John-Charles McQuaid

John-Charles McQuaid (1895–1973) was a prominent Irish Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin. He played a significant role in shaping Ireland's social and religious landscape during much of the 20th century. Known for his strong conservative views, he prioritized Catholic values in education and public life, often opposing government policies he saw as conflicting with church teachings. McQuaid was influential in promoting Catholic influence in Irish society, and his leadership remains a notable, sometimes debated, part of Ireland's historical relationship between church and state.
