Cornelius Lucey

Cornelius "Con" Lucey (1902–1982) was a Roman Catholic Bishop of Cork and Ross.

[1] He attended Ballinora Primary School and played for the local GAA club.

[citation needed] He held the Chair of Philosophy and Political Theory at St. Patrick's College, Maynooth from 1929 to 1950.

Alongside Peter McKevitt, he was one of the founders of Christus Rex, a priestly society devoted to social issues, on which he was a prominent commentator.

His views on matters of faith and morals were conservative, and he was involved in a controversy in the 1960s, when he withdrew the diocesan faculties of Father James Good, a lecturer at University College, Cork, for publicly dissenting from the teaching of Pope Paul VI.
