Talk:John F. Fitzpatrick

Catholic
A reference to J. F. as Roman Catholic was recently removed as "unsourced." Rather than simply replace it and add a source, I'll put the source here, because, while his religion is an easily sourced matter of public record, it might be unneccessary information in an encyclopedia article.

This is from Time magazine, Sep. 26, 1960, in a story called "The Press: The Peacemaker" http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,897610-1,00.html "The young Roman Catholic Irishman was destined to play a significant role in Utah journalism. From railroad clerking, John Francis Fitzpatrick went on to be secretary to another Irishman, Thomas Kearns, former U.S. Senator from Utah (1901-05) and millionaire silver miner."

In the context of Time's story on Mormon/'Gentile' relations, Fitzpatrick's Catholicism is relevant. Whether it is relevant for this encyclopedia article, I'm not sure. Thoughts?--Thelema12 (talk) 14:44, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
