Philip Tartaglia (born 11 January 1951) is the Archbishop and Metropolitan of Glasgow and the 40th successor of Saint Mungo. He is the eighth Roman Catholic Archbishop of Glasgow since the re-establishment of the hierarchy in 1878 following the Reformation. He was installed on 8 September 2012, the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He has been described as a conservative in religious and moral issues. He was previously the fourth Bishop of Paisley, a post to which he was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI on 13 September 2005. With the resignation of Cardinal Keith O'Brien, Archbishop of St Andrews and Edinburgh on 25 February 2013, Pope Benedict XVI appointed Tartaglia as the apostolic administrator of the Archdiocese of Saint Andrews and Edinburgh on 27 February 2013.
Philip Tartaglia was born in Glasgow, the eldest son of Guido and Annita Tartaglia, and has three brothers and five sisters. He is of Italian descent. After his primary schooling at St Thomas’, Riddrie, he began his secondary education at St. Mungo's Academy, Glasgow, before moving to the national junior seminary at St Vincent’s College, Langbank and, later, St Mary’s College, Blairs, near Aberdeen. His ecclesiastical studies were completed at the Pontifical Scots College, and the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome.
