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.

By consecrating their lives to God in a society that deemed all black people immoral, black Catholic sisters provided a powerful refutation to the racist stereotypes used by white supremacists and paternalists to exclude African Americans from the ranks of religious life and full citizenship rights. By dedicating their labors to the educational and social uplift of the largely neglected black community, black sisters challenged the Church and the nation to live up to the full promises of democracy and Catholicism. Yet, their lives and labors remain largely invisible in the annals of American and religious history. This is especially true of their efforts in the twentieth century, when black sisters pried opened the doors of Catholic higher education, desegregated several historically white congregations, and helped to launch the greatest black Catholic revolt in American history. This dissertation unearths the hidden history of black Catholic sisters in the fight for racial and educational justice in the twentieth century.

  • Missionary Activities and American Nationalism
    Paper ACHA 2.1.2015 Vefie Poels 1. Missionary Activities and American Nationalism On November 11, 1919, a committee of five American bishops, led by Archbishop Henry Moeller of Cincinnati, sent a letter to the Apostolic Delegate in Washington Giovanni Bonzano.1 They proposed to improve the missionary work in the United States by creating an American Board of Catholic Missions. Its aim would be to model and coordinate the missionary work of both home and foreign missions, making them more efficient.2 Bonzano sent the letter to the Prefect of Propaganda Fide, the Dutch Cardinal Willem Marinus van Rossum.3 Van Rossum received the bishops’ proposal with mixed feelings. While he was pleased with the increased attention and commitment to missionary activity in the United States, the proposal upset his own plans to establish a universal, supra-national organization for the foreign missions that he hoped would give missionary work a sound financial and structural footing. His idea was to make the long-existing Propagation de la Foi its flagship and move its centre to Rome. This French lay entity, which had existed for almost a century, had served the missions well, but in the American proposal, it would be incorporated into the American Board, which van Rossum believed would be a hastening of its demise in the United States. 1 Henry K. Moeller (1849-1925) became in 1904 archbishop of Cincinnati and had a German-American background. Giovanni Bonzano (1867-1927), was Apostolic Delegate to the United States from 1912 to 1922. 2 ASCPF, NS, vol. 729, f.
