Quotes

• Oppression deprived the Irish people of the right to possess and practice their religion, of the right to hold property, of the right to hold office, of the right to serve on juries, of the right to vote at elections, of the right to receive an education, of the right to protection of law, of the right to sue or plead in their own defense. The only right oppression allowed them for a long time was the right to be shot or to be hanged. ^ And there was enough of that.

• He had an active and successful career, building up parishes in a wide and sparsely settled section of north-western Missouri. As soon as he took charge of the Diocese of St. Joseph, his zeal and earnestness gave a new impetus to the affairs of the Church there, and the same was manifest with his advent to Kansas City.
