1636 1713 Bishop Churchman Cork Kilmore
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph print captures the solemn and reverent countenance of Edward Wetenhall (1636-1713), the esteemed Irish churchman who served as the Bishop of Cork and Kilmore during a pivotal period in Irish history. Wetenhall's life and career intersected with some of the most significant events and challenges facing the Irish Church and the broader Irish society during the late 17th century. Born in England, Wetenhall was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and later ordained as a priest in the Church of Ireland. He rose through the ranks of the Church hierarchy, becoming the Bishop of Cork and Kilmore in 1685. This was a time of great turmoil in Ireland, as the country was embroiled in a bitter conflict between the Protestant and Catholic factions, known as the Williamite War. Wetenhall played a crucial role in mediating between the warring parties and worked tirelessly to promote religious tolerance and reconciliation. Despite his efforts, Wetenhall faced numerous challenges and opposition, both from within the Church and from outside forces. He was a vocal critic of the Penal Laws, which discriminated against Catholics and other religious minorities, and he advocated for greater religious freedom and equality. Wetenhall's commitment to his faith and his belief in the importance of unity and reconciliation made him a respected and influential figure in Irish society. This photograph print, with its intricate details and striking contrast, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated himself to the service of his Church and his country, and who played a vital role in shaping the religious and political landscape of Ireland during a time of great upheaval. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of faith and the importance of unity and reconciliation in the face of adversity.
