Paul Cullen
Male, Deceased Person
1803 – 1878
Who was Paul Cullen?
Paul Cullen was a Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin who became the first Irish cardinal, but is more controversially remembered for his Ultramontanism which spearheaded the Romanisation of the Catholic Church in Ireland.
A trained biblical theologian and scholar of ancient languages, Cullen is best known for his crafting of the formula for papal infallibility at the First Vatican Council. Depending on one's view, Cullen is largely credited with, or blamed for, ushering in the devotional revolution experienced in Ireland through the second half of the 19th century and much of the 20th century.
