Purcell, John

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Purcell, John (Baptist) (1800–1883)

Irish-born US prelate. As Catholic bishop (from 1833) and archbishop (from 1850) of Cincinnati, he presided over a period of tremendous growth. A temperance advocate and opponent of ethnic parishes, he resigned because of a diocesan financial scandal in 1879, in which he, however, was not implicated.
