Sterling Berry
Thomas Sterling Berry (10 January 1854 – 25 February 1931) was the 9th Bishop of Killaloe, Kilfenora, Clonfert and Kilmacduagh.
Educated at Trinity College, Dublin and ordained in 1877, his first posts were curacies at Christ Church, Kingstown and St George’s, Dublin. Later he held incumbencies at Birr and Booterstown before his ordination to the episcopate in 1913.brHe died in post.
Berry authored "Christianity and Buddhism: A Comparison and a Contrast". The book rejected the idea of Buddhist influences
have been in a "dying condition". He stated in October, "it is well recognised that a large number of illegitimate children are delicate and marasmic from their birth." Sterling Berry observed that the home's most objectionable feature was admittance of Roman Catholics into a proselytising institution. He successfully pressured Bethany Home's managing committee into ceasing the admission of Roman Catholics. The Residential Secretary, Hettie Walker, claimed in 1940 that the measure was only agreed to because of a threat of refusal of funding under new legislation.
