NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1921. —eee———————————e—e— s ARCHBISHOP CURLEY OBSERVES 420 YEAR Brief History of New Cardinal’s Career Tampa, Fla., Oct. 12.—Ten years a priest, all of them in Florida, and &even years the bishop of this diocese, preceded by four years in the Prop- aganda University at Rome, com- krise the meteoric career of the young Archbishop of Baltimore, who will - ascend the throme long sraced Dy the great Gibbons, on November 30. Tomorrow Archbishop Curley wiil Celebrate his 42nd birthday. Michael Joseph Curley was born in Athlone, County Westmeath, Ireland, October 12, 1879, one of ten children and a happy boyhood included amonz his playmates the celebrated tenor John MoCormack. Devoted to his ambition to become a churchman— first determined upon, he says, at the age of ten—the new archbishop's career may be said to have began al sixteen when he rode for the first time on a train, his first trip away from home, carrying him to Limerick to the College of Mungret in 1895. From then on his rise has been steady. Iis early home life and success in school perhaps may have predicted a more than ordinary career for the yrelate-to-be. His parents were fair- iy comfortable farmers. The River Shannon flowed through his father's holdings and at times flooded them. His early education was received in the intermediate schools of his na- tive town. He attended a school con- ducted by the Marist brothers, a French, teaching congregation, and kad an unusual ' opportunity with them to follow a classical course. He was studying the dead language of Caesar and Cicero as well as the liv- ing flery language of Clemenceau and Viviani when he was but nine years old.; At twelve he had been awarded a firsy grade certificate in elementary cnemistry, physiography and mathe- matics by the Science and Art Board ©f South Kensington, London, which board had an examining center in Athlone. Going to Limerick at sixteen, he pursusd the course outlined by the FRoyal Irish University and in 1900 with high honors recorded through- cut his college course, he was given his degree in mental and moral science. His course included classics, logic, metaphysics, ethics, natural theology, psychology, and history of philosophy. ‘With his ambition for priesthood’ before him, he realized that there ‘were gther flelds where a young churchman might be more needed than in Ireland. “While I loved the old land,” as he puts it, “and its ‘warm-hearted people, I longed to con- secrate my life to the service of God and my fellow men, in some part of the world where catholics were less fortunately situated from the relig- ious standpoint than in Ireland,” He ~ __applied for a post and gladly accept- ed an assignment to the mission of Florida and by order of the late Bishop Moore of St. Augustine, went to Rome to study sacred science in preparation for his priestly work in the Land of Flowers. He entered the Propaganda Uni- versity at Rome in 1900, where he had an opportunity of meeting and mingling with students from every pary of the world. Forty-five lan- suages or dialects were spoken in the _ university. He was given full marks ) almost every examinatidn. In 1901 i received the Bachelor of Divinity 3 and in 1903 the degree of i | Bicentiate of sacred theology. He was { awarded medals’ in Christian arche- ' ology, liturgy, fundamental theology, dogmatic theology and Scripture. , In the fall of 1903 he suffered a| severe attack of neurasthenia of the brain, induced by his heavy work and ‘was forbidden by his doctor and his bishop to present himself for further degrees. He relaxed his zeal in his studies, rested several months and then continued. He was ordained ,pflut by Cardinal Parocohi March 19, 1904, in the Basilica of St. John La- _ teran. During the greater part of his siay in Rome the rector of the uni- versity was then Monsignor (later Cardinal) Commassei. 2 *“I always look back on my days blood of Saints Peter and Paul; that Rome, guarded by the scenic Alban hills will never be forgotten.” More than once during his stay he had the privilege of an audience with the then Pope Leo VIII. and his sainted successor, now Pope Pius X. On June 29, 1904, the young priest bade adieu to the eternal city and the early days of July found him at home in Athlone after an absence of four years from his parents. He sailed November 3 from Queenstown for New York, planting his foot first on American soil November 9. He re- ported to his bishop, the late Bishop Kenny at St. Augustine on the eve of Thanksgiving. His first charge was St. Peter's par: ish, De Land. With the exception of eleven months of the year 1905 spent as secretary to the Dbishop and chancellor of the diocese, all of the then Father Curlel’s years as a priest were spent in De Land. While pastor at De Land he had charge of all the missions from New Smyrna to Fort Pierce and his missionary work kept him on the road almost constantly. There were .very few people along that 150 miles of then almost. bar- ren coast, who did not know the young priest in those days. He built a new church .and rectory at De Land; enlarged the church and built a small rectory in New Smyrna; gave Fort Plerce its first , Catho- lic church and through it main- tained the most friendly relations with his protestant neighbors. In fact, the new archbishop of Baltimore has al- ways been proud of the fact that “my protestant friends outnumber my Catholic friends ten to one.” The then priest became an Amer- ican citizen as soon as the law al- lowed, swearing allegiance to the Am- erican republic with “all the more eagerness, since I never . owed al- legiance to any other government.” Bishop Kenney died in October, 1913, and on April 3, 1914, Pope Pius X named the young priest as Bishop of St. Augustine.. He wah then just ten years a priest, and thirty-four years and six months old—one of the youngest men who had ever held so important a post in the church. He was consecrated in the old Cathedral of St. Augustine June 30 by Bishop Keiley of Savannah. The seven years of his episcopate have been busy ones. He has caused to be erected at least thirty-five gew churches. Just a few weeks ago he was en- thusiastic in his great work. ““All over the state there is a steady stream of converts coming into the field. There never was a finer spirit among the Catholic people since the day when the intrepid Pedro Menendez kneeled at the first mass offered on the site o1 $t. Augustine. Twenty years from row will see the diocese of Florida on of the finest in the southland.” His creed as he summed 1t up in a recent conversation is just three words—*God and country,” and he boasts of his pride in his citizenship in the America of today. WHIPPING POST REVIVED Prisoners in Ontario Penitentiary To. Receive 40 Lashes Apiece For Beat- ing Farmer. Kingston, Ont., Oct. 13—Forty lashes on the bare back is part of the punishment awaiting two prisoners brought to the provincial penitentiary here to serve 10-year terms. They are Louis Morin, 23 years old, and Walter Goodchild, 24, both of Ambherstburg, convicted of cruelly beating an old farmer while robbing his house. The revival of the whipping post at the penitentiary is due to the opera- tion of an amendment to the criminal code enacted last year authorizing judges to order applications' of the cat- o’-nine-tail in cases where: victims of assault and robbery are subjected to cruel treatment. latestidea in dessert molds.
