Cathbadh (Lat. Cathubius). There are two saints of this name commemorated in the Irish martyrologies on July 1 and Sept. 16. It is said-that when St. Patrick first came into the north-east of Ireland, he built, among other churches, one in the country belonging to the descendants of Engus, over which he placed two disciples, Cathbadius, a priest, and Dimanus, a monk. The former is perhaps the Cathubius, son of Fergus, abbot of Achadh-cinn, who, according to the Four Masters, died in 554, aged one hundred and fifty years. See Colgan, Tr. Thaum. p. 146, etc.; Lanigan, Eccles. Hist. Ir. 1, 267, 2, 103.
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later.
