Michael Cardinal Logue ( born October 1, 1840 in Duringings, Kilmacrenan, † November 19, 1924 in Armagh ) was bishop of several dioceses.
Life
He was born in his home village Duringings his mother. The son of the blacksmith, Michael Logue, and Catherine Durnings attended from 1857 to 1866, St Patrick 's College in Maynooth, where his intelligence earned him the nickname of the North Star. Before his ordination he was sent in 1866 by the Irish bishops as a professor of theology and belles lettres at the Irish College in Paris. He was ordained later in December of the same year for priests.
Logue remained on the faculty of Irish college until 1874, when he returned to his homeland as a parish administrator in Letterkenny. In 1876 he was appointed to the Maynooth College as a professor of dogmatic theology and Irish as well as Dean.
On 13 May 1879 he was appointed Bishop of Raphoe. The Archbishop of Armagh, Daniel McGettigan, donated to him on 20 July of the same year at St. Eunan and St Columba 's Cathedral, the episcopal ordination; Co-consecrators were James Donnelly, Bishop of Clogher, and Francis Kelly, Bishop of Derry. He was involved in the fundraising person during the Irish famine in 1879 that never developed into a great famine due to larger donations of food and government intervention. He perceived the advantages of the Intermediate Act of 1878 to increase the Catholic high school in Letterkenny. He was also instrumental in the Irish temperance movement to discourage consumption of alcohol.
On April 18, 1887, he was appointed Koadjutorerzbischof of Armagh and Titular Archbishop of Anazarbus. After the death of Daniel McGettigans he followed on 3 December of the same year as Archbishop of Armagh after and thus became Primate of All Ireland. Leo XIII. took him on 16 January 1893 as cardinal priest in the Sacred College, and he received on 19 January of the same year the titular church of Santa Maria della Pace. He was thus the first Archbishop of Armagh, who was elevated to cardinal. He participated in the conclaves in 1903, 1914 and 1922, the Popes Pius X, Benedict XV. and Pius XI. selected. Logue took over the completion of the Victorian Gothic St. Patrick's Cathedral in Armagh. The new cathedral, which dominates Armagh, he consecrated on 24 July 1904.
Logue was a public supporter of Irish Home Rule and approved the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1921. Logue was more politically conservative as Archbishop William Joseph Walsh, which created tension between Armagh and Dublin. He died in the Ara Coeli, the residence of the Archbishop, and was buried in the crypt of his cathedral.
