I don't know why you would say the Bishops went all quiet after 1829, if you read somebody like Archbishop MacHale he was a strong supporter of Repeal long after that date.
McHale was the notable exception. Crolly and Browne of Kilmore were reflective of hierarchy in not supporting O'Connells efforts. So even when opposition to British control was strictly peaceful and political the Church largely would not lend its support.I don't know why you would say the Bishops went all quiet after 1829, if you read somebody like Archbishop MacHale he was a strong supporter of Repeal long after that date.
