Council of Cashel

The Council of Cashel was an important religious meeting held in 1101 in Cashel, Ireland. It involved Irish church leaders and was aimed at reforming church practices, aligning Irish religious practices more closely with those of mainland Europe, and establishing clearer church authority structures. This council helped strengthen the authority of the church in Ireland and promoted religious reforms that affected clergy, bishops, and church laws. It marked a significant step in integrating Irish church practices into the broader European Christian tradition, shaping the development of Irish Christianity in the medieval period.
