Talk:Samuel Stritch

article is a veritable sea of blue - and "emigrate" vs "immigrate"

Is it really necessary to link United States? The page needs some serious help in getting rid of obvious stuff like this.

What *is* necessary is to redirect from Cardinal Stritch for users who don't know his first name.

And his mother immigrated to the US; she emigrated from Ireland. Two different words, with opposite meanings.

Article edited with "emigrated" -> "immigrated", and several delinks of common terms and names. Also new redirect added from "Cardinal Stritch". Milkunderwood (talk) 20:51, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Your definitions are correct, but then the sentence will need to be rewritten as

• His mother emigrated from Ireland to the United States with her parents at a young age, ...

She did not "emigrate to" anywhere at all - that is a linguistic impossibility. Milkunderwood (talk) 00:55, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Poignant Photograph

I remember a front-page photograph of Cardinal Stritch in one of the Chicago newspapers, that captures him offering Mass (in Rome, I think), and elevating the communion host with one arm. This was of course taken in the short interval between his right-arm amputation and his death. This picture would be a great addition if anyone can locate it. I wonder if he, like Isaac Jogues required a papal dispensation in order to perform the sacramental functions that require use of the right hand? WHPratt (talk) 19:22, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
