The Bishop of Killaloe is an episcopal title which takes its name after the town of Killaloe in County Clare, Republic of Ireland. In the Roman Catholic Church it remains a separate title, but in the Church of Ireland it has been united with other bishoprics. ==History== The Diocese of Killaloe was one of the twenty-four dioceses established at the Synod of Rathbreasail in 1111. The boundaries of the diocese consisted of almost all of County Clare, the northern part of County Tipperary and the western part of County Offaly. Its Irish name is ''Cill-da-lua'' (Church of Lua), so named from St Mo Lua, an abbot who lived in the late the sixth century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.killaloediocese.ie/HISTORY.htm )〕 At the Synod of Kells in March 1152, Killaloe some lost territory when the dioceses of Kilfenora, Roscrea and Scattery Island were created. Following the Reformation, there are now parallel Killaloe dioceses: one of the Church of Ireland and the other of the Roman Catholic Church. ; In Church of Ireland The pre-Reformation Cathedral Church of St Flannan, Killaloe continued as the Church of Ireland bishop's seat (cathedra).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cathedral.killaloe.anglican.org/History%20and%20Info.htm )〕 The Church of Ireland title was united with Kilfenora in 1752, and again with Clonfert & Kilmacduagh in 1834. Since 1976, it has been part of the united bishopric of Limerick and Killaloe.〔 ; In the Roman Catholic Church The Roman Catholic bishop's seat is located at St Peter and St Paul Cathedral in Ennis, County Clare.
