Council of Armagh

The Council of Armagh, held in 1171 in Ireland, was a significant gathering of church leaders and influential figures. It aimed to address the non-conformity of Irish Christianity with the Roman Church and to solidify the authority of the Anglo-Norman church following the Norman invasion of Ireland. The council established guidelines for church governance, liturgical practices, and sought to bring unity among Christians in Ireland. Its decisions helped shape the religious landscape of Ireland, promoting alignment with Roman Catholic practices and increasing the influence of the church in Irish society.
