3778 — Roosevelt and a Catholic President

By Editor

Did Mr. Roosevelt ever express the hope that he might see the time when a Catholic would occupy the presidential chair, or words to that effect?

He did, we believe, about five years ago; spoke to the effect that he would be glad to see the time when a Catholic would occupy the presidential chair. There was a great deal of discussion about it at the time, and some earnest protests were sent to Mr. Roosevelt from religious bodies.
