CONRY (CONRIUS), FLORENT. - Franciscan theologian, b. in Ireland (Connaught) in 1560, d. in Madrid on 16 Nov. 1629. He entered the Reformed Friars Minor. Created Archbishop of Tuam by Clement VIII (30 March 1608), in Ireland he supported the action of the Spaniards, sent by Philip III, in aid of the Irish Catholics, against the oppression of Queen Elizabeth. But when the latter were defeated at Kinsale, C. was outlawed and from then on lived between Belgium (1609-24) and Spain, devoted for the most part to the study of St. Augustine, of whom he became an excellent interpreter and prolific commentator. In 1606, with the help of the King of Spain, he had founded in Louvain for his Irish confreres the College of St. Anthony.
His writings, on St. Augustine, deal for the most part with the doctrine of Grace. The following are remembered: De s. Augustini sensu circa b. Mariae conceptionem (Antwerp 1619; C. had also promoted in Rome the cause of the Immaculate Conception); Tract. de statu parvulorum sine Baptismo decedentum (Louvain 1624), highly esteemed; Peregrinus Ierichuntinus..., that is, on fallen human nature (Paris 1641); Tract. de gratia Christi (ibid. 1646).
