...priests, policemen, bartenders, politicians, firemen, judges and streetcar conductors, a goodly number are named for the Scottish-born saint who brought Christianity to Ireland. Thus there was plenty of cause for pious feeling last week when the authentic spiritual successor of St. Patrick-Joseph Cardinal MacRory, Archbishop of Armagh, Primate of All Ireland-visited New York...
...Armagh, where St. Patrick founded a church, monastery and school about 445 A. D., is a small city not in Catholic Irish Free State but in predominantly Protestant Northern Ireland. The Cathedral on the hilly site of St. Patrick's buildings is no longer Catholic. Because it was long ago appropriated by Protestants, the Catholics had to build their own, which was not opened for worship until 1873, not consecrated until 1904.

Bishop MacRory visited the U. S. in 1926, member of the retinue of Armagh's Archbishop O'Donnell at the Chicago Eucharistic Congress.

Up Republican Army!" Free State officials were alive...
...Orangemen were not long in waiting for their revenge for Cootehill. Saturday the Ancient Order of Hibernians (Catholic) were to meet at Armagh. This time it was the Orangemen who felled trees, pulled up rails. Henry Bell, engineer of a freight train, was stopped by sullen gunmen, made to wreck his locomotive at an open gap in the rails. At Portadown, County Armagh, Orangemen and Republicans fought in the streets for two days with stones and bottles of Guinness's Stout. Orangemen rallied to the tune of "Dolly's Brae" and "Derry's Walls," and attempted...
