Talk:James Gibbons

Presidential Award
The article states that, in 1917, Gibbons received an award from "President" Theodore Roosevelt. TR was not President in 1917, so this needs straightening out.John Paul Parks (talk) 17:21, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Name?
I don't know how to change the title, but it should be Cardinal James Gibbons, not James Cardinal Gibbons.129.174.73.42 20:07, 23 September 2006 (UTC)tad.

Actually, it should be James Cardinal Gibbons. When he was elevated to cardinal-priest, he took Cardinal as his middle name. His signature reads "J. Card Gibbons", for example.

No, "Cardinal" is not a middle name. "Cardinal" came to be inserted between 1st and last names because previous use, before last names came into use, was to refer to ___, the Cardinal from ___. I think the New York Times had that remark back in 1958. But there are some cases where it's OK to refer to Cardinal (1st name) (last name). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 19:06, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Shouldn't there be some critical questions about his influence on the public opinion about Leopold II's Congo? The article from Robert G. Weisbord, "The King, The Cardinal and The pope" in Journal of Genocide Research reveals this other side of the coin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.225.224.250 (talk) 20:26, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

conclaves
There should be notes about the conclaves he was eligible for (1903, 1914). He participated in one and missed one (probably arriving late because, like Cardinal O'Connell in 1914 and 1922, he had to cross an ocean in slower transportation of that time). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 19:08, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

I myself have now checked the FIU cardinals site, and have noted that Cardinal Gibbons participated in the 1903 conclave and arrived late to the 1914 conclave. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 15:09, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Harbour Lights
As the ocean liner carrying U.S. Catholic attendees home from the Vatican Council neared the continent, Gibbons met with fellow travelers to plan how best to deal with the Press they knew would await them at the dock. In the U.S. there had been considerable hostile reaction to news of the new doctrine of Papal Infallibility. At the dockside, Gibbons read a prepared statement and took questions. Each clarification seemed to breed more aggressive questions. Finally, James Gibbons told the clamoring audience this story. "During my stay in the Vatican I had two occasions to meet with Pope Pius. Each time, he greeted me warmly and pronounced my name Jibbons." --Edward Chilton — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.82.56.3 (talk) 14:33, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
