Amleto Cardinal Cicognani

I'm back!

You poor and dear readers probably thought I fell off the earth. Don't worry, I am still here, but I got caught up in a lot of work, so I wasn't really able to blog.

Just to clarify: Blogging will continue for as long as I can find new material. Even if you don't see any new postings for a long, long time, it doesn't mean that I stopped blogging. When I finally shut down the blog, I'll let you know early enough, so you can observe an appropriate time of mourning and maybe send me some "last minute"-pictures to post.


Why don't we start with part one of a "New photos pf Cardinal Spellman" two-part-mini-series? Most of the photos have watermarks, but they are still worth seeing.







Part two: Tomorrow!

Cardinal Stritch and others


It's easy to recognize Cardinal Stritch (left, with mitre). The prelate to the far right in cappa magna looks like cardinal Spellman, the cardinal to his right looks like McGuigan and whoever recognizes the fourth cardinal grabbing his biretta is really, really good!

Amleto Cardinal Cicognani (1883-1973)

Before he became a Cardinal he was the Apostolic Delegate to the United States from 1933 to 1959.


Here we see him during the installation of Archbishop Francis Patrick Keough, Baltimore.
