Colin Barr states that his work is going to show the first Irish Cardinal, Paul Cullen, at the helm of a Hiberno-Roman empire and that his book’s use of an unparalleled 104 archives will be used to this end. He claims that seven areas of the globe bear an unmistakable ‘Cullenite’ imprint on a local Catholic Church that was as much Irish as it was Roman, though surprisingly immune from local settings. To accomplish this, he charts Irish appointments to bishop in these areas. The benefits of his archival investigations are immediately clear. There are numerous references on every page, providing additional colour to the circumstances surrounding these appointments. Besides this, Barr is adept at giving a clear overview of the historiographies of the Irish Catholic Church in each of the seven geographical areas (the United States, Newfoundland, India, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand).
