Maria Longworth Storer advocates and is seeking support for the elevation of Archbishop John Ireland (1st and 3rd archbishop of St. Paul, MN) to the College of Cardinals and vigorously opposes the elevation of Archbishop Michael Corrigan (3rd archbishop of New York, 1885-1902) to the same position. Storer even claims that Corrigan gave private information to Spain during the Spanish-American War.
