  Luke Wadding
As a first instalment Wadding published in 1623 at Antwerp a complete and annotated edition of the "Writings of St. Francis" was in course of preparation, Marius a Calasio, a learned Franciscan, died in Rome, leaving unpublished four large tomes of a Hebrew concordance, besides a Hebrew grammar and dictionary.
Each year Wadding kept the Feast of St. Patrick with great solemnity at St. Isidore's; and it is due to his influence, as member of the commission for the reform of the Breviary, that the festival of Ireland's Apostle was inserted on 17 March in the calendar of the Universal Church.
Wadding was not only the official representative and indefatigable agent in the Roman Curia of the archbishops and bishops of Ireland, but the Holy See took no measure of importance concerning that country without consulting him.

 EIPS - The Enslavement of a Nation: the Romanising of Ireland
To go back to the beginning, regular readers will recall that “brilliant academic”, Luke Wadding, a Franciscan of Salamanca chosen by King Philip III of Spain to be his agent in Rome.  Spain hoped to redeem the failure of the Armada by an invasion of Ireland.
  Wadding reached Rome in 1618 under pretext of leading a working party on the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception – not in fact defined until 1854.  Cunning Phillip knew that such a controversy would drag on and Wadding was still in Rome, plotting under the same cover, when he died in 1657.
Cracks in the arrangements appeared at once.  Wadding was supposed to be promoting the Irish Franciscan Order, but, lest the students should get too monkish an outlook, the first rector to be appointed to the Irish College, Fr Eugene Callanan, was not a Franciscan.  After internal dissension the next two rectors were Franciscans.

 The Writings of Saint Francis of Assisi: The Online Library of Liberty   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Wadding’s edition of the Opuscula differs mainly from all preceding collections in this, that whereas the latter contained only those pieces which as regards both matter and form were the handiwork of St. Francis, Wadding felt justified in including among St. Francis’ writings many dicta of the Saint found in the early Legends.
But if Wadding was more profuse than prudent in his attribution of Franciscan fragments to the Founder, it must be remembered that he wrote at a time when even the highest minds troubled themselves little enough about literary exactness.
The faults therefore of Wadding’s edition of the Opuscula are largely the faults of his time; and considering the difficulties to be overcome, the result of his labors was very creditable.

His correspondence with Luke Wadding shows that even during the anxieties of the siege of Arras he was watching affairs at home, but Monroe and Leslie refused to believe that the illustrious general would come over to lead a paltry rebellion in Ireland.
His correspondence on political and religious matters shows how widely his influence reached, and he was everywhere received with enthusiasm when he made a tour in Italy to collect money for the Irish wars and to induce officers to return home to take part in them.
Into the midst of the contending parties with which Ireland was distracted the Pope now launched two emissaries, Scarampi, a Neapolitan, who arrived in 1643, and later the Bishop of Fermo, John Baptist Rinuccini, who came over as Papal Nuncio in October, 1645.
