The lengthy reform process of assimilating the Celtic churches into the European mainstream was caused in part by the slow reform of the Papacy itself over many years, but it quickened after the Gregorian Reforms (1150–80). In Britain the Synod of Whitby is considered important, and in Ireland the Synod of Rathbreasail in 1111 established modern dioceses.
