The change in his ecclesiastical
position in no way altered the beloved
Catholic leader. His life had been a
combination of simplicity and tremen-
dous activity. Aside from two trips
to Rome, he had spent his entire life
in New York and he continued to do
so as Cardinal. He had long been one
or the most influential and popular re-
llgious leaders in New York. and so he
continued.
Cardinal Farley was born April 20
1872, at Newton, Hamilton, County
Armagh, Ireland. His father was an
