Synod of Rathbreasail
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The Synod of Rathbreasail took place in AD1111. It was a notable event in that it marked the transition of the Irish church from a monastic to a diocesan and parish-based church. Many Irish Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland (protestant) dioceses trace their boundaries to decisions made at the synod.
It was the second of three great reforming Irish synods, the other two were Cashel (1101) and Kells (1152).
