Michael Logue (1840–1924) was an Irish prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland from 1887 until his death in 1924.[1] He was created a cardinal in 1893.[2]

Biography

Cardinal Logue was born at his mother's paternal home, Duringings, in Kilmacrenan.[2] He was the son of Michael Logue, a blacksmith, and Catherine Durning.[3] From 1857 to 1866, he studied at Maynooth College, where his intelligence earned him the nickname the "Northern Star."[3] Before his ordination to the priesthood, he was assigned by the Irish bishops as the chair of both theology and belles lettres at the Irish College in Paris in 1866.[4] He was later ordained in December of that year.[1]

Logue remained on the faculty of the Irish College until 1874, when he returned to his native country as administrator of a parish in Letterkenny.[2] In 1876, he joined the staff of Maynooth College as professor of dogmatic theology and Irish, as well as the post of dean.[4]

On 13 May 1879, Logue was appointed Bishop of Raphoe by Pope Leo XIII.[1] He received his episcopal consecration on the following July 20 from Archbishop Daniel McGettigan, with Bishops James Donnelly and Francis Kelly serving as co-consecrators, at the pro-cathedral of Raphoe.[1] He was involved in fundraising to help people during the 1879 Irish famine, which, due to major donations of food and government intervention never developed into a major famine.[3] He took advantage of the Intermediate Act of 1878 to enlarge the Catholic high school in Letterkenny. He was also heavily involved in the Irish temperance movement to discourage the consumption of alcohol.[3]

On 18 April 1887 Logue was appointed Coadjutor Archbishop of Armagh and Titular Archbishop of Anazarbus.[1] Upon the death of Archbishop MacGettigan, Logue succeeded him as Archbishop of Armagh, and thus Primate of All Ireland, on 3 December of that year.[1] He was created Cardinal Priest of S. Maria della Pace by Pope Leo XIII in the consistory of 19 January 1893.[2] He thus became the first archbishop of Armagh to be elevated to the College of Cardinals.[5] He participated in the 1903, 1914, and 1922 conclaves that elected popes Pius X, Benedict XV, and Pius XI respectively.[6] Logue took over the completion of the Victorian gothic St. Patrick's Cathedral in Armagh. The new cathedral, which towered over Armagh, was dedicated on 24 July 1904.

Logue was a public supporter for Irish Home Rule and endorsed the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1921. That year, the death of Cardinal James Gibbons made Logue archpriest (protoprete) of the College of Cardinals. Logue was more politically conservative than Archbishop William Joseph Walsh, which created tension between Armagh and Dublin.[7]

He died in Ara Coeli, the residence of the archbishop, on 19 November 1924 and was buried in a cemetery in the grounds of his cathedral.
