A vindication of Cardinal O’Connell — a reply to “The Outlook.”

The author responds to the “strong spirit of disapproval” manifest in a recent article in The Outlook towards Pope Pius X’s selection of prelates for honors of the Cardinalate, especially towards Cardinal Denis Joseph O’Connell. The author discusses O’Connell’s career and how it reflects the similar admiral qualities ascribed to Cardinal James Gibbons by the author of The Outlook article.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Maria Longworth Storer

President Roosevelt rebukes Maria Longworth Storer for her repeated attempts at “ecclesiastical intrigue” while trying to get Archbishop John Ireland made Cardinal. Roosevelt has repeatedly told Storer and her husband, Ambassador Bellamy Storer, that both they and he cannot officially get involved in matters regarding the Catholic Church. However, the Storers seem to have ignored these directives and continued to improperly write letters on Ireland’s behalf and to improperly quote portions of Roosevelt’s letters about the matter. If such actions do not stop, Roosevelt will have to remove Bellamy from his position as Ambassador. He asks Maria to return his letters on the subject.

Letter from Thomas St. John Gaffney to Theodore Roosevelt

Thomas St. John Gaffney writes to President Roosevelt about an enclosure regarding the Consul General of Italy. Gaffney spoke with Collier’s Weekly owner, Peter Fenelon Collier, about Norman Hapgood’s editorials. Collier reassured Gaffney that the paper supports Roosevelt and Collier will speak with Hapgood about supporting the President in his editorials so there is no doubt as to how the newspaper stands. Gaffney also mentions a reception for Cardinal Satolli; his plans for the Chicago convention; and Archbishop Ireland meeting him before the event. Gaffney reminds the President to speak with Monsignor O’Connell.

Letter from John Ireland to Theodore Roosevelt

John Ireland writes of his recent meeting with Monsignor Denis J. O’Connell, who told the Pope “the words you were so kind as to say to him. The results . . . were most favorable.” However, when Loeb denied that O’Connell had been sent by the President, O’Connell was concerned that the Vatican reaction might be to disvalue the O’Connell’s interview. Ireland suggests that President Roosevelt invite O’Connell for lunch as a sign of Roosevelt’s high regard for the prelate. By doing so, the President’s message that O’Connell presented would not be questioned.
