The Most Reverend Philip Tartaglia, Archbishop of Glasgow; born January 11, 1951; died January 13, 2021. THE Most Reverend Philip Tartaglia, who has died aged 70, had served as the eighth Metropolitan Archbishop of Glasgow (in the post-Reformation reckoning) since 2012, and before that as Bishop of Paisley and rector of seminaries in both Glasgow and Rome. He was generally seen as theologically orthodox and, in practical matters, as a safe pair of hands; in the aftermath of the resignation of Cardinal Keith O’Brien over allegations of sexual impropriety, it was Tartaglia who was asked to pick up the pieces as apostolic administrator of the Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh.

If he gave the impression neither of O’Brien’s ready friendliness nor the pugilistic bravado of Thomas Winning, a predecessor at Glasgow, he was nonetheless a comfortable fit for his post: thoroughly Glaswegian, but at ease with the Vatican under both Pope Benedict XVI, who appointed him, and his successor Pope Francis.
