|quote=In 1899, the "Reverend" Antonio D'Andrea, who was later to emerge as a powerful figure in the Chicago underworld, founded the 'Chiesa di S. Antonio di Padova' with the benediction of the Bishop of the Polish National Catholic Church. In Hackensack, New Jersey, a suspended priest, Antiono Giulio Lenzi, established an independent church for the Italians who had been vainly requesting their own parish for several years. The Bishop of the Polish National Catholic Church, within which Lenzi styled himself 'Vicar General of the Italian Independent Churches,' on one occasion confirmed 1700 children in this church. Two other suspended priests organized an 'Independent Italian Church' in Marlboro, Massachusetts, in 1919. Although the movement for an independent Catholic church never achieved the proportions among the Italians that it did among the Poles, these incidents expressed a rebelliousness on the part of both priests and people against the American hierarchy.

D'Andrea had served a term in the penitentiary for counterfeiting. He had been pardoned by President Roosevelt through the influence of a former pupil whom he had instructed in foreign languages, for D'Andrea was a linguist and had studied for the priesthood in Palermo, Sicily.

The Chicago Daily Tribune commented upon D'Andrea's record as follows: "Anthony D'Andrea is the same Antonio D'Andrea, unfrocked priest, linguist, and former power in the old 'red-light' district, who in April, 1903, was released from the penitentiary after serving thirteen months on a counterfeit charge." "D'Andrea's name has also been connected with a gang of Italian forgers and bank thieves who operated at one time all over the country." He succeeded his brother as president of the Sewer and Tunnel Miners' Union."
