  John Charles McQuaid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Charles McQuaid (July 28, 1895-April 7, 1973) was a Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin and Primate of Ireland between 1940 and 1971.
John Charles McQuaid was born in Cootehill, County Cavan in 1895.

 Towards a Biography of an Archbishop-John Charles McQuaid by Dermot Keogh
As Archbishop McQuaid moved along the assembled ranks in the church - boys on one side and girls on the other side of aisle - he asked catechism questions to which came rapid-fire answers much to the relief of the parish priest, Mgr Fitzpatrick.
He presents McQuaid as living outside his time but as a "first class bishop of the old school" who, had he lived fifty years earlier "would have no critics worth speaking of and would hardly be remembered today except by those who benefited from his quiet, personal charity" [pp.78/9].
But after his ordination, McQuaid represented in a formal fashion the interests of the Church and he defended those interests even when it brought him into conflict with the leader of the state who also happened to be his friend.

 REGAIN - Religious Groups Awareness International Network
John Cooney’s biography is thus a case study in Church-State relations where the above hypothesis becomes flesh and blood.
Close personal and institutional cooperation between Church and State ensured the Constitution, educational system, health benefits, adoption laws, and penal code were all written in accord with ‘the established beliefs of the majority.’ The evil enemies of Communism and Liberalism were kept at bay from Erin’s shores.
Finally, serious questions linger over John Charles’ probable knowledge, cover up, and lack of civil redress in several cases of clerical abuse of adolescents and nuns’ mistreatment of infants, especially in church orphanages, either founded or supervised by McQuaid.

A NEW book which claims the deceased Dublin Archbishop John Charles McQuaid was a homosexual and paedophile was attacked last night by the Catholic church.
Accusations that Dr McQuaid, Archbishop from 1940 1972, was homosexual made sexual advances toward a child were originally made by former Minister Dr Noel Browne in an unpublished essay.

From the father, the author endures physical and emotional cruelty in his boyhood and youth; from his mother, there is life-enhancing love that is transformed into unending grief by her illness and premature death from cancer in a far-away Dublin hospital.
John does not mention that the Archbishop was none other than John Charles McQuaid, the most powerful churchman of twentieth century Ireland who created fear in all ranks of society including the politicians.
John admits that it was partly the result of some people having come forward with an interest in writing his biography that he thought it might be no harm to have a crack at it himself — “if for no other reason than to be awkward.”

Bit by bit, with the advent of television, the opening up of Ireland to the world, the social revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, and the clerical scandals of the 1990s, the Church was chopped down to size.
McQuaid worked tirelessly to maintain the power of the Church in Ireland, and Browne worked equally hard to break it.
Although it is the case that in one famous clash between the two Browne was forced to resign as Minister for Health, in the long run it was Browne’s view of the proper place of the Church in a secular republic that prevailed.

It was Archbishop McQuaid who in the early 1960s instructed the then Taoiseach, Sean Lemass, that he must move UCD well away from the city.
These young ladies in TCD obsessed McQuaid; he lay awake worrying and thinking about their wicked designs upon his innocent Catholic boys at UCD, and dreaming about exactly what the former were doing to the latter.

Or 1965, when The Dark, a novel by an emerging young Irish writer called John McGahern, was banned by the Censorship of Publications Board.
It was not without its truly Irish comic possibilities, because, to make matters worse, the writer was then relieved of his National School teaching post on the instructions of Archbishop John Charles McQuaid.
As subversives go, John McGahern was the most unlikely, but when the history of the time is written, he will probably be seen as the most influential.

 Science Musings by Chet Raymo
I didn't know it then, but the lingering spiritual miasma that held the city in its bleak embrace had its origin in the episcopal palace at Drumcondra, where from 1940 to 1972 John Charles McQuaid, archbishop of Dublin, ruled Catholic Ireland with inflexible theology and an iron fist.
All this is on my mind because I have just read John Cooney's massive biography of McQuaid, "The Ruler of Catholic Ireland." I realize now how much the Irish Church of that time influenced my own childhood, thousands of miles away.
My early education was very much at the hands of priests and nuns of the Irish diaspora who often shared McQuaid's conviction that everything worth knowing was laid out by Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century.

McQuaid was the notoriously powerful rightwing Archbishop of Dublin consulted by deValera on matters of state.
The strange but true tale of the Lord of the Ring transpired when Gavin (being Gavin)invited people to kiss the ring on his finger, which he said was given to him by a really wealthy friend (nudge-nudge-wink-wink).
Apparently McQuaid’s family sold the ring and it wound up with jeweller John Farrington - from whom Bono bought it for his mate’s 40th birthday.

It has long been believed that Fr John Charles McQuaid provided an early draft of the 1937 Constitution for de Valera and his promotion to Archbishop of Dublin probably had a lot to do with his friendship with the then Taoiseach.
McQuaid and the Cardinal objected, but de Valera got the approval of the Pope behind their backs.
They asserted their primacy in education by interfering in the likes of Noel Browne's efforts to tackle the country's high infant morality rate with the Mother and Child Bill, which was designed to provide education in infant care to all mothers and treatment for all children.
