Connmach (or Conmach), an early Irish prelate, succeeded Cudiniscus as bishop of Armagh some time after A.D. 790 (Four Masters). He died suddenly in 807, and the Psalter of Cashel gives him a rule of fourteen years. Under his influence St. Fothad the Canonist drew up the remonstrance which procured for the clergy of Ireland the right of exemption from military service (Lanigan, ,Ecclesiastical History of Ireland, 3:233, 244, 252; Primitive Church History of Ireland. 2:1106).
Of Conmnmach of Ath-blair, commemorated as an Irish saint on July 9, we have no account.
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. Subsequently, he was awarded a doctorate of divinity degree from the same institution in 1848.WikipediaRead More
