Father Fahey, born 3d July, 1883, was a native of Kilmore, Golden, in County Tipperary, Ireland. His roots were in the small farming stock of Ireland, and to the end of his life he retained his great affection for and personal contact with the land-base3d families and particularly with those of his native place in South Riding.

His doctorates in Divinity and Philosophy destined him for a professional position. The Gregorian University formed him as a Roman with a sure knowledge of a vital attachment to the Papacy and its functions in the life of the Church. He was young enough then to have taken his original BA in the Old Royal University of Ireland which went out of existence shortly after the turn of the century.

From Rome he went to serve as Chaplain in an internment camp in Switzerland during the latter period of the first Great War. Even so, early in his life he suffered, as Arnold Lunn notes in his reference to Fr. Fahey, from the headaches, the "sting in the flesh", which remained with him all of his life and which were no doubt aggravated if not directly caused by his continuous reading and study.

Picking up languages as he went along he was at home in German, French and Italian. His one regret was that he had at one stage to choose between perfecting his Irish and studying the money question, and perforce, he buckled down to penetrate the pseudo mysteries with which the question of money manipulation was cloaked.

He passed from teaching in Blackrock College to the post of Professor of Philosophy and Church History in Kimmage Manor, the seminary of his congregation in Ireland. Here he laboured till his death on 21st January, 1954.

While in Rome he dedicated his life to the service of Christ the King and to the propagation and defense of His Kingdom. He held no man as his enemy, yet he was as such held by many. He was gentle and charitable towards all, even the most avowed destroyers of the Church. Yet even among those who should have been his own he was reviled, jeered at and laughed to scorn as was his Master. But his scholarship has stood the test of time. His words remain true. None of his writings have been gainsaid by Catholic or Atheist, rather is there growing steadily a recognition, grudging and belated, that he should have been listened to and that at least now we should come to know better what he stood for and then to stand with him.
