...brilliantly spotlighted Cathedral Bishop Sheil and the Apostolic Delegate to the U. S. and three other Illinois bishops chanted prayers, asked absolution for the Cardinal's soul. His body was laid to rest in the great seminary he had built, St. Mary's of the Lake, in the handsome Colonial chapel which he had copied from a Congregational church in Old Lyme, Conn...
...monsignori marched down Michigan Boulevard in the Cardinal's funeral procession, ten times ten times ten thousand mourners lined the route. These citizens could count themselves honorary pallbearers of Cardinal Mundelein.

Auxiliary bishops sometimes, but not always, succeed their superiors. Last week most Chicago Catholics hoped that this one would...
...Bishop Sheil said: "What he [Cardinal Mundelein] authorized me to say was controversial-something he would not have wanted to have said for him-except that he felt that others had created a situation which might be mistaken to compromise the position of the Catholic clergy toward the Congress of the United States, and toward his great friend and admiration, the President. ... It constitutes disrespect for wisdom and experience, and is a positive impediment to our democratic process, deliberately to bludgeon Senators and Congressmen with letters and telegrams which can only be counted and not read...
