| TV BBC2 Monday 30 March
3/4 Dr Art Hughes visits Paris, where he learns that the French capital's Irish college provided many of Ireland's priests. In Irish
During this programme it told about a Roman Catholic bishop who was buried in a Church of Ireland graveyard. This particular church was in a place called Desertcreat which I believe is in County Armagh.
Wondering how an RC bishop ended up in a COI graveyard. Th Blackmouths use to say that there was only a paper wall between the COI and the RC church. Seems like they may have been right. lol

| Just thinking about this. Roman Catholics are not supposed to be buried in unconsecrated ground. So maybe this COI church graveyard was originally a Roman Catholic church graveyard. Down Cathedral,St Patrick's church and Christ church in Dublin were built in the 12th century. All were RC churches.
Was this church in Desertcreat the same?
