    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.

  • A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY a Recent Conference Held at the New York
    A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY A recent conference held at the New York School focused on the Father Edward McGlynn controversy. Dr. McGlynn, a contemporary of Henry George, was excarrnunicated from the Catholic Church because of a bitter battle with his superior, Archbishop Corrigan of New York. Ignited by the spirit of George, Father McGlynn campaigned for him during the 1886 mayoral race. His advocacy of the Georgist solution to the land problem brought him into conflict with various church officials. It was a controversy that shook the foundations of the church in the United States, 1eadingeventually to a letter from George to Pope Leo XIII in defense of Father McGlynn. Although the excommunication was lifted, many questions were left unanswered. An important one concerned the role religious groups and organizations should play in social matters. This question was hotly debated for the next 100 years. Significant changes have occured, however -- not only within the Catholic Church, but in other denominations as well. Today, the Church has enmeshed itself in such crucial -conce-rns-as--the-nucicpr arrn race.- ------ -- Having expressed their views on war, the struggle for military superiority and the advancement of weapons technologies, the Catholic Bishops of the United States will turn their attention, in the near future, to American capitalism. Without question, advocates of Henry George should be tuned in to the Bishop's prognosis for our economic system. The slow process of preparing a statement on such a wide-ranging issue offers Georgists a golden opportunity to enter the dialogue in an atmosphere radically different from Father McGlynn's era.

  • Going My Way? Wending a Way Through 2 the Stumbling Blocks Between Georgism 3 and Catholicism 4 5 by MASON GAFFNEY* 6 7 ABSTRACT
    Toppan Best-set Premedia Limited Journal Code: AJES Proofreader: Emily Article No: 843 Delivery date: 23 July 2012 Page Extent: 27 1 Going My Way? Wending a Way Through 2 the Stumbling Blocks between Georgism 3 and Catholicism 4 5 By MASON GAFFNEY* 6 7 ABSTRACT. This essay surveys the issues between Georgists and 8 Roman Catholics in three classes: issues that are not peculiarly Roman 9 Catholic (RC) but play out across faiths and denominations, issues that 10 are peculiarly RC, and points of similarity and agreement. Addressed 11 in this fashion are the tensions that arise between the social gospel 12 and individual salvation, between specifics and glittering generalities, 13 between noblesse oblige and governmental reform, between the doc- 14 trine of original sin and tabula rasa, between the rich and the poor, 15 between the dignity of labor and the honor of predation, between 16 democracy and authority, between the regulatory emphasis rooted in 17 the philosophy of Aquinas and free markets, and between plain talk 18 and gobbledegook. 19 20 Introduction 21 22 There have been and are many Georgist Catholics and Catholic 23 Georgists. The divisions inside each group are perhaps as deep as the 24 divisions between them. This bodes well for future cooperation 25 between at least some Georgists and some Catholics. 26 Some outstanding Catholic Georgists or fellow-travelers in politics 27 have been Fr. Edward McGlynn (see Gaffney 2000), Governor Al 28 Smith, Mayor and Governor Edward Dunne, Mayor Daniel Hoan, 29 Union leader Margaret Haley, Presidential Advisor Joseph Tumulty, 30 Mrs.

  • The Standard Volume 2 July 9, 1887
    The Standard Volume 2 July 9, 1887 Page 1 The Coming Excommunication The Roman machine has acted promptly and boldly. Before midnight on the Fourth July the American press were informed by cable that orders had been sent to the archbishop of New York to excommunicate Dr. McGlynn and to publish the decree of excommunication in the journals. Details have at this writing not yet been given to the public but private information to the effect that Archbishop Corrigan is been authorized by cable to communicate his “rebellious subject” with the major excommunication, declaring him he whom the faithful must avoid that the same major excommunication is to be declared against all Dr. McGlynn's “sympathizers and abettors,” while the minor excommunication is to be denounced against all who communicate with either Dr. McGlynn or those “sympathizers and abettors.” In taking this straightforward course Cardinal Simeoni and his associates of the propaganda have acted in much more manly fashion than if they had adopted the sneaking suggestion that has been made here—to pretend that Dr. McGlynn had excommunicated himself ipso facto. It will be well if Archbishop Corrigan will carry out his instructions in the same spirit. The occasion is important enough to justify the most solemn and impressive ceremony that the resources of the cathedral will enable him to get up. Long after all else that he has yet done shall be forgotten the name of Corrigan shall be remembered as that of the archbishop who excommunicated McGlynn. The decision of Rome draws the line aid makes clear the issue between the Roman hierarchy and the spirit of freedom.

Foreword John Ireland (1838-1918) was one of the most important figures in American Catholic history. Born in Ireland, raised in Minnesota, and educated for the , priesthood in France, he was ordained for the Diocese of St. Paul in 1861. In 1862-1863 he served as chaplain to the Fifth Minnesota Volunteers. In 1869- / 1870 he represented his bishop, Thomas Grace, at the First Vatican Council. I Named vicar apostolic of the Nebraska Territory in 1875, he was immediately i renamed, at Bishop Grace's request, coadjutor of St. Paul. He succeeded to : that see in 1884 and attended the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore. In 1888, he was named the first archbishop of St. Paul. A dynamic speaker and lucid writer in both English and French, Ireland rapidly became the dominant figure in the liberal party that emerged in the ' American hierarchy after the Third Plenary Council. His influence over other members of that party is indicated by the extensive correspondence to him from Cardinal James Gibbons, archbishop of Baltimore; John J. Keane, 8 successively bishop of Richmond, first rector of the Catholic University of 1 America, titular archbishop of Damascus, and archbishop of Dubuque; and I Denis J.

MCGRATH A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History Written under the direction of T.J. Jackson Lears And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Catholics Incorporated: Class, Power, and the Politics of Assimilation in Nineteenth Century America By PATRICK T. MCGRATH Dissertation Director: T.J. Jackson Lears This project takes as its subject the integration of Catholicism into nineteenth-century American society, politics, and culture. Adopting a cross-regional approach, the dissertation argues that by midcentury the Church was far better integrated into the American South than the North, and had forged a powerful alliance with the Southern planter elite and the Southern-dominated Democratic Party. In the aftermath of the Civil War, the Church increasingly forged an alliance with the growing Irish- American middle-class, whose influence within Democratic politics proved critical to the advancement of Catholic interests. During the Gilded Age the Church itself proved an arena of ideological conflict, as working-class radicals and Irish-American elites sought to define the Church’s relationship to power and poverty. In the 1890s, however, many working-class radicals returned to the Church and embraced Catholic conservatism. At 1900 the Irish-dominated institutional Church defined itself as a bulwark of conservatism, moral order, and “American” values against the threat of secular radicals and liberals.

Revised 12 March 2000 1. TURBULENT TIMES IT WAS A DIFFERENT TIME, but often the same place (Cooper Union) in American life. No, it wasn’t radio, but the age of orators. One of the most spellbinding was Dr. Edward McGlynn; another good one was Henry George, who also wrote great books. They came together in 1886 to roil the waters of American politics and ideology. Through the Irish and Vatican connections, they also roiled world politics and ideology. It was a time when a Republican Presidential candidate (James G. Blaine) could be nominated by a militant atheist (Robert G. Ingersoll). Blaine could lose New York’s key Irish Catholic voters, and the election, for a supporter’s casual slur accusing them of “Rum, Romanism and Rebellion.” The slur was transient; the revelation of electoral power was permanent. New York State held the balance of power nationally; New York City held the balance in the State; and the Irish were a majority in the City (Curran p.195).

  • A Social History of the Brooklyn Irish, 1850–1900
    A Social History of the Brooklyn Irish, 1850–1900 Stephen Jude Sullivan Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Stephen Jude Sullivan All rights reserved ABSTRACT A Social History of the Brooklyn Irish, 1850-1900 Stephen Jude Sullivan A full understanding of nineteenth century Irish America requires close examination of emigration as well as immigration. Knowledge of Irish pre-emigration experiences is a key to making sense of their post-emigration lives. This work analyzes the regional origins, the migration and settlement patterns, and the work and associational life of the Catholic Irish in Brooklyn between 1850 and 1900. Over this pivotal half century, the Brooklyn Irish developed a rich associational life which included temperance, Irish nationalism, land reform and Gaelic language and athletic leagues. This era marked the emergence of a more diverse, mature Irish- Catholic community, a community which responded in a new ways to a variety of internal and external challenges. To a degree, the flowering of Irish associational life represented a reaction to the depersonalization associated with American industrialization. However, it also reflected the changing cultural norms of many post-famine immigrants. Unlike their pre-1870 predecessors, these newcomers were often more modern in outlook – more committed to Irish nationhood, less impoverished, better educated and more devout. Consequently, post-1870 immigrants tended to be over-represented in the ranks of associations dedicated to Irish nationalism, Irish temperance, trade unionism, and cultural revivalism throughout Kings County.

  • I. EARLY LIFE EDWARD Mcglynn Was Born on First Street, on the Lower East Side of New York City, September 27, 1837. the Event Cr
    I. EARLY LIFE EDWARD McGLYNN was born on First Street, on the Lower East Side of New York City, September 27, 1837. The event created no stir in the neighborhood beyond a report that “the McGlynns have another baby.” His father, Peter McGlynn, was a prosperous building contractor, some of whose work still stands—notably the old A. T. Stewart Building at the northeast corner of Broadway and Chambers Street, opposite City Hall Park. He also built the old French’s Hotel which for many years stood on the present site of the World Build- ing at Frankfort and Park Row. His mother was Sarah McGlinchy, a woman of fine character, one of whose jokes was that she had merely dropped the last syllable of her name when she married. Both came from County Donegal, Ireland, in 1824, but were married in this country. They were a prolific couple, for eleven children were born of their marriage. Two of them, the eldest and the youngest, were girls, the rest of them boys, nine in a row.
