Dick (Catholic University of Leuven) Published on H-Catholic (October, 2017) Commissioned by Carolina Armenteros Hunthausen and Sullivan: Prophetic US Bishops In 1962, gathered from around the world, 2,540 bishops were present for the opening session of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65). The US delegation of 241 members was second in size only to that of Italy. Vatican II had a major impact on US bishops and inspired them to issue two remarkable pastoral letters in the 1980s: “The Challenge of Peace” and “Economic Justice for All.” Many of the bishops involved in the tense drama of the council are now deceased. Fifty years after the closing of the Second Vatican Council, therefore, two biographies of US bishops animated and shaped by the vision and message of Vatican II deserve special attention. These biographies of prophetic US bishops—Walter F. Sullivan (1928-2012) and Raymond G. Hunthausen (1921-)—detail how the spirit of Vatican II shaped their ministry and the institutional sanctions they endured following that inspiration. They are important men in the history of the Catholic Church in the United States; and their biographies do them justice. In Phyllis Theroux’s The Good Bishop, most of the historical report covers Sullivan’s life from 1953, when he was ordained a priest, to 2003, when at age seventy-five he retired as bishop of Richmond, Virginia. That fifty-year period witnessed the US civil rights movement, the war in Vietnam, the rise in feminist consciousness, and the assassination of one president and the resignation of another. In the Roman Catholic Church, one pope, John XXIII, opened the ecclesiastical windows to aggiornamento (updating), with the Second Vatican Council; and another pope, John Paul II, tried to reshape, slow down, and occasionally reverse the pace of change in the church. These events had a major impact on the life and ministry of Sullivan. Between April 1973 and July 1974, Sullivan was the apostolic administrator of the Diocese of Richmond. During that same period, Archbishop Luigi Raimondi, apostolic delegate to the United States, retired and was replaced by Archbishop Jean Jadot, who was apostolic delegate from 1973 to 1980. On July 19, 1974, Archbishop Jadot installed Bishop Sullivan as the eleventh bishop of the Diocese of Richmond. Following Sullivan’s installation, he and the archbishop walked across the Citation: H-Net Reviews.

The new bishop was a new-style bishop. Sullivan and Jadot were strongly committed to a Vatican II-styled pastoral church. Both men eventually paid the price for living out that vision. As long as Jadot was in Washington, however, Sullivan had a supportive and empathetic ally. Sullivan incurred the wrath of conservative Catholics by supporting progressive (and occasionally controversial) priests, opening his churches to gays and lesbians, condemning wars in Vietnam and the Middle East, calling for nuclear disarmament, and speaking out against the death penalty. He strongly supported giving women a greater role in the church as lectors, Eucharistic ministers, and pastoral administrators. He also appointed a woman as his chancellor. He incurred problems with Rome as well, which accelerated under Pope John Paul II and his new apostolic delegate (later Pro-Nuntius) to the United States, Pio Laghi. Rome was alarmed that the use of general absolution was widespread in the Richmond Diocese, and was upset that Sullivan wrote the introduction to A Challenge to Love: Gay and Lesbian Catholics in the Church (1983), an anthology of essays about homosexuality and the Catholic Church, edited by Robert Nugent. Rome strongly objected as well to joint liturgies at the ecumenical Holy Apostles Anglican-Roman Catholic Church in Virginia Beach. A host of other complaints, some bordering on the ludicrous, were continually sent to Rome by extremist Sullivan critics. Rome had received complaints, for instance, about a Richmond Diocese priest presiding at a summer Eucharist wearing shorts. Sullivan’s snappy response: “At least he wore underwear” (p. 166). Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and Archbishop Jean Jérôme Hamer from what was then known as the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (SCDF) saw nothing humorous in Bishop Sullivan’s ministry and leadership in Richmond. Traditionalist Catholics deluged the Vatican with letters urging his removal. Nevertheless, Sullivan carried on and remained bishop of Richmond for twenty-nine years. In a great many ways, Sullivan was a kindly, pastoral, and courageously prophetic bishop. He had a passion for peace and served for years as bishop-president of Pax Christi USA. He was not faultless, however, and his major blind spot and shortcoming—so true of many bishops—was dealing with clerical sexual abuse. Theroux observes: “Therein lies the tragedy. His imagination failed him” (p. 210). Sullivan did not do enough to deal with sex abuse issues; he, for example, did not involve law enforcement quickly. Theroux, well-known essayist, columnist, author, and teacher, first approached her project about “the good bishop” as an oral history. The more she got to know about Sullivan, the more her book emerged as a well-researched biography based on the issues that defined him and his ministry. Her biography is warm and friendly, but never hagiographic nor lacking in objectivity. It is a very good read indeed. John A. McCoy’s A Still and Quiet Conscience is very much a defense of Archbishop Hunthausen. Readers who hold Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI in high regard will not appreciate this book, because they are clearly the antagonists. For many years, McCoy was a journalist working on the city desk of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. In 1989, he became the public affairs director for the Archdiocese of Seattle. He held that position through Archbishop Hunthausen’s early retirement in 1991 and for the first four years of the administration of his successor Archbishop Thomas J. Murphy. McCoy had access to all of Hunthausen’s correspondence and worked in close friendship with the Citation: H-Net Reviews.

His book, which one could say has a friendly bias toward Archbishop Hunthausen, is very well written, based on primary sources, and deserves a special place on every church historian’s bookshelf. As I write this review, at the end of December 2015, Archbishop Hunthausen, who was Archbishop of Seattle from 1975 to 1991, is the only surviving American bishop who participated in all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council. He was also the last US bishop appointed before Vatican II began on October 11, 1962. And at forty-one he was the youngest bishop from the United States. McCoy begins his book with chapters about Hunthausen’s Trident opposition and his US tax protest. These closely related actions put the archbishop on front-page news reports in the United States and aggravated a Vatican already concerned about his deviations from Catholic episcopal practice. In 1982, Hunthausen withheld half of his income tax to protest the stockpiling of nuclear weapons and the Trident missile program, which had a base near Seattle, in Puget Sound, calling it “the Auschwitz of Puget Sound.” Pope John Paul II found himself faced with an archbishop whose conscience and whose understanding of Vatican II led him to challenge US President Ronald Reagan—a strong Vatican ally against the Soviet Union—over the issue of nuclear arms. In chapters 3 and 4, McCoy explains how “Dutch” Hunthausen, a young football star at Carroll College in Montana, changed his ideas about being a military pilot and a married man under the influence of Father Bernard Topel, a math and physics professor at Carroll and the diocesan vocations director. Topel, who was appointed bishop of Spokane in 1955, became Hunthausen’s spiritual mentor and confessor for forty years. Father Hunthausen returned to Carroll College for the 1953-54 school year as chemistry and math professor as well as athletic director and dean of men. In 1957, he was appointed president of Carroll College, where his style was consultative and inclusive. In July 1962, Hunthausen was appointed bishop of Helena. In October, he was in Rome for the opening of Vatican II.

  • This History Is in Two Parts, the First Gives a Brief Background of St
    A History of St. Mary's Church : This history is in two parts, the first gives a brief background of St. Mary’s Catholic Church before it became a Catholic Church. The second part is a brief history of the Catholic Church on Whidbey Island and includes the purchase of St. Mary’s Church in 1934 and its subsequent history. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH HISTORY Early in January, 1866, Mrs. Daniel Pearson, accompanied by her teenaged son and daughter, prepared to board the steamship CONTINENTAL in New York Harbor to make the trip around the tip of South America to the Washington Territory. They would be part of the Second Mercer Expedition. The First Mercer Expedition had sailed in 1864. Georgia and Josephine Pearson were members of that first group – they were called the “Mercer Girls”, and they came to teach school. Both sisters had jobs on Whidbey Island. They were chaperoned by their father, who had secured a job as the Lighthouse Keeper on Whidbey Island. He then sent for his wife and two teenagers. Mrs. Pearson and the children sailed on January 17, and they arrived in San Francisco on April 24, 1866. In a few days, they were sailing north on a smaller ship, landing on May 31, at Port Townsend, the port of entry for the Washington Territory at that time. On June 1, they sailed by ferry to Whidbey Island, coming ashore at Ebey’s Landing. As they climbed the bluff to their new home in the lighthouse, Flora Augusta Pearson, age 15, felt she was “one step from heaven.” And so, the Pearson family and other pioneer families settled Central Whidbey Island on “land donations.” Flora Pearson worked with her father as Assistant Lighthouse Keeper for eleven years.

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.
