Wikipedia description:
John B. Bannon (1829–1913), was an Irish Catholic priest who served as a Confederate chaplain and diplomatic agent in Europe during the American Civil War. Though forgotten in later times, it has been said that "No religious figure of the South contributed more to the cause of Confederate independence than Bannon." He was called the "Fighting Chaplain", "the most notable chaplain in the Civil War", and "the Catholic priest who always went into battle."
