  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.

  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.
