CORRIGAN, MICHAEL AUGUSTINE (1839-1902)

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 197 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CORRIGAN, MICHAEL AUGUSTINE (1839-1902) , third archbishop of the Roman Catholic archdiocese of New
York
 , in the United States, was born in Newark, New
Jersey
 , on the13th of August 1839. In 1859 he graduated at
Mount
  St Mary's College, Emmittsburg, Maryland, and began his studies for the priesthood as the first of the twelve students with whom the American College at Rome was opened. On the 19th of September 1863 he was ordained priest, and in 1864 obtained the degree of D.D. Returning to America, he was appointed professor of Dogmatic Theology and Sacred Scripture, and director of the ecclesiastical seminary of Seton
Hall
  College at South Orange, New
Jersey
 ; soon afterwards he was made vice-president of the institution; and in 1868 became president, succeeding Rev.
Bernard
  J. M`Quaid (b. 1823), the first Roman Catholic bishop of Rochester. In October 1868 Corrigan became vicar-general of Newark, a diocese then including all the state of New Jersey. When Archbishop Bayley was transferred to the see of Baltimore in 1873, Pius IX. appointed Corrigan bishop of Newark. In 1876 he resigned the presidency of Seton
Hall
  College. In 188o Bishop Corrigan was made coadjutor, with the right of succession, to Cardinal McCloskey, archbishop of New
York
 , under the title of archbishop of Petra; and thereafter nearly all the practical work of the archdiocese fell to his hands. He was at the time the youngest archbishop in the Catholic Church in America. On the death of Cardinal McCloskey in 1885 Archbishop Corrigan became metropolitan of the diocese of New York. He died on the 5th of May 1902. He was a scholar of much erudition, with great power of administrative organization, simple, generous and kindly in character. The earlier years of his archiepiscopate were disturbed by his controversy with Edward McGlynn (1839-1900), a New York priest (and a fellow-student with Corrigan at Rome), who disapproved of parochial schools, refused to go to Rome for examination, and was excommunicated in July 1887, but returned to the church five years later.
