Francesco Marmaggio (1870-1949)

I found a nice series of photos of Archbishop Francesco Marmaggi from his pre-purple years, when he was nuncio to Poland (1928-1935).





Mantelletta, Mozzetta and Ferraiolo! Go figure...


Über-Throne!








Bring back those fur-collared coats!


Flowers for the Archbishop...

Cardinal Siri

Some readers keep asking for photos of Cardinal Siri, others send in photos of this still very popular prelate. To make things easier, I will put all my good pictures of Cardinal Siri into one posting, so you can enjoy them all at once without having to travel through the far sight's archives. Enjoy!

John Charles McQuaid (1895-1973)

Thanks to reader Fintan, who sent in two photos of John Charles McQuaid, Archbishop of Dublin from 1940 to 1972.

Speaking of Dublin: Don't forget that this diocese as well as the whole of Catholic Ireland needs our prayers in these days.
