President Roosevelt admires Archbishop John Ireland but warns Ambassador Storer against advocating for Ireland’s cardinalship. In the popular mind it is impossible to separate what Roosevelt says as president from what he says as an individual. As such, he cannot interfere for or against the advancement of any man in any church.
