Eugene O'Doherty

Eugene O'Doherty (4 Feb 1896 – 24 March 1979) was the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dromore, Northern Ireland.[1]

Early Life and Priestly Ministry

Ordained a priest for the Diocese of Derry in 1921, he undertook postgraduate studies and received a D.D. for his thesis, Doctrinal Process and its Laws. He spent much of his priestly ministry in education on the staff of St. Columb's College being appointed vice president in 1939 and eventually succeeded as President in 1943.[2]

His is regarded as shortest presidency on record as he was appointed Bishop of Dromore within months of his assuming the post. This appointment was made on 11 March 1944 and he received episcopal consecration on Pentecost Sunday, 23 May 1944.

Episcopal Ministry

He welcomed the 1947 Education Act and the opportunity of free secondary education to those who woulds not have been able to afford it. New schools were opened across the small diocese.[3][4]

Dr. O'Doherty was also responsible for implementing the liturgical changes advocated by the Second Vatican Council which he attended.

He retired in Nov 1975 and died four years later.

gollark: You have a big thing of settable parameters determining how you go from input to output. And if you know what the result *should* be (on training data), then as the maths is all "differentiable", you can differentiate it and get the gradient of loss wrt. all the parameters.
gollark: Well, you put your data into something something linear algebra and something something gradient descent, and answers come out.
gollark: I see. This might be one of the ones which can't boot from those, or you just beeized slightly.
gollark: That's one of the boot errors.
gollark: No, it'll automatically DHCPize.
