This is the first biography of Patrick Francis Moran (1830-1911), Cardinal Archbishop of Sydney, based on extensive research in Australia, Italy and Ireland. Cardinal Moran and his conflict ridden worlds come alive as Philip Ayers exploits sixty-one years of unpublished diaries. He reveals a man of contradictions: self-contained, private, hard of access, yet forceful and ruthless with his enemies. Appointed Archbishop of Sydney in 1884, he was promoted to Cardinal the following year. He was prominent in the movement for Federation and influenced the policy direction of the Labour Party under John Watson. Moran spoke out forcefully on moral and religious issues, relishing the sectarian print wars he often started.
