Biography
MacCabe's father was a poor shopkeeper.
He was transferred of the united more parish of
Three years later, on 27 March 1882,
The six years in which he was Archbishop of Dublin were troubled times in Ireland, the years of the Land League and of the National League, of violent agitation and savage coercion, when secret societies were strong in Dublin, and the Phoenix Park Murders and many others of less note were committed. On Sunday 4 January 1880, a collection was made in aid of the distressed districts of Ireland at chapels in the Dublin Diocese, but like his predecessor, Cardinal McCabe came to have a distrust of popular movements. Brought up in the city, he was unacquainted with agrarian conditions and he identified with the political movement under Davitt. In pastorals and public speeches he ranged himself against agitation and on the side of government and law, with the result that Nationalist newspapers and public men attacked him as a "Castle" bishop, who favoured coercion and was an enemy of the people. His life was threatened and for a time he was under the protection of the police.[4]
MacCabe died at his home in Dun Laoghaire on 11 February 1885.[3]
His papers are available in Dublin for consultation by scholars.[3]
