    School of Theology - Seton Hall University file:///Volumes/Site%20Backups/theology%2020090910/lecture... A CENTURY OF PAPAL REPRESENTATION IN THE UNITED STATES Reverend Timothy M. Dolan Kenrick-Glennon Seminary Archdiocese of St. Louis Archbishop Gerety Lecture at Seton Hall University, October 15, 1992 "Hence we cheerfully sent one who should represent Our Person..." wrote Pope Leo XII in his encyclical Longinqua Oceani1 to the Church of the United States, January 6, 1895, referring to the appointment of the first apostolic delegate, Archbishop Francesco Satolli, just two years previous. That January 21, 1993, will be the centennial of this event suggested the topic of this year's Archbishop Gerety Lecture, "A Century of Papal Representation in the United States." Thank you for the invitation to be part of this distinguished lecture series. For the record, I have dedicated this meagre effort to the preeminent church historian of the United States, Monsignor John Tracy Ellis, my teacher, mentor and friend who, at 87, is now recuperating from hip surgery in Washington, D.C. May the Lord of Truth whom he has served so diligently be close to him in his recovery. I propose to develop this topic under five points. First, I will treat the way the Holy See approached America prior to Archbishop Satolli's appointment; secondly, I will consider the give-and-take surrounding his nomination in 1893; then will come a staccato-like overview of the comings-and-goings of his 10 successors; fourthly, I will take a look at just what, in general, the delegates have done, offering two examples of their activities; and, finally, I will conclude with a segment on the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Holy See and the government of the United States.

  • Banco Ambrosiano
    Banco Ambrosiano In a great bookGreat “ Financial Scandals”, the author, Sam Jaffa, writes on the collapse of Banco Ambrosiano in 1982, which rocked the financial world. “The Banco Ambrosiano collapsed in 1982 with debts of more than $1.3 billion, and in June of that year its Chairman, Roberto Calvi, was found dead in rather macabre circumstances, hanging beneath < ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />London‘s Blackfriars Bridge. His demise has never been fully explained – was it suicide or murder? What would become clear, however, was that the VaticanBank – the Istituto per le Opere di Religione (IOR) – which was a shareholder in Banco Ambrosiano, was to lose heavily when the latter collapsed. The Vatican made a ‘voluntary’ contribution to creditors of Banco Ambrosiano amounting to $244 million, and altogether the scandal probably cost it a further $160 million in losses. However, the extent of the Vatican’s dealings have never fully come to light, because Archbishop Paul Marcinkus, the American who headed IOR from 1971 until his retirement in 1990, was deemed to be outside the jurisdiction of the Italian courts. In February 1987 a Milan court issued a warrant for his arrest and that of two of his associates, Luigi Mennini and Pellegrino de Strobel, on charges of fraudulent bankruptcy (which carried a penalty of up to fifteen years in prison). With this hanging over his head, the Archbishop was for a time confined to his state rooms in the Vatican, which was tough for the sports-loving cleric, who particularly enjoyed a round of golf.

  • Broken Cross, The: the Hidden Hand in the Vatican
    Part One What remains when Rome perishes ? When Rome falls, the world. Virgil. Byron. Its claims were monstrous. They passed beyond human reckoning. For it claimed to be the one divine and authoritative voice on earth; and it taught, gave judgment, and asserted, always in the same valid tone, confident that its message would outlive the transitory phenomena of doubt, change, and contradiction. It stood secure, an edifice of truth behind the ramparts of truth which defied the many and various attacks launched by its enemies. For it claimed a strength that was not of itself, a life-force and vigour imparted by a power that could not be found elsewhere; and because it could not be likened to any earthly thing it provoked fear, bewilderment, mockery, even hate. But through the centuries it never wavered; never abandoned one item of its stupendous inheritance; never allowed the smallest rent to appear in its much derided mantle of intolerance. It inspired devotion and admiration even in those who scorned its mental discipline. It rose above conjecture, likelihood, probability; for the Word by which it had been founded was also its guarantee of permanence. It provided the one answer to the immemorial question--what is truth? One of our essayists told,[1] as many of our schoolboys used to know, of its place in history; how it saw the beginning, as it was likely to see the end, of our worldly systems; and how, in time to come, a broken arch of London Bridge might furnish a foothold from which a traveller ‘could sketch the ruins of St.
