    Cardinal James Gibbons (1834-1921), the second American to become a cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church; encouraged American Catholics to support the labor movement, saying "It is the right of laboring classes to protect themselves, and the duty of the whole people to find a remedy against avarice, oppression, and corruption." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Gibbons

    See hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/cph.3a47937 for an 1886 photo of the cardinal.
  • Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks, penny, for the information about Cardinal Gibbons. I'd like to keep the discussion going. Do you have any idea what he might have been doing in Milwaukee?
  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    According to the NYTimes, Gibbons attended a convention in Milwaukee in August 1913 when the American Federation of Catholic Societies met there, and he performed the formal opening ceremonies at St. John's Cathedral.
