Besides attending to various cases of his growing and heterogeneous
Diocese, Bishop McFaul has always been ready and willing to lend a helping
hand to his brother Bishops, especially in the matter of the Federation of the
Catholic Societies of America. With a zeal and activity seldom found in pre-
lates of his age, he has addressed immense gatherings in most of the large
cities of the Union, and has never shirked an opportunity to do good. In
fact, the success of the “ Federation” is entirely due to his foresight in gather-
ing, and his courage in welding these single societies into one solid mass that
will be able to stand up for the rights of Catholics, whenever and wherever
circumstances may demand.
It was also Bishop McFaul, who, upon the suggestion of Rev. D. J. Dug-
gan, of Bordentown, N. J., was chosen as arbiter to unite the factions of the
A. O. H. Not only is he loved and honored in his own Diocese, but over the
whole country his name and fame is known, and revered as one of the cham-
pions of Catholic interests in every movement of good.
The following address was delivered by Bishop McFaul, at Cincinnati,
September 17, 1905:
Tue AMERICAN FEDERATION oF CATHOLIC SOCIETIES.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Let me begin by assuring you that I am profoundly grateful for this
opportunity of addressing the people of this great city; and that I highly
appreciate the magnificent welcome you have given Federation this evening.
It is inspiring to be greeted like this at the inauguration of any movement; in
this instance force is derived from the fact that Catholics are beginning to
realize the importance of their message to the entire people of America, and
are anxious for some suitable instrument whereby it may be delivered.
