1869 [[Charles Petre Eyre]] (b. 1817, d. 1902) was consecrated Archbishop of Anazarba and appointed administrator Apostolic. On the [[Restoration of the Scottish hierarchy]] by [[Pope Leo XIII]], 4 March 1878, the Archbishopric of Glasgow was re-established, and Archbishop Eyre was transferred to the restored see.
