Abstract

The tale of Richard FitzRalph’s reception over time is a complex one. Regarded with a certain ambivalence in the early period of the Reformation in England and Ireland, by writers such as Leland and Bale, it is an altogether different story when told by Foxe and others where FitzRalph is very much a hero of the reform. By the 17th and 18th centuries, FitzRalph was a favourite of the Anglican divines. In addition to being mentioned in England and Ireland, FitzRalph was cited in theological dispute within the reformed tradition in Scotland, especially concerning the episcopacy. And he had his admirers among the Methodists too. In Roman Catholic circles, FitzRalph came in for some censure by leading theologians of the Counter Reformation, such as Robert Bellarmine, but he was soon recruited to the secular cause in ongoing disputes with the regulars, particularly in Ireland. However, by the 19th century, in the decades after Catholic Emancipation, in a time of rebuilding and consolidation for Roman Catholicism in Ireland, FitzRalph is being held up as the type of the good diocesan bishop, being both learned and pastoral. From the late 19th and early 20th centuries, FitzRalph began to receive the kind of scholarly attention he deserves. Until today,m efforts to edit and study his works and place them in their proper contexts continue apace.
