Cardinal Michael Logue, who served as the Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All-Ireland since 1887, passed away on November 19, 1924. Born in 1840, Logue was a significant figure in the Catholic Church in Ireland during a period of considerable political and social change. His long tenure saw him navigate the complexities of Irish nationalism, the Home Rule movement, and the partition of Ireland. He was elevated to the cardinalate in 1893, becoming the first Irish cardinal since the Reformation. His death marked the end of an era for the Catholic hierarchy in Ireland.
