John England (September 23, 1786, Cork, Ireland – April 11, 1842, Charleston, South Carolina) was the first Roman Catholic Bishop of Charleston, South Carolina. ==Early life== John England was born in Cork, Ireland, in 1786 entered St. Patrick's, Carlow College on August 31, 1803. In his nineteenth year he began to deliver catechetical instructions in the parish chapel and zealously instructed the soldiers in garrison at Cork. He also established a female reformatory together with male and female poor schools. Out of these schools grew the Presentation Convent. He was ordained a priest in Cork, 10 October 1809, and was appointed lecturer at the cathedral. Wherever he preached people thronged to hear him. Pending the opening of the Magdalen Asylum he maintained and ministered to many applicants.〔(Duffy, Patrick Laurence. "John England." The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 5. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1909. 7 Jun. 2014 )〕 In the same year he published the "Religious Repertory", established a circulating library in the parish of St. Mary, Shandon, and attended the city jail. In the elections of 1812 he fearlessly exerted his influence, maintaining that, "in vindicating the political rights of his countrymen, he was but asserting their liberty of conscience". In the same year he was appointed president of the new diocesan College of St. Mary, where he taught theology.〔 In 1814 he vigorously assailed the Veto measure. Next to O'Connell's his influence was the greatest in the agitation which culminated in Catholic Emancipation. To help this cause he founded "The Chronicle" which he continued to edit until he left Ireland. in 1817 he was appointed parish priest of Bandon. (The bigotry and prejudice of this city at that time may be conjectured from the inscription over its gates: "Enter here Turk Jew or Atheist, Every man except a Papist", the Irish-Catholic ripost being even better "The man who wrote this wrote it well, For the same is writ on the Gates of Hell"). In spite of the prejudices which he found there, he soon conciliated men of every sect and party.〔
