John Murphy Farley (April 20, 1842\u2014September 17, 1918) was an Irish American<\/a> Cardinal<\/a> of the Roman Catholic Church<\/a>. He served as Archbishop of New York<\/a> from 1902 until his death, and was elevated to the cardinalate<\/a> in 1911. John Farley was born in Newtownhamilton<\/a>, County Armagh<\/a>, Ireland<\/a>, to Philip and Catherine (n\u00e9e Murphy) Farley. Farley, whose father was an innkeeper<\/a>, was orphaned<\/a> at age 7 upon the death of both of his parents. He attended St. Macartan\u2019s College<\/a> in Monaghan<\/a> from 1859 to 1864. Under the auspices of his uncle, he relocated to the United States<\/a> and entered St. John\u2019s College<\/a> in New York<\/a> in 1864. He studied at St. Joseph\u2019s Seminary in Troy<\/a> from 1865 to 1866, and at the Pontifical North American College<\/a> in Rome<\/a> from 1866 to 1870. Farley was ordained<\/a> to the priesthood<\/a> by Cardinal Costantino Patrizi Naro<\/a> on June 11, 1870. Upon his return to the States, he served as an assistant rector<\/a> at St. Peter\u2019s Church in New Brighton<\/a>, Staten Island<\/a> until 1872. From 1872 to 1884, he was secretary<\/a> to Archbishop John McCloskey<\/a>, who later became the first American cardinal<\/a> in 1875. He accompanied Cardinal McCloskey to the 1878 papal conclave<\/a>, but they arrived after the election of Pope Leo XIII<\/a> had already taken place. In 1884, Farley was named a Privy Chamberlain<\/a> and pastor<\/a> of St. Gabriel\u2019s Church in the Lower East Side<\/a>. He also attended the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore<\/a> that year. After becoming vicar general<\/a> for the Archdiocese<\/a> in 1891, he was named a Domestic Prelate of His Holiness<\/a> on April 8, 1892, and a protonotary apostolic<\/a> in 1895. On November 18, 1895, Farley was appointed an Auxiliary Bishop<\/a> of New York and Titular Bishop<\/a> of Zeugma in Syria<\/a> by Leo XIII. He received his episcopal consecration<\/a> on the following December 21 from Archbishop Michael Corrigan<\/a>, with Bishops Charles Edward McDonnell<\/a> and Henry Gabriels<\/a> serving as co-consecrators<\/a>. Farley became Apostolic Administrator<\/a> of the archdiocese upon the death of Archbishop Corrigan on May 5, 1902, and was himself named the fourth Archbishop of New York<\/a> on September 15 of that year. He was honored as an Assistant at the Pontifical Throne<\/a> in 1905. Pope Pius X<\/a> created him Cardinal Priest<\/a> of Santa Maria sopra Minerva<\/a> in the consistory<\/a> of November 27, 1911. He was one of the cardinal electors<\/a> who participated in the 1914 papal conclave<\/a>, which selected Pope Benedict XV<\/a>. Following the outbreak of World War I<\/a>, Farley stated, \u201cI would that peace could come by arbitration<\/a> and diplomacy<\/a>. It seems, however, that no permanent peace can be hoped for except through the defeat of German arms<\/a> in the field or the repudiation of the Prussian<\/a> autocracy<\/a> by the German people themselves. Criticism of the government<\/a> irritates me. I would consider it treason.\u201d He also said, \u201cAs Catholics in America<\/a>, we owe unswerving allegiance to the Government of the United States<\/a>, and it is our sacred duty to answer with alacrity every demand our country makes upon our loyalty and devotion.\u201d His dedication to victory in the war angered the Sinn F\u00e9in<\/a> element of the New York clergy, who believed the Cardinal was bowing to anti-Irish<\/a> bigots. He made progress in Catholic education<\/a> in the archdiocese the keynote of his tenure as Archbishop, and established nearly fifty new parochial schools<\/a> within his first eight years; he also founded the Cathedral Preparatory Seminary<\/a>. He was known to take daily walks with one of his priests down Madison<\/a> or Fifth Avenue<\/a>, noting, \u201cA man never collects his thoughts so well as when he walks alone or with a congenial spirit.\u201d Farley died in Mamaroneck<\/a>, at age 76. He is buried in the crypt<\/a> under the altar<\/a> of St. Patrick\u2019s Cathedral<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
