The (Roman Catholic) Diocese of Meath was erected in A.D. 552. Since 1778 until the late 19th century had its seat in Navan, County Meath, Ireland. Charles Stewart Parnell's affair with Kitty O'Shea led to the Bishop of Meath having a letter read at Mass in the diocese in condemnation of the relationship. As Parnell was quite popular this caused a backlash which eventually lead to the seat and bishop going to Mullingar, County Westmeath permanently. The diocesan School, St. Finian's College was also moved to Mullingar. The current Bishop is Dr. Michael Smith.

[edit] Christ the King

The cathedral for the Meath Diocese called Christ the King Mullingar is situated near the city centre opposite Mary's street and opposite the Garda base station of the area.
