Wadding, Luke
Wadding, Luke (1588–1657), Franciscan scholar and a leading light in the Irish college movement. Wadding founded St Isidore's for Irish Franciscans in Rome in 1625 and with the assistance of Cardinal‐Protector Ludovisi attached a college for diocesan clergy next door in 1627. Under Wadding's influence Irish Franciscan colleges were established in Prague (1629), Vielun, Poland (1645), Paris (1653), and Capranica, Italy (1656). However, dissension hit the secular college at Rome, with a Gaelic Irish coterie working to oust him from the rectorship.
In 1642 Wadding secured a subsidy for Owen Roe O'Neill to return home and was subsequently appointed Roman agent to the Confederate Catholics. He encouraged Innocent X to send Rinuccini but considered the nuncio's excommunication of the supreme council in 1648 a mistake. Wadding edited the works of St Francis and the medieval scholar Duns Scotus (whom he claimed as Irish), and wrote a history of the order, Annales Minorum (1625–54). Hiram Morgan |

Wadding, Luke
Wadding, Luke (c.1628–1691), Catholic ecclesiastic. Vicar‐general of the south‐eastern diocese of Ferns from 1668 and coadjutor (assisting) bishop from 1671, Wadding succeeded to the bishopric in 1678 but was not consecrated until 1683/4 because of the tensions associated with the Popish Plot. Like Oliver Plunkett he was one of a new generation of bishops appointed to resume the work of reorganizing the Irish church along Counter‐Reformation lines after the disruption of the Cromwellian years and the uncertainties of the period immediately following the Restoration. His A Small Garland of Pious and Godly Songs was published in Ghent in 1684.
