    Vol 2, No 50 Cardinal James Mcintyre Retires

    SACRAMENTO DIOCESAN ARCHIVES Vol 2 Fr John E Boll, Diocesan Archivist No 50 CARDINAL JAMES FRANCIS McINTYRE, THE WEST’S FIRST CARDINAL ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT Printed in the January 22, 1970 issue of the Catholic Herald Photo by Corbis.com Cardinal James McIntyre, Archbishop of Los Angeles James Francis Cardinal McIntyre, archbishop of Los Angeles since 1948, who is known as the archconservative of the American hierarchy, has retired according to an announcement made by the Vatican on Wednesday. Pope Paul VI accepted the resignation of the 83 year-old cardinal for reasons of age. The cardinal had served his archdiocese for eight years longer than the recommended retirement age of 75 which had been fixed by Pope Paul VI. Vatican sources announced that automatically succeeding Cardinal McIntyre as archbishop of Los Angeles, one of the largest jurisdictions in the United States, is Archbishop Timothy Manning, formerly bishop of Fresno and now coadjutor bishop in Los Angeles with the right of succession. Frequently involved in headline making disputes with clergy and religious of a liberal bent, the cardinal is praised by Catholics of many viewpoints for his consistent endeavors to raise the standard of Catholic education in his archdiocese. A native of New York, Cardinal McIntyre, who will remain a member of the College of Cardinals, will be 84 on June 25. He was named archbishop of Los Angeles in 1948 and was made a cardinal by Pope Pius XII in 1953. Cardinal McIntyre has been one of the leading conservatives in the American church, a stance which often led to controversy with liberal elements of his archdiocese.

    1 Monsignor Eugene A. Gilb Was Born in Los Angeles, California, on May

    Monsignor Eugene A. Gilb was born in Los Angeles, California, on May 23, 1930, the youngest of four sons. He was a parishioner of Saint Columbkille in south Los Angeles and attended the parish school. After elementary school he entered Los Angeles College, the minor seminary. For the next 6 years attended St. John’s Major Seminary, Camarillo, and was ordained to the priesthood on May 3, 1957, by Cardinal James Francis McIntyre. After assignments at St. John of God Church, Norwalk, and St. Vibiana Cathedral, he was made Cardinal McIntyre’s priest secretary. In that capacity this 34-year-old priest was given a front row seat in what was one of the most momentous events in the history of the Roman Catholic Church…Vatican Council II. For the final two sessions in 1964 and 1965 since Cardinal McIntyre did not bring a theological advisor with him, Father Gilb acted in that capacity and was thus allowed on the floor of the basilica. Few are alive today who had that opportunity. Implementing Vatican II became a passion for the rest of his priesthood. To give him greater access during the Council, in 1965 McIntyre had him named a Chaplain to his Holiness with the title of Monsignor. In 1967, Monsignor Gilb was appointed assistant director of the Catholic Youth Organization in the archdiocese and served in that capacity until being named associate pastor at Sacred Heart Parish in Lincoln Heights in 1969. Less than a year later he was named administrator, and then pastor, of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Los Nietos, where he served until 1985.

    The Unscripted Evolution of Presidential Nominations: from Founding-Era Idealism to the Dominance of Party Primaries

    THE UNSCRIPTED EVOLUTION OF PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS: FROM FOUNDING-ERA IDEALISM TO THE DOMINANCE OF PARTY PRIMARIES The field of election law enjoyed something of a renaissance over the first ten years of this young century1—perhaps unsur- prising given that the decade was bookended by historic rul- ings in Bush v. Gore2 and Citizens United v. FEC.3 In addition to reawakening the legal academy’s dormant interest in the sub- ject,4 these divisive cases permeated public consciousness to an extent that is rare for even the most prominent of legal controver- sies.5 What’s more, the Supreme Court seems intent on sustaining this reinvigorated focus on election law. Just this Term, for ex- ample, the justices expounded on the practical meaning of the 1. See Richard L. Hasen, The Supreme Court’s Shrinking Election Law Docket, 2001–2010: A Legacy of Bush v.
